Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

As Pastor Daniel has been teaching through Exodus, about the laws God gave to the people, we have heard the specificity of God’s directions. If left to our own devices, people err on the side of selfishness. God’s ways are better. Today, we’ll hear a serious word about purity, and the demeaning attitudes about sex that are prevalent in our communities. We don’t know what the right way up is…so God...

Many conflicts are messy when it’s one person’s word against another’s. If someone is willing to lie, the problem worsens. As we’ll hear today, God’s solution to this problem as He presented the laws to His people, was to have the parties involved take an oath. As Pastor Daniel shares today, a healthy fear of God is a good thing. If you’re walking with the Lord, you shouldn’t be comfortable taking...

Anger really messes up how we deal with things. We let our feelings get in the way of finding equitable solutions in the midst of conflict. Today, Pastor Daniel continues teaching about God’s laws. God’s heart was to provide His people with a more excellent way, and it still is. Although some of the laws may sound antiquated, we’ll hear how relatable they are for today. From animals to property, w...

When we’re angry, it’s easy to go overboard. That’s our nature as fleshly people. Our tendency is vengeance. The commandments given by God to the people in Exodus can be confusing for us, and we may think that they don’t apply. But we’ve escalated situations, we’ve cursed people….we’re reactionary. As Pastor Daniel helps us to understand in this message, that’s exactly why God sent Jesus. Because...

As people, we tend to get stuck where we are. It’s not easy to understand other parts of the world because we function so differently. Today, Pastor Daniel helps us to navigate those confusing parts of Exodus, like slavery and selling children into it. At first read, it’s easy to be horrified…but as we’ll hear today, it’s not the system we’re imagining. Context is important, and we have to be will...

When Jesus was given a couple fish and some bread, He didn’t keep it to Himself…but He spread it around for everyone. Today, Pastor Daniel will encourage us to not keep ourselves back from the Father. In the commandments we hear today, the people are told to do specific things in order to bless the Lord. He knows what we need…and we don’t need to take matters into our own hands. He can take what w...

Covetousness. It doesn’t deal with your actions as much as it does your heart…a desire for something. As Pastor Daniel clarifies this commandment for us, we’ll find that it’s not that God doesn’t want us to have desires, but how our hearts chase after things we don’t need all the time. In our culture, always wanting more is the norm, but that’s exactly counter to God’s way. This particular command...

Bearing false witness is a nuanced game. When you consider ‘bearing false witness’, you probably imagine telling a blatant lie about a person. But as we’ll hear today, silence can be just as devastating. As Pastor Daniel explains, our words—or lack of them—can heap negative consequences on someone, and it’s a serious matter. Take time to consider whether or not you have truly been keeping this com...

It’s hard to remove yourself from guiding your own life. But, as a believer, God wants to direct your path. As we listen to Pastor Daniel’s message about the ten commandments, we’ll consider the issue of stealing. Stealing can be at the heart of keeping our lives from the Father. It’s not just monetary, although that can be a stumbling block for us as well. Listen, and be challenged to consider yo...

Adultery is one of those commandments that has less impact in our culture than it once did. Most people would probably say that adultery is wrong, but what about pornography or lust? Gradually, more and more has become acceptable, but it all falls under the umbrella of adultery. Pastor Daniel will help us to define what lust really is, and how to deal with the pervasiveness of sexual imagery and c...

Christians and non-Christians come down on both sides of the issue of capital punishment and war. We feel justified in our proclamations about how these decisions should be made, but today, Pastor Daniel reminds us that our primary goal should be to seek the Word on these matters. While there may not be a clear answer, the point is to seek God’s heart in everything. War is a part of life, but it w...

All of us are created in the image and likeness of God, but we are also warped by sin. Because of this, God has to address our tendency to sin, which He does through the Ten Commandments. But, as Pastor Daniel will tell us today, even murder is not a cut and dry sin. Not only does murder not stop at a physical act, but begins in the heart. Hatred, anger, bitterness at another person run the same p...

