On the last day, the greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me," as the Scripture has said, "streams of living water will flow from within him." By this, he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time, the Spirit had not been given since Jesus was born. had...

You may feel like you're neutral, but God doesn't accept neutrality. Either you're for him or you are against him. Either you have received him or you are at enmity with him. The Bible says that it was just one sin that kept Adam and Eve out of fellowship with God, and it wasn't one of the seven deadly sins. They ate a piece of fruit that they were commanded not to eat. Enjoy this Christmas messag...

When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me."  Enjoy the rest of the message.  Blessings,  The Epic Life https://www.theepiclife.org

This text has kind of a special meaning for me, as many of you know, because our son was in crisis. Gosh, it seems like years ago, but it was just a few months ago, when he was medevacked out of Kauai. And we went with a real understanding that we probably wouldn't come back with him, that that was a good likelihood that he wouldn't live.   And so, as I go through this today, I'm going to be shari...

I thought that this was their kingdom that they had to defend, and John the Baptist's disciples were confused about that. But John wasn't confused, and John straightened them out and explained that the kingdom isn't their kingdom, it's God's kingdom. And however, it grows, and however God chooses to use us in his kingdom, that's his business, our business is to be faithful in building the kingdom,...

We've been, again, looking through the book of 1 John at the qualities of the authentic Christian life. And, you know, that's what living the Christian life is all about.   In fact, when I was at Kapa 'a High the other day, I had a question-and-answer time for about 15 minutes. And one of the kids said that the biggest turnoff for them is hypocrisy. That's only about, by the way, only about four k...

Last podcast, we spoke about Nicodemus and being born again. And on the heels of that, we have a very interesting story, a very interesting account of the disciples. And I've called this message "Kingdom Rivalry." And that's exactly what's going on here. Jealousy, envy, pride, all kinds of ugly sin in the kingdom of God.   And lest we get too judgmental, I have to confess myself that I struggle wi...

People in our culture just have this very negative view of born -againers. But the fact is that these people would be shocked if they realized that Jesus is the one who delivered that term. He is the one that coined that term. He is the one that said that. And they probably think it just came up out of the cultural milieu of evangelical Christianity. We kind of came up with this term of being a bo...

The Father, to make known the Father, that was why He came. Everything else is an outflow and an overflow of that.   His death on the cross, the healings, all the miracles, His training of the disciples, all of that was a subset of His primary objective, which was to make the Father known. And John, as we look at John chapter 2 today.    Enjoy the rest of this message   The Epic Life https://www.t...

I've been a little overwhelmed the last few days. You know, when you get so much on your plate, it's like you just feel like this is just one thing more than I can handle. Anybody ever feel like that? Okay, probably most of us on probably more occasions than we'd like to admit. Enjoy the rest of the message.    The Epic Life https://www.theepiclife.org

The book of John was written by the Apostle John, who was one of the primary disciples of Christ. It was always James, John, and Peter. They were kind of on the inner circle. And so John had a real close, up close and personal inside look at the life of Jesus. And he knew him very well. And he knew his ministry very well. He knew the heart of God through Christ very well. And he also, because of t...

When God is working and moving, there are many things we can do to impede and hinder His plan.  We can actually slow down what he wants to do.  There are two primary characteristics of a genuine believer.  1. Love for God, Love for others. 2. Servants Heart.  Scripture is Mark 10: 35 Enjoy the rest of the message.  The Epic Life https://www.theepiclife.org

God's design is that we make disciples.
