In the Lord’s Prayer we ask, “Your will be done.” But how would we know if what we hear is indeed God’s will – or our own?  Or worse, Satan deceiving us? Can we know and discern God’s will?  Does he still communicate to us individually about such matters? Yes and Yes!  Stay tuned to find out!

As we look around our world and see the poverty, the wars, the disease and crime, we have to wonder, “Is this the will of God?”  If it is, he is either not a good God, or he is not and all-powerful God?  But is there a better explanation  Yes!  Tune it to find out.

This is a 3 part series (Part 1) Relationships are the currency of life. When they are balanced and thriving, we can live the “Life to the Full” Jesus wants for us.  The most important are relationship first with Jesus, then with our spouse and children.  But when they are either absent, strained or lukewarm, so is our life.  Rich relationships equal a rich life!

When we pray for God’s will to be done, do we have any idea that for which we are asking?  Do you actually want to give up your free will, or do you still prefer your will, your way?  Perhaps you’d like some balance of your will and his will.  But what if you could see that his will is always “good, pleasing and perfect?” (Romans 12:1-2). Tune in to find out

Today we take look at the symbiotic relationship between “Our Father in the heavens” and “Your kingdom come.” Our Father is in the heavens, which means he is all around us – we live in a God-saturated world. So why do we need to pray, “Your kingdom come,” if he is already all around us? Tune in to find out!

When Jesus says, “Your Kingdom come,” he is saying a mouthful!  Can the Father’s Kingdom come when I am on my throne – the king (or queen) of my castle? Perhaps this is why Jesus said,  “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money … or Self .”  Matthew 6:24   Tune in to f...

Today we begin a journey into a better understanding of the prayer Jesus gave to his disciples, and by extension, to us. We call this, The Lord’s Prayer. It is more accurate to say, The Disciple’s Prayer. Jesus gave this to them and to us to use as a model to follow.

Would it be helpful to take a measure of where you are in your spiritual journey You may think you are doing well as a Christian, but perhaps you are fooling yourself. Today we complete our Spiritual Inventory.  The full inventory is below, should you be brave enough to take it. Or perhaps I should say, “If you are serious about going deeper into the Kingdom.”    Tune in!

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24). I contemplate this passage often, and often think to myself, “What kind of idiot would proactively ask God to inspect him or herself like this?”  But I have learned that this inspection will assist me in my introspection. Someth...

In this episode we look back over the past 15 years and where God has led us over the years.  We look at some of the highlights and milestones that we have experienced….including the starting of the weekly radio show 721Live.

In this episode we look at the Christmas story, but with an eye toward the Beatitudes that we have been working through for the past several episodes.  We look at the Christmas story in chronological order with an eye toward responding in faith vs. reacting in fear.

We continue to look at four questions regarding prayer: 1-Can I pray for my own good?    2-Can I wear God down to get what I want?   3-What if God granted my prayer requests?   4-What would be the Ultimate Prayer Request?

We’re in the second question about prayer:  Can We Wear God Done?  Can we keep asking God for our request and wear Him done?  Can we over ask God in our prayers?

We continue our series on Prayer.  We look at four questions….the first one is can I pray for my own Good?  If so, how and what can I pray for?

In this episode we continue in our study of prayer and look at how blessed we are.  Do we remember all the things that God has done for us?

Do you find yourself criticizing and complaining from time to time? Perhaps more often than not?  When we do this, it is a sure sign that we have lost our focus on just how blessed we are – no matter what is happening in our life.  Today’s lesson is an exercise in remembering. Remembering all the many blessings we already have, being aware of just how bad things could be, and remembering the praye...

Jesus tells us all we need to move mountains is mustard seed faith.  But how much faith is that?  Have you ever doubted that your own level of faith was strong enough to move mountains?  Have you ever hesitated to go to your Heavenly Father because you knew – and you knew he knew – you had too much doubt?  Today we answer the question: “How much faith?’

In this episode we continue to look at prayer.  Are you confident with how you pray? How does Jesus teach us to pray?   How do we bring our request to God ?

How should you pray?  Is there a “right” way to pray?  In this episode we continue looking at prayer and what Jesus has to say about praying.

If you could ask God for two things, what would you ask for?  What would the two most important prayer requests be?  Jesus says, everyone who ask, receives.  So how does your two request stack up?

When do you thank God for answered prayers?  Don’t most of us thank him after we see his answers? (Assuming he answers the way we wanted him to). But that was not Jesus’ model of prayer. Jesus thanked his Father before he saw his response.  Tune in to see how and why we want to emulate Jesus’ prayer

Today we launch a multi-week look at Prayer.  Are you confident in your prayer life?   Are you comfortable with your prayer life?  What does Jesus have to say about prayer?  Join us as we dive into this oft-times vague, perplexing, and confusing aspect of following Jesus

Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate.”  On my journey with Jesus he has led me through several narrow gates.  What does he mean by this narrow gate idea – and what might this look like in our lives?
