Light on Life Podcast

Today, we look at Paul's last reference to the 'dark life' in Ephesians four, 'greedy to practice impurity.' There is a sobering element to unrighteousness. And we, as Jesus' followers, should learn to see things as He sees them. We must love what He loves and hate what He hates. Why God Despises Impurity and Why You Should As Well, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.    

In a previous podcast, entitled 'Why Believing and Abiding Is the Key to the Happy Life,' [Part 1 of a 2-part series], we began to focus on what believing and abiding in Jesus really means. We saw that to 'believe' means to entrust oneself to God in complete confidence, with the implication of total commitment. We understood that 'abiding' means to continue in a certain state, condition, or activi...

Callousness in the spiritual life, what is it? Sensuality? why is it deadly? According to God, in Ephesians four, these are two traits that are not to be named among Jesus-followers. These two traits are part of the life you used to live and not the abundant life you should be that Jesus gave us. Why this is true is the focus of this podcast. Why Callousness and Sensuality Are Not Part of the Abun...

Everyone is looking to be happy, but how do you get to that point. Jesus gave us a clue in John's gospel -- abiding in Him.

Why Believing and Abiding Is the Key to the Happy Life, that's our focus on this week's Light on Lif...

Hardheartedness is what we are honing in on today. You know this mindset for a Jesus follower is not part of the Abundant Life or the High Life that He references. Callousness is not the way of the Christian. How can we eradicate hard-hearted thinking from our memory banks? Living the Abundant Life is the will of God for your time on planet earth. Every vestige of the old life has got to go. "Why...

The High Life in God is the life you want to live. It's the life you've been looking for. Jesus called this kind of life the 'abundant life' in John's gospel. This abundant life is what we are talking about in today's podcast, however, we are going to look at it from a different perspective. "Why the Dark Life Is Not the High Life in God." This is part two of this series and our focus on this week...

The dark life, a life apart from God, the life that you used to live before you came to Jesus, is one of Paul's points of focus in Ephesians chapter four. Paul references both kinds of life here, the high life in God and the low life in Satan. In today's Light on Life podcast, we will address 'Why the Dark Life Is Not the High Life in God.

Self-image is a vital and critical area of the human experience. By age five, studies show, children have already formed a fairly decent impression of themselves. But what if the self-image that you currently possess is not the one that God has of you? Having a negative self-image can definitely hinder God's plan for your life. How do you overcome that?

We are going to talk today about freedom, God-style! Let's look at what it is and why God's version of it is super superior to ours.

So, let's take a look at this idea in this podcast. Freedom, God-style, is our focus today: why t...

God believes in church. He believes in you being part of a local assembly. We all need to be involved in the ministry of the church because it is a ministry of people. When a church lives, it lives because the people within are vital and active. When a church dies, it withers and dies not because the brick and mortar and carpet and pews get old and begin to crack and rip and crumble. Why God Belie...

In the Book of Ephesians, and in several other places in the Bible, the Word of God alludes to the fact that there are prisons in the heart of the earth.

What Jesus Teaches about Who Is Locked Away in the Lower Regions, that's our focus on this week'...

There are others who teach that those who commit suicide have, in fact, committed this sin leaving behind loved ones to grapple with the painful thought that their loved ones did not go to heaven. What's the truth here? It's vital to know what this sin is and what it isn't so Satan d...

There is a great deal of conversation in the world today about unity. In some cases, the discussion is about the lack of it. Many seem to value it for its benefits but what is it really? In today's podcast, we take a look at unity in Ephesians chapter 4. Why the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace Matters all in this week's Light on Life.

Faith in the resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the gospel. If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then what we have is an empty message. But Jesus did rise from the dead -- there are witnesses to that fact - over 500 witnesses for that matter. So in this podcast, we set our sights on the most basic of Christian beliefs -- the resurrection of Jesus. Do You Believe in the Resurrection of Jesu...

That thought illustrates just one aspect of the power that is unleashed when you live the Bible a...

How do you get to be a strong man of God spiritually and why do you need this strength? How to Get to...

This is part two of a short series on Ephesians 3:10, where the Apostle Paul states that the great plan in the mind of God is that the church is a teaching instrument to the angelic hosts.

 Jesus is a wall breaker. By His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus broke down the wall of hostility that existed between men and races. The wall has already been torn down. Men just need to know and understand that it's so. When we come to Jesus when men give their hearts to God, the transforming love of God comes on the inside of them and changes them into the image of Jesus. So, union betwe...
