Merry Christmas from Brenten Powers - highlights from our live Christmas Eve Eve Flight 1080 show on AM1080 KSCO.Featuring: Pastor Dave Campbell, Evangelist Daniel Beaudoin, and Host Dave Michaels.

Brenten continues verse by verse through Paul's letter to Titus about the task of pastors, overseers or leaders of churches is to teach sound doctrine and refute false toxic talkers, to bring correcting and help people have solid faith and lives.

Today's topic "Hold to the Word" is another way of saying "Dwell On Truth". Brenten Powers shares the biblical foundations for biblical teaching, instruction, doctrine, and that's holding fast to the trustworthy word of God as delivered through the prophets in the Old Testament, Jesus and the apostles in the New Testament. All things that Jesus taught his disciples is what has been passed down to us in the New Testament, so that we know it's authority is inspired by God and it's useful for us.

Is your pastor qualified by his relational, personal and doctrinal integrity according to God's word? This week, Brenten explores the 6 personal characteristics of qualified pastors found in Titus 1:8.

Paul instructed Titus to appoint qualified elders as overseers or pastors in each city of Crete. The qualifications we look at today are marks of maturity, godly character and relational integrity. Brenten's teaching can help you learn how to be a good and faithful steward, even if you are not called to be pastors, because this qualifications for a pastor is to serve as an example for all of us.If you've been blessed spiritually by Dwell on Truth and you'd like to give materially to support future episodes, there are many ways to do that listed at www.dwellontruth.org/give Thank you for considering giving to support Brenten, the Powers family, Dwell On Truth and Open Air Campaigners!

Reading Romans 12-14 and Titus 1-3, Plus my reactions to the week of the election took me through the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) and from ranting to reasoning. 

Disclaimer: This episode is the opinion of Brenten Powers based on my personal convictions of that God is not calling me to vote for evil, or the lessor evil of 2 evils. It's not necessarily the view of the churches or organizations, or sponsors of other episodes. In the first half, I'm teaching from 2 Timothy 3, and in the second, I'm sharing my reasons why I'm not voting for Trump or Harris in the Presidential election. Search the Scriptures and follow Jesus without partiality. Repent and believe the Gospel. Jesus is king, no matter who is president.

Brenten's final teaching through the end of the book of Romans. Topics include avoiding the deception of smooth euphemisms, serving the Lord Jesus Christ, packing the gospel into our praise and worship for the glory of God and obedience of faith. (Romans 16:17-27)

In the closing chapter Paul's letter to Christians in Rome, the Apostle Paul greets people by name. Brenten teaches on the significance of acknowledging people by name, and the importance of our work in the church. We learn that having a systematic understanding of the Gospel is important but also that people of the Gospel are also important in the church.

Paul gives his concluding prayer requests in Romans 15:30-33

Brenten Powers interviews Otis Coen of Hear the Call Music about his testimony of recovery from a life of sin, sex, drugs and rock and roll, to a life of commitment to God, wife and music for good.
