Daily (Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays) less than 5 minute Bible devotional to help get your day started right. Practical topics that will help grow and strengthen your walk with Jesus.
Todays episode teaches us what True Revival is. I will give you a hint-true revival runs on the timetable of God, not mans timetable. We will discuss the definition of revival and look at some examples of revival in the Bible.
Sometimes we get a little cold. I don't mean cold as in a lack of heat. I mean cold as in our faith grows cold. When that happens, it usually means that there is something (sin) blocking our relationship with Jesus. In this episode, we look at what it means to be revived and what is essential to being revived.
What is your affection set on? Seriously, what has your focus day in and day out? Bills? Vacation? Work? If you answer anything but Jesus, then your focus and affection is on the wrong things. If you want to build a rock solid faith in Jesus that will stand strong in whatever life throws at you, then you must keep your eyes fixed on Him. Are you ready to do that?
In order to build a rock solid faith in Jesus, you must first understand that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus. Confess your sins and believe in Him, and His sacrifice for your sins. That's the only way to build your faith in Him
Another step to developing a rock solid faith in Jesus is to understand that it will not happen overnight. We must overcome sin, and we must understand that to sin is a choice. What are you going to choose today?
there are things in life that causes us to be faithless, that hinder the building of our faith. Today, I give you two things that i believe hinder our faith and keep it from growing.
Jesus told Thomas to be not faithless. Today, I am teaching on what being faithless means, and how to avoid being faithless.
Luke 24:1-12. At the dawn of Resurrection Day, Jesus' disciples had no faith. Upon hearing the news of the resurrected Jesus, the disciples didn't believe it. Faithlessness is a problem for all of us.
What do you see when you look into the empty tomb? A former Pastor of mine asked that on Facebook the other day. It got me to thinking. In this episode, I give you 4 things that I see when I look into the empty tomb. What do you see?
Mark 5:1-20, Jesus heals a man who was demon possessed. He tells the man that he can't come with Jesus, but instead, to go into his town and people and proclaim the great things that Jesus did for Him. Sometimes we put more importance on those who leave their home to proclaim the Gospel, but we still need those who are willing to go into their towns, workplaces, homes and school to tell others what Jesus has done for them.
Today, we are studying selected passages from Mark 15 about Good Friday. The day that Jesus was crucified for your sins and mine. We are specifically looking at the mocking He endured for us. Thank you, Jesus!
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, people praised Him because of the miracles and works He had done. They were offering praise to Him. Jesus has done miracles and works in your life as well, when was the last time you praised Him?
As we continue studying the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, better known as Palm Sunday, I present a question for you to ponder, What message are you telling the world? Just like the people that lined the streets of Jerusalem and put palm branches and clothes down to make the way for Jesus, we need to make the way for Jesus as well. Throughout Scripture, Repent was preached. We need to proclaim that people need to repent. What message are you giving?
Many of us are holding on to things that is hindering our relationship with the Lord. It is also hurting our praise. Today, we look at how dangerous it is for our faith to hold on to things we don't heed to hold on to.
A week before His crucifixion, multitudes lined the streets praising Him as He passed by, it's what we call Palm Sunday. When was the last time you raised your palms in praise to Jesus?
In today's episode, we continue the series The Calling of God, Moses got God angry because he focused on what he couldn't do, instead of what God can do.
Moses first asks, Who am I? Then Who are you? Today, he asks what f they don't believe me? A legitimate question. We must realize the important thing is our obedience to God and His calling on your life.
First, Moses asked “Who am I?” Now, Moses asks, “Who are you? If we are going to proclaim Jesus to a lost and hurting world, we must make sure we know Him. Do you know Him today? That's what we are talking about in todays episode.
In todays episode, we look at the first question Moses asks God in Exodus 3:10-12. We may feel inadequate to do what God has called us to do, but we can know and trust that God will be with us.
Starting a new series titled The Calling of God. Today, we look at Exodus 3:1-9 where God begins speaking to Moses through the burning bush.
Finishing up our series on Romans 6, where we talked about how to embrace the whole be way of life that we have in Jesus. Today, Paul challenges us to compare our lives before and after Christ.
Continuing in Romans 6, today we discuss what we are going to submit to. Paul challenges us to submit ourselves to God, not to the sin nature. It's a choice to make hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.
