These episodes provide practical insights and Bible-based teachings for effective Christian living.
Some Christians avoid reading the Book of the Revelation because they say the book is too difficult to understand. Some avoid reading the book because they find the scenes of natural disasters and plagues troubling. In this podcast episode, however, Evangelist Frank King focuses on Jesus' instructions to John with regard to the seven churches in Asia to explain that the purpose of the book is not to terrorize the church but to encourage the church. In the end, God will create a new heaven and earth and make all things new.
In this podcast episode, Frank King addresses the love of God for the lost. The love of God is perfectly summed up in John 3:16: “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” We come into contact with sinners every day. We have lost relatives. Some in our home may be lost. This message aims to challenge us to evaluate our love for the lost or the lack thereof.
A life founded upon a good foundation does not just happen. The foundation of your life is important because it undergirds everything else. We cannot escape or avoid difficult challenges in life. That is true for Christians as well as for non-Christians. We must prepare ourselves for the storms of life by building our life upon a good foundation. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King reveals how you can lay a good foundation for your life.
Jesus often taught about how to pray. The more conscientiously we apply those teachings, the more successful we will be in the area of prayer. Some people argue that we don't need anyone to teach us how to pray. Everybody knows how to pray, they say. Prayer is just talking with God. In simplest terms that is true. But there is prayer and then there is effective prayer. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King explains three reasons God says no to our prayer.
God calls Christian Fathers to be spiritual leaders in their home. Accordingly, in chapter 6, verse 4 of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus he writes, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and the instruction of the Lord.” This calling is an essential part of anything else God calls fathers to do. In this message to fathers, Frank King underscores the point that God places high value on fathers being faithful in the area of fatherhood.
No matter who we are or how much we love the Lord, we all need to be encouraged at times. Church attendance should be an important source of encouragement for believers. But it's also important that we know how to encourage ourselves in the Lord. In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on the importance of knowing how to encourage yourself in the face of circumstances that threaten to overwhelm or depress you.
As we see what's happening in our world, none of us like the course that this world is on. According to the Bible, that course is being driven by a spirit that's working in the hearts of unbelievers. There is no earthly solution to this problem. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank addresses what the Bible says about the works of the devil and the powers of darkness at work in the lives of unbelievers.
As Christians, we are ambassadors for Christ. He has returned to the Father. We are here in His stead to do the work of the Kingdom. Our success depends upon our ability to maintain focus amid the many distractions in our world. If we lose focus, we run the risk of losing our footing. One of the objectives of the Word of God is to help us to stay properly focused so our feet can stay firmly planted.
Times change, people change, but God remains the same. What pleased Him in times past pleases Him now. What displeased Him before displeases Him now. We refer to these truths as the immutability of God. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King expounds on this subject. He explains why it is priceless to us that God never changes. The truths found in His Word are relevant to the past, the present and the future.
Sometimes, our inability to receive what we request from God is not due to unbelief or even sin but our failure to keep the faith. As Christians, we must know how to keep believing God even when time and circumstances suggest that doing so is to no avail. In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on the importance of persistent faith. Persistence is what enables us to remain steadfast in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.
According to the Bible, Enoch and Noah walked with God in their day. But what does that mean? And how can mortals walk with the invisible and eternal God? In this podcast episode, Frank King addresses the subject of walking with God. We dare not think of ourselves that we can have such a relationship with God. But through the Word of God, Evangelist Frank King explains how we can have such a relationship with God and that it is His will that we do.
When somebody says he believes in God or that he is a God-fearing person you don’t necessarily know whom or what he is talking about. That is, you don’t know what the person’s concept of God is. In this podcast episode, Frank King underscores the point that many people in our world today are passionately religious but are not worshiping the true God. In this powerful teaching, he addresses five truths about the one true God.
We know what the day we call Easter or Resurrection Day is all about. Jesus died for our sins, and God bodily raised Christ from the dead. Believing on the death and bodily resurrection of Christ is the basis of our salvation. In Romans 10:9, Paul the apostle writes, if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe that God raised Christ from the dead we will be saved. In this Easter message, Frank King addresses the subject, what if Christ did not rise again.
