Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Today as Pastor Daniel digs deeper into John's letter to the Laodiceans to help us understand who we really are. He points out that they were blind to their true spiritual condition. They had fallen into the trap that satan had set for them, and uses on us today. They were lured in by pride. Their financial success and popularity kept them from fulfilling what God called them to do. Listen in to l...

Amen does more than just signify the ending of a prayer. It's not that at all. Today Pastor Daniel teaches us that it means we acknowledge that which is sure and valid. He say's it's a word of human response, to a divine truth or action. We learn that Jesus is the ultimate Amen, in the sense that He's the picture of the perfect, human, obedient response, to the divine promises of God. As Christian...

God's chosen people are most certainly Israel. But, for those of us who have accepted Jesus as our LORD and Savior, we have been grafted into Jesus, the root! We can now be called members of God's family. And God is continuing to do that work in each of us as we submit to Him. He is adding people to His family. There's coming a time when those that have persecuted the Body of Christ will recognize...

The God that we serve knows our beginning to our end. He knows the very number of hairs on your head! Like Pastor Daniel just described...like an artist...God is slowly working on His masterpiece that is you. The important part of this process is that we continue to say yes to Him … allowing Him to make those changes that only He can make.

There's pretty much no wiggle room there :-)...Pastor Daniel most certainly just described all of the various categories that we place ourselves in. And since the time that this message was shared at Crossroads Community Church, the Supreme Court of our land has legalized same sex marriage. This is a topic that has become hotly debated in the Body of Christ. Today Pastor Daniel brings us back to a...

Sometimes we let the cares of this world have so much more of a place of importance in our lives than we should. Stop and think about what we say we believe as Christians. We believe in a God we've never seen, who sent His only son to die on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins. We believe that when we die, or when Jesus returns, we will spend eternity with God in a place called heaven...again,...

Senior pastor and founder of the Calvary Chapel movement...Chuck Smith once said...you can call yourself a cheeseburger all you want, but it won't make you one! Or you have heard it this way...you can walk into a parking garage, but it won't make you a car. Brothers and sisters, Christianity is no different. God doesn't expect us to be perfect...but, He does expect us to say Yes to Him and allow H...

Reputation is what people think that you are...but, really character is who God knows that we are. WOW...so true. We strive in this life to put on the best front we can. And many times...that's just what it is...a front...when really, our hearts are so far from God. Pastor Daniel will begin a three part message exhorting each of us to cry out to God for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit in our lives...

In this teaching today, Pastor Daniel will tackle a touchy issue...human sexuality. We'll see that this church in Thyratira was compromising in this area, an area that we're all vulnerable to due to the culture we live in. We're bombarded by messages about sex that are completely opposite of what God meant it to be...and that's exactly how the devil wants it. To corrupt something God created as be...

After a big accomplishment, it's easy to rest on our laurels. But, as we'll hear in today's teaching, Jesus wants us to go further. The church in Thyratira had some problems...but one thing they did well was that their last works were even greater than their first. The world needs us to do more. The Lord needs us to grown in our faith, to reach others...more than we did yesterday. God is issuing a...

If you've ever seen a crime show on television, there is almost always a scene where the cops are turning up the heat on a suspect, trying to get them to confess. They go just far enough to get a confession without breaking the person. The Heavenly Father does that with us as well, but He has a different motive. Because He loves us, He wants to refine us, turning up the heat bit by bit so that the...

Imagine a traveling salesman, going door-to-door offering---not a vacuum cleaner or books—but a shiny new doctrine. As a believer, you'd quickly say “no, thanks” and close the door. But, what if the person offering that false doctrine was a parent? Or a spouse? Many of us have been taught incorrectly, which is why God gave us the Word. He can help us identify the doctrines in our lives that are co...

You know those funny video clips of people falling, tripping or slipping awkwardly to the ground, or into a pool, or onto someone else? They are hilarious to everyone...except, perhaps the person falling. They're just embarrassed. When we hold ourselves up to God's standards...we are constantly falling into a heap of fail. Jesus is watching all our embarrassing missteps, but His response is a lovi...