In this episode, we continue our series in Romans 6, discovering key life lessons to help us walk the walk that God desires of us. Today we are looking at the topic of being dead to sin. As believers, through Jesus, we can be dead to sin. Meaning we are dead to our old, sinful life. Since we are dead, we should no longer strive to live in sin any longer.
Today, we begin a journey through Romans 6, where we will discover how God expects us to live. Paul challenges us to not live driven by our old sin nature, but rather, live as someone free from the bondage of sin.
In Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, we see some valuable teaching that we need to apply today. Jesus is teaching about our need for forgiveness, and how He is the one who paid for it.
We continue looking at the topic of trials. Today, we look at what you and I need to do get through those trails. We need wisdom. And we get that from God Himself.
Trials, none of us like them, many of us fear them. But, trials are an important and vital part of our walk with Jesus. Listen to this episode to see why they are important to our faith.
Today we talk about trials. In Psalm 141 David provides some help in getting through times of trial.
In First Thessalonians, 5:17, Paul commands that we pray without ceasing. Meaning that we are continually in prayer. Can we really do that in 2025? We can look to a person who lived the pray without ceasing command. Nehemiah. Throughout his book, we see short prayers done in any and all situations Nehemiah faced. We can implement this lifestyle in todays world.
Today, I talk about a sculpture I'd seen many years ago at a local attraction. We then look at Psalm 139 and see that God is all around and knows everything about us, and prunes and purges us to become who He wants us to be.
Today, we are looking at some highlights from the book of Nehemiah and see how Nehemiah sorted through the opposition to complete the task he was given.
Today, we finish up our study in the book of Haggai. We are looking at Haggai 2:20-23 and see the results of serving God faithfully.
Today, we look at Haggai 2:10-19 where we are challenged to please God by living Holy lives. How can we, in 2025 live Holy lively;;;;;;;;;;era.
Continuing our study in the Old Testament book Haggai. Today, we look at chapter 2:1-9 and see where God is encouraging them to keep on in their work of rebuilding the temple. He encourages them with words like “be strong”, “fear not”, “I am with you.” All those words should encourage you as well, as you work on the things God has called you to complete.
We are studying the Old Testament book of Haggai the next few episodes. In this is a challenge for us to “consider our ways” and how we should change our thinking and behavior.
We see over and over that the writers of the Gospels are eyewitnesses to the works and words of Jesus. Why, then, do so many of us put our trust in idols who don't even have breath in them while ignoring the true living God?
Today, we finish up studying John 13:36-14:7. Jesus is teaching that He alone is the one and only way to get to the Father. It doesn't matter what the world believes or teaches, Jesus alone is the way to eternal life.
Today, we take time and see what happens to Peter after he denied Jesus.
We continue looking at John 13:36-14:7 and discover what happens when we fail the test.
In John 10, the Pharisees confronted Jesus and wanted Him to tell them if He was the Messiah. Jesus had strong words for them, which include that they are not of His own. In this episode, we explore what the Pharisees trusted more that caused them to miss the Messiah.
In studying the parable of Lazarus and the Rich man in Luke 16, we can learn a few things about Hell. Listen in and see what we learn, and what God really desires for you and me.
Today, we are exploring what the writers of the Bible meant with the phrase Abba, Father.
In today's episode, we look one more time at Galatians 4 where Paul asked them if they now considered him an enemy because he told them the truth about their rebellion and falling away from Pauls message. We also look at a passage from Isaiah 1 where God was basically telling Israel that He had enough of their burnt offerings and empty service. He challenged them to make a choice, a choice we must make as well.
In todays episode, we are taking a look at the modern, contemporary church, and the true church of Jesus. Are they the same? Different? Take a listen and see which church you resemble.
In this episode, I give some examples of people getting angry at hearing the truth, and why that happens.
Selected verses from Galatians. Paul asks the church a question, he asked “am I your enemy because I told you the truth?” Many people today reject the truth and rely on what they want the truth to be. You can pretend all you want, but it will never be the truth. Faith
Selected verses from Romans 3. Even though few want to hear the truth, I'm going to show you the truth.
There are some people who don't believe anything unless they see it with their own eyes. In this episode, i list several eyewitnesses to the life and times of Jesus Christ
The man we know as the Apostle Paul didn't start out that way. He was persecuting the church, arresting and putting in prison the Christians. That is, until he encountered Jesus, who set him on the right path.
John 15:18-21, Jesus is warning us about the hatred of the world, and the coming persecution of the church.