On Easter or Resurrection Day, we reflect on Jesus’ sacrificial death and His bodily resurrection. This tends to be the most heavily attended Sunday worship service for Christian churches. The previous Sunday, which we refer to as Palm Sunday, sets the stage for that historic event as Jesus makes His prophetic entry into Jerusalem. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King expounds on the biblical bases of what we refer to as Palm Sunday.
Most if not all of us would agree that there are many reasons for people to be anxious about life these days. The reason this subject resonates with us so well is because all of us at one time or another are seriously worried or anxious about something or some things. In this podcast episode, Frank King declares war on worry and anxiety as he addresses how we can live beyond anxiety about life.
In this podcast episode, Frank King ministers on the important subject of integrity. Some may argue that they are people of integrity solely on the basis of the fact that they are Christians. But integrity is not incidental to being a Christian. Being a Christian gives us all the wherewithal to become people of moral uprightness. But realizing it requires one to make a personal decision to be consistent and uncompromising with regard to strong moral principles.
In life we utilize a number of resources to help protect us: firearms, home security systems, physical security, etc. Also, in Psalm 91, the psalmist talks about divine protection. When it comes to harm and danger, all of us have and always will have some exposure. None of us can eliminate all the activities in our life that can put us at risk. In this podcast episode, Frank King addresses God’s ability to protect you.
In this podcast episode, Frank King challenges the believers to engage the power of corporate prayer. This involves believers praying together with other believers. Jesus taught that where two or three are gathered together in His name, He will be in their midst. These words are the essence of corporate prayer. Evangelist King says local churches that are not passionate about corporate prayer are missing out on something that’s indescribably powerful.
We don’t need to have all the answers to life’s challenges. But our faith must be in the one who does. God always has the answer. He always knows what to do about our situation. That in a nutshell is the message in this podcast episode. The Lord is not limited by our circumstances. He can do amazing things with the little we have, if we trust Him with it.
In this podcast episode, Frank King underscores the life-changing power of the Word of God as he teaches on how the Word changes lives. Jesus likens the Kingdom of God to a sower going about sowing seed. In that parable, the seed is the Word of God. Evangelist King explains that the nature of a seed is that it brings forth after its own kind. Similarly, when the Word of God is sown in the hearts of men, it has the power to bring about Christlike character.
As long as God is God, life is never hopeless but at times it can seem that way. In this podcast episode, Frank King presents the Word of God as the message of hope for the hopeless. He stresses how important it is for those of us who preach the Word of God to stay closely connected to God. That’s because we are called to be messengers of the Word of God, but only God knows what His people need to hear.
In this podcast episode, Frank King explains that we don’t always have it together in the area of faith. He reminds us that you can be a genuine Christian and still struggle at times with living by faith in the teachings and promises found in the Scriptures. To see that this is true, we have only to look at the Lord’s disciples. Though they were with Him throughout His public ministry, even they at times struggled with unbelief.
In this podcast episode, Frank King reminds us that the church needs more workers. Too often pastors and church members focus mostly on head count and church attendance. But the greater need for every local church is for more believers who are committed to serving the Lord by serving others. Christ is our example. He was moved by compassion to meet the spiritual needs of others, and we are Christ’s ambassadors.
In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on the concept of godliness with contentment. It simply means to have a deep reverence for God while at the same time being satisfied with what you have. The problem is that godliness and contentment don’t automatically go hand in hand. In other words, just because you love God does not necessarily mean you are satisfied with where you find yourself in life. So, contentment is not incidental to godliness.
The year 2020 has been a tough year for America. The most horrific event of the year has been the Coronavirus pandemic. But in this Christmas message, Evangelist King says for those of us who know the true meaning of Christmas, there is no level of darkness in our world that can extinguish the joy and the light this season brings. In this episode, he focuses on the words of the heavenly host who appeared to the shepherds—“on earth peace, good will toward men.”
The Bible refers to the devil as our adversary who goes about seeking whom he may devour. If God were to open our eyes so we could see the evil at work in the spiritual realm, it would blow our mind. But though it may appear to some that the devil and the powers of darkness are having their way in our world, that is not the case. In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on God’s power over the devil in our life.
