Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Pastor Daniel will ask us today to examine our attitudes toward the things of God. Is what we value and how we feel about it mirroring that of our Creator's? And do we really believe that He'll do all He's said? Our attitude needs to line up with our Heavenly Father's as we move forward in our walk with Him! We'll learn today from the story of Rahab, who knew what God could do, and was still ready...

In today's message Pastor Daniel will introduce us to an unusual soldier in God's army – a woman named Rahab. Rahab didn't fight in a battle, nor was she an Israelite, but her bravery and cunning saved two men and earned her and her family life. She had a sinful past, yet God allowed her to find a place in the lineage of the only sinless man to come to earth – Jesus! If God could use Rahab in a po...

Today's message will be a powerful encouragement – be strong and courageous! This phrase that Pastor Daniel will share from the book of Joshua is something we need to apply to our lives. It's likely God has a task for you that's going to stretch you way out of your comfort zone. Maybe He's already given you a hint to what it actually is! In any case, don't go into the task with fear and trembling....

It's true that we're called to serve God and serve other people. That's part of what being a Christian looks like. In today's message, though, Pastor Daniel will tell us of another name given to those of us who choose to give our lives to Jesus – friend! God wants an intimate relationship with each one of us, and because Jesus took away our sins by His death on the cross, we get to have that! We'r...

As we step into roles of service for Jesus, we need to be careful where the glory is going. People may notice what we're doing and may praise us for our work, but Pastor Daniel warns us in today's message not to keep the credit! We're only able to serve Jesus because of what He's done in our lives! Jesus knows that if we start to do things under our power, we'll fail. Only with His help and grace...

Jesus is always about healing and restoring! That's the whole message of the Gospel – taking what's broken and offering hope and new life. In today's message, Pastor Daniel will share that we're supposed to be part of this effort! Jesus changed our lives, and now we need to do the same for the world! Instead of looking for the faults and failures of people, we should be instilling truth in love as...

Discouragement comes easily when we read the newspaper or hear the stories of tragedy. It's easy to let the pain and trials of the world get us down! Pastor Daniel will tell us today, though, that these things aren't what God intended for the world! We may grieve the evil we experience, but we need to also allow the hope of the Gospel to fill us with joy in the midst of it! We know Jesus is coming...

This world is only temporary, and there is a life beyond it. That life is being revealed through us, though, right now! In today's message, Pastor Daniel will explore what it means to be a preview for the coming reality when Jesus returns and establishes His Kingdom. If you're a follower of Jesus, you're His witness to the world! You're revealing to those around you who Jesus is and what eternal l...

No matter what's happening right now in the world, we can have peace and live in hope. That may seem like too difficult a thing to grasp today, but Pastor Daniel wants us to embrace this reassurance from Jesus! The world we know, filled with chaos and pain and confusion, is just a temporary place! One day, Jesus will return and wipe out evil. One day, if we're committed to being His followers, we'...

God wants us to shift our focus from ourselves to the hurting world around us. This contradicts what society tells us, though! Instead of making our own selves the center of the universe, we must jump into God's will and path for us! Pastor Daniel today tells us that's why fasting is important, and an act of resistance. We're fighting against worldly mindsets, choosing to voluntarily deny somethin...

As we continue to study the prophecies of Isaiah in this series, Pastor Daniel wants to take a moment and explain what a prophet's job actually was, and how it applies to us. In today's message, we'll come to understand that a prophet took people out of their comfort zones. They told the truth, no matter how harsh the lesson was! God desires for all of His people to seek Him first, setting aside p...

As followers of Jesus, we're called to follow Him and do His work here on earth. This isn't just an individual calling – it's meant for every member of the body of Christ. As a church, we will be very effective in ministry when we're diving into serving Jesus and loving the world. Pastor Daniel encourages each of us today to find our place of serving within our church family, and unite as a body t...

