I’m sure you’ve heard someone say, "I don’t want to go to church because there are too many hypocrites there." Unfortunately, that statement is valid. Jesus defines hypocrisy as someone who loves to point out the sins and shortcomings of others, but refuses to make himself righteous before God. Let’s reverse that and focus more on getting rid of our own sins and then help our brothers and sisters...

What a difficult thing Jesus has commanded us – Love your enemies! Jesus tells us to be generous because the Father in heaven has been generous to us. When we show generosity and love, we show the world the love of God. When you realize that you have some sort of enemy, it is your opportunity to show the love of God. The Father will use that difficult situation to mature your faith and obedience....

We discuss the contrast between worldly material gains and the true blessedness of eternal life with God in heaven. We can have fellowship with God now. Fellowship with God is the greatest blessing. Don't be so concerned with material gain that you miss Jesus Christ, the only one who gives eternal life. Luke 6:20-26 20  And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you wh...

We discuss the importance of spending time with Jesus every day. Remaining in prayer and in the Word will keep us pure through temptation. Do not be surprised by the temptations of the evil one. We can overcome in the strength of Jesus! "How can a young man keep his way pure?  By guarding it according to your word." - Psalm 119:9. Hosts: Richard Kennedy & Robert Harmon Music by FASSounds...

The night before Jesus chose his twelve apostles, he stayed up all night praying. Jesus knew the magnitude of the day before him. Let's follow Jesus' example and seek God in prayer often, especially when we know a big decision is before us!

We continue the discussion on legalism. The Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments. God gave the Sabbath as a blessing to people and told them to keep the day "holy" and to "not do any work." The Pharisees missed the point. Jesus healed a man's hand (a holy moment), and the Pharisees plotted to kill Jesus because of it. I guess the Pharisees forgot that one of the other of the 10 commandments was t...

Jesus did not come to establish a new set of rules or legalism. His mission was to offer forgiveness of sin and invite us into his Kingdom. Unlike the Pharisees who believed that following strict rules would make them righteous before God, Jesus' blood is the only thing that can make us righteous before God. Therefore, we should be cautious not to judge ourselves or others in a legalistic manner t...

Have you ever really wondered what sin is? We discuss what sin and forgiveness are. Jesus tells the paralyzed man (whom they let in from the roof) that his sins were forgiven and then Jesus healed his body. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, he has forgiven you.

Jesus Series •    In contrast to the religious folk from Luke 4 who were fans of Jesus at first but then rejected and tried to kill him, the folks in Luke 5 received Jesus' teaching. Simon Peter acknowledged Jesus as Lord and the disciples FOLLOWED Jesus. Jesus is worth following. Hosts: Richard Kennedy and Robert Harmon Music by FASSounds at pixabay.com Hosted on Acast.

Do you know what is your mission? Like Paul, God will give you strength and contentment to carry out God’s will for your life. Show your trust in God’s provision by being generous with your finances. God will surely take care of you. Host: Richard Kennedy Music by FASSounds at pixabay.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most of the time, we tend to be concerned mostly for our own interests. We are encouraged by the example of Timothy and Epaphroditus to have genuine concern for the needs of others and the will of Jesus. We must work hard to train ourselves to seek and submit to the will of Jesus. Just like Jesus did the will of the Father, so should we. On this episode: Timothy Horton, Robert Harmon, Richard Kenn...

In Philippians 2:1-11, we are encouraged to not only care for our interests but also care for others. We are even told to consider others better than ourselves! What a statement! In the church, this is the secret to relational unity - treating others with kindness and care. Music by FASSounds at pixabay.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
