This past month we have been hearing messages from Rick Atchley, who is the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas. Rick has been teaching a series of messages that offers answers to tough questions from people just like you and me who ask; “But What About?” In this new month Rick continues answering those question by unpacking “But What About All the Hypocrites? So why, why are followers such fakers? When it comes to those who claim to be a Christ follower, why are they so hypocritical, and why would a person want to engage with such a group of people? So, here's Rick to shed light on how and why we should consider that Christianity stands or falls on the person of Jesus, not on the performance of Christians. With a look at how that works, Here's Rick… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

A stressor or even an obstacle to faith for many people is the sense that heaven is giving them the silent treatment. In today's message, our speaker, Rick Atchley contends that God's Silence does not mean that God is absent. “But What About” When God Feels Distant?This week, Rick Atchley, the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas continues His series of messages: “But What About?”, answering difficult questions of faith that are from the hearts of just regular people like you and me.The Bible is full of stories of men and women of faith who went through seasons of silence with God.

If we were to be honest, I think we all would have to admit that somewhere, sometime we all have asked or thought; “But What About?”, You know what I mean; a doubt concerning God? This week, Rick Atchley, the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas continues His series of messages: “But What About?”, answering difficult questions of faith that are from the hearts of just regular people like you and me. So, have you ever asked in your own mind “but what about” some of God's seemingly extreme harshness in the Bible's Old Testament? And how do we mesh that view of God with what we see in the New Testament?In today's message Rick Atchley takes a step back to get a “Big Picture View” of what's going on and why sometimes God's perspective of People / Events may be beyond our limited scope. So, here's Rick to bring some perspective to Judgement, Love, and forgiveness and how we can know and trust the God who bears scars that should have been ours!

Honestly, you know you've had one. Somewhere, sometime we all have asked; “But What About?”, right? You know what I mean; a doubt concerning God? This week, Rick Atchley, the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas continues His series of messages: “But What About?”, answering difficult questions of faith that are from the hearts of just regular people like you and me. It's not rocket science to realize that Evil is all around us. In fact, I'm gonna say the question of Evil is THE Most prevalent argument, excuse, question, that people express when they have a “But What About” moment. And for most, that moment comes from a painful experience that tears at their hearts and lives. I'm not sure the answer Rick gives about Evil is one that will set comfortably when you hear it but that does not make it less true?!So, here's Rick with difficult answers to a most difficult question that we all ask; “But What About Evil?” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

Okay, be honest; ever have a “But What About” moment? …You know what I mean; a doubt concerning God? Today, Rick Atchley, the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas begins a series of messages, answering difficult questions of faith from just regular people like you and me. Today, Rick introduces this series by taking a look at the doubts we all have.Rick says “faith is hard, and real faith is a real struggle.” A Bible verse quoted in today's message really strikes a cord with me and that is from Mark 9:24 where a man answers Jesus: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”.The good news is, overcoming doubt leads to a stronger, more resilient faith!So, here's Rick to get us started down a road of addressing some really tough faith questions that, can lead us to a real, grounded faith where God can do an amazing work, even miracle, in us.

John says, these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

A subject that Jesus talked about again and again was the Kingdom of God. Jesus taught that God wants us to take on His Kingdom View; a view not based on the temporary but on the eternal, because His Kingdom is forever. This month, Aaron Brockett, the lead minister with the Traders Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana has been leading us through a series he is calling modgniK. modgniK is simply Kingdom spelled backwards. Jesus has invited all of us to be a part of His kingdom, a kingdom that through the lens of our current culture's World View seems very backwards and upside-down. Today, Aaron wraps up the modgniK series with a look at the thing that really sets God's Kingdom apart from every other kind of kingdom. In this Kingdom, this King gave His life as a ransom for us!

In our culture, more is more, but Jesus taught and modeled that the more you're looking for is found in less. You see, God wants us to take on His Kingdom View; a view not based on the temporary but on the eternal, because His Kingdom is forever. This month, Aaron Brockett, the lead minister with the Traders Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana will be leading us through a series he is calling modgniK. modgniK is simply Kingdom spelled backwards. Jesus has invited all of us to be a part of His kingdom, a kingdom that to us seems backwards to our own World View. In today's message Aaron uses the word Inclusive to describe the Kingdom of God. That word, has a lot of baggage associated with it. And it means different things to different people. As a result, using it to describe God's Kingdom, for many people, throws up a flag and begs the question what does he mean by that? According to Aaron it simply means that in the Kingdom of God everyone is invited and welcome to respond to Jesus' invitation.

