Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

The world tells us that what we have is ours, that we own things, time, and talents. According to the Bible, however, this just isn't true! Pastor Daniel today reminds us that all we have has been given to us by God to take care of for Him. Everything, and everyone, belongs to Him, and He gives and takes away as He sees necessary. If we begin to view our lives as being caretakers of God's items, w...

When we feel the sting of judgment from someone else, it's easy to justify retaliation. We tend to want to treat them the way we were treated! Pastor Daniel today reminds us that this isn't the way of a Jesus follower! When we are mistreated, we are told to do the opposite! We should love first, showering them with kindness and generosity, treating them with grace. Jesus did this for us, and as we...

Pastor Daniel approaches a difficult but necessary topic in today's message. Judgment is seen everywhere, and it's sadly one of many people's first responses to any situation. Pastor Daniel warns us that by passing judgment on someone, we are putting ourselves in the place of God. We are in essence claiming that we have the right to set standards! God has already made a standard, and without Jesus...

Today's message challenges us to think about our needs in a new way. The Lord's Prayer includes a section on asking God to provide for us, but often we take what is provided and look to that for our security. Our earthly status becomes more important than God! Pastor Daniel reminds us to accept the blessings God gives us, relying on Him to provide what we need, and still stay focused on what His p...

God has used people for generations to advance His Kingdom on earth. After Jesus rose from the dead and returned to Heaven, His disciples began to turn the world upside down! If they can do it, we can too! Pastor Daniel encourages us today to seek God in prayer, asking Him to show us how He wants to use each of us to make a difference right here on earth! He has a great plan for each person, and w...

The Lord's Prayer is something many are familiar with, Christian and non-Christian alike. In today's message, Pastor Daniel discusses the purpose and vital need for prayer by dissecting Jesus prayer template. He reminds us first and foremost that God is to be the focus, not just of our prayers, but of our lives. God has a great adventure planned for each person, and we won't know what it is withou...

Before Jesus died on the cross, we were slaves to sin, and nothing could break us free. Jesus death, however, broke that bond forever! Pastor Daniel reminds us today that we have been set free, if we acknowledge this and turn our lives to Jesus. Because we have been set free, we also need to seek to share that freedom with others, be it spiritual freedom from sin through Jesus, or the physical and...

Today's grab bag of topics all have one very central theme in common – the Gospel message of Jesus. Pastor Daniel wants us to remember today that Jesus life, death, and resurrection wiped our sin slate clean. By placing our trust in Jesus, we are no longer guilty of our sins, and we become children of God! We have a Heavenly Father who loves us and blesses us beyond belief, and we will one day be...

Suicide, one of today's varied topics, is a sensitive subject, and Pastor Daniel wants to remind anyone listening to seek help immediately if they are having suicidal thoughts. He also encourages all of us to cling to Jesus as our source of strength in this life! Without Jesus, our lives would have no meaning. With Jesus, we can live freely in His abundant grace and love, discovering with Him a ne...

Today's message takes a look at the law in the Bible, how Jesus came to fulfill the law, and what that means for us today! We're reminded again and again that following the law doesn't get us a place in God's Kingdom – only Jesus death and resurrection accomplishes that for us! Pastor Daniel reminds us also that even though we are saved, that doesn't give us a ticket to do whatever we like – we ob...

We are saved by Jesus death on the cross, and only by that. However, some people still think they need to strive for perfection, thinking what they can do will earn them points with God, or secure their place in Heaven. Pastor Daniel today gives us the Bible's take on this, reminding us that anything we do to gain favor with God is and will forever be fruitless! Only by accepting Jesus free gift o...

We each have differing opinions on what the Bible teaches about things such as tattoos, food, and drinking alcohol. In today's message, Pastor Daniel shares with us that our views on these topics should not cause us to judge those with differing views! However, we also need to be sensitive to the potential of harming another with our opinions! We must always seek to love others first, even if it m...