As a believer, you have the Word at your fingertips, and if you take it in...you have no excuses when it comes to compromise. The Word rightly divides...making it clear what areas of your life need to be transformed. In his teaching today, Pastor Daniel takes us to a church that is well-versed in compromise...in both avoiding and embracing it. God's Word has laser-like focus, bringing the kind of...

When you're in a tough situation...where does your faith come into play? A lot of us are guilty of just letting it fall by the wayside, as we try grasp the situation with our own, feeble hands. Or, as Pastor Daniel challenges us today, consider where you turn when your back is up against the wall...if it's not to the Lord...it's a functional savior. Jesus sees the faithfulness of the church at Smy...

The resurrection transforms suffering. As we'll see today, the church in Smyrna was intimately familiar with suffering. They lived in poverty, were persecuted for their faith...yet they persevered because of Jesus. In our study today, Pastor Daniel will tell us what Scripture says about suffering...and why we shouldn't be afraid of it. We can be comforted in knowing that our brokenness will be car...

Firsts are a big deal for most of us. First time driving a car, first day of school, first love...that initial excitement is intense and memorable. But how often since then have you been excited about driving? The novelty of school probably wore off pretty quickly. And first love...love requires maintenance and work to keep burning. As we'll find out today, the church in Ephesus had lost their fir...

When you hold convictions, you'd like to believe that you'd hold fast to them when confronted with an opposing ideal....and for the church in Ephesus, they were doing just that. As Pastor Daniel examines what Jesus wanted this church to know, we'll see exactly why He considered their discernment to be so important. When you cherish the truth of the gospel, you'll be diligent about holding up every...

If you set out today to find the perfect church...you'd be stuck in an endless loop of church-hopping. Churches are made up of imperfect people...just like you. We can't hide our flaws from God in a church...they bubble up there, too. Today's message is the first in a series, where Pastor Daniel takes us through the strengths and weaknesses of the churches addressed by Jesus in the book of Revelat...

We join Pastor Daniel in the midst of a testimony about a friend of Daniel's that recently passed away. This brother asked Daniel to make the funeral services ALL ABOUT JESUS...to make Jesus the focus. This displays a real heart of love for God and God's people. Pastor Daniel will remind us today that Jesus is Worthy and because He's worthy, we need to focus our minds and hearts on His purposes an...

Today Pastor Daniel continues sharing with us the core values of Crossroads Community Church. And it really doesn't matter that you don't specifically attend Crossroads Community Church...these core values are soundly based upon the Word of God and are applicable, regardless. One of those values is the fact that we're all in a state of change...we're in process. And because WE are changing, we nee...

That's a truth that if you're like me...you may not have considered...but, the implications are profound! If everyone has a set of moral, faith based, values...then sharing the Gospel with them just became much easier. When a person comes to understand that they DO, in fact, have a moral basis...the logical question then is, what do you base your morality on? Jesus and the morality He represents b...

All those examples that Pastor Daniel just shared are so true...much of the good that we enjoy comes through the breaking process. Pastor Daniel will share with us how important it is for each of us to experience that before we can be used by Jesus to be on mission with Him. Jesus will take what you meagerly offer Him, bless it, and then break it and divide it for His purposes...just like He did f...

The hustle and bustle of this life can be completely overwhelming at times. For most of us our days are planned days, if not weeks, in advance...we know exactly where we're going to be and when. It's easy to walk right past that homeless person in front of Starbucks and miss the fact...that that man or woman is another human being deeply loved and valued by God. Brothers and sisters, we need to sh...

Sometimes we take that fact for granted because of the very point that Pastor Daniel was just making...our senses are dulled to reality because of over exposure. Here in the West, we miss the amazing blessings that we enjoy because most of us have several Bibles...even listening to solid Bible teaching here on the radio is a privilege many don't enjoy. Part of God's seeing is His knowing. He knows...
