Light of the Nations' Foursquare Church in Denver Podcast

When you bring up Revelation you usually get one of two responses. Either they are afraid of Revelation because it is too scary or they are too into Revelation and focus too much on it. What is Revelation talking about? It is full of so many interesting things. It is a revelation of Jesus Chrict. It is actually a book of worship. Whoever reads the book of Revelation will be blessed. We aren’t goin...

Everyone has a story and a song. A theme that God is bringing forward through your life. Jesus had a normal Jewish upbringing. He began his education at age 6. This is called Beth Sefer. The purpose is to learn the Torah, the law. The Torah is the first five books of the Old Testament. Many Jewish boys will memorize the entire Torah during this time. At age 10 he went to a different school, the Be...

Jesus centered His ministry around the town of Capernaum which was located along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This story is taking place in Jesus' home. Maybe 1000 people packed into his house. So many that you couldn't even get near the door. Some men, we don't know how many but it must have been at least four, brought a sick and paralytic man to see Jesus. These men were not t...

The Father is preparing a great feast in heaven. Who is invited? Everybody! "Watu Wote!" But who will be there? Only those who accept the invitation. Some people want to have their own party on their own terms. But there is only one way to go in. By the Father's invitation. In this story there s another older brother. He paid the debt for the younger brother so that he could come ba...

The church is a body. Every body has three parts, flesh, soul and spirit. So the church functions in three diminsions also, body, sould and spirit. Our worship has an object - God. If you want your worship to be right, you must understand the object of your worship. You must have knowledge of the object of your worship. God is not material nor is He a psychological object. He is a spirit. God is n...

When we study the parable of the two sons one big surprise we may come up with is how similar the two sons really are: Both reject the father, both are interested only in their own agenda and not their love for their father ~the father reaches out to both of them What does our church consist of? Will I be attracting younger brothers or are we full of elder brothers? Part two of the story is why he...

Many lifelong Christian believers feel they understand the basics of the Christian faith quite well and don’t think they need a primer. Nevertheless, one of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the gospel is that you are certain that you do. conclusion: The abundance of His love for us leads to our being able to act out of abundance in generosity and love acceptance and f...

There is more that God has to give that we have the capacity to receive. The theme for this year is the abundance of God. Sometimes we close down how much God has to give us for a variety of reasons. Mostly due to our thoughts about what we deserve. God came to give me abundant life. Psalms 16:11 says “You lead me in the path of life.” The path of life is the path that God wants to give to us. The...

When I became a new believer, I found that I had new leadership in my life. I wasn’t looking for it and didn’t even think about it. But as I studied more about Jesus I found myself thinking about things from the perspective of “What would Jesus do?” As I learned more about Him, I started thinking about Doing what Jesus did. I couldn’t perform miracles and I couldn’t walk on water. If you are inter...

Abundance means you have more than enough. The Lord wants us to think we have more than enough. Thinking this way changes how you deal with people and problems. Jesus said if you have two coats, give one away! My father is a rich king who owns everything. If he wants me to give things away, I should not give only a little bit. This is true for both money and time. Did Jesus ever say he was too bus...

A Preview of some future discussions regarding communion. This is a very important topic that has some real consequences. Fortunately, the Bible has good instruction on the topic. Presented in English and Swahili.

Pastor Andy discusses stroke and the consequences and proper response. The Church we have today is the result of our works. The world is in the church. Therefore the church has become a waiting room for hell. All sorts of behavior that is in the world is also in the church. We need to do something about this or surely we will perish. God can fix the problem but he won’t without our request. God wi...

Guest pastor Balbin Nzapa and Gladys Nzapa Pastor Balbin is the Senior Pastor for The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah Church in Aurora, CO. Adam had a responsibility to take care of the garden of Eden. Adam did not...

We need to begin to learn how to lift up praise with people of other cultures and in other languages because it will bring a blessing on us. God is light and there is no darkness in him at all. If we keep doing the deeds of darkness and we say we are in the light, we are lying. We can’t have fellowship with God and do the things of darkness. Jesus is the light of the world and the light of the wor...

Instead of looking at Christmas from the point of view of Matthew or Luke, we are looking at it from the point of view of Revelation. We are looking for Jesus to come the second time. Ancient Jewish scholars thought it might be two different messiahs, but we know that it is one messaiah coming two times. The first time as a lamb and the second time as a lion. We call this season Advent. It is the...

Jesus came the first time born as a baby but he is coming again. This time as a King! Some prophesies seem to point to two messiahs, one as a lamb and another as a lion. But NO! It is one messiah coming two times. The jews were looking for the King but instead got the baby. They didn't really pay attention to the baby. He didn't seem important. But we celebrate his coming as a baby! We n...

"Honor your fatherand mother" This is the first commandment with a promise: "that it may go well with you and give you a long life." Do not provoke your children to anger but raise them up in the training of the Lord. Train your children to know the ways of...

The world we are living in today is a consequence of the decision of Adam. It is not the plan of God. Adam decided to hide rather than face God after his disobediance. He is not the only one. We all make the decision to hade rather than face God. The devil is always there to remind you of your sin. When we hide, it takes us away from God. Farther and farther each time we disobey. Then the devil ca...

You will never find a peaceful place on earth. Everywhere you go there is trouble and strife. Sin and murder! But God know a peaceful place, a refuge. Psalms 91:1-4 The refuge is Jesus. He will never let you down or disappoint you. Your faith in Jesus is the key to your refuge! Trust Jesus! John 15 Don't wait for trouble to come before you enter into the refuge. Dwell there always!

What is the relationship between parents and their children supposed to be like?

NIV Eph 6:4 "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instr...

Forgiveness is the key to healthy relationships. Forgiveness is how we triumph and have victory in our own lives. Unforgiveness puts you in a cage. We become prisoners to our own unforgiveness. But as soon as we are willing to forgive, the door opens and we are released. In the Lord's Prayer Jesus linked our forgiveness to our willingness to forgive others. That's hard. But my sin agains...

There is a war between fear and love. Love will win in the end but it is a battle to the death. Most relationship problems stem from fear. Fear is the access point for the thief who comes to kill, steal and destroy. Fear is an agreement with the devil. Men must be willing to die for their wives. The way marriage works is for a woman to respect her husband and for a man to love his wife. Presented...
