Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

The point of the Apostle Paul’s letters, and really the point of Christianity, is that you can’t save yourself. In a society that promotes self-help and self-promotion, that can be hard to hear! It can also be a relief, though, as Pastor Daniel will explain in today’s message. This means that you don’t HAVE to do anything to be saved - Jesus already took care of the hard part! You just need to bri...

As a follower of Jesus, you know the truth of Christ. You know that without Him, you would never be good enough. With that knowledge in hand, you then need to TELL someone! You can’t keep Salvation a secret - when you do, the enemy wins! Pastor Daniel will urge you in today’s teaching to remember that Salvation is for everyone - all genders, all ages, and all nationalities. Go tell the world what...

You are a sinner in need of a Savior. That’s a fact that Pastor Daniel wants you to remember as you begin today’s message! Every person on earth has done more wrong than right, and there’s no way to reach Heaven on your own. But there’s a solution - Jesus came to save you! Through His death on the cross, you have an option to leave your sins behind and start a new life. Jesus has taken care of it...

You’ve probably done little things in your life you’re not proud of, but you wouldn’t label them as “big sins”. You might even think of yourself as a pretty decent person in comparison to others! What happens, though, when you compare all of your actions to your perfect and Holy Creator? Pastor Daniel’s message today will challenge you to look at sin through God’s eyes, not yours. He'll remind you...

Who’s standard are you basing your scale of justice on? Is it God’s, or the world’s? In today’s message, Pastor Daniel will describe the difference between the two, and point out why God’s form of justice is the only purely perfect system. People in the world judge others based on what they know and what they perceive to be true, but God sees it all! Instead of falling into step with people around...

Getting something wrong doesn't exactly make you feel good about yourself. You know you've let someone down, but the world doesn't promote making that public knowledge. Today Pastor Daniel will take the opposite approach and urge you to apologize immediately when you mess up! This shows honesty and humility to others, and reminds you that you still need your Savior! And Jesus will be there with th...

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel superior to someone? It could be because of their background, their religion, or their current circumstances, but sometimes you may get the impression that you're better than they are. The Bible calls that self-righteousness, and warns you to not allow it to take root! Pastor Daniel today will encourage you to remember that you're not perfect either...

Passing judgement on others is not the job of Jesus disciples. The perfect Savior of the world doesn't need your help at all to discern what's right and wrong in someone's heart! Pastor Daniel today will remind you that when you do judge someone, your revealing that your heart is hard toward others. Don't let that be the case in your life – ask Jesus to work in you to open and soften your heart, a...

Truth isn't subjective. Just because you think your truth is right doesn't mean it is! In today's message, Pastor Daniel will remind you that there really is an absolute truth, despite the world's attempts to deny it. While Jesus was on earth, He set the standard for living that His Father created at the beginning of time, and He expects you to follow it as well! It's a good standard that's differ...

The truth of God's Word can be seen everywhere in the world! You have instincts of morality, even if you've never heard of Jesus. However, the truth can easily be suppressed when whatever is wrong wins in tempting you. You then try to ignore revelation, and as Pastor Daniel will share today, you become ungrateful for what God has already given you! Instead, let the truth of God guide you, and than...

No one is perfect – even you! That shouldn't be news to you, though. The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and deserved the judgement of your perfect God. Pastor Daniel will share today what the problem is in society, though – the truth is being suppressed! When judgements are made based on sin, this specific truth is being set aside. This will never lead to peace or to Jesus, and isn'...

When you do something that goes against your relationship in Jesus, often times you’ll feel a check in your spirit. This is what’s known as conviction of your sins. Pastor Daniel will remind you today that this is a good thing, but what you do with that conviction is more important. You can choose to ignore the feeling and continue in that sin, or you can confess it to Jesus. He'll forgive you of...

