Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Yeah, a lot of what we Christians believe seems crazy – or stupid – to the world. All of the things about Jesus, Who He is, and what He did when He was here the first time. But if He is Who He says He is, then then the things we believe aren’t outside the realm of possibility. Pastor Daniel is going to show how the faith to believe in Jesus being Who He is, goes in a direct line back to Noah, who...

America is a little over two hundred fifty years old. Now imagine being twice that age and then getting a call from God to build something that’s never existed before, while preaching to your neighbors that God’s judgment is coming. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about Noah, whom God called to do those things. You’ll be encouraged today to think about your life differently; not in terms of years u...

The life of the follower of God has always been one that’s counter to, or against, popular culture. Even when God picked Israel to be a country, the way they were to do things was different than all the other countries. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about Noah, who with his family were the only ones in the world who were obeying God. You’ll find out today how to stand for God – alone, if necessar...

God doesn’t do anything randomly; every single thing is done with purpose. Unlike modern times, most people were named for a reason, with forethought. Pastor Daniel will teach that God is always looking for people who are interested in following Him. And He leaves bread crumbs for people to pick up and examine if they’re willing to be interested. And you’ll see that even thousands of years ago God...

People love to minimize their own sins and maximize the sins of others. The Church has been particularly bad at doing that, too. And in the realm of sexual sin, homosexuality has for a long time been the boogeyman sin for the Church, while playing down the rampant sexual sin inside her own walls. Pastor Daniel will show today that while the Bible speaks of sin a lot, God will judge it on the same...

In the Bible, many times, God says that He doesn’t change, that His character is what it is and that His consistency is something we can rely on. Pastor Daniel’s telling of the case of Cain is a perfect example of that. You’ll see that God punished Cain for the murder he committed, but God never closed the door on Cain; Cain did that. And that’s an important lesson for us; no matter how far we str...

In America, we’re pretty used to having what we want. In fact, one fast food company’s motto used to be, “Have it your way”. And we’re not accustomed to getting pushback when we insist on things being done how we like. But God, as Pastor Daniel will be sharing today, isn’t like that. He’s not trying to please us. In fact, He is the One doing the requiring and demanding. And you’ll hear about the c...

The world (and too much of the Christian church) has bought into the idea that the curse of the fall was to have to work. But that is a lie. As you’ll hear when Pastor Daniel teaches from Genesis three today, God cursed work by making it hard, not by making Adam work. Hopefully, Pastor Daniel’s expansion on this truth will help you to put the concept of work into its proper perspective and help yo...

When you’re trying to get someone out of a Christian cult, one of the tools used is to show how what they believe doesn’t line up with the plain text of the Bible. In the same way, how you get Christian men and women to see where their lives aren’t lining up with Christlike living is to show how they’ve drifted from biblical teaching, and that’s what Pastor Daniel’s going to do today. You’re going...

There’s no way to fully comprehend the purity of the Garden of Eden. As beautiful as many aspects of the modern world are, the first earth was completely perfect. No pollution, no disharmony, no wrongdoing. And then, as you’ll hear Pastor Daniel teach, the seeds of all of the corruption we experience were sown by Adam and Eve. All of the potentials that God had given mankind, we threw away. But yo...

We seem to live in a world where no one wants to take responsibility for the things they do. It’s their parents’ fault, or the environment they grew up in, or systemic…whatever. And why do we all do this? As Pastor Daniel will be teaching, this is just the latest version of the first game: the blame game. You’ll see in the teaching today the first time this game was played, as well as what led up...

People in the world think that freedom is the ability to do whatever they want, but that isn’t freedom; it’s anarchy. They don’t think that everyone is free to do what they want, that includes the really bad people, too. Robberies of all sorts happen as well as violent crimes. Pastor Daniel’s teaching will touch on the simple rules that God gave Adam and Eve, and why He gave the rules that He did....

You know, the world wants to tell you that you’re descended from monkeys, and even further back than that, from some primordial ooze, or bacteria, or something. You see the result of that thinking all around you, with so many people in despair because they have no meaning for their lives. Pastor Daniel will offer an alternative idea: that we have been made with intent, by an awesome loving God, to...

