Words of Life with Pat Murphy

Sometimes, this world can make you feel like you don't belong.  Well, thanks be to God!  Through faith in Jesus Christ there is very much a place where we DO belong -- every single one of us!

We've all said "Life is short," but what we actually MEAN by that will determine if we will live "selfishly" in FEAR, or "selflessly" in FAITH!

We continue our look at the letter of 1st Peter with some reminders of the importance of faith.

As Pat begins a series on the letter of 1st Peter, he finds himself having to dig out of a big, "rabbit hole" in only the first two verses!  

Pat concludes this series on the letter to the Colossian Church with some closing words from Paul.  (And these are great closing words for US, too!)

We conclude our look at what the best-dressed Christian needs to be wearing from Colossians Chapter 3, in this episode called; "Dressed To Kill - Part Two!"

Pat is calling this episode; "Dressed To Kill - Part One."  In Colossians, Chapter 3, we read of this "putting off" of our old nature, and "clothing ourselves" with our new nature in Christ.  (What the best-dressed Christian needs to be wearing!)

There is not only "Power in the Blood," as the old hymn says, but there is also FREEDOM in the cross of Jesus!

Most Christians use their church's "Statement of Faith" to determine who they can have fellowship with, but the Bible doesn't actually teach that.  We'll find out, in Colossians, Chapter 2, that we should find our unity in something far "higher!"  

As we continue our look at the letter to the Colossians, we'll unpack some incredible statements made about Jesus!

In this episode, Pat begins a series on Paul's letter to the Colossians and how we now walk in the fullness of Christ.  In this first message, we'll see how we can live as the children of light.

Pat concludes this series with Another "Story We Love," and this time, it's Part TWO; The Story of the Woman Caught in Adultery, from John, Chapter 8.

Pat starts a "series within a series!"  For this program, it's "A Story We Love - Part ONE."  The story of "The Prodigal Son" from Luke 15.

Back in the day, a muffler repair shop called "Speedy Muffler King" had a slogan; "At Speedy, You're a Somebody!"  Well, God specializes in turning "nobodies" into "somebodies!" 

Pat calls this one; "Songs From the 40's!"  (Not the "Big Band Era of the 1940's!), but rather, a look at some healing words from Psalm 40 and Isaiah 40.

Sometimes, some of the most "healing" words appear in the introductions to some of the New Testament letters.  Pat calls this episode; "Grace, Mercy and Peace To You!"

In this, (our 100th show!), Pat continues focusing on some "healing" words, including some "Great Invitations" from God the Son and God the Father.

Pat begins a new series, focusing on some "healing" passages; those that bring us some peace and hope.  And for this time, we begin with some thoughts on Psalm 23.

Pat shares some well-known stories from the life of the Apostle Peter to remind us that no matter how far we may think we have fallen, Jesus is willing and able to pick us back up!

As we reach the final 7th Letter to the churches in Revlation, Pat shares some thoughts on the congregation in Laodicea.  (A famous city, with an infamous Christian Church!)

As Pat continues looking at the "letters in red" dictated by Jesus to John and spoken to the seven churches in Revelation, he shares some thoughts on some very powerful and positive words given to the church in Philadelphia.

Pat finishes off this "two-parter" on the letter to the church in Sardis, spoken to John by Jesus in Revelation 3.  And some more reasons to "wake up!" 

Pat continues looking at the "letters in red" dictated by Jesus to John, and spoken AFTER his resurrection to the seven churches in Revelation.  Some harsh words in this letter to the church at Thyatira, but words we need to heed today!

Pat continues looking at the "letters in red" dictated by Jesus to John and spoken AFTER his resurrection to the seven churches in Revelation.  This time, we'll begin a "two-parter" on the letter to the church in Sardis. 

As Pat continues looking at the "letters in red," he begins a focus on the words that Jesus said AFTER his resurrection, to the seven churches in Revelation.  This episode looks at the words to the church in Ephesus.
