Growing in the Word

Today on the broadcast we join pastor Jim Jarrett in Genesis two, where God is now finished with His creative work.  What will He do next? Well, He's going to take some time out to enjoy what He's done- and rest. 

Genesis has been rightly called the book of beginnings as it reveals the beginning of everything - except for God of course. The bible makes no attempt to prove His existence for that truth is self evident. As the Psalmist said, the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies show His handy work. What a glorious work God has done - how great is our God!  And for you - He made the sky, the ocean...

Today on Growing in the Word we resume our study of the Beginning. It's based on the early part of Genesis, and we've reached the point of creation where God created mankind.  And the first thing He did after that, is He blessed us.  Our God is a blessing God, and that's seen from the beginning of time.

Pastor Jim Jarrett is recalling the beginning of all things right now, through a study of Genesis.  Everyone should take a trip to the zoo at some point, to see the incredible creative genius of God. From lions, to bears, Hippos, monkeys and my favorite - the Giraffe. I could go on and on.  And really that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the various animal life God has created.

We're in the process of going through pastor Jim Jarrett's series on The Beginning.  In essence we're considering how everything came into existence… from the planets, the living creatures that are in the sea, and walk the earth, right on down to our very own lives. Pastor Jim is about to spotlight the fourth and fifth days of Creation, and that's described for us in Genesis one, verses fourteen t...

Today on Growing in the Word Pastor Jim Jarrett takes us back to the beginning and is giving us a thorough study of the creation account in Genesis one.  On the fourth day, God created the Sun, Moon, Stars and all the bodies of our Universe, and here's how He did it.

Today on Growing in the Word we continue the story of Creation found in Genesis, and we've arrived at day four.  Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities; His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen. 

Maybe like a lot of people, you're wondering how in the world we got here?  Was there some sort of an explosion caused by random chance that sprung creation into existence or is there a creator behind it all?  Well you're not likely to get the right answer by opening the science books being read in the public schools, but you will by turning to Genesis chapter one!

The truth of God's word has been challenged from the very beginning. Today is no different.  But it's tragic to see that there are even those within the Church questioning the veracity of the word of God.  And when it comes to the book of Genesis - the attacks are the fiercest.  Why? Well, if the foundation can be undermined then the rest of the structure will crumble.  Today on Growing In The Wor...

Look around us in the year 2026 and you can see that the world has drifted away from God. In many cases, they have invented new gods to take His place. It's good to remind ourselves of the God we pray to.  He is the creator. He spoke - then out of nothing He made the heavens and the earth.  He made everything and He's holding it - and us - together. That's comforting! We'll explore this great trut...

 On Today's broadcast we begin a new study in the book of Genesis and we'll be examining the creation account.  So let's jump right in.  Pastor Jim begins by reading the scripture and then will introduce this important book..

An invitation to the White House would be deemed pretty important. Well, what about an invitation given to you by God Himself? Well it couldn't get any better than that, could it? You're listening to Growing in the Word with pastor Jim Jarrett.   We'll be finishing up our study of Revelation today with an awesome invitation from God.

Our teacher is pastor Jim Jarrett and he's been leading us on a verse by verse study of the Book of Revelation. Today we will once again spend some quality time in chapter twenty-two, the very last chapter of the entire Bible! What are the last written words of God?

The key question we'll examine once again today is, now that we know what's in store for this world, what are we going to do about it? We go to school for twelve or so years and are expected to use what we've learned to make our way in society. In much the same way, God has given us the information here in Revelation and expects us to use it. Exactly how?

  We are near the end of a long and inspiring journey through the last book in the Bible, Revelation. And today, Jim will continue our study with a message from Revelation twenty two. We've seen and studied the sequence of events that will signal the return of the Lord. The question you and I must answer is this: What should we be doing with the time remaining?

Today we'll be talking about the soon return of Christ. A Gallup Poll concluded that sixty-two percent of Americans believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth someday. If this is true, why aren't more Americans living with a sense of expectancy that Christ could return at any moment? As followers of Christ, our actions need to match our beliefs.

The future is unknown, and human beings always fear the unknown, right? Rather than fearing what is to come, we are to be faithful till Christ returns. Instead of fearing the dark, we're to be lights as we watch and wait.

Today we remember the great sacrifice Jesus made on the cross of Calvary. He died a painful and unjust death for a wonderful reason - to save us from the penalty of our sins. But if Jesus had died on the cross, and the story ended there, we would be in big trouble. But Jesus rose from the grave and walked out of the tomb, and bridged the gap between us and a perfect and Holy God.

With all of the turmoil going on in the world right now, isn't it a comfort to know that God is in control? This coming Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's the most significant event in human history. Can you imagine going through life in this mixed-up and violent world without the promise of eternal life in heaven? That promise was cemented in stone when the Lord rose from...

As we continue our study of Revelation, pastor Jim will bring us more details about a most amazing place, The New Jerusalem.  

There are two places you can go after death, and it all depends on where you are in your relationship with Jesus Christ. That's at the core of today's message from Pastor Jim Jarrett, as we continue our study of Revelation. Your body decays in a grave, but your soul lives on forever. The question is, where?

Today, the topic will once again be one of pastor Jim's favorites - heaven! Heaven is a real place. The bible quite carefully describes it's dimensions, and many of it's physical characteristics. It's a place every Christian should be looking forward to seeing with great anticipation. John saw a vision of heaven in Revelation twenty one.

On today's program, we bring you another message in Jim's series in Revelation. The key question we'll examine once again today is, now that we know what's in store for this world, what are we going to do about it? We go to school for twelve or so years and are expected to use what we've learned to make our way in society. In much the same way, God has given us the information here in Revelation a...
