Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

The message of Jesus and what He means to our lives is a message that has been told for generations. So how do we make that message a part of our own lives, and use it to create change in others? Pastor Daniel begins a new series today with the hope of challenging us in our expression of the Gospel message. Jesus has radically changed our lives, and He urges us time and again to radically share th...

What are you passionate about? What drives you to bring about a change? Pastor Daniel today asks us to examine our answers to these questions and compare them to what God is zealous about. God is passionate about many things, and when we catch His zeal for them, we may find our perspective changing. The things that matter to us now may become less significant, and our motivation may begin to focus...

Today’s message brings us back to some fundamental heart issues. Some of the Israelites allowed idolatry and immorality into their lives, and the consequences for the nation were devastating. Pastor Daniel reminds us today that it doesn’t take much to allow similar problems into our own lives! Simply putting anything, regardless of size, before God creates an idol, and that idol can have devastati...

The world pressures us constantly to do what’s best for us, to strive for the promotion, or cut the corners we need to in order to get ahead. This is rarely God’s plan, however! In today’s message, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God’s timing, though not always in sync with ours, is always better and will always yield the greater result! God has a unique plan for each of us, and He will reveal His t...

As we continue to study the book of Numbers with Pastor Daniel today, we are reminded that the Old Testament communication with God was very different than it is now! Those in ancient times didn’t have the direct connection to God through the Holy Spirit that we do today. When we accept Jesus’s gift of Salvation through His death on the cross, we are given immediate access to Him through the Holy...

When we become children of God we gain access to blessings and promises that we could never imagine. Our lives may not look successful or put together from the world’s point of view, but we have love and care of our Heavenly Father, who will always be there for us, no matter the time or place. Pastor Daniel reminds us today that worldly success doesn’t last! However, building our faith and relatio...

God used a donkey to speak some hard but true words to Balaam. If He can use an animal, God can use anything to get our attention! In today’s message, Pastor Daniel asks us to open our ears to what God wants to say to us. It may come from anywhere, anyone, or even anything! It also may not be something we want to hear, but it will always be a benefit to us to listen and allow our hearts to embrace...

The dark and depressing times of our lives can seem insurmountable. We can feel alone and detached from God, and hopelessness can change our perspective. Pastor Daniel today wants to encourage us to cling to the promises of the Bible when we face the valleys in our lives! God promises to always be with us. He will take care of us, comfort us, and bring us through our pain! Our faith will grow as w...

God has tremendous plans for each of His children! These plans will benefit many, and are greater than anything we could conceive of ourselves. If we follow God on the road He will show us, we will come upon a life of blessing beyond imagination. The question is, though, are we willing to follow? Today, Pastor Daniel continues to share the journey of the Israelites, a people who were just starting...

Discouragement is going to find us as we journey along the path of life. The world is going to try to tear us down, and some days that burden seems harder to bear. Today, Pastor Daniel will share with us that even the complaining Israelites found a different perspective along their journey – they found ways to praise God! Taking time to seek out the blessings from God and thank Him for them can ch...

Words have a great impact! What we say has the power to tear people down or to build them up. Pastor Daniel reminds us in today’s message that the words we let out of our mouths are not something we should take lightly! Constant negativity in our dialogue brings with it weariness and destruction. In contrast, though, words of encouragement and love can bring new life, and can plant seeds of hope e...

Today, Pastor Daniel reminds us of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ, our Savior. Because of God’s love for us, we have a place waiting for us full of perfect love and blessings that only can be found with Jesus, yet we have no way to get there on our own. No matter how hard we try, we are sinful people! No amount of rule following or worldly achievement are enough to get to the Promised Land....

When we find ourselves at a difficult junction on life’s road, it can be extremely difficult to see the problem from a wide perspective. We tend to focus on the complications the problem has created for us, and rarely can see beyond it. Pastor Daniel encourages us in today’s message to seek God for a different view! He knows the next steps, and with His help, we can begin to change our focus and g...

