A Heart after God Bible Teaching Ministry with Pastor Brad Abley

People become hypocrites because they want to impress people. But if they were more concerned about truly knowing God and pleasing Him, they would be free from hypocrisy. Understand more on this topic as Jesus teaches about what's truly important in life!

An urgent, in-depth study of why Jesus spoke so directly about hypocrisy -- and how we can keep ourselves from falling into it.

It's understandable why many Christians today are crying out for revival. But the Church of Jesus needs something far more important -- and lasting; we need a new Reformation. We need a reformation of careful adherence to the Word of God; we need reverence for Him and for His Word. In fact, the Church in America has strayed badly from Scripture. Jesus has much to say about this, but will we heed H...

The only way to examine how we're doing in the Christian faith today is to peer intently into God's Word and allow it to be a mirror to us. It shocks me that so many Christian leaders seem to do this, and the result is that the Church of Jesus gets a bad name in some circles. Let's give our full attention to Jesus and His teaching about the grave dangers of the religion of the Pharisees.

One of the worst words to describe anyone in any language is the word “hypocrite.” A hypocrite is someone who wants you to think that person is someone he isn’t. What is a religious hypocrite? Why did Jesus warn His disciples so frequently against hypocrisy? Why did He rebuke the scribes and the Pharisees -- the religious leaders of Israel -- so often for their hypocrisy? What relevance does this...

How subtle, how insidious legalism is! It can seep into our hearts through those who preach the Word and it can seep into our hearts through our own neglect! What is legalism? How can we prevent it? Jesus answers these questions for us in this passage. Take a listen and share it with others!

An urgent study from Jesus about the importance of what you let into your heart -- for good or for ill.

An insight into the awesome power and redemption of Jesus the Messiah and God the Son!

Why did Jesus invest so much of His ministry in the casting out of demons? What does this say about Him and His love for humanity? What does all this mean for you? Listen and find out, and be changed by the Holy Spirit and His Word!

There is a remarkable promise Jesus offers to all believers that not all believers ask for. But if Jesus offers such a promise -- though we have to ask the Father for this -- why would we not ask Him? Find out, in this message!

Perseverance in prayer isn't always easy, but it is always necessary. And perseverance in prayer is more important than we imagine. Find out why in this episode from the teaching of Jesus!

There is no better pattern or teaching on prayer better than the Lord's Prayer. As we conclude our study from the masterful teaching of Jesus from Luke 11, our focus will be on forgiveness and spiritual warfare. You are sure to learn something new and vital from Him!

Without question, one of the most urgent matters for anyone is the issue of forgiveness -- specifically knowing and practicing forgiveness toward others when we're hurt, offended, or sinned against. If we refuse to forgive, we're the ones who will pay a heavy price -- internally and externally. Do you know how to forgive? Do you regularly practice forgiveness? This message will help you in these a...

Prayer is a major subject throughout the entire Bible; God places the highest premium on it, and Jesus gives the master teaching -- the greatest teaching ever -- on prayer. The wonderful thing about prayer is that we can never "master" it -- but we can always grow in it!

John Wesley declared, "God does nothing on earth, except in response to believing prayer." William Cowper wrote, "And Satan trembles when he sees, the weakest saint upon his knees." Beloved, prayers prayed in faith rise as incense before God and are placed in golden bowls -- where they are then used with incredible power and results (cf. Rev. 5:8-9). See with me in this message why your praying ha...

I have the conviction from Scripture that prayer is by far one of the greatest gifts that God has ever given to people -- especially to believers in Jesus. Friend, do you matter to God? Does He want to hear from you and relate to you? Does your praying count? Do your prayers matter to Him and influence the world? We're going to answer these questions in today's message -- intended to equip you to...

In Mark's account of Jesus' teaching on the Parable of the Sower, Jesus essentially tells His disciples that the Parable of the Sower is the most important parable of all His parables (it's been estimated that one-third of His teaching was done in parables). In this message, I believe you'll understand just how vital this parable is, and why the devil often takes the Word of God far more seriously...

So much of the Bible teaches us how to pray -- in an incredible variety of ways! But for the best pattern of prayer, we need look no further than the teaching of Jesus on prayer.  And of course; He is the Master of Prayer! Beloved, come with an eager, open heart to the Lord and His Word and learn the joy of prayer from Him!

What I like to call the Lord's Pattern of Prayer is deep, stirring, and inspiring. It's brilliant -- but of course it is; it's Jesus teaching on prayer. Because prayer is so vital to life, please don't miss this opportunity to learn more and to grow in prayer!

This is an absolutely amazing, riveting study from Luke's gospel about Mary's approach to Jesus, right in front of her sister, Martha. What lessons to be learned! How rewarding the Word of God is!

This is the second message in a new series I'm doing for FM, KBS Broadcasting in the Kamuli region of Uganda each Friday night. The series will seek to more deeply ground the Church there -- and here -- in the truth of Scripture. It begins with the most important and rewarding subject of all: knowing God. Easter Message

This is the first message in a new series I'm doing for FM, KBS Broadcasting in the Kamuli region of Uganda each Friday night, with a listenership of more than 700,000 people for each message, with many salvations and testimonies of God at work in the lives of the people through the broadcasts. The series will seek to more deeply ground the Church there -- and here -- in the truth of Scripture.

Sorry for the provocative title! But it is true; I invite you to take a careful examination of this vital parable, and I can assure you this is not some different or weird interpretation, but rather an insight into the proper context of the parable.
