Are you in a prison of a judgmental heart? What if you could free yourself and learn to live freely in the non-judgmental Kingdom of Jesus’ world? The key to unlock the door? Look in the mirror before judging.   

October 7, 2023 - The Hamas terrorist attack was Israel’s “911.”  I, Sam, a Christian, traveled with 14 Jews, none of whom I knew beforehand, but all of whom I came to love, to war-torn Israel on a “solidarity“ trip.  Join me as I relate my experiences with freed hostages, wounded soldiers, military officers and high ranking government officials, amidst earth-shaking artillery, and emotionally dra...

What if you could have a heart that never judges? A heart that is open, soft, free of negativity? Wouldn’t that be a wonderful to live.  Today you will see the ill effects of judging and how to start to free yourself from its prison.

When a couple is getting married the man typically thinks he is adding an addition to his house (i.e. his life). But the woman thinks, “We are going to have a whole house renovation for our new lives together.” When it comes to our walk with Jesus, we tend to think the same way as the man. But Jesus wants to renovate our whole lives, not just be added on as an addition.

Are there areas in your life that are holding you back from being your best self? You have tried to rid yourself of them, but they still have a mastery over you? How to free yourself? Guardrails! Today we explore why we need guardrails, where we might need them, and what they might look like.

What does how we treat our bodies and our minds have to do with getting closer to Jesus? Tune in to find out!

If Jesus has become a part of your life, you will look different than your previous self, and people will notice. Yes, you will be changed, and even more so you will be transformed. Have you been? Are you any different? Today, we ask and answer the questions that indicate change and even transformation!

To live the A+ Life Jesus wants for us, we want to “Bump our Trajectory.” Where and how to start? Start with just that one thing. Ridding yourself finally of that one thing that you know is not helpful, that is holding you back. Or perhaps adding that one thing you know is missing.

The times in our spiritual journey when we “bump our trajectory” always enhance our growth, as well as lead to a new richness in our lives. Today we talk about how to and what it looks like to bump your trajectory.

I am the luckiest person on the planet. I am. Can you say this?  And mean it? If not, I want to issue you a challenge: Why do you think you are not? Today we will look at a wonderful Hebrew word – Dayenu. It means “It would have been enough.”When we realize all the Lord has already done for us we will begin to live a life of gratitude– Dayenu!

Jesus tells us not to judge and then advises us to look in the mirror at ourselves before we even think about judging someone else. But before he gives us this advice, he warns us of the consequences of judging others: “You too will be judged.”

When I asked the men, “Do you have a problem with judging?” - one replied, “No, actually I am pretty good at it.” That about sums it up, doesn’t it? Jesus warns us: “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged ….” Who among us is comfortable being judged in the same way we judge others? 

When I read Jesus’ parable about the four soils in Matthew 13, I see four very distinct descriptions of the men and women we have encountered over the past twenty years of 721 Ministries. And it is often not pretty.

God designed our human experience to be in partnership with him. Do you … can you possibly… think of yourself as a partner with God Almighty?? Yes you can! Tune in to see why and how!

Do you ever think of yourself as in partnership with God and with Jesus? You may be surprised to learn that this is exactly the way God set up our role in this world: Not to be employees, but actual partners. What would it look like if you learned to live this way?

In Acts 15, we see Paul and Barnabas in sharp dispute with the Jerusalem Pharisee Christians, who insist that all new Gentile Christians must be circumcised. Paul blows up at this, and thus, the showdown we call The Jerusalem Council. Is baptism the new circumcision?

Do you love Jesus? Are you loyal to Jesus? And if so, how does this influence your day-to-day living?  When I am tempted to do what I should not do or not do what I should, I ask myself, “What would my gratitude, and my love and my loyalty to Jesus mean in this situation?”  The answer is always and immediately obvious.

“I think I will be okay when I stand before St Peter.” Have you ever uttered the above, perhaps with a nervous chuckle?  Can we do better than “I think … I hope?” Can we have confidence in a wonderful reception from the Lord our Day before him?  The answer is absolutely “Yes.”  But how, and if so, why?

As we seek to understand Our Part & God’s Part, can we “Be Still” and “Get Moving” at the same time? Yes! But how and what would that look like. To find out tune in!

Yes, we are saved by faith alone, but not a faith that is alone. (Augustine) What is our part and what is God’s part in any given situation? Do we act on our own, or can we always be led by the Holy Spirit? Can we actually tap into the Holy Spirit’s power in our work and play?  Tune in to find out.

What is the balance between God’s part in our lives, and our part? Do we sit in a closet and pray and expect God to work out all the details in our day-to-day lives, or are we responsible for those details? What is the balance, and how to know Tune in to find out!

Nehemiah tells us that against a known threat, they prayed for God to help them. But did they just pray and expect God to take care of all the details? No, they prayed, and they posted a guard. They asked God to do his part, but they also were proactive in doing their part.

Jesus tells us we will be pruned. But why would our loving Heavenly Father prune us? Why would he allow difficult things to come into our lives? Is it because he loves us … perfectly?

Do you live in a “Got to” world or a “Get to” world? Are you compelled by the love Jesus as shown you are controlled by your Self? Imagine how it would transform your spiritual life, as well as your day-to-day life, if you changed your perspective to “I get to” instead of “I got to.”

Jesus tells us we will be pruned. But why would our loving Heavenly Father prune us? Why would he allow difficult things to come into our lives? Is it because he loves us … perfectly?