Jesus has invited all of us to be a part of His kingdom, a kingdom that to us seems backwards to our own World View. God wants us to be people in whom and through whom generosity flows like a river. In the kingdom of this earth, stockpiling and security are the norm. But in God's kingdom, generosity stands out.

In life, all of us tend to see the world through lenses of our own making This World View affects what we think, and say, and the decisions we make. The problem is, we live in a sinful world and this tends to skew what we think or believe about God bending it into something that is not accurate.

You're listening to the Christian's Hour Welcome to the TCH broadcast! TCH is a ministry of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. Let's face it, there are a lot of out there ideas, about who God is and what God is like. This month, we're listening in to what God says about Himself, by the names God uses to describe the very essence of who He is. And, when it comes to God, His name means everything. But be forewarned: this may totally change what you think about God. And it will change your life. This month, our teacher Ben Cachiaras, lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, and their multiple campuses in the Baltimore area, is taking us on a journey to intimately learn who God is, by unpacking the names God uses to describe Himself. El Shaddai, The God almighty, the God who is all-sufficient. God wants us to come to Him not for what blessing, object or feeling He may provide in a given moment. God wants it to be enough that He is there, with us, that there is strength in His presence, that He is enough. So maybe you're asking; how exactly does this all play out in life? Well, here's Ben to paint the picture of a Mountainous God; who loves you To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

"What's in a name?" When it comes to God - everything. Let's face it there are a lot of out there ideas about who God is and what God is like. This month, we're listening in to what God says about Himself. But be forewarned: this may totally change your understanding of God. This month, our teacher Ben Cachiaras, lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, and their multiple campuses in the Baltimore area, is taking us on a journey to intimately learn who God is, by unpacking the names God uses to describe Himself. Ever been tested? I don't mean like a school test, but I mean the tests of life, like the kind that really demonstrate what you are made of? That show the real you? In today's lesson Ben Cachiaras shares how God uses life's tests to teach us how to trust and obey in our walk with God. And in the process reveals The God Who Provides.

"What's in a name?" When it comes to God - everything. With so many crazy ideas about who God is and what God is like, this month, we're listening in to what God says about Himself. But be forewarned: this may totally change your understanding of God. This month, our teacher Ben Cachiaras, lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, and their multiple campuses in the Baltimore area, is taking us on a journey to intimately learn who God is, by unpacking the names God uses to describe Himself. If there were a list of the top 10 preconceived ideas that derail the ability of people to understand what God is trying to communicate in the Bible; one of the top contenders might just be our own understanding of the role of a father. Now, while many of us had a father that did a great job of filling that role, many fathers may have twisted or destroyed what that role should really look like. But we do have an example available of what the perfect Father embodies, and that version of a Father is the name God chooses to describe Himself and the relationship He wants to have with us.

Ever been called by a less than desirable name? Children, even a lot of adults, can use names to belittle, even bully. On the other hand, if you have ever been honored with a title you know that names can bring honor. Names carry a lot of value, they connect us, and in Bible times names carried a lot of deep meaning. So, did you know that in the Bible the God of the universe has more than one name? Including one that was considered by the Jews as un-speakable? This month, our teacher Ben Cachiaras, the lead minister with Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, is taking us on a journey to intimately learn who God is and he's doing it from the names God uses to describe Himself. So, when Moses asked God who he should say sent him, God told Moses, tell them I AM sent you. If you take just a moment to stop and consider the scope of a name like I Am you will probably have a hard time wrapping your head around it? At the same time, it paints quite a picture of the incredible God who, by the way, also knows your name!

