God Talk

This week at Light of the World Church, we delve into one of the most misunderstood passages of the Bible—Matthew 7:1-5. Join us as we explore the profound question Jesus poses about judgment, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and ignore the plank in your own eye?" 👁️ Understand the true meaning behind Jesus' words and how they apply to our lives today. We will challen...

Some people say, God works in mysterious ways…others talk about God winks, and yet others are just out and out miracles you decide which one this falls into, but either way you’ll be encouraged by the story

We're opening a new 12-week sermon series today, taking a look at questions Jesus asked in the course of teaching those who followed Him. We begin with the topic of worry, a habit we all have, and on deeper probing, realize it is far more pervasive in our lives than we would like to admit. Whether you’ve only said it to yourself or admitted it to someone else, you’ve inevitably said something like...

If you have tinnitus or know someone who does you hear things that just aren’t real and that is exactly how Satan works on all of us. How is he causing you to hear things that aren’t real in your life?

As we conclude this series, the final chapter covers the promise of His return that Christ made after the cross, as He ascended back into heaven. The bible began “the story” with the account of creation, how man sinned, the consequences of his sin, then continued with God sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who gave His life by dying on a cross to redeem those who would place their fa...

The saga of O.J. Simpson is finally over for us but with his last breath, he now stands before the Almighty and will receive a final last trial. Are you prepared for your final last trial?

At the outset, and throughout this sermon series it should have become clear that God wants man to know who He is, and how he can have a relationship with Him. The Bible, God’s perfect Word, offers everyone the free gift of salvation and eternal life through belief in Jesus Christ, His Son. Once we become believers, we are all sent to share the good news with others. Today we look more closely at...

Have you ever seen a demon? Do you want to see a demon? If you do all you have to do is open your eyes they are all around us. Join us for this episode of God Talk as we explore what a demon looks like and how to guard against them.

As the series has unfolded, it should now become apparent that the story of scripture is not just history, it is also His Story, the story of Jesus Christ the Messiah, who came to redeem sinful mankind. He perfectly fulfilled the law given to Moses and His chosen people and became the once-and-for-all sacrifice that replaced the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. Believing in Jesus’ death an...

We all want to know when God is talking to us. Does He really talk to us and if He does how do we know when He is?

Dive deep into the historical saga of Israel—a story of promise, prosperity, and the peril of lost inheritance. From the heights of King David's reign to the depths of captivity and exile, witness how unfaithfulness led to the loss of a land promised by God. But this isn't just history. It's a reflection on our own spiritual journey. Like Israel, we too stand at the crossroads of inheritance and l...

Word is traveling around social media that this eclipse might be different than all the rest. Is there special spiritual significance about this coming eclipse? We will examine whether there is any special significance to the coming eclipse on this episode of God Talk.

This Sunday, we study King David, the greatest of all of Israel’s kings, and the one whom God Himself claimed was a “man after His own heart. That’s certainly a compliment like no other! As we look at his life, we see that he was anything BUT perfect, but nonetheless, he was a man of great faith in God. He was also one to trust God, even when the odds were overwhelmingly against him. Despite his s...

Our natural inclination is to run away from being pruned, but without being pruned, we will be ruined. In this episode of God Talk, we will talk about how to embrace the season of being pruned by God.

As the series has unfolded we see the nation of Israel develop from a promise to Abraham that he would become a great nation, to his descendants becoming just that, but held in captivity. Enter Moses, the great prophet that leads the nation out of Egypt, headed for the land they were promised as an inheritance, but it was Joshua, Moses’ successor who actually brought them in. Despite God being wit...

Last week we looked at the promise God made to Abraham that his descendants would be like the sand of the sea, and this week we look at how his son’s sons, driven by famine to the foreign land of Egypt, amid twists, turns, and hard circumstances, had still become a mighty nation. As His chosen people, God heard the cries of their oppression and miraculously brought them out of the land of Egypt an...

Some of you may be a fan of the TV show, naked and afraid, but the original episode of naked and afraid, took place in the garden of Eden and the final episode will take place on judgment day. Join us, as we explore what it means to be naked and afraid before God on this episode of God Talk.

God started the Story with perfect creation, then Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sinned and messed it up, then all men became grievously sinful so God wiped all of them out with a flood except Noah and his family. And now we arrive at a pivotal point in the story: After the flood it doesn’t take long for man’s sinfulness to rear its head, so God calls the one righteous man on the earth who follows...

Money and debt are a huge problem for our society and creates a huge amount of stress in our lives and in our relationships. What is the Bible’s view on debt and how do we get out of it? Is it really possible to give your way out of debt? These are the topics we will explore on this week’s episode of God Talk.

We’ve all seen, or may have even experienced heavy flooding, but when someone says “The Flood,” everyone knows the event referred to is the most destructive event that has ever or will ever take place on the face of the earth. No event even comes close to the magnitude of a worldwide flood! How could it? That is what we will be talking about today, but the focus will be more on the reason for the...

If you watched the Super Bowl this past Sunday, you’ve probably heard some controversy surrounding a commercial that was aired during it. It was a commercial of people washing each other’s feet because they claim that’s what Jesus has told us to do. Is it a good commercial is it a bad one? That is what we’re covering on this weeks episode of God Talk.

We opened our series with the biblical account of God’s creation of heaven and earth, and man, and in this episode turn to the account of man exercising his God-given free will. Theologians describe Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God’s explicit instruction to eat everything but the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as “The Fall.” It’s a term used to convey Adam & Eve’s tran...

The Bible is made up of thousands of different stories, but when studying it we tend to choose individual passages without a big-picture context, and never fully grasp the main story. The series we are launching today is intended to highlight the Bible’s “one story” using many of the individual “parts” that comprise it. And there is no better place to start than at the beginning in the book of Gen...

Our society has become a dumpster fire. If we don’t put it out soon it may be too late!

We conclude our series on the Book of Jonah today, emphasizing Jonah's struggle with God's compassion and his own misplaced anger, presenting an analogy between Jonah's concern for a plant and God's care for Nineveh. Especially important, there are parallels with Jesus's ministry, highlighting the necessity of genuine repentance for forgiveness, which underscores the challenge that the church face...
