Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

We “modern”, “sophisticated” people tend to look at people who worship…cows, for instance, as backward and ignorant. The truth of the matter, though, is that everybody worships something; that’s how God made us to be. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the beginning of the showdown between Yahweh and the gods the Egyptians worshipped. It’ll be a reminder that when the things you worship fail you...

Everybody likes to feel that when they do work they'll see what they – and everybody else – consider to be success. And when you’re doing what God told you to do, the expectations might be even higher; after all, you’re doing God’s will for your life! Pastor Daniel will show that again, God’s definition of success isn’t the same as ours is. You’ll be reminded that God always has the end goal in mi...

When a child is adopted into a family, they have no idea the depth of the changes that are coming to their lives. They have hopes and dreams, of course, but they also have limited information about what “family” means to their adoptive parents and existing family. Pastor Daniel is going to teach that this was much the same for the children of Israel. They’re going to learn through the events that...

Very few things are created instantly. Not a book or a piece of music or a sculpture – if they’re going to be of a high quality, they take time. Sometimes lots of time, even years. As Pastor Daniel teaches about the process God used to get the people of Israel free from the Pharaoh, he’ll show how the principles used there apply to you and me. God wants us to end up the way He envisioned us to be,...

If you want to become stronger or more fit, it’s going to take work – maybe a lot of it. It will require changing your priorities and your schedule. You’re going to be sore and you may have to give up things you like. But the end goal is worth all the work. When God’s working in your life, there are definitely hard times along the way to victory, and that’s what Pastor Daniel will be teaching abou...

We don’t understand God at all and cannot. It would be like a single-celled organism trying to comprehend quantum physics – it’s just not gonna happen! We get tripped up in matters of justice and judgment, trying to understand God’s reasoning for how He handles situations. Pastor Daniel will remind us in his teaching today that one of God’s attributes is that He knows everything, including the int...

When people think about the idea of doing service for God the reasons they can’t do it spring to mind. They usually focus on the lack of talent they are cursed with. Moses was no exception; he had a list of reasons for God to take a pass on him and find someone else. But as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, we tend to forget that we’re talking about God here. All He wants from us is to be will...

Isn’t that true, though? We think that it’s all about us when God calls us to do something. All we can do is think about all of the times in the past that we’ve failed, and we project that into the future. Moses was no different than we are. Pastor Daniel is going to teach about the important point, though: when God calls, God equips the person for the task. You’re going to hear, though, about Mos...

It’s so hard to slow down and live in the moment. The pressures of work and family obligations can overwhelm us and we choose to ignore the things we consider unimportant. God, however, is never in a hurry to do anything, despite the urgency we might feel. Pastor Daniel is going to teach about the calling of Moses by God. Moses has been on the earth for forty-plus years and has become content bein...

It’s interesting how often somebody who has success in the world system has a hard time living life as a follower of Jesus. The temptation to use the same techniques and attitudes that garnered acclaim by the world, as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, can be strong. You’re going to hear about the way that God prepares His leaders and you’re going to be challenged to embrace the ways of God an...

Lots of people say that the Bible is hard to understand, and there is some truth to that. Unless the Holy Spirit gives you the insight you need, the Bible is mostly words on a page. Pastor Daniel, as he teaches today, will show the links between the Old and New Testaments and how, if you know where to look, God tells of the coming of the Messiah all over the place. You’re going to hear about one o...

A lot of people will say that God’s standard for getting into heaven isn’t fair. Why can’t all the good people get in? Or at least the people who were good…most…of the time, like us? That one-hundred-percent perfection thing is just too cruel. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the reason that God has the standard He does. You’re also going to learn about the way He made for you to be considered...

Everybody likes to win, right? Win enough in the right field of competition and you get your name in books and even have statues made to commemorate your success. Today, Pastor Daniel is going to talk about what winning looks like from God’s perspective. Along the way, you’re going to learn some interesting math equations that should help you to remember the things that matter to God and how to be...

How seriously do you take sin? If you look at the condition of the Church today, it seems that most followers of Jesus either wink at sin as if it’s a joke or don’t even try to excuse it – they do whatever they want. Pastor Daniel will teach today what sin looks like from God’s viewpoint. You’re going to learn that God has a zero-tolerance policy toward sin and He expects His followers to do the s...

Our relativistic world says that there are many paths to God and that we’re all children of God. If you’ve been the parent of a teenager you might have used the phrase, “My house, my rules” at some point. Pastor Daniel will teach that when it comes to who gets to be considered a child of God, God says “My family, My rules”. And that is hard for our pluralistic society to handle, which points out t...

It’s easy to get caught up in movements that seem to want to help change things in society but cause you to think about life and people in a way that doesn’t honor God. In addition, they can sometimes persuade you to think about the people who disagree with you as the enemy, unworthy of love and compassion. Pastor Daniel’s teaching today will use God’s word to shine a light on this way of thinking...

You may have heard people say that they’re going to heaven because they’re an American. Somehow they’ve gotten the idea that American equals Christian. Pastor Daniel will be teaching today what the Bible defines a Christian as. You’re going to learn that God’s requirements for someone who He determines as part of His kingdom is quite different than what many people think it is. The good thing, tho...

We humans tend to have a rather narrow view of who we want to let into our lives. We want to be around people who are for the most part similar to us in how we live our lives. But as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, the kingdom of God is open to everybody, and that means that we’re going to be interacting with people very different than ourselves. The great thing about it, though, is that thr...

It’s hard to think about all of the EVIL things that people do to other people and imagine that God can somehow use those events and bring good out of them. If you’ve been a victim of such things that’s probably a question you ask often. But as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, we humans simply are unable to comprehend how … BIG … God REALLY is. Beginning to get a grip on God’s infinite knowle...

Everybody has two lives that they live: the one they live when they’re around people they know, and the one they live when they’re around strangers. The most honest people are the ones whose two lives are most similar. As a follower of Jesus, it’s clear that neither of those sides meets God’s standards. As Pastor Daniel will be teaching, that’s where grace and forgiveness come in to help us achiev...

Joseph went through a lot of trauma during his life: sold into slavery, falsely imprisoned, and hated by his brothers. It would have been easy for him to just fade away into mediocrity, but he didn’t. As Pastor Daniel shares the final words of prophecy that Jacob spoke over Joseph, the reason for Joseph’s success will become clear. Learning the secret of Joseph’s prosperity, you’ll discover princi...

Patience is one of the hardest things to learn because you have to go through things you can’t fix to learn to see them through to the end. In Jacob’s life, God had made promises to him. Some of the fulfillment of those promises wouldn’t come to pass until many years after Jacob’s death. Nevertheless, as Pastor Daniel will share today, Jacob understood that delay and as a result will give thanks t...

It’s been said throughout the ages that actions have consequences. Today’s society seems to be bent on denying the reality of that statement. But even thousands of years ago it was the case, as Pastor Daniel will share today. Three of Jacob’s sons had done things that were pretty awful, and maybe they thought that those deeds were forgotten. But you’ll learn that those sinful acts are going to aff...

God loves mankind very much and also wants men and women to know the reality of His existence. To make both of those facts plain, He gives prophetic words throughout scripture. One of those places is where Pastor Daniel will be teaching from today. You’ll hear Jacob telling what the descendants of his sons will be like based on the temperaments of the son. It’s quite remarkable and goes to show th...

What does being faithful and fruitful mean and how is that different than being successful? From the world’s viewpoint, success can be measured by increasing wealth and prestige. But does that mean that you were faithful or fruitful? Pastor Daniel will be teaching about Jacob’s faithfulness to God as Jacob nears the end of his life. You’re going to learn what the difference between success and fru...
