Happy Hanukkah my friends! I can imagine that my saying that might make some of my Christian friends a bit uncomfortable. We would easily greet each other by saying Merry Christmas, but how many of us will include the Jewish holiday that corresponds with Christmas? Come along with me in this weeks podcast as we look at the value Christians can discover in the Jewish feasts and festivals along with celebrating the normal Christian h...

If you were God, how would you have introduced Jesus, the Messiah, Your Son to this world? I don’t think most of us would have done it the way that God did it on that very first Christmas. We might have orchestrated a large scale dramatic production to introduce the most important person in history. I would have put all of the glory and splendor of heaven on display that would have made Hollywood pale in comparison. But that is not...

Do you want the devil to flee? This promise that he will flee isn’t automatic; it is conditional on our submission and resistance. In today’s podcast, we are going to highlight one of the scriptures that the devil, our enemy, hates.  These are more than nice words; these are weapons of warfare against him and his minions.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We all know this verse out of Hebrews 11, but what is faith? Is faith a feeling that motivates us to live a certain way? Or does faith come from hearing and hearing through the Word of God? Or is faith a gift given to us by God? What if the answer to each of these questions is YES! In this weeks podcast I want to explore the topic of faith as an attempt to help each of us become more co...

Have you seen those leadership pyramids where the leader is at the top and all of the followers or employees are beneath the leader? That is the way much, if not all of corporate America is designed. It is also the way much of the Church is operated. It is also the way many marriages are run. What if that pyramid is not the way Jesus would run things? What if Jesus would turn that pyramid totally upside down? In this podcast I want...

Would you fight two warriors at the same time? Would you go into a pit during a snow storm and fight a lion? Would you take a huge warriors spear and fight him with his own spear? I would have to answer NO to all of those questions. Yet one of my favorite people in the bible did just that. In this podcast we are going to look at the bravery of Benaiah and hopefully inspire each of us with his story.

I’m sure you have heard the phrase in church about having Wholehearted Devotion to Jesus. I heard it again this week at church and I found myself agreeing with it, yet not being sure what it means and how to do that. Our hearts are so divided between our family and friends, our hobbies and our desires. Then you throw in verses like Psalms 86:11 that says to “Unite my heart to fear Your name.” How can we say with all integrity that ...

People all around the world know the emergency phone number for their country. It is 911 for those of us in North America, I believe it is 999 in the UK, and 112 in Europe. We know that you only dial those numbers when you need emergency services like an ambulance, or the police, or the fire department. Unfortunately many people have a 911 relationship with Jesus. They only call on Him when they are in an emergency. Yes, Jesus will...

A sinkhole does not start out as a huge hole in the ground. It starts with a bit of erosion of the foundation underneath that over time, causes the surface to finally sink. Our faith can also be eroded, not usually by the big issue of life, but by having our foundation erode over time. In this podcast, we will talk about the erosion that can happen and how to Restore your Foundation so a sinkhole does not occur in your life.    To ...

Have you ever thought about firing your parents? I remember a season in my life when I realized that I might never get my father’s approval, and I emotionally fired him. Oh, I still lived under his roof until I got married, but I quit looking to him for approval. In other words, I began to live my life as an Orphan. In this podcast, and in the next podcast, we are going to look at a very common stronghold that is probably affecting...