There seems to be churches everywhere you turn. Different sizes and preferences are available to anyone and everyone. Hopefully, they all have the Gospel message in common, but Pastor Daniel today shares with us the real meaning of being a church family. We don't have to agree on every single detail about living to be connected! Instead, we must live as a family seeking Jesus together, despite our...

It doesn't matter what sin we commit, it is still sin and it still separates us from God! Pastor Daniel today wants us to understand this as he discusses the topic of homosexuality today, and he also wants to remind us that every sin is still covered by Jesus! We ALL need Jesus sacrifice on the cross to make us clean! The Gospel message should be our focus as we discuss any difficult topic with an...

The topic of homosexuality is definitely one that is widely debated, but also an important topic that Christians need to dig deeper into! Pastor Daniel approaches the subject in today's message from the Bible's point of view, with the message of the Gospel at the forefront, and with compassion for everyone! By doing this, he hopes we will all be able to decide what the Christian response should be...

There are many people in the world who have not yet found their significant other, and some who may never find that person! If that describes you, Pastor Daniel doesn't want you to be discouraged today! In fact, we are all reminded today that singleness is an opportunity to jump fully in to God and His purpose for us in the Kingdom! Use the time you have now to discover God's plan for your life, a...

Pastor Daniel's message today discusses the value placed on relationships in the Bible. Not only does Jesus give us plenty of information about what marriage should be, He also gives us a deeper message about what our relationship with Him should look like. Jesus is always faithful to His church...His bride...and we too are called to be faithful to Him. We are part of a covenant that will not be b...

The world has a set of standards that they claim are important. Certain achievements are regarded as successful in the eyes of the public, and many strive to build their lives on those things. These things aren’t lasting, though, and will never fulfill our hearts desire! Pastor Daniel today encourages us to instead build our lives on the rock of Jesus. His path for our lives may not match the worl...

Jesus gives us two options in today’s message. On one hand, we can choose the wide gate, which comes with an easy road that the world approves of. In the end, it won’t satisfy, and may lead to destruction. Pastor Daniel encourages us to choose the other gate – the narrow one that is Jesus! This path won’t be easy, but we will have Jesus walking along side us, and in the end we will find abundant b...

Pastor Daniel today acknowledges how common worry is in everyday life, but he also reminds us that Jesus has provided an alternative! Instead of allowing concerns to shape our day, we can turn to Jesus! He has promised to provide everything we need, and He always keeps His promises! No matter what may happen in our lives today, we can know that Jesus is in control! Trusting Him will free us from a...

Who is the master over your life? Is it worldly success and wealth? Or is it God? Pastor Daniel asks us these questions today, leaving us with much to think about! If we are striving to be as successful as possible in our time here on earth, we will find that it consumes our lives! Instead, if we allow God to work through us and guide our path, we will see His love unfolding in the lives of others...

The things we do here on earth reveal where we are storing our treasure. If we are focusing on great worldly achievement, our treasure is being stored here on earth, where anything can destroy it at a moment’s notice! Instead, Pastor Daniel suggests today that we focus on God’s agenda for us on earth. As we serve Him and seek to share His love with everyone around us, we will find our treasure bei...

Jesus demonstrated throughout His life a new and radical way of dealing with adversity. His generosity and love created change wherever He went! His ultimate gift of love was to die on a cross for every person’s sins, freeing us to live as He did! Pastor Daniel today encourages us to let Jesus love fill us up and influence how we too deal with the difficulties in life. The more of Jesus we take in...

Today’s message introduces a radical shift in how we deal with problems that arise in our lives. When we face difficulty, Pastor Daniel encourages us to head back to the root of Christian living to reflect Jesus in all we do and say. Jesus spoke of a different way of responding to adversity, and demonstrated it daily in His own life! This response is vastly different then what the world tells us t...

Jesus completely changed the way we as humans lived when He came to earth to die in our place for our sins! His love for us led Him to a cross, and we were set free to live in His grace! Pastor Daniel reminds us today that this love is not meant to be hidden away. Everywhere we go, we need to display Jesus love and life mission for all to see. Our love for Jesus should be contagious – people shoul...
