The Fulcrum Center

This is a new spin on a previous Bible Time. If there is anything you are using to put before God, STOP! Whether it is an object, a prayer to a saint or angel, whatever you are looking for, stop this behavior and put God first.

Are you a super fan or are you a child of God? One can wear a jersey, the other gets all of the benefits.

What is the line between too much discipleship and too much grace? There is a balance that we need to strike so we don't push too hard but also so we don't fall into the false hope of just coasting our way to glory. God has grace, but demands obedience too. Jesus came to change us. Will you let Him?

Everything you hear sounds great until someone else speaks something different. Are you willing to admit that maybe you were wrong or are you able to gently and lovingly prove that you are correct?

In Mark chapter 9, a man says to Jesus, "If you can" and Jesus replies that all things are possible for anyone who believes. But how do we obtain this faith? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. So, how do we hear? We embark on this journey today with a lesson on how to hear from God.

In Luke 9:50 Jesus tells His disciples that if someone is not against us, then he is for us.  He says this in response to the disciples trying to cast a demon out of someone in Jesus' name.  This comment by Jesus tells us many things.  There can be people that seem to have the spirit of God but do not, but also tells us that if anyone doesn't agree with us, it doesn't mean they are not with us.  T...

No, not that cross. Probably not that one either. What does it mean to take up your cross and follow Him? Let Him tell you what it means so you don't unnecessarily carry a burden you were not meant to carry.

We start out talking about what it means to truly abide in Him and it goes from there.

Galatians 5:13 starts out by telling us to not use our freedom for harming others and finishes with if we continue to bite one another, we will devour ourselves. But what is the root cause of this? Most often it is hiding something else we can't overcome alone.

We all have moments where we do what we shouldn't do. Aren't you glad no one is going to stone you over it? On the other hand, you have a stone in your hand ready to throw it at someone? Let's turn to John 8 to see what Jesus did.

Abraham said to his servants that "He and the boy would return" this message of faith was a first step in what would become forever sealed in the Bible.  When we speak our faith, we do many things.  This message helps us understand. 

When someone "gets what they deserve" what do we call that? I bet you are saying the word I am thinking of but as Christians, should we really be saying that word? What does it really mean and is it a real thing? Tune in to find out.

2025 can be a great year. But it won't be because of the works we do but rather by the faith we exhibit and how we connect with God in that faith. 8 items are listed that we can work in faith to approach God more this year.  Cast your faith out and bring in a big fish. 

Where is the line between spiritual and going to far? What about those that deny all spiritual matters? Where is the balance? Two pastors sit down to discuss this around the theme of dreams and visions.

The commercials have started again and they are good. He really does get us and He wants us to just talk to Him. Tell Him everything and then let Him work with you where you are and change you right where you are right now.

Chad is surprised by some research he did regarding the dichotomy or trichotomy of the human life. He turned to GotAnswers but we debate and refute what he found. This is a deep conversation and one you are going to want to listen to.

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Bottom line is that God can do anything at all. Romans 12:2 says it all.

Recorded in morning worship 12/29/2024, a sermon from Philippians 3:10-14 where Paul says I forget what lies behind and I look forward to the upward call in Christ Jesus.  As we put 2024 behind us, let's look forward to what is coming in 2025. After all God said "I AM" and not I was.  So we too should not dwell on the past. 

Heart or head knowledge? Which do you use and when and do they conflict? Where does faith come in? Can we move any mountain or "This Mountain" are topics we discuss in this very deep dive episode.

Happy New Year 2025 from Bible Time

Today we discuss the origins of Christmas for our final episode of 2024. Note: If you listen to Bible Time on the audio podcast there are changes coming in 2025. The channel will now carry the name "The Fulcrum Center" and will have uplift, Bible Time, and sermons listed on it. The uplift channel is being removed so UpLift will now join Bible Time on the audio channel. Not much different from the...

It's the holiday season and the hustle and bustle is upon us. God calls us to take a break at times and what better way than to do this than to reflect on the coming prince of peace, wonderful counselor, eternal father, Jesus Christ.

When you are in the midst of the storm, what do you do? Psalm 37 has an answer for us.

Some people think it is unfair that someone can spend their whole life as a heathen and not serve God and minutes before death accept Him and go to heaven. God sees differently according to a parable told by Jesus.

Did I commit the unforgivable sin? We often take this message from Jesus out of the context in which it was stated and fear that we may have done it. The very fact that we are wondering is often an indication that we didn't do it.