God is specific. That’s a characteristic that will be evident about the Father as we listen to the instructions He gave the children of Israel. As Pastor Daniel gets into the nitty-gritty of how people should live, we’ll consider the intention behind God’s commands for us. Purification laws were meant to protect the people and allow them to thrive. We’ll find that purification through belief in Je...

When preparing food, it’s good practice to wash your hands, the food, and make sure the area you’re working in is clean. There’s a clear reason why we should follow these steps…it keeps everyone safe and healthy. Today, Pastor Daniel is going to lead us through a detailed description of the sacrifices made by the children of Israel. Not only was the process an act of worship to God, but we’ll find...

No one would serve leftovers to a valued guest, but that’s exactly what we do to God all. the. time. Even though you may acknowledge that everything you have is due to the Father, it’s much harder to put giving your firstfruits into practice. We never stop battling selfishness. Today, Pastor Daniel will challenge you to examine all the areas of life where you’re giving God the time, money, and tal...

Some callings are more visible than others, but it’s not a measure of how valuable we are to the Father. As Pastor Daniel explains the roles of the priests and the Levites, we’ll understand how every role is vital for God’s intention for us. Our lives, our talents…they’re gifts. Listen and be challenged to feel the blessing of being given a calling. Rather than being burdened, consider that the tr...

If you’ve ever been around a chronic complainer, you know how easy it is to reach your limit. There’s only so much grumbling a person can listen to. We complain to God all the time…about whatever is dissatisfying about our lives. Today, Pastor Daniel asks us to take a different approach, as we hear how God reached His limit with the children of Israel. They should have been grateful for their deli...

How many of us have jaywalked at some point and thought nothing of it? There were no cars coming, standing on the corner seemed pointless, we were smart enough to know it was safe…we can come up with all kinds of ways to justify a small transgression…but we still broke the rule. Today, Pastor Daniel teaches about why we find it hard to submit to authority, and why we should consider how God choose...

In the Bible, we tend to find judgment difficult to swallow. We want God to just be nice all the time, even though when we are personally wronged, our attitudes change. The Father is deeply hurt and offended by sin. As Pastor Daniel teaches about the penalty of sin for Korah and his followers, it’s uncomfortable. We don’t want to accept that God’s judgment can be harsh, but yet…we still value just...

Authority is God’s to give. That’s the attitude of Moses, as Pastor Daniel describes how the leader reacted as the children of Israel began to show discontent about where God had them. Instead of being faithful to what God had given, the people showed their discontent. Don’t we do that sometimes as well? We complain about our circumstances, we think we could do a better job of running things. Toda...

If you’ve ever sinned intentionally in your life, then that’s reason number one for accepting Jesus. Without Him, sin has devastating eternal consequences….and, today, Pastor Daniel will take us through the laws about unintentional and intentional sin. It’s a messy issue, but one that will be dragged into the light, just as our own sin should be. As we deal directly with the garbage in our lives,...

God asks all His children to present themselves as living sacrifices…and, given what Jesus sacrificed for us, it’s a reasonable expectation. As Pastor Daniel reminds us today, everything we have belongs to the Father. As we hear about the sacrifices offered by the children of Israel, it will be clear how the purpose is the same: to give back to God what He’s given to us. The Word gives us the stan...

Sin has consequences. We know that…but do we really believe it? Even when we’ve asked forgiveness, the fallout from our mistakes doesn’t disappear. As Pastor Daniel continues to follow the children of Israel as they dwell in the wilderness, we’ll find out why God’s character is sometimes hard to discern. We interpret consequences as harsh, but God isn’t cruel. He’s just and loving, even as His peo...

Hindsight may be 20/20, but it’s also selective. When we look at our pasts, it’s natural to want to cling to the good. As Pastor Daniel explains about the children of Israel, they were a people who forgot to consider everything God had done for them as they fretted about their circumstances. We wonder why we’re experiencing difficulty and why God would allow us to go through hardships. We have to...
