Pilgrim's Progress

Today's broadcast is a continuation of the readings from Pilgrim's Progress, with wonderfully updated language from C.J. Lovik. If you're following along, it's chapter 2.

It's not hard but it's not easy to get to the narrow way (See Matthew 7:13-14). Don't let the devil and his minions sidetrack your journey out of the City of Destruction and to the Celestial City!

Pilgrim's Great Distress is the first chapter in the book Pilgrim's Progress. Listen as Christian makes the decision to leave the City of Destruction on today's broadcast.

It's amazing that God will orchestrate circumstances in our lives, without our direct knowledge or cooperation, perhaps for an extended time as the young man in the story today. Are you focused on bringing glory to the name of Jesus in your life?

We only come into this wonderful gift of life and peace through our repentance and our rejection of all sin! Only Jesus can bring us to this place, are you willing to ask Him to bring you there??

Hear the call from the prophet Isaiah, to believe the one who was sent to bear our sins and to open the way of salvation for all who are willing to give themselves into the hands of Jesus.

Have you entered the highway of holiness that the prophet Isaiah lays out for us in Isaiah 35? Hear the call to leave your life and to follow the almighty Jesus, who came to destroy the works of the devil in your life and mine!

Which way have you chosen to live the life that God has given you? Have you decided to give your life back to Him and to serve Jesus? It's not late for you dear one...

Jesus is coming soon and there are multiple prophecies in the scriptures. Pastor Ray looks at the prophecy laid out by the prophet Isaiah.

Today's message is a powerful teaching from Ephesians 6. Do you have your armor on?

Are you willing to humble your heart before the Lord and ask for a deeper revelation of Jesus' glory? To be shown the difference between yourself and the Lord God of heaven.

Is the Lord with you and is that evidenced by your full submission to His will and His miraculous intervention in your life?

Have you faced your Goliath since you've been walking with Jesus? If you haven't faced Him yet you will. Listen to the message and be encouraged to trust Jesus.

None of us will escape this life with some, perhaps many battles against the forces of darkness. Find out the key to the battle in today's Pilgrim's Progress broadcast.

Resist the temptation to fix your past, you can't do it. You can, however, pour out your love to another and ask Jesus to rescue them, are you willing to do that?

Have you made a decision to no longer trust in your own strength and wisdom but to simply trust and obey what God asks you to do? That's the story in a nutshell, from the life of Gideon on today's Pilgrim's Progress.

Listen as Pastor Ray continues the story of Gideon, and the subsequent deliverance of Israel, on today's Pilgrim's Progress.

It's very important to remember that the Lord has NOT abandoned us, but has called us to move out of our lives and be fully given to Him. That's the story behind the story on today's Pilgrim's Progress in the life of Gideon.

Pastor Ray begins a story on the story of Gideon and the Israelites and draws many parallels between then and now. Join us this week for a powerful series.

This is an encouraging story of the transformation of one of the "minor" prophets. May we all have the revelation of God that this dear prophet of God had.

Pastor Ray focuses today on the wonderful gift of love from God. It's not sloppy or sentimental, nor does it have strings of expectations but it's real.

Have you allowed Jesus to destroy the works of the devil in your heart or is there a residue of self that remains?

There are two worlds and we must choose to live in one of these places. Which world are you living in dear one?

Most of us have deceived ourselves by not being responsible for our own wicked behaviors and attitudes. What if you decide today to be completely honest with the Holy Spirit about what He shows in your own heart? That's where He wants to take you.

We will make a choice whether we will serve Jesus or not but it may be an unconscious decision if we do not recognize the time of his appearing in our lives.
