Living Savior Podcast

Waiting can be really hard. Believers hear the promises of God and long for them to be revealed. It can seem like every benefit is in the future instead of the present. Yet even while we wait, God is providing for and producing in us blessings of his grace. Today’s Focus: When you know what heaven is like, it’s hard to wait. John’s Revelation hardly scratches the surface of what we long for. It’s...

October 25, 2020 (Pastor Zell) - Matthew 10 - 16 - 23 - "You Too Have Been Sent Out!" by Living Savior

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself.” That’s the greatest commandment, Jesus says. But what does he say to those who have failed to obey it? What shall we tell one another when the image reflected back to each of us  in this commandment’s mirror is often unloving, even hateful? Today Jesus proves that he alone is the answer. The Messiah who is both David...

How do you go about “winning” in today’s cultural climate? If a win is getting ahead in work, relationships, and in our home, how do you go about accomplishing that? Is it by finding affirmation from the people closest to us? Is it by proving our worth in our work or in our abilities? Such exalting of one’s self is the way of this world. And into that failing social norm Jesus says, “Those who exa...

October 4 - 2020 (Pastor Zell)Matthew 22:1-14 - "Called and Clothed by the Gospel!" by Living Savior

If you believe in anything of substance, your faith will be challenged by other denominations, religions, and cultural norms. The heart of Christianity has always been attacked from all sides. But our faith rests upon the only one who outlasts every power struggle, no matter what. Throughout the month of October we will see that the very things that set Christianity apart are what make it stand al...

September 6, 2020 - Jonah 3:10-4:11 - (Pastor Zell) "He's So Generous, He Wants All to be Saved!" by Living Savior

If you love God’s Word and gobble it up eagerly, what should you expect will happen to you? That everyone will applaud your devotion and welcome what you have to say? If you follow Jesus wholeheartedly; if you serve him with willing obedience; if you honor him with your behavior, what rewards should you anticipate? Wealth, privilege, an easy path through your life? Jesus tells you to expect what h...

According to the world, great faith is seen in those who dream big and pursue great goals. But since faith is only as strong as what you have faith in, such egocentric faith is only as strong as . . . you. Compare that faith with the trust that relies on God’s mercy and the whatever he provides in life. Contrast worldly faith with what we see in the Canaanite woman. She sees the Messiah, pleads fo...

Everyone has an opinion about Jesus Christ, and many are willing to express it. But what will you say about him? Should you weigh all the options and say that which is the most popular or the least controversial? Given the opportunity, the disciples made such a rock solid confession, Jesus said he would build his church on it and overcome the powers of hell with it. It stands to reason that you wi...

August 16, 2020 - Matthew 15:21-28 - "When It Seems Like God Is Saying No . . ." by Living Savior

Such stormy times! A worldwide pandemic, economic upheaval, political trauma. Not to mention the howling winds of dire news reports and the crashing waves in your personal life that threaten to sink you in your own fears and doubts. Then Jesus reaches out with his mighty hand, takes hold of you with his powerful promises, and leads you to safety. Man-made security eventually fails. Your security i...

When the Lord Jesus provided for every need of body and life, he didn’t lower his blessings through shining clouds on a glowing beam. There were no divine fireworks. He did the extraordinary while using ordinary matter. Starting with a boy’s lunch and enlisting his disciples as his distributors, Jesus showed God’s compassion as well as God’s ability to provide for all people in simple yet meaningf...

What do you use to determine value? That's often done with numbers, dollars, and other measurements, so that whenever you get more in those areas, there is greater value.  The spiritual wealth that we have in Christ puts all such value systems into perspective, because in this life there is nothing greater than belonging to our Savior. Citizens of God's heavenly kingdom gladly give up everything i...

People who do evil things are all around us. They lie. They steal. They kill. They deceive. They destroy. When they have their way, they will do terrible things to those who live in the kingdom of God. What should you do about them? Is it up to you to somehow identify them and remove them from the world? If so, by what standard should you take such action? With a simple parable Jesus assures us th...
