Go Into All The World

Believers know the story of David and Goliath. David defeated Goliath, a great victory. But what brought David to the Battle? A spiritual call? A Word? A leader asking him to come? No, none of these. Gary shares from scripture how or why David came to the Battle. Gary relates that to the many recent testimonies where God used a non-spiritual activity to do great things. All believers need to seek...

Gary reviews items from two previous programs. First, he encourages all to study angels and the Holy Spirit, and how they can assist and guide a believer. He gives two testimonies where angels intervened in his life, one of which was in a tennis court during practice. He mentions some takeaways from last week's program where Garrett shared on serving Ukraine for two months. Gary then returns to Ro...

The Holy Spirit drew Gary to Garrett Larsen, a home church pastor with "A Jesus Mission" ministry. Gary and Garrett spend time together, ministered to a Chick-Fil-A manager and more. The Holy Spirit spoke to Garrett some months ago, asking him to serve Ukraine. Working through the what-ifs and the how-to, Garrett answered the call and served for two months. He and others operated from a home base...

Gary summarizes the stories from the last program. He notes they started with a non-spiritual activity; he prayed or was sensitive for the Holy Spirit to intervene; and he encourages listeners to have a mindset of sharing their faith so doors will open. Romans 5:15-17 show that one man's trespass caused all humans to inherit a sin nature while the free gift by grace erased the sins of many, gave t...

Gary shares three stories. Each started as an everyday, non-spiritual activity. The first was a burger for lunch; the second was retrieving a left behind golf club; the third was shopping for tennis shoes. However, as Gary was sensitive to the Holy Spirit, doors opened to share Christ and pray for a young Latina and help a rap artist trying to show youth from barrio areas a better life. In the thi...

Gary shares more insights into reading the Epistles. He notes the Epistles are narrative compositions that reflect deeply on the significance of Christ's death and resurrection. The circumstances behind the Epistles are also very important, explaining for what purpose one  was written. Gary covers verses in Jude and notes a way to have success when confronted by scoffers is to openly demonstr...

Gary shares how he witnessed to an LDS follower, showing LDS doctrines focusing on works are contrary to and rebuked by teachings found in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, etc. While reading the epistles to clarify grace, faith and works, Gary noted how clearly the chapters in Galatians support salvation by grace through faith and reject works insofar as salvation. In this program, Gary shares facts...

Gary lays out four lessons from Matt M's story of last week. (1) When difficulties come, pour out our heart to God first; (2) Own what has happened in your life; (3) Include God always so the Word moves from our head to heart; (4) God is with us. Verses from Acts 18 show Paul shared his faith & taught regularly, compelled by the Spirit. And Gary shares the story of millions saved over 170 year...

The program begins with I Thes. 5:9, "God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." This ties into last week's message on the joy of salvation and escaping God's wrath. Gary next explains a principle he learned years ago, to give praise in all things, from the book Prison to Praise. Isa. 61 says God gives a garment of praise instead of a spirit of...

This illustrates God' tremendous love for us even before we were saved, mentioned in verse 8. Gary shares the salvation story of the former daredevil Evil Knievel. Evil came to the Lord later in life and ex...

Gary covers Romans 5:4-6. These verses show how tribulation works patience, patience works experience and experience produces hope. The hope mentioned here goes beyond the normal hope believers have of heaven and eternal life to hope in the tribulations and trials of our present life. Gary also shows how whether in evangelism or the normal course of life's ups and downs believers may have to back...

Gary begins the program with the question What can you listening do to go into All the World? He covers the first three verses in Romans 5, with a focus on Peace, Hope and Standing in Faith.

He mentions that though we may still sin we have been set free from the power of sin; renewing our mind will cause less and les...

The Bible says we are new creatures when born again. Our spirit is completely new; it was once dead and now is alive unto God. God wants us to live from our spirit.

Gary shares two stories and resumes teaching from...

Gary also starts reviewing Romans 5. for more info contact Gary Grif...

Today's Podcast focuses on Luke 1 and the miraculous contained within the Christmas Story. Believers as well as many non-believers embrace the Story of Jesus's birth. However, of these many are skeptical, or deny, miracles and the miraculous. May today's teaching give all of us pause to think as we hear of  (1) a discussion between a teenage girl and an angel;  (2) the teen is  soon...

This program centers on the Christmas Story and more. Gary starts by reading the Story from Luke 2 and adds comments as he reads. A main point of encouragement is letting the joy of the Lord well up inside us and the glory of the Lord to shine through us so we can project this joy and glory as we talk with others about Jesus. Other side comments are Mary and Joseph's awe at what God has done, just...

The Lord brought a brother who helped set-up a PODCAST, also called "Go into All the World" this week. A great blessing and this is the Praise.

The portion on wisdom centers on recognizing how God is always with us and how He always beck...

G...

A media minister mentioned that ALL believers need to cling to Jesus. The feeling is that not all believers are today. Gary gives some scriptural reasons to support the idea of clinging, including Luke 9:23, John 15:4-5, 8 and more. Jesus commands us to take up our cross daily and to abide in Him, so we can bear much fruit. Gary mentions that abiding, taking up our cross and clinging cannot be don...
