Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

We need relationships in our lives. From the moment we're born, we crave connection with others, and in fact fail to thrive if that need isn't met! Today Pastor Daniel will demonstrate how living relationally is vital to our growth Spiritually as well. We need other believers to support us in our faith journey, and in our physical needs as well. We in turn provide support and strength for others,...

Sometimes we don't see the results of our prayers right away. We think if we go before God and ask once, He'll provide exactly what we asked for exactly how and when we want it! God doesn't work this way, though! Pastor Daniel explains today that God does want to give good things to us, His kids! But He wants the BEST things for us, and He knows when it will benefit us the most. Until His timing i...

Life is busy! For many of us, sitting quietly is not even an option in our daily routines! However, Pastor Daniel today shares just how beneficial taking this time of stillness is to our relationship with our Creator! God speaks to us softly, in the quiet spaces where we are listening for Him. He wants us to rest in Him, and allow Him to comfort us and renew our strength. God alone can provide the...

Pastor Daniel tells us in today's message that everyone has a vertical relationship with something. People on the earth worship some kind of god, whether it's the true and living God or something they focus on instead. As we study the Bible, we realize that those whose god isn't the God of Scripture are a bit threatened by what it says! Jesus tells us plainly that there is one God, and He deserves...

We tend to want to make ourselves look good in front of others. We put on an air that says we have it all together, and we know everything we need to know! Pastor Daniel today introduces a new series examining the art of living, and in it we learn that there's a certain amount of vulnerability that needs to take place. We don't know everything, but the more questions we ask along the way, the more...

As we've already seen in Pastor Daniel's study through Numbers, rebellion definitely has an effect on the timetable God has set up! Today, we're reminded again how lack of obedience changes our involvement in God's Kingdom! If we aren't willing to follow God's task for us, whatever and whenever it comes, we're missing out on sharing Him with others, and missing the blessings that result from that!...

God functions on a very different time table than we do! We want things to happen right now, when we want it done! God sees the big picture though, and Pastor Daniel asks us to remember that today as we study the final days of Israel's wilderness wandering. Israel would have much rather done things in their timing, but as we can still learn today, God brings events around when it will benefit ever...

Though not widely publicized, miracles do still happen today! Even small moments where only God could have made a change can bolster our faith and leave us praising Him! However, Pastor Daniel reminds us in today's message that those miracles, though incredible, are not meant to sustain our faith. We need to spend time in the Bible, and in communication with God, to really have a firm grasp on His...

As we've studied the book of Numbers with Pastor Daniel, we've discovered just how faithful God is to those He loves! Today's message takes us on a quick journey through Israel's recent travels, and we see again where God has intervened in amazing ways! God has done this for us as well! If we look back at our own path, we'll see God's hand in our lives too. Remembering those moments will help us h...

The term “fellowship” is one we hear in churches all the time. We probably think it just means gathering together, or as Pastor Daniel puts it, free donuts and coffee! Today, however, we learn that the true meaning of fellowship is assisting one another, in whatever way it's needed. God has blessed each of us with talents and resources so that we can be a blessing to others. As we get to know each...

God has an incredible plan for each of our lives. This plan has the potential to change numerous lives, and to bless us beyond measure! However, this plan might take us away from what's comfortable, and definitely requires a great deal of trust! Pastor Daniel today warns us that on our journey with God, we might be tempted to stop when we feel we've reached a comfortable place. God has so much wai...

Pastor Daniel asks us an interesting question in today's message – do we project the same person at work and at church? Our lives should reflect Jesus, not just when we're around other believers, but in every moment of our day! It may not be easy to show Jesus to our coworkers, or our schoolmates, or whomever we encounter, but it's so important! People will see Jesus in us, and they'll want to kno...

Sometimes we forget that what we do to others is not only seen by Jesus, it's as if we're doing it to Him! Pastor Daniel reminds us today that Jesus loves His children so completely and thoroughly, that He feels their pain. He experiences their joys, and cries with them in their sorrow. When we show kindness to others, we're also showing kindness to Jesus! This has the potential to change the way...