Honoring your parents seems like a straightforward commandment…but, considering that family situations vary so greatly…how do we really apply that to our lives? Today, Pastor Daniel will explain what it means to honor your parents in the context of growing up, as adults…and even when a person has abusive or dysfunctional parents. God’s intention with His commandments are always for our good, to pr...

Imagine someone told you that you should take a day off of work each week, and that you would be refreshed and renewed from it. Would you accept it or worry about getting behind at work or being docked pay? As we’ll hear today, that’s what God asks of us when He says to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. We can trust Him to bless us as we set aside a day to grow our relationship with Him…and t...

It’s easy to say that words are really meaningless, but how many of us really believe that? We’ve all been hurt by someone’s harsh or careless words, and God is no different. Today, one of the ten commandments that Pastor Daniel will address is ‘do not take the Lord’s name in vain.’ We all know when someone is speaking out of frustration, or true hatred…and there’s a difference. We’ll consider wha...

This is the Politics Interview with Josh Brown and Pastor Daniel Fusco.

If God said we could just worship any god…would He really love us? Today, Pastor Daniel answers that question as he takes us through the first part of the ten commandments. We have a tendency to worship other gods, like money, work, education, so many things. He’s jealous, and not jealous like the way we usually think of that word. He wants our hearts, minds and attention because He loves us, and...

One reason for the law is to turn us towards the Lord. That happens when our focus is taken away from idols, anger, selfishness…a litany of vices. But, as we’ll hear Pastor Daniel say today…God’s commandments also lead us to others. Helping, discipling, loving…all of those characteristics that communicate the love of Jesus, and not our own agendas. Listen and be encouraged in knowing that the law...

Rules? We can follow rules….mostly. You know most of the ten commandments, and as you read through them, it’s easy to think, “Yeah! I’m keeping them.” But, as Pastor Daniel begins teaching on the commandments, we’ll hear that there is a lot more to them than murdering someone, or bowing down to a golden statue. God’s laws were given as a tutor, and as we understand them, we draw nearer to the Fath...

Put a fence up. That doesn’t sound like positive advice, but as we’ll hear today, that’s exactly what we should do if we want to walk right with the Lord. Pastor Daniel will explain why Moses had to tell the people to stay off the mountain, and reminded to be obedient. We don’t want to listen to rules, but God’s desire is for us to be protected. Find out how to keep yourself on that path, working...

None of us can keep all of the law. We are disobedient, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t saved. As Pastor Daniel explains today, our disobedience does keep us from His blessings. Self-focus keeps us from following what God wants from us. We’ll find out that unbroken fellowship with the Father is the most sustaining relationship of all. He considers His children to be special treasures. Listen and d...

A capable, hardworking person is often sought out to be a helper, or a leader, or member of a club. But when one person does everything, they’ll be spread thin…and less will be accomplished. As Pastor Daniel reminds us today, God has anointed a lot of people with His Spirit…and we’re all capable to do His work. We’ll hear how Moses, weighed down with the requests of the people, took some great adv...

NO man is an island. We all crave community, because we need people and they need us. Pastor Daniel explains how Moses, as a leader of the people sought help not only from God, but from the people. Collectively, the people were greater together than as individuals. Take the challenge today, to consider your attitude and relationship towards your community. Nobody should struggle alone, because God...

When faced with a challenge, where do you go? Maybe you have a mentor or friend that is great at giving advice. When it comes to help, though, there is only one true place of refuge. In today’s message, we’ll hear how Moses knew right where to go…to God. And whatever the answer, Moses would follow. Even when we don’t understand God’s ways, we can be sure that God has a plan…and He’s faithful to fo...

Imagine you could only have one day’s worth of food in your home at any given time. What if there was a storm and you couldn’t get out to the store? If that makes you anxious, you’re not alone. As Pastor Daniel teaches today, we’ll hear that God’s people felt the same way. They try to save manna when God has told them He’ll provide it daily. The key is trust. As you listen, consider God’s provisio...