The church functions not only as an army for God, but also as a place of recovery and restoration. God is our great physician who heals our sins and our hurts. We act as nurses and doctors as well, but as Pastor Daniel will remind us in today's message, we can't stay in the hospital. We're being renewed, and we need to step into our new life and join the fight against the enemy. There's a war bein...

God could have created the world and the people in it and then left it alone, but our Heavenly Father is nothing like that! Today, Pastor Daniel will share just how deeply God cares for each of us, and will offer us an invitation from the Creator to get to know Him in a deeper and much more personal way. God has an incredible, abundant life planned for each of us, but we have to be willing to put...

Pastor Daniel has an incredible invitation to extend to you today. This invitation comes from Jesus, and is available every single moment of every single day. It's open to everyone, no matter who you are or what you've done in the past! And if you choose to accept it, your life will be changed forever. What's the invitation? It's to spend your life in relationship with Jesus, who came to take away...

Pastor Daniel will teach an interesting concept today – as we grow in our walk with Jesus, we need to actually become more like children! The closer we draw to our Savior, the more we'll learn to trust Him for everything! He will always provide what we need, even when we can't see how. His love saved us from death, and will support us in life. Just as a child trusts without question, so to do we n...

Becoming more like Jesus isn't easy. It's a transformation that takes time and hard work, but the process is worth it! Pastor Daniel will share today that while we're being changed by Jesus, we don't have to hide it. We shouldn't pretend like we have it all together and that we're perfect – we're not! Especially in a church family, we need to be honest about our struggles, and allow Jesus to shine...

The prophecy we'll learn about today in the book of Isaiah is written in future tense, and as Pastor Daniel will share, was something the people of Israel still had to look forward too. For us, though, these promises are current! Jesus DID come, and He DID shepherd His people! He gave hope and life and comfort in the middle of strife, and He still does this for us right now! We have access to the...

Today Pastor Daniel begins a new message series exploring truths that span generations and centuries, and which still apply to us today! As we study the book of Isaiah, we'll be reminded that our Creator, the all-powerful God, is also a God of love and comfort! He has given us hope in the midst of trials, and it's our job now to share that hope with the rest of the world. When we encounter divisio...

Sometimes we look at our lives and wonder where exactly things went wrong. We're suddenly far away from God, and life has us twisted up in knots. Today Pastor Daniel tells us that it's likely we made small decisions farther back on our path that may have seemed innocent at the time, but shifted us the wrong direction. Small movements away from truth eventually lead to a mess, but Jesus will always...

Sometimes people question if God really loves them as much as He says. You may even feel that way today! You may be thinking that what you've done in your life is too horrible for God to even consider you worthwhile. But today, Pastor Daniel wants you to know that you ARE loved by God! He sent His Son to die in your place, and the forgiveness He offers covers all of your sins! No matter your past,...

As followers of Jesus, we're called to live a different life than the ones of people who don't know the Savior. This doesn't mean we develop our own persona! Pastor Daniel will tell us today that we have a model for this new life – Jesus, the One we're following! His life shows us how we should interact with others and what we should prioritize. As we develop the same characteristics as Jesus, oth...

In today's message, Pastor Daniel will ask us to examine where we're placing our priorities. We may think what we're doing is good, but does it have eternal value? God tells us that there are three things that will last forever – God, people, and the Bible. The rest is really just temporary, and will one day be gone. Today as you listen, let God point out the things in your life that maybe need to...

We can't let opposition to our faith discourage us from sharing the Gospel message! However, we also can't let ourselves be surprised when people do oppose it. Pastor Daniel will share today that persecution is part of hearing the truth! People will push back against God for many reasons, and the enemy will always be working against us. We have to keep telling people about Jesus, though, and givin...

Today's message with Pastor Daniel will have something for everyone, no matter how you feel about Jesus! Salvation is a simple message, but how we accept it and what we do when we have will cause great ripple effects through our lives. As we study the grace and love that brought Jesus to the earth to die for our sins, we'll start to see just how much we needed Him, and how patient He's been with u...