In the United States, we recognize the fourth Thursday of each November as Thanksgiving Day. But for the Christian community, Thanksgiving Day is more than a day that comes once a year. Instead, it is to be for us a way of life. For the Bible says, in everything we should give thanks. In this Thanksgiving Day message, Evangelist Frank King addresses the sin of unthankfulness that even Christians can at times be guilty of.
Judgment means to form, to have, or to give an opinion about something or someone. People often quote the words of Jesus when He said “Judge not that you be not judged.” Based on those words, many believe it is wrong for us to judge others in any way. But Evangelist Frank King argues that this is not the case. In this podcast episode, he expounds on what the Bible teaches about judging others.
False prophecy was a serious problem in the Old Testament and in the days of the apostles. It is also a serious problem today. Moreover, false prophets will not become less of a problem going forward but they will increase with time. The good news is that we don’t have to be a victim of false prophets. In this podcast episode, Frank King equips the body of Christ on how to guard yourself against false prophets.
In this podcast episode, Frank King explains that we are living in a world that is increasingly at war with God. This war is a spiritual war. It is reflected by an unwillingness to submit to Kingdom rule. Using Psalm 2 as his basis, Pastor Frank explains what God will ultimately do about the situation. A resounding message in this episode is that God is in control--even in a world increasingly at war with God.
The breadth of the importance of the Holy Spirit in our life is evident in biblical phrases such as the person of the Holy Spirit, being born of the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, being empowered by the Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, etc. But in this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on a very fundamental concept with regard to the Holy Spirit; that is the idea of Christ living in us through the Holy Spirit.
The resounding message in the Bible is that we are justified by faith in Christ and His redemptive work on the cross. To be justified means to be free from the penalty of sin. But some people today are deceived or blind enough to think that they can do enough good to make it into heaven. In this podcast episode, Frank King tackles this theological subject. He explains why being “good” is not good enough for anyone to make it into heaven.
Chapter 10 of the Book of Acts talks about a man by the name of Cornelius. He prayed to God always. One day, God “remembered” his prayers. Similarly, there is almost always a duration of time between when you pray to God and when He answers your prayers. You must not become weary in the process. In due season, He will answer your prayers. That is the gist of Frank King’s encouraging message in this podcast episode.
We are not saved based on how much we know about the Bible or about Christ. On the other hand, growing in knowledge is not just a religious exercise that we do. There are reasons why it’s important for us to grow in knowledge. In this podcast episode, Pastor Frank King shares two significant reasons for growing in the knowledge of the Word of God and in the knowledge of Christ.
As Christians, we are ambassadors for Christ. Accordingly, our vital mission is to be laborers together with God in winning the lost. But based on a recent survey, many Christians are hesitant about sharing their faith. Some because of fear, and some because they feel ill-equipped to do so. In this podcast episode, Pastor Frank King shares some biblical points to help Christians become more effective in winning the lost.
In this podcast episode, Frank King focuses on the all-important subject of brotherly love. This is the love that Christians should have for each other. "We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren" (1 John 3:14). This quote from the Scriptures gives us the relationship between brotherly love and salvation. In effect, this verse reveals that the way we know that we have been saved (passed from death to life) is that we love the brethren.
In this podcast episode, Frank King says everyone who is committed to following the Lord is on a faith journey. That’s because walking by faith is the only kind of journey the Lord calls us to. It's the only kind of journey the Holy Spirit leads us on. And it’s the only kind of journey the Word of God will lead us on. Nevertheless, Pastor King explains what makes walking by faith a challenge for us.
In Philippians 2:12, Paul the apostle pens these words: "work out you own salvation." These words suggest that one must work to obtain salvation. But we know that we are saved by grace through faith. In this podcast episode, Frank King explains that the objective of salvation is twofold. Not only has God saved us to go to heaven after we die but also He has saved us to serve Him while we are here. Accordingly, Frank explains what it means to work out your own salvation.
In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King teaches on a Great Celebration scheduled to occur in heaven. All celebrations in this world will pale in comparison to this Great Celebration in heaven--Christ will be united with His the church the bride of Christ. God has extended an invitation and He has made provisions for all to be partakers of this grand occasion. Sad but true, many—actually most—of those invited with reject the invitation.
