Christianityworks with Berni Dymet

Doesn’t matter who we are or where we’re at, it’s so easy to come to the conclusion that we could never possibly be close to God. Other - yes. Us - no. We might yearn for that sort of closeness, but we could never experience it. Join Berni Dymet, this week on Christianityworks as he opens God’s Word to discover that God has a different plan.

I’m not quite sure how many years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes or seconds you have left before you breathe your last breath here on this earth. But let’s assume that it’s a finite period (because actually it is!). So here’s a question for you today. How are you going to spend that finite time? What’s your purpose in being, for the rest of your days here on thi...

Most people on planet earth look at things and ask themselves, 'So, what’s in it for me?' That’s the way we tend to evaluate our options. There’s just one small problem though with living life that way: It simply doesn’t work. - Join Berni Dymet as he opens God’s Word to take a look at the year ahead ? your year ahead ? through the eyes of God.

Have you ever wondered how life begins? Science has come such a long way in helping us understand our bodies, even our minds, but the one thing it can’t explain is how a new life begins. How did that first person come to life? That’s something science simply cannot answer. - Join Berni Dymet as he opens God’s Word to take a look at the year ahead ? your year ahead ? through the e...

The whole idea of celebrating the beginning of a new year is that there’s a sense of ? well ? it’s out with the old and in with the new, and yet so many of us struggle to let go of the past. Well, I believe that God has something new for you this year: Not just one thing, but lots of things. - Join Berni Dymet as he opens God’s Word to take a look at the year ahead ? your year ah...

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like, to have been there on that very first Christmas, when Jesus was born into this world? In one sense, it would have been very ordinary. A little village, Bethlehem. People all over the place. Business as usual. But in another sense ? it would have been totally, mind-blowingly, gobsmackingly amazing! - Join Berni Dymet as he explores the story of C...

Have you ever felt like your life has been taken over by events outside your control? It’s something that people can feel quite strongly, heading into Christmas, as other people seem to be getting ready to celebrate. Well, if you’re in that place, where events beyond your control have taken over your life, you’re not the only one. - Join Berni Dymet as he explores the story of Ch...

Have you’ve ever thought of this... On the surface, the whole idea of Christmas was crazy! I mean, what exactly was God thinking by sending His Son to become a man ? and then to be born in some drafty, smelly shed out the back of Bethlehem?

You know the saying: 'no man is an island'. None of us can go it alone. We all need help, wise counsel, a bit of muscle from time to time. The question is, who or what do you turn to, to get that help when you need it? When it comes to getting help, sometimes, we do the craziest things.

The mistake that many of God’s people make, is that they think that their relationships with other people can fill the deep void within, a void that’s been designed so that it can only be filled by God Himself. And so they spend their lives getting second best, when all along, God’s very best is staring them right in the face. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens Go...

Today we’re introduced to two Bible characters, that show us how easily you can fall into idolatry. How easily we can turn our backs on God, and then tell ourselves that what we’re doing is just fine. These two people are like mirrors of who we are, and how stupidly we sometimes behave.

So many things in this world seem to turn out to be imposters. They promise so much, they look so good, but when you finally sacrifice everything to get that one thing - whatever it happens to be, it almost always disappoints. Have you ever wondered why that is?

One of the reason that so many people are so exhausted with life, is that they’re carrying the heavy burden of worry, around on their shoulders. I wonder ? if you know anyone like that. You can’t enjoy life, you can’t find the rest you so desperately need, when you’re carrying around the worries of the world. You just can’t! Support the show: https://christianityworks...

So many people are struggling to get enough rest in their lives. One of the reasons for that, is that we think we can burn the candle at both ends, we think we can do it our way. But ? God made us. He knows us. Maybe we need to try, His way. Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/cw/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many people in this world are so ? tired. Exhausted. And it doesn’t matter how clever you are, how emotionally resilient you are, how strong you are ? when you’re tired, you’re just not functioning at your best.

Suffering isn’t a subject most of us like to talk about, or even think about, but suffering is a reality in life. And right in the middle of that not so pleasant reality, I have some good news for you today. Your God wants you to have victory, right in the middle of your suffering.

Many who call themselves 'Christians' are not, in fact, living the life of victory that Jesus came to give them. Somehow, the promise of victory isn’t happening in their lives. Something has to change. Not next year, not next month, not next week ? now! Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/cw/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All too often, God’s people ? who we’re told are meant to be more than conquerors ? lie bloodied and beaten on the spiritual battlefield we call life. What they need is power, but they just can’t seem to find it. Well what if I told you that God has already provided you with all the power you need?

Life is something of a spiritual battlefield and when we’re in the thick of things, it’s so important for us to know what side we’re on. Each one of us has a new identity in Christ, but how many of us know that deep in our hearts, in the heat of the spiritual battle we call life?

The Bible has something incredibly exciting to say about the purpose of God’s grace in your life. Not just the fact that God’s grace is amazing, which of course it is. But it also has a purpose. And that purpose is to take you on the path of freedom. Real freedom. Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/cw/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
