Wake Before the Day

Why should trials and hardships be considered a good thing? James 1 breaks it down for us and gives us practical steps to take in the midst of the difficult time. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In wrapping up Hebrews we discuss angels in disguise, living a life of praise and praying for a full equipping to do with will of God. Let's go! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

It's important to identify sin that is quick to ensnare and entertain. The remedy is to fix your eyes, thoughts and attention on Jesus. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

We receive the gift of faith from God and then are called to exercise our "faith muscle" even when our life and ministry appear "fruitless"! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Some of us need to take Jesus' forgiveness seriously and forgive ourselves. Others of us need to take our sin more seriously. Which are you? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Jesus offers the forgiveness of sins and to cleanse our conscience. Has this been your experience? Let's discuss. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

So Jesus is greater than ... Moses, angels, the high priest ... the list goes on and on. What's the big deal? Jesus' kingdom and way of life is different and greater than anything humanity had ever known. God's law isn't on a stone tablet anymore it's on the believer's heart. It's not something we take off and put on, he's forever with us. @klarckorver @bobb...

Jesus is unchanging which means the path to salvation and salvation itself are also unchanging! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Today we respond to a question that has been asked for a very long time, "Can a believer lose their salvation?" Let's interpret the Bible with the Bible as we address some seemingly difficult verses. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Jesus, being fully God, was more human than most give him credit for. What does it mean that Jesus "learned obedience"?  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The Sabbath rest is a gift given to the people of God that rests in the work of Jesus and gives us a glimpse of heaven! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Let's discuss how we can "fix our eyes on Jesus". @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Do you know how you drift? By not doing anything! God calls us to "tend to" the faith by actively following Jesus! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Hebrews 1 makes one thing very clear, Jesus is God and is to be treated as such. The author uses the Old Testament to describe Christ and his Kingdom. In the description we're told the Lord loves righteousness and hates wickedness. How does our love/hate list compare to God's? What adjectives would you use to describe Jesus? Let's dive in! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles w...

Unpack Ruth 4 and understand the beauty of Old Testament law, the kinsmen-redeemer and the crazy sandal slapping! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie for a few podcasts on the book of Ruth. While it may be small and short it's impact on our understanding of God's grace and the coming of Jesus is great! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The last podcast on the book of Acts! Paul finished strong and committed his life and ministry to Jesus all the way to the end. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Acts 27 is a jam packed chapter dealing with Paul as he sails stormy seas headed to Rome. Here is a takeaway from this chapter. The first is don't minimize the journey you're on. Often we're focused on the destination but God is with you on the journey. He speaks. We're to be obedient and listen even when it doesn't make sense! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www...

We have a responsibility to speak of Jesus. Don't minimize a small conversation nor should we get overwhelmed with the stage! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The evil one uses sin to form accusations against God's people. The good news is Jesus is our defender and vindicator.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In Acts 24 Paul is on his way to Rome and continues to have high-stakes conversations regarding Jesus and salvation. In this chapter Paul has a conversation with a leader named Felix. Felix makes a subtle but relevant statement, "I'll listen to you when it's convenient for me". How often do I follow God only because it's convenient? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangele...

Let's talk about the significance of "place" and God's redemption. 20 years later, Paul stood where Stephen once stood. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In Acts 22 Paul shares the Gospel by sharing his story. We've all heard "the power of story" and for the christian our story becomes especially powerful when we acknowledge our inability and God's ability.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

There is power in story and let's unpack the importance of loving the existing church while welcoming the newcomer. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Devotion: strong love and loyalty; the use of time, money and energy for a specific purpose. The word "devotion" isn't used much in this chapter but this is what we see. Paul continues to lay in all on the line, speaking truth to "opponents", spending time in jail, traveling to far off cities, why? Because he's a devoted follower of Jesus. How devoted are we as follow...