In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on the life-changing power of the gospel. God has a simple plan of salvation. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ. On the other hand, Minister King reminds us that salvation is a powerful experience, one that always involves an encounter with God. That encounter may not be super dramatic, but through it everyone becomes a new creation. Old things pass away. All things become new.
The truth is that no matter how strong we are or how strong we think we are, all of us will experience times of physical, emotional or spiritual low points in our life. Those are the times when we are most likely to say things, make decisions, or to do things that we ordinarily would not and that we will later regret. In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on how we can stand strong in spite of our human frailties.
This episode provides some key principles for a more effective prayer life. Generally speaking, everyone knows how to pray since a loose definition of prayer is "talking to God." But in this podcast episode, Frank King argues that effective prayer is more than just talking to God. He addresses the right way to pray and the wrong way to pray. He defines praying the right way as effective prayer and praying the wrong way as ineffective prayer.
Moses was upon the mountain with God who showed him a building plan. God instructed Moses to build Him a sanctuary in strict accordance with the pattern God had showed him. This was to the intent that God could dwell among His people. The resulting tabernacle and the subsequent temple were commonly referred to as the house of God. In this podcast episode, Frank King explains why the house of God is a special place, ordained by God, where we can experience His awesome presence.
God has a plan for each of our life. But if we will be honest about it, sometimes, what God is doing in our life makes no sense to us. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are God's ways higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9). But God does not require us to understand what He is doing in our life. Rather, He calls on us to trust Him. Listen to this podcast episode as Frank King teaches on the subject of trusting God with regard to His plan for your life.
Perhaps everyone who attends a Christian church will tell you he or she has faith in God. But biblical faith is not subjective. That is, one's idea of what it means to have faith in God is not necessarily what it means to have faith in God. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King addresses the difference between dead faith and biblical faith. He also challenges believers to put their faith in God.
If there was ever a time for the church to become serious about prayer, that time is now. In this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King teaches on the power of a praying church. He says prayer is the means by which we invite the powers of heaven into the earthly realm. But he argues that this authority has not been given to everyone. Rather, it is reserved for the church of the living God. This message aims to embolden the church in the area of corporate prayer.
Nearly everything in life that's worth achieving requires discipline. That is true in both the physical realm and the spiritual realm. In this podcast episode, Frank King addresses the importance of spiritual discipline in the life of a Christian. He underscores the point that spiritual discipline is the only means by which we can achieve godliness. The content of this message is 100% applicable to all Christians. But since it was produced on Father's Day, it is specifically addressed to Christian fathers.
The United States is currently beset by a deadly pandemic that has already claimed the lives of over 100,000 people in the US. Additionally, over 40 million Americans have applied for unemployment during the past several months. Needless to say, many people are worried about their safety and about the future. Using the current state of America as the occasion, in this podcast episode, Evangelist Frank King teaches on how we can successfully navigate a turbulent world.
In this podcast episode, you will be blessed and challenged as Frank King teaches on the importance of growing in the knowledge of the Lord. He says, we don't need to be mature in knowledge to go to heaven. But there are practical reasons why we should grow in the knowledge of the Lord. For instance, so we can maximize our relationship with Christ and so we can increase our ability to be used by Him. These two areas should be important to every Christian.
One of the most phenomenal aspects of the Christian life is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. In this podcast episode, Frank King teaches on the importance of Christians being empowered by the Holy Spirit. As for why would God indwell us with the phenomenal person of the Holy Spirit, Frank says it's because of the amazing life God is calling us to live and the amazing works He is calling us to do. But we can only experience that power when we place a demand on the Holy Spirit.
Jesus refers to Himself as the Good Shepherd. This title distinguished Him from the corrupt and self-serving shepherds of His day. Jesus says those of us who belong to Him are His sheep. The Jews could well relate to this analogy of the shepherd and the sheep because tending to sheep was a main occupation for them. In this podcast episode, Frank King focuses on the qualifications for being a sheep of the Good Shepherd. What does Jesus say about those who belong to His sheepfold?