Jesus love for us, His church, is the perfect example of a husband loving His wife unconditionally! While we may attempt to imitate this love in marriage and relationships, we'll never be as good at it as Jesus is with us! However, Pastor Daniel reminds us in today's message to look to Jesus first when approaching our relationships. When we focus on Him and His love for us, we'll be able to pass t...

Making a vow should not be a flippant phrase we through out in times of distress. Vows are sacred to God, and as Pastor Daniel reminds us, they are promises God intends for us to fulfill! The advice we are given today is to not make a vow at all! If we live with integrity, doing what we say we'll do, then we'll be seen as trustworthy! There won't be a need for vows, as our word will be enough. Bui...

Human nature causes us to try to take control of every situation! Even when God calls us to a task, we can find ourselves relying on what we can do to make it happen, rather than relying on God to open doors and provide support! Pastor Daniel's message today will remind us that we aren't God! He has the big picture in front of Him, and we can only see a finite portion of it. Trusting God is the be...

Have you ever considered praising God to be a sacrifice? Pastor Daniel introduces this thought today, and also reminds us that taking the time to actually praise God is something we should do regularly! It's not easy though, and will cause us to have to set our own agenda, and complaints, aside. When we praise God in the middle of the trials, though, they may start to seem less difficult, and God...

There is absolutely nothing we can do in our own power to make up for every sin we have committed and will ever commit. Our sins are too great to even attempt it! These sins, all piled together, deserve the punishment of death! Pastor Daniel reminds us today that God, in His immense love and mercy, provided His Son as the stand in for our punishment! Jesus died in our place, and by accepting this,...

The idea of giving a tithe, or a portion of our money, is to remind us that God has given us all we have. It also reminds us, as Pastor Daniel shares in today's message, that we are to trust God with every aspect of our lives, finances included! God knows exactly what we need to survive, and will always make a way when we lay aside our agendas and lean on Him. Tithing with open hearts allows God t...

God has a distinct plan for each individual, one that will bless others and share His Kingdom with the world. However, He has also given us great leaders to look up to, learn from, and be mentored by. Pastor Daniel today reminds us that we need each other to grow spiritually, and that we also need the power of the Holy Spirit filling us up and guiding our steps! Both of these, when put together, w...

Our time on this earth is fleeting, if you really think about it. We may be given a long life by the world's standards, but when compared to eternity, it's just a moment! Pastor Daniel today encourages us to turn our focus on where we will be spending eternity. If we accept Jesus free gift of Salvation, we will be with Him when we die, living the glorious life God intended. We then need to strive...

There's no way we can see our lives the way God does. He sees our future, our past, and our present, and knows exactly who we will become! Pastor Daniel reminds us today to not be discouraged by our failures, or our lack of resources. God can, and does, use everyone in His Kingdom plan, and He'll provide all we need to do the tasks He has for us! We should default to God's view of our lives, setti...

The Bible definitely isn't made up of stories of perfect people and only good events and outcomes. In fact, as Pastor Daniel reminds us today, there's several places in the Bible where people messed up, where evil took its toll, and where terrible things happened! Through it all though, God was in control, and He continually uses those who aren't perfect to advance His Kingdom. God does this today...

As we will discover in today's message, our lives will have an impact on future generations. How we follow Jesus right now not only impacts people we interact with now, but it will be seen and recognized by those who come after us! So what kind of legacy do we want to have? Pastor Daniel encourages us to ask God to lead our path, drawing us closer to Himself as we seek to do His will, so that thos...

Every person has a talent of some kind. We, however, did not pick our talents, nor did we create them! In today's message, Pastor Daniel points us to a passage of Scripture that reminds us of where our abilities come from! God has manufactured each individual with the capabilities necessary to do the job He has also created for them. We, in turn, are not to sit on our talents, but rather use them...
