FABcast #500 - Be Angry at Kids and Do Not Sin by RBAR

Today my special guest is Alex Early, author of, "The Reckless Love of God." The startling truth about the love of God has lost its potency. It is not a passionless, theological idea. It is a real love that feels and even suffers. Whether you grew up in a Christian home and have forgotten this essential truth, or you never knew it in the first place, we all need to be reminded--and assured--that G...

Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. So true every time one of my children speaks gently as a response to my harshness. And then I feel overcome by that spirit of gentleness. So thankful for my children and their patience with me. Their forgiveness for my harshness.

The Last Supper 17On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” 18“As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with my disciples at your house.’” 19So the disciples did as Jesus told them...

1 One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. 4When he h...

FABcast #498 - Teaching Kids to Never Make What Doesnt Matter Most Matter More by RBAR

Made Alive by Citizens and Saints [Verse 1] I once was dead in sin, alone and hopeless A child of wrath I walked, condemned in darkness But Your mercy brought new life And in Your love and kindness Raised me up with Christ, and made me righteous [Chorus] You have bought me back With the riches of Your amazing grace and relentless love I'm made alive forever, with You, life forever By Your grace, I...

FABcast #497 - Gave a Random Kid a Ride by RBAR

Sermon given at Anchor Church in Virginia Beach. anchorchurchonline.org

Imaginative prayer uses scripture and our God-given imaginations to bring us into the presence of God. The purpose of this practice is to not only hear God’s word but to experience him. Imaginative prayer helps us to visualize a gospel story and worship God as he really is. John 13:1-17 (NIV) 1 It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and...

Reflecting on Tim Keller’s Book: Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work By RBAR I am amazed how God constantly shows me the theme of freedom in Christ. The point of Every Good Endeavor, by Tim Keller, is that the gospel of Jesus Christ sets the believer free finding identity in career or work. The freedom declared in Galatians 1:1 is applicable to the bondage of self-condemnation...

FABcast #490 - Stargazing with my Kids by RBAR

The first time I heard this concept of being fully known was from pastor Matt Chandler in a 12-part sermon series called "Recovering Redemption.” My plumber friend had introduced me to the concept a few years prior. But, it wasn't until after hearing the sermon series that the concept started to haunt me. That is, until I gave into the prompting of the Holy Spirit, trusted that Jesus was truly my...
