So many prophecies were fulfilled with the birth of Jesus, the promised Messiah. At the moment of God's perfect timing, Jesus came. Before His ascension into heaven, Jesus tells us that He will come again. Countless prophecies speak of this second coming and Jesus tells us in the book of Revelation, "Behold, I am coming soon!" We can be sure that at the perfect timing, Jesus will come back as our...

Daniel, Isaiah, and repentance, oh my! Let's get ready for Christmas this week by getting our hearts in the right place. 

The Bible shows us that we can have confidence that God is with us and working all things for our good even when life feels chaotic. As we walk through a season that has thrown some curve balls our way, we hope the daily reminders God has been giving us through our time in the Bible are as encouraging to you as they have been to us. 

We can all understand that compromise in our walk of faith is not a good thing. But in the moment of decision, compromise often feels so small and inconsequential. Yet we must realize there is a very serious, unseen danger to compromise. This is a critical topic every Christian needs to hear.

One day we are feeling great and full of joy. Then the very next day arrives and we find ourselves dealing with discouragement, defeat, and frustration. As Christians, how can we avoid this day-to-day roller coaster ride? How do we live in a consistent place of gladness, contentment, and peace? On today's episode, we take a look at the knockout punch to life's discouragement.

The nation is divided and, even more concerning, so is the Christian Church in America. As the body of Christ, we must unite. So how are we going to do it? What needs to be done to bring us together once again?

Head knowledge can only get you so far. There is a point where you have to begin putting what you've learned into practice in real life. This is true in our faith as well. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to know God's Word, but also to live it out. This is much easier said than done. So how do we do this and what can we expect as a result? 

Are you feeling tempted to give up? Are you struggling to keep pressing on in the things God has called you to do? Are you worried that victory is never coming? Don't give up. Press on! What you are doing matters and God's Word is full of the truths we need to stay the course.

Israel was chosen out of all the nations of the world to be God's special possession. He was their God and they were His people. And yet, we see them continually turn away from Him and follow the idolatry of the people around them. So God, through the prophet Ezekiel, addresses their unfaithfulness to Him. This a heartbreaking account that is reminiscent of another story I think you will find fami...

As Christians living in a sexually crazed culture, it's important we understand that sex is actually God's creation! It is a good, beautiful blessing to be shared by a husband and wife! As sinful humans in a broken world, God's awesome gift often becomes skewed, broken and dirty. How do we fight for God's design and take back the amazing blessing of sex in our marriages?

Our natural tendency is to focus on ourselves. The messages of the world only serve to add to our self-centered mindset. Yet we were made to worship something much greater than ourselves. We were made to praise and glorify our amazing God. Join us as we discuss the joy of worship and ways to develop a life focused on glorifying God.

It is not good to be malnourished. Yet the reality is that much of the Christian Church in America is exactly that. We are hungry and our lives show it. So what exactly are we talking about and what is the nourishment Christians need so badly?

So what do you think about? What thoughts, desires, hopes, and dreams flood your mind each day? What we think about is a strong driving factor of the actions of our lives, so there is no more critical topic to discuss today than what is filling our minds.

Our words have incredible power. They can speak life-giving hope that builds others up, or destructive and hurtful barbs that wound a person for far too long. How do we control our tongues and why is this so critical as Christians? Join us as we discuss how we can be people that speak life to others.

Throughout history, young people have played pivotal roles in it. Kids are capable of so much more than we realize. God has wonderfully created them with a specific purpose. The kids sitting around your dining table tonight will impact the world they live in. So, Christian parents, what are we doing to encourage and equip them as the next generation of history makers?

Jesus declares that He is both the bread of life and living water. In Him, we no longer need to hunger or thirst for righteousness because it is ours through faith. What an incredible gift! Yet Christians, Jesus is even more than that. He is everything. When we understand this incredible truth, we can live life fully satisfied.

The time is now. No more being disheartened by the state of the culture. No more feeling hopeless and discouraged. No more being driven by fear and doubt. We have everything we need. Let's heed the words of Jesus, "As the father has sent me, I am sending you." It's go time! 

Christians, we are called by God to be holy and set apart. How are we doing? Is our faith shining as a light into the darkness or has it dimmed as we are easily ensnared by the sins of the world? Sometimes the hardest thing to hear is the truth, but love compels believers to not keep silent. Have we conformed?
