International Gospel Hour

Known also as Golgotha, we visit the place where Jesus was crucified along with two criminals. Let’s see from a place of death how we can live today.

From two accounts of scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, we are reminded and commanded to seek and search the ways of God through His word.

The scripture brings forth two attributes of Daniel that are worthy of pursuing and applying to our lives and application with our lives.

From what many call “the Greatest Sermon ever preached,” no doubt the Greatest Preacher that every lived asked a most “valuable” question that mankind needs the answer.

The words of the apostle Paul serves as a great pattern today—for God to supply His children so they may supply others.

Benefits are always emphasized in job interviews, before and after—always a plus and a consideration. But oh, how the benefits of Christianity are much greater!

We learn from the lives of others; the occasions and circumstances therein and there are a number of life lessons within the book of Genesis within the time of Joseph.

Examining Isaiah the prophet of old brings us to a moment where although rebellious and what appeared hopeless, God would always remember His remnant—and how the remnant should remember God.

A Biblical lesson of old reminds us of our priorities and what happens when one is “…busy here and there.” Are we too busy? Are we busy here and there with the wrong things?

Trust. Such a beautiful word and more so when one’s trust is in the Lord. The book of James gives assurance of God’s supply to those that trust in Him.

No matter one’s stage in life, there is the glory of God to lead, help and move us in His way. How thankful we are to see the glory of God!

Knowledge in any field, study or pursuit is necessary. Yet there is only one area of knowledge that should be desired and needed—the knowledge from God’s Word.

How important was heaven to the Apostle Paul? He made it personal. “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). That’s REAL living…now and then!

How thankful for God Who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to meet the greatest need of man—redemption from sin and salvation through Christ.

When one’s last breath is drawn, eternity begins. What is ahead? What is certain and what does the word of God say?

Although we are in a changing world, there are some things that are still certain and such certainty helps us deal with changing world.

How fortunate is this world to have the Almighty God as the “God of all comfort” for comfort is needed. How are some ways the comfort of God helps us?

God’s love for man, His tender affections and concerns for man’s welfare, are beyond question. What a joy to know and follow HIS will.

From a wonderful lineage, a prophet and servant of God, Ezra leaves an example worthy to follow and a model to present to others for the glory of God.

The life of Joseph truly had its “ups and downs.” From a pit to prison to palace, what a journey guided by God and an example of stewardship applicable for us.

From the beautiful book of Jonah we see how God provides our needs through His grace just as He provided the needs of Ninevah. Change for God IS good.

Remember the toughest moments in life when you cried out to God? Jonah was faced with such a moment in the belly of that great fish. A lesson then deserves a lesson now.

No matter where one walks in this life, God is always near. When one’s decisions move one away from God, He is still near. Will we draw near to God?

“Tho' by sin opprest, Go to Him for rest; Our God is able to deliver thee.” Penned by the late William A. Ogden, a wonderful hymn that assures and directs our living and is most worthy of study.

Words of Christ from the blessed “Sermon on the Mount” are just as true and needful today. What a pursuit to be pure in heart—from the “beatitudes,” or “attitudes to BEcome.”

Walking in the steps of Christ is the ultimate goal for everyone and to walk in the steps of the Apostle Paul Who followed Christ is a joy—spiritually and literally. Join Jeff as he shares such a journey.

Daily we are always addressing something whether at work, school, whatever our status might be. However, addressing or focusing on the things that be of God are of most importance.

We’ve seen animals “set free.” The one incarcerated awaits the day to be “set free.” Through Christ, what joy in that one can also be “set free.”

It takes work to get along with others, but if a lot of people take just a little effort—that adds to a lot and what a better world this would be.

Some of the last teachings of Jesus Christ was to leave behind what would help His apostles…and what would help us. The peace that only Christ can give.

The gift of God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ stands forth as an expression of love and obedience through God’s grace. A worthy study from days gone by.

The hymn “Softly and Tenderly” expresses it best with the stanza that says, “Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing…” Each day that goes by we are closer to God’s judgment.

Can one imagine the rejection of love from above? A study from Luke 7 allows us to see the one who rejected after we not the one who received it.

Divine love from above—God sending Jesus—has impacted people for over 2,000 years. Let’s see how it impacted those in the time of Christ with a study from Luke 7.

The “Son of Man” seems to be the preferred title that Christ uses Himself…about eighty times in scripture. Human and divine—and how thankful the world is for the Son of Man.

Concluding thoughts from part one seeing the power of the cross of Christ that no matter how great sin may be, the power of the cross through God’s grace is greater.

A question asked where God knew the answer—He knew it then and He knows it now. Let’s ask the question and God’s Word lets us know where we are.

The late W.A. Bradfield still speaks (Heb. 11:4) as Jeff shares another lesson wherein we are blessed to have God’s remedy of sin—a prescription we all should have filled.

From Christ, the Greatest Gift ever given, more gifts for mankind are available to accept, embrace and enjoy.

Expressed in song, “Our God is an Awesome God,” one is in awe of the gifts only from God and we should be desiring and embracing them daily.

Honestly, our thoughts and feelings can be wrong, mistaken and misled. Let us be warned about what we think and how we feel when it comes to what God has said.

As the sweet hymn says, “At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light…” Where darkness entered daytime, the light of the world came forth.

We can do without a number of things and still do well and if we are missing something that will help, that we will add. But is that the case with God and Christ?

No matter how grim things in life may be, God has the answers and provisions if one will but turn to Him—hope is ahead and its new every morning.

Jesus was THE Master Teacher and His Mastering of parables helped many to understand. What a blessing to consider those parables and especially the parable of the ten virgins.

Our “Psalmcast” concludes Psalm 7 looking at God’s continued direction with David, his determination and further walk—more lessons for us this day.

Our “Psalmcast” looks at David wandering with his problems, but a God provided direction brings him through it…thus lessons for us today.

The young man Timothy was instructed to “…continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of…” referring to the scriptures. That same assurance is for our youth of today—it’s the Savior’s Way. This is part two of “youth.”

God is never the author of confusion—His teachings to man are simple and can be easily accepted and applied. Christianity is simple yet powerful living.

From a “Question and Answer” segment, questions about “Suicide” and “Self-Righteousness” arose needing Godly and Biblical Answers. Let’s consider this today.

You know, we can easily call John 3 a “must read” chapter of the Bible. The musts therein are absolutes for us. We “must” take a listen, friends.
