The Uncommon Truth

Steve and Vicki explore the truth about Jesus' idea of salvation. His teaching draws a line between the selfish and the selfless. He keeps those who imitate Him, but those who will not obey are cut off regardless of their claims of belief in Him. How do we move forward from such strong words? How are we supposed to live to please God? Take a listen to find out!   Connect with the show: Email  unco...

This week Steve and Vicki discuss what it means to truly love Jesus. If we really want to love Him, shouldn't we find out what He likes? If our goal is to please Him, He's made it very simple, yet it can be quite difficult. Jesus says that those who love Him will obey Him. His command is to love as He has loved us, so our love for Jesus must look like us giving our lives for the benefit of those a...

This week we're away preparing for our Gift of Hope program happening in December, but we're sharing one of Steve's sermons that really hit home. What does it mean to be a real Christian? How do we know if we're stuck in religion? Since Jesus spoke so directly and harshly to the pharisees, we want to make sure we don't make the same mistakes they did.

Join Steve and Vicki as they recount their journey through christianity, and how the moments that their suffering was the greatest often produced the greatest blessings and fruit.

Jesus compares us to sheep, and Himself to a shepherd. We need to recognize His voice and learn to respond properly. There are many voices, many false shepherds, hired hands, and wolves in sheep's clothing. Although we might be quite confident in our ability to discern the voice of Jesus, it may be a little trickier than we initially assume. Join Steve and Vicki as they discuss this famous passage...

This week Steve and Vicki are diving into Jesus' teaching about childlike faith. What is it, and how do we obtain it?

Take a listen and find out!   Connect with the show: Email  uncommontruthpodcast@gmail.com w...

With Vicki being away this week, Steve and Luke dive into a heavy portion of scripture. Jesus says we can't be His disciples if we don't give up all of our possessions, pick up our cross, and follow Him. That's a pretty high standard, so how do we do it?

In our final episode of Season 4, Steve and Vicki explore James chapter 5. As we wrap up this book of the Bible, the topic of suffering with Christ is highlighted.

The warning to tame the tongue as a leader is key to ensuring there are few fires to put out.

As we dive into 1 John 2, the truth becomes very black and white. John says that when we spread any message that takes away from the gospel of Christ, we are operating in the spirit of the antichrist.
