721 Live Talk Radio

Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount with both an encouragement and a warning: “Are you trying to build your life on a rock-solid foundation or have you unwittingly built it on the shifting sands of this culture?

The name of our ministry, 721 Ministries, comes from Jesus’ warning – stark warning – to those who think their good church and civic work is a ticket to heaven. But there will be no resumes on your Judgement Day. Tune in to find out why our ministry is named after this passage!

Jesus warns us to “Watch out for false prophets.” But what would a false prophet look like today? Would they be preaching heretical sermons … or lukewarm … or just uninformed?

Jesus tells us the gate to his wonderful A+ Life to the Full is narrow. And he warns us that the road that leads to a sorrow life is wide and broad. What is on the broad road that makes it so appealing, and why is the gate to  “The Life that is truly life” so narrow?

Did you know that Jesus’ Golden Rule was a reversal of the centuries-old Golden Rule? Previously if was, “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you.”  Jesus told us to go from defense to offense by doing to others what we want them to do to and for us.

What comes to your mind when you think of God? In your mind, is he a “Bread and Water” God or a God of lavish gifts and love?  Is he a happy God? Was Jesus a happy man?

When you lose your site, how do you go forward?  And, how does faith play a part in that path forward?  Sam Interviews with Brain Kadien, host of The Blind Samurai Podcast. Take a listen.

When Jesus says, “Ask and you will receive,” is this a carte blanche guarantee?  Or is he assuming his audience would understand a more nuanced meaning?  And – is ‘asking’ what prayer is all about?

What compelled Charlie to do what he did?  Was there something he wanted the college age youth of America to know that he knew they didn’t know – understand correctly?

In our previous video, we examined “What is most important?” from a day-to-day perspective – and created Index cards to guide us. This week we examine “WMI?” from an eternal perspective – with index cards!

If the phrase, “Saying ‘Yes’ to anything means saying ‘No’ to something or someone else, ” is true, where have you said “Yes” to some activity that you now regret? What do you now see that got squeezed out because you said “Yes”? For example:  exercise, time with Jesus, time with your family??

If relationships are the currency of life, then right relationships with your God, with others, and with yourself, are essential for the A+ Life. So, if your relationships aren't an A+, how do you restore them to an A+?

Jesus said he came to give us “Life to the full.” The Holy Spirit, through Paul, talks about “the life that is truly life.”  We call it, “The A+ Life.”  But what does this life look like – and how to know if I am even close to living it?

Jesus said he came to give us “Life to the full.” The Holy Spirit, through Paul, talks about “the life that is truly life.”  We call it,  “The A+ Life.”  But what does this life look like – and how to know if I am even close to living it?

Did you know the Hebrew word for “hear” is the same word as “obey”? Jesus asked many times, “Are you listening with your heart as well as your head? Is what I am saying sinking in? Is it making a difference in your life?” How would you answer Jesus if he asked you the same questions?

Jesus gave us several very clear messages, the most important of which is “I am coming back.” Will you be ready for his return? And is there a 7 year tribulation and 1000 year aspect to his return? I say no, there is not. Tune in to find out more!

As we approach and prepare for Easter, we take a look at everything Easter. What is Easter?  Is it about the crucifixion and death of Jesus or the resurrection of Jesus?  What is our preparation for Easter?  In these next 3 episodes, we dive into the events and details that lead us to Easter. 

Imagine you have someone in your group – be it business, social or Bible Study - who is openly defying the rules and mores of the group. Unapologetically and unremorseful. How would you handle it? Today we look at how the Apostle Paul handled just such a dicey situation in Corinth: Tough love then soft love.

Even though Jesus admonishes us not to judge others, he does ask us to “help them take the speck out of their eye.” How do we reach out to someone to help them see their blind spot? With lots of grace, sprinkled with the truth.

Who was the worst dad in the Older Testament? In our last episode, we looked at the best dad in the New Testament- the father in Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Dad.   Today we contrast the best with the worst.

In this episode, we relook at the parable of the prodigal son and focus on who it may really be about....the dad?  We look at it from a different perspective as we continue in our series on judging.