All this month we have been unpacking the Bible's answers for coping with rising spiritual floodwaters. As we have considered how to NOT drown in these overwhelming waves in life, it does beg the question; what about suffering? Is it from God, is suffering the result of sin, is it just the natural consequence of our actions? Does God punish us? In today's message, Flood of Discipline, our teacher, Bob Russell, addresses this difficult subject. This month, our teacher, Bob Russell, has been unpacking how to deal with life when it gets overwhelming, much like the crush of Rising Spiritual Floodwaters. Bob Russell is a retired senior minister of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, where he served for 40 years as Southeast became one of the largest churches in America. Today, Bob couples a wayward, rebellious prophet from the Old Testament of the Bible with a passage from the Bible's New Testament to help us wrap our minds around suffering and how to face it. So, here's Bob to help us see the Flood of Discipline through Spiritual 3-D glasses. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29

The Christmas season is full of joy, but it is also full of stress.  And that's how it was when Christ was bornborn into a scandalous situation, into an occupied nation, under an oppressive regime, ruled by a maniac - murderous, governor, forced to escape as a refugee to a foreign country - a time of joy and anxiety.  Perhaps that's why four times in the birth narratives the angels say Do not be afraid.   This month teacher, Rick Atchley is exploring why Christmas should make us bold; because there's something about Jesus coming that makes fear leave.

With everything that is always going on around us, good OR bad, God's desire for us is all good! Most of all, God wants us to take on the image He designed just for us, one that resembles His image. Given where all of us start this requires a big, big change, perhaps better described as a complete makeover, re-imaged into who He designed us to be. This week our speaker is Bob Russell., This message is one shared by Bob during his 40-year ministry with Southeast Christian Church. Southeast, one of the largest churches in America is located in Louisville, Kentucky. This week's message; The Grace of Gratitude is a fitting conclusion to our series ReImaged.

When-ever I see a new building starting, I love to guess by its bones what it will be when it is finished.

Trust is a funny thing. By that I mean how we sometimes trust but other times not so much. For example, we trust that as we approach on coming traffic on the highway those drivers will follow the rules and stay on their own side of the road, even though they may be disregarding the rules about speed. We may not trust a politician yet we elect them and trust them to run the country we live in. In the same way we call on God in times of trouble yet trusting His word, His promises, His plan for our eternity, not so much. This month, Gene Appel who ministers with Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, California has been walking us through the book of First Peter gleaning from its pages foundational life concepts that will help us live out Unshakeable Hope. One of the original 12 followers of Christ, Peter penned the letter of first Peter to early Christians to help them live in Hope through Unwavering Trust in the Eternal God and His plan for redemption through Jesus His Son.

Have you ever wondered, what drives this world, where this world is headed? Ever wanted to just shout: Stop the world, I want off. There were some folks, a long time ago, that were probably thinking just that. Persecuted, displaced from their homes, not really belonging.

This week, Gene Appel who ministers with Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, California is walking us through the book of First Peter gleaning from its pages foundational life concepts that will help us take on UnShakeable Hope. In his letter, the follower of Jesus, Peter uses a concept that most all of us find very, very scary.

Sometimes do you ever wonder, am I enough? Am I too broken, too flawed, or even too exhausted to keep going? This month, we invite you to listen in as we discover, from a Jesus follower named Peter, how God is bigger than our story, greater than our circumstances, and stronger than our storms. This week, Mike Breaux, teaching pastor with Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, California with multiple campuses in Southern California and beyond, is walking us through some foundational concepts of grace from the book of First Peter.

So, here's Mike with a mighty dose of hope that comes from the Undeserved Grace of Jesus, that can help us become UnShakeable!

Through-out the month of September our messages have centered on how, in all of our lives sometimes, life's struggles are very real! Our speaker this week follows up on that series with a reminder that dealing with life's struggles for the long term, requires living a life that does not follow the norm. Today's speaker, now retired, Tim Harlow, was the lead minister of Parkview Christian Church, located in the Chicago, IL area. In today's message Tim challenges the concept of 'normalcy,' using his own unique style of humor and personal examples to illustrate how societal norms might not lead to long-term fulfillment. In fact, Tim implores us to be "Abby-Normal" by prioritizing values over immediate desires. So, not sure how the term Abby-Normal plays out? Here's Tim with the low down on how Abby-Normal, the narrow road, and the Bible's account of the lives of brothers, Jacob and Esau, can help us live for the long haul To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29
