Abounding Love Podcast with Former ”Tex” Watson

In this uplifting Abounding Love podcast, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke. Our theme is the Kingdom of God, where our coming King lives, and where we live in the Spirit now and in the future. Through the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God lives within us. When we were born of the Spirit, all things become new, because we've been resurrected with Christ into His Heavenly Kingdom. You can't separate God, Jesus and us from His ...

In this fervent Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke on how you can live in the Kingdom of God or in the kingdom of Satan. God's Kingdom is a Heavenly Kingdom of love, light, life and peace. Jesus brought us into the Kingdom of God, teaching us how to live in it now and in the future. In Luke 8:43-48, we read how a woman with an "issue of blood" for 12 years, in faith touched the hem of Jesus' garment a...

In this uplifting Abounding Love episode, I continue a series in the Gospel of Luke. There are two places you can live today; the kingdom of this world; or the Kingdom of God, if you are born of the Spirit; created anew by faith in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. The purpose of Jesus' coming was to translate us out of the hate and darkness of Satan's kingdom -- the kingdom of this world, into God's Kingdom of Love and Light....

067 Creative Faith in Luke #2

In this Abounding Love episode, I continue a series on the Gospel of Luke. We'll look at the conquering aspect of the Word of God. Just how much of a victory do you believe you achieve through faith in Christ? God's Word tells us how Jesus lifted us up into His Kingdom, so that we no longer need to rely on the things of this world to live victorious. We obtained "Victory in Jesus" t...

In this uplifting Abounding Love episode, I begin a series in the Gospel of Luke on the Kingdom of God, which is future, but it's also present in us right now. Jesus, when asked about the coming Kingdom, responded, "For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21b, NKJV). The Kingdom of God is within us through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which we received once we were born again. As such, we need to look at the wo...

In this eye opening Abounding Love episode, I share how others had to show me where to find well known Bible passages. You'll find great wisdom for yourself and wisdom to share with others as you study these passages. For example, we begin by looking at the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20:1-17. The Lord begins by introducing Himself, "I am the LORD thy God . . ." But the Children of Israel were not able to keep these commandmen...

237 What To Read When Troubled

In this comforting Abounding Love episode, I share some of the more common Scriptures we can draw on during times of trouble to find the mind of Christ. When in distressful times, we are all troubled, but the Word of God has answers for us if we know where to look. I cover seventeen (17) types of problems and Scriptural answers in this message. We might be in sorrow or in danger, but when we go to the...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share how we need to know where to find what God says in twenty-one (21) specific Bible chapters that focus on a particular subject. Some chapters are so famous in the Church, they have received universally known names. Join me as we review where these chapters are found and why we want to remember their "address" in order to read them all during the week.

#1 Abiding Chapter, John 15; #2 Business M...

In this Abounding Love podcast, I share answers to often asked questions. You've probably found that men have a lot of answers, but many of them aren't good answers. And in reality, God has only one answer: His Word, Jesus Christ. In 1 Peter 3:15, we are to first sanctify [set apart] the Lord God in our hearts [the seat of our thoughts, choices and emotions]. We're to be set apart for God's use, because we're to be ready to give an...

In this passionate Abounding Love episode, I share on how to conduct ourselves as followers of Jesus Christ. Simply, the Word of Grace is to govern our conduct, while following Jesus and doing His work as "fishers of men" (Mark 1:17). He says: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27, KJV). His Word is to confirm that it's His voice. Jesus goes on to say: ". . . and I give unto them eternal life; an...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share ten (10) rules or actions needed for faithful Christian living. #1. Read and Meditate God's Word, ". . . faith cometh by hearing, and hearing . . ." (Romans 10:17). When we read the Good News, we hear it in our mind and put faith in Jesus! We replace things we used to put faith in, with faith in the things God states in Scripture. Beyond reading the Word, we must meditate on what it says [Jos...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share thirteen (13) instructions from Scripture that are necessary to grow in Christ [1 Peter 2:2]. Start now or later, but without them, you will stagnate! You may question why your Christian life isn't going well, with so many difficulties? Could it be you aren't studying God's Word [2 Timothy 2:15], attending church [Hebrews 10:24-25], fellowshipping with Christlike people [Acts 2:42-47], prayi...

In this continuing Abounding Love episode, I finish up a two-part series on Twelve Levels of Faith from the KJV Bible. Level #7 Perfected Faith [James 2:21-22, 26]; Level #8 Strong Faith [Romans 4:18-20]; Level #9 Great Faith [Matthew 8:5-10]; Level #10 Rich Faith [James 2:5]; Level #11 Full of Faith [Acts 6:3-5; 11:22-24]; Level #12 Overcoming Faith [1 John 5:4-5; 4:4; Revelation 2:7; 11; 17; 26-28; 3:5; 12; 21], plus as a bonus, ...

In this powerful Abounding Love podcast, I begin a two-part series on the Twelve Levels of Faith from the KJV Bible. We'll cover six (6) levels in this episode. Level #1: No Faith [Deuteronomy 32:15-20; Mark 4:35-41]; Level #2: Little Faith [Matthew 6:30-33; 14:25-31]; Level #3: Weak Faith [Romans 4:19-22]; and Level #4: Shipwrecked Faith [1 Timothy 1:18-20]. These first four levels aren't any kind of faith worth having, Amen? Leve...

In this exciting Abounding Love episode, I share that we must believe in what Jesus Christ did in order to be saved. That is, believe that He came to seek and to save the lost [Luke 19:10], believe in His death, burial and resurrection, and our personal resurrection in Him. We share this Good News so others hearing it will also believe and gain all the benefits their belief in Christ secures for them. Belief means to trust in Jesus...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share how a lot of people don't know where "good works" fit in the Christian life. Some people believe they're saved by being good. Be good; you'll go to heaven. Don't be good enough; you'll go to hell. This thinking is false. We're not saved by what we do, but by what Jesus did. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest a...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share that Jesus brought spiritual and physical salvation through faith in His death, burial and resurrection. As prophesied by Isaiah, ". . . with his stripes we are healed" (53:4-5; Matthew 8:14-17; 1 Peter 2:24). We are liberated from sin, the flesh, the Devil and death. Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and tha...

In this Abounding Love episode, I share that Jesus didn't come to judge mankind, but ". . . to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10, NKJV). "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:17, NKJV). Most people don't believe solely in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for salvation. Without that belief; that faith; that Jesus die...

In this Abounding Love episode, I finish up this six (6) part series with "Steps to Your Ministry #6," on "Spending Time in Prayer." Although prayer is the last step in the series, it should be first and most important in our life. This is what the apostle Paul tells us: "Therefore I exhort first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men . . ." (1 Timothy 2:1, NKJV). When we put prayer ...
