Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Do you ever get frustrated when it seems as if God isn’t aware of your needs? Whether it be big things like rent money or help in making a decision, it might seem like God’s not paying attention. The church in Laodicea, on the other hand, didn’t think they needed God’s help – everything was going just fine, thank you very much. Pastor Daniel will teach about what Jesus had to say about this attitu...

Everyone wants to be on the winning side. Whether it’s sports, politics, or whatever, nobody likes to lose. It is the same in the spiritual realm. The problem in the spiritual arena, though, is that mankind has been tricked into believing that there are either no sides – everyone wins – or that it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing when they die. Pastor Daniel will remind us that everyone’s ei...

It’s hard to make changes that you know will affect your family. Changing circumstances are often received poorly by those who might not completely understand the reasoning behind the change. But like the patriarchs found out, being obedient to God has long-term blessings that await you at the end of the line. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the church in the city of Philadelphia and their ob...

Everybody has a little nub of resistance that rebels against what Jesus wants us to do, even though we know that He is right. The remnant of our sinful nature that we haven’t let God wipe out. Good thing for us, though, God doesn’t give up on us. He just keeps prodding us to let Him rule more of our hearts, which is what the church in Philadelphia did. Pastor Daniel will talk about the things that...

Parents, as they raise their kids, can usually get an idea of what their kids are capable of academically. And as the kids progress through school they encourage them without comparing them to each other. If they have a kid that gets A’s and B’s easily, they don’t put up with C-quality work. Pastor Daniel will teach about a church that had the veneer of A-level but was doing C-level at best. God w...

People get so hung up on appearing to be the ‘right’ or ‘cool’ person to others. Wear the right clothes, be seen at the right places, and hang out with the right people. But that’s not how God judges your value, as Pastor Daniel will teach today. The church in Sardis thought they had it going on because they appeared to society to be the ‘perfect’ church. But they found out that God had a far diff...

Some companies spend billions of dollars yearly to convince you that what they’re selling is just what you need. Sometimes you may need what they’re selling; often, you don’t need it and don’t find that out until it’s too late. In many of our lives, we spend time convincing people to believe our image of ourselves. Pastor Daniel will teach about a church whose image of themselves didn’t match with...

People are going to hear this and ask, “Where’s ‘gentle Jesus, meek and mild’”? This seems so harsh, to threaten to kill a group of His own followers. People sometimes forget that the same Jesus Who loved the children also made a whip and beat grown men until they ran out of the temple. Pastor Daniel is going to talk about what made Jesus issue this threat. He will let you know how you can keep fr...

When we’re new Christians we’re very excited about our salvation because we’re very aware of what we’ve been saved from. We try to serve and we’re at every church function because we want to soak it all up. As time goes on, it’s easy to become casual about what God has done and continues to do in our lives. Pastor Daniel is going to be teaching about a church that had become kind of casual in thei...

There’s a saying: “God won’t allow more in your life than you can handle”. This is a common way of thinking in much of the Church today. Lots of the Church, though, is going through serious persecution today – more than any time in history. So, where’s God in their situation? Pastor Daniel will be talking about the role that hard times and difficulties can play in the life of the Christ follower a...

It’s a human tendency to think that the beliefs we hold must be the correct ones; after all, we believe them! However, since we aren’t God, we don’t know all of the correct things to believe. This causes problems when we learn that our friend doesn’t hold the exact same thoughts that we have. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the danger of compromise. He also will speak on the need to be gracio...

It’s so hard to understand God’s grace and mercy, especially when we’re in the midst of falling short of His best for us. We want to beat ourselves up and hang our heads; He wants us to get back up and move forward. But when we choose to continue sinning, there will be consequences. Pastor Daniel will talk about the warnings that Jesus had given this church over their letting in false teachings, a...

There are times, especially when we’re put under social or legal pressure when we’re tempted to make decisions that go against our moral beliefs. These might have small effects on our lives; sometimes, worse consequences result. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the church at Pergamos, who had made doctrinal compromises and was being called out on it by Jesus Himself. You’ll learn what He had t...

You’ve misjudged someone before, haven’t you? We all have. You’ll see someone who looks like they’re the last person you’d want to be around who turns out to be kind and humble. And you’ve met a person who seems like you’d want to befriend but turns out to be mean and vindictive. Pastor Daniel will be teaching from the book of Revelation about a church that seemed to have it going on but Jesus saw...

That’s the point, though. Everybody goes through hard times; some people experience tragedies. And since everyone is unique, their feelings as they navigate through difficulties are unique, too. But what is universal for everyone, as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, is that Jesus does know how you feel. He felt the weight of every sin, of every wrong done by one to another. And He can provide...

It’s normal to ease your passions when you’ve engaged in an activity for a while. Couples become more comfortable with each other and maybe take one another for granted. It can be the same in your relationship with God. Pastor Daniel’s message today will indicate that this coolness toward God is what had happened to the Ephesian church. You’re going to find out God’s remedy for them, which might a...

How full is your hope tank? Full and raring to go or almost empty, in desperate need of a fill-up? Living in this world can suck the hope out of you because this world is a hope killer. All of the bad things that happen around us give us the impression that only bad things are going to happen. Pastor Daniel will remind you today that God’s the Ultimate authority on this earth and He’s got great st...

It is easy to feel all alone when you’re going through difficult times. It seems like there’s no one to give you solid advice or even just to talk to for a sympathetic ear. Pastor Daniel will show you using the scriptures that if you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re never really alone. You’re going to find out that just like in the early days of the Church, Jesus is with His people all of the time....

What do you think about that? An abundant life now, with the promise of an even more abundant life without an ending when your time on this earth is over. And people reject this offer every day and die without having Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pastor Daniel is going to teach about the ultimate love, the love that God has for you and everyone else. Listen today as God’s love is explained in a...

How many of you have been humbled by the words or behavior of a youngster? A child who displayed the compassion that cut at the cynicism of your heart? That’s tough to deal with, isn’t it? And yet, that’s what God wants from all of His followers. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about this heart attitude that’s so lacking among the adults who claim to be the disciples of Christ. But you’ll find out...

When was the last time you misjudged somebody? Note that the question wasn’t “Have you ever”; we’ve all created an inaccurate picture of someone. It seems like it’s human nature to look at someone’s action and immediately decide that we know for sure what that person is like and what their motives were at that moment. Pastor Daniel will show how wrong that is and our need to take a step back and t...

“That’s easy for you to say – You don’t know the pressures I have”, you might reply. Sure, we all have things that stress us out – jobs, bills, relationships, and the list goes on. But what Pastor Daniel is going to be asking in his teaching today is: what are the most important things in life? He’s going to help you understand what those most important things are. Then you’re going to learn why t...

It’s hard sometimes to do the right thing, isn’t it? To be excited for a friend who gets the promotion that you wanted, to be happy for your girlfriend who starts dating the boy you had a crush on. It almost seems unfair for God to require that we feel in ways that go against our inclinations. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about all of this and you will learn why you should behave like God does a...

Isn’t it almost…well, not exactly fun…but maybe a little pleasurable when someone you don’t like gets what you think they have coming? You feel guilty about enjoying that, but that guilt doesn’t stop you from enjoying their discomfort. Pastor Daniel will be talking about that attitude today and how it is not how God wants you to be thinking. You’re going to be reminded that God’s love does not rej...

Everybody has ideas about how they should be treated as well as how they think they should treat other people. Most people don’t give much thought to these ideas because if they did, they’d see the gap between the two. We want to be treated much better than we treat people. Pastor Daniel’s message today is going to address this disparity and then blow it all up by giving us a higher standard of tr...
