In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Paul's unexpected call to Macedonia—a reminder that divine redirection often follows human rejection. Join us as we reflect on how God's purpose prevails, even when the world says “no.”

Many of us need to learn how to let go. Let go of the things that cause us to worry. Worry is not something God wants us to carry. Today, we will learn how to let go of our worries, and embrace the peace that only God can give.

With all that is going on in our country right now, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Heaven has immigration rules. What are they? Let's look.

Acts 2:41-47, here we get a glimpse of the early church. We need to be more like this, and less like the church is now.

After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up.

God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.

God wants to give you a sound mind. A mind that is at peace with God, a mind that is focused on Him, and not the world. Are you ready to receive that mind today?

Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn't have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don't associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.

God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.

2 Timothy 4:7, Paul is teaching that God did not give us fear. Fear paralyzes our faith and renders us useless to God.

We are looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:7 and seeing what God has called us to, and what He has called us to abstain from.

There have been posts on social media lately that has caused me to scratch my head and say “huh?” One recently was someone posted that we need to read Ephesians 5:14, this verse proves that the Bible is “woke.” Friends, this kind of false teaching is all over our world today. We must make sure we walk right in this world, we need to awaken from our sleep and pull our heads out of the sand. By the way, Ephesians 5:14 is calling us to awaken out of our sleep and start living in the light of God.

Your faith is either proven or disproven by the works you do. Faith and works go together. Your works prove your faith. Your faith prove your works.

Today, we are going to look at a trial example. Trials are a part of life, and I will review what a trial is. I will also look at a real life example of someone who gone through a trial, and how they handled it.

Today, we are looking at a real life example of temptation. David and Bathsheba. Be sure to listen and see how David got carried away into sin, and find out what the consequences of that sin was.

Today we are looking at trials. You know, those things of life that none of us wants. In James 1, we are told how we should respond to those times of trials. When your faith gets tested, how do you respond?

Adam & Eve failed theirs. Jesus passed His. Today, we look at temptations. Find out where temptations come from and what makes them tick, but also where Adam and Eve fell short. Tune in and learn how to watch out for temptations.

What does it mean to be set apart in a modern world, that is my topic for today. We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to do what they please, not matter the consequences. The Bible paints a different picture. One where God desires us to be holy, to be set apart, not following the things the world chases after. This episode will challenge your way of living in our modern world.

We are told throughout Scripture the importance of prayer. We taught how to pray and how not to pray. But, the question I want to pose to you today is: Do you expect anything out of prayer. In Acts 12, we read about Peter being thrown in prison, and the church praying consistently for him. When Peter shows up at the door, the people praying for him first don't believe it's actually him, then are astonished at the sight. Listen to this episode, and take time to look at your prayer life and prayer habits, and start praying the way Jesus would want us to pray-expectantly.

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.