Who are you? That’s a question Pastor Daniel will pose to you today while introducing you to the book of Romans, a letter from the Apostle Paul. Paul identified himself well in his opening salutations, assuring anyone who was reading that his authority was not self made. Everything he said and did was because of what Jesus had done for him. Jesus needs to be the one setting your identity as well,...

The generation of Israelites who weren't among the first to enter the Promised Land didn't cling to God as readily as their parents. Their lack of faith led them deep into destructive lifestyles. Today Pastor Daniel will be urging you to learn from their mistakes, but also to seek out the generations of devoted Christ followers who came before you. Take their testimonies of God's faithfulness to h...

One day, you might be fully on fire for Jesus! Your passion is infectious and you feel like you can change the world! Another day, though, you may have something else drawing that kind of passion out of your heart, and Jesus takes a back seat. Today Pastor Daniel will acknowledge that shift in priority, but will also challenge you to identify its root cause. Jesus should always hold the place of u...

There's a lot in the Bible that doesn't make sense, and today's passage is no different! You could dismiss it as fiction or as a God who's changed over time, but that wouldn't be accurate. God hasn't changed from the Deity you'll meet today in Judges! Pastor Daniel will encourage you to take what you can't understand in Scripture to God, though, and realize that He's still the good and loving Crea...

When you confess your sins to Jesus and accept salvation for your life, you're immediately made into something new. The old sins that held you down have no power over you anymore! Jesus isn't forcing you into His Kingdom, however. You get to choose to step into this new life, knowing there's battles that need to still be fought. Pastor Daniel will share today that your participation now will bring...

What's your role in the battles you face? Are you supposed to take complete control and fight to the death? Pastor Daniel will share today how that's definitely not an accurate assessment! God does want you to participate in this life, the good and the bad, but He doesn't expect you to fight alone. He also isn't waiting for you to come up with the correct solution before He acts. God has something...

God has already won the big battles in your life. He's gone ahead of you and done things you probably can't even imagine! Being a devoted follower of the Lord simply brings that kind of benefit! However, as Pastor Daniel will remind you in today's message, there's still little skirmishes that will pop up in your life. The enemy is going to throw obstacles in your way. Remember to lean on your Crea...

Acting in faith is hard. It requires courage in spite of feeling inadequate, and trust that your Savior will do as He's promised! Today Pastor Daniel will share, though, that you're not alone. You have numerous stories of people walking in faith, despite not having a guarantee! These people's stories are meant to be an encouragement to you as you too step into Jesus story for your life. Let their...

Jesus didn't travel the entire world to share His message of new life. He didn't really even spend time outside of His own country! Yet His Salvation is changing lives across the globe thousands of years later! In today's message, Pastor Daniel will encourage you to not neglect the small things you're doing for the Kingdom. You may think they're insignificant, but Jesus can use anything to radical...

Is there some area of your life that you're not being the most faithful in? It could be in your job, your family, your health, or even your relationship with God. Pastor Daniel will be challenging you in today's message to not let the important points of integrity in your life slip! With God's help, identify the areas in your life that you need to work on, and then take action! Do something to mak...

What gifts and talents do you have? You may be a hard worker, good at sports, kind and generous to others, or whatever is unique to you. Did you know that those things have been entrusted to you by your Creator? Pastor Daniel will explore this idea today and will be encouraging you along the way to use your talents to serve God! He made you who you are for a reason, so do your best to honor His un...

There's more than one son in the story of the prodigal son, and more than one attitude that needs to be addressed. Today Pastor Daniel will share how the response of the older brother is a concern all members of the church need to be aware of! When you begin to let your personal preferences stop you from celebrating another's success, pride and selfishness are ready to invade your heart. Instead,...

Imagine someone you love has left you. If that person were to return again, what would your reaction be? Joy! Your relief and happiness at being in their presence again supersedes all other emotions in that moment. Now take that reaction and multiply it by a million, and you might get close to what God feels when His children return to Him! Today Pastor Daniel will be celebrating the joy that come...