Have you ever borrowed an item from a friend or rented a car? You treat it a lot better than you treat your own stuff, don’t you? It’s because you know that the item you borrowed doesn’t belong to you and because you’ll have to give an accounting for the condition you return it in. As Pastor Daniel will teach today, we should be treating God’s creation, including ourselves, differently than we mig...

When kids are young, if they have a good family life they observe people – usually their parents – that they want to be like. And as they get older, they want to live in such a way that those whom they admire will be proud of how they turned out. Pastor Daniel is going to be teaching that we followers of Jesus should live the same way. But mainly what he’ll be talking about is how the characterist...

It’s hard to think of God as enjoying our maturing process with all of its starts and stops, advances, and falling back. “Surely”, we think, “God’s got to be tired of all of my failures”. But that’s the way the world thinks about God. Pastor Daniel’s going to remind you that God made you. He knows how you’re supposed to be, and He also knows that you’re corrupted by the sinful nature we all have....

So, you’re an actor and your life is a movie? That’s a different way to think about yourself, huh? The comparison, though, kind of holds. The scriptures give instructions on how to live our lives in front of the not-yet-believing world. But that’s not the main thing Pastor Daniel’s talking about today; he’s going to let you dip your toes into the book of Genesis. He’ll start with some background a...

Sliding away from a close relationship with Jesus is so easy to do; just do nothing. You get busy with life, maybe you start a relationship or get immersed in your vocation or school, and it’s easy to skip a service. Then a second, and something else has replaced the time spent with your church family. Pastor Daniel is going to teach about the danger of losing contact with God. It may be as dramat...

If you’re like most people, your life is a jumble of events rushing at you at seemingly increasing speed. “Where’s the time gone?” you ask yourself way too often. Then you promise yourself that you’re going to slow things down and put aside the trivial things and focus on what you think is important in your life. And Pastor Daniel’s going to talk about setting your priorities, too – but he’s going...

Ever since Cain talked back to God, because Cain thought God’s requirements for sacrifices were too ‘strict’, mankind has fought against God’s plans for their lives. You can see it everywhere today – people rebelling against God’s clear rules, even among those who claim to be disciples of Jesus. The thrust of Pastor Daniel’s teaching today, using Psalm nineteen, is that we must allow God’s word to...

How often do you read the Bible? Weekly? Daily? Never? Well, hopefully, you didn’t answer “never”. The Bible is the most universal way for God to communicate with you; if you want to know some of the personality of God, it’s found in the Bible. And one of the things that the Bible talks about – and Pastor Daniel’s going to teach about today – is the availability of God to you. You’re going to disc...

Lots of people come to have a relationship with Jesus because of a crisis in their lives. They realize that they’ve gone as far as they can with their own wisdom, and they’ve run out of good solutions. And Jesus is happy to welcome them into His kingdom and to give them eternal life. But Pastor Daniel’s going to be teaching that there’s so much more than being saved from eternal judgment; they’ve...

We’ve all grown up the way we’ve grown up, right? The way we talk, the words we use, our view of the world, and how we look at things like work or school – much of that is learned from our upbringing. And we think it’s all okay…or maybe most of it. But as Pastor Daniel’s going to be teaching, sometimes the way we do things bumps up against God’s teachings in the Bible. It’s at that moment that you...

Have you heard of what’s called ‘delayed gratification’? It’s the idea of putting off something good with a view of a greater reward in the future. And Pastor Daniel’s going to talk about that in his teaching today. You’ll learn that this concept is one that God encourages His followers to use a lot. The system of the world pretty much hates the idea. Instead, it tries to get you to grasp everythi...

When the stuff hits the fan in your life, how do you feel? Do you feel like you’ve got to figure it out yourself? Do you rely on your own smarts and wisdom? If so, Pastor Daniel’s going to tell you that you’re doing it all wrong. The God of the Bible has another plan and can give you not just better help, but the perfect help that you need. You’ll learn that because God knows the future, He also k...
