721 Live Talk Radio

Did you know the Hebrew word for “hear” is the same word as “obey”? Jesus asked many times, “Are you listening with your heart as well as your head? Is what I am saying sinking in? Is it making a difference in your life?” How would you answer Jesus if he asked you the same questions?

Jesus gave us several very clear messages, the most important of which is “I am coming back.” Will you be ready for his return? And is there a 7 year tribulation and 1000 year aspect to his return? I say no, there is not. Tune in to find out more!

The disciples, now turned apostles, gave several sermons in the book of Acts – and none of them mentioned Jesus’ teachings, parables, or even his miracles. So what did they talk about?  Tune in to find out!

After his resurrection who did Jesus appear to and why did he appear to those particular people?  Did he have a specific message for them – and for us?

Did you know that we know a lot about the seating arrangements around the table at the Last Supper – and the teaching lessons Jesus was employed by the arrangement of who sat where?  Tune in to find out!

As we approach and prepare for Easter, we take a look at everything Easter. What is Easter?  Is it about the crucifixion and death of Jesus or the resurrection of Jesus?  What is our preparation for Easter?  In these next 3 episodes, we dive into the events and details that lead us to Easter. 

Imagine you have someone in your group – be it business, social or Bible Study - who is openly defying the rules and mores of the group. Unapologetically and unremorseful. How would you handle it? Today we look at how the Apostle Paul handled just such a dicey situation in Corinth: Tough love then soft love.

Even though Jesus admonishes us not to judge others, he does ask us to “help them take the speck out of their eye.” How do we reach out to someone to help them see their blind spot? With lots of grace, sprinkled with the truth.

Who was the worst dad in the Older Testament? In our last episode, we looked at the best dad in the New Testament- the father in Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Dad.   Today we contrast the best with the worst.

In this episode, we relook at the parable of the prodigal son and focus on who it may really be about....the dad?  We look at it from a different perspective as we continue in our series on judging.

Are you in a prison of a judgmental heart? What if you could free yourself and learn to live freely in the non-judgmental Kingdom of Jesus’ world? The key to unlock the door? Look in the mirror before judging.   

October 7, 2023 - The Hamas terrorist attack was Israel’s “911.”  I, Sam, a Christian, traveled with 14 Jews, none of whom I knew beforehand, but all of whom I came to love, to war-torn Israel on a “solidarity“ trip.  Join me as I relate my experiences with freed hostages, wounded soldiers, military officers and high ranking government officials, amidst earth-shaking artillery, and emotionally dra...

What if you could have a heart that never judges? A heart that is open, soft, free of negativity? Wouldn’t that be a wonderful to live.  Today you will see the ill effects of judging and how to start to free yourself from its prison.

When a couple is getting married the man typically thinks he is adding an addition to his house (i.e. his life). But the woman thinks, “We are going to have a whole house renovation for our new lives together.” When it comes to our walk with Jesus, we tend to think the same way as the man. But Jesus wants to renovate our whole lives, not just be added on as an addition.

Are there areas in your life that are holding you back from being your best self? You have tried to rid yourself of them, but they still have a mastery over you? How to free yourself? Guardrails! Today we explore why we need guardrails, where we might need them, and what they might look like.

What does how we treat our bodies and our minds have to do with getting closer to Jesus? Tune in to find out!

If Jesus has become a part of your life, you will look different than your previous self, and people will notice. Yes, you will be changed, and even more so you will be transformed. Have you been? Are you any different? Today, we ask and answer the questions that indicate change and even transformation!

To live the A+ Life Jesus wants for us, we want to “Bump our Trajectory.” Where and how to start? Start with just that one thing. Ridding yourself finally of that one thing that you know is not helpful, that is holding you back. Or perhaps adding that one thing you know is missing.

The times in our spiritual journey when we “bump our trajectory” always enhance our growth, as well as lead to a new richness in our lives. Today we talk about how to and what it looks like to bump your trajectory.

I am the luckiest person on the planet. I am. Can you say this?  And mean it? If not, I want to issue you a challenge: Why do you think you are not? Today we will look at a wonderful Hebrew word – Dayenu. It means “It would have been enough.”When we realize all the Lord has already done for us we will begin to live a life of gratitude– Dayenu!

Jesus tells us not to judge and then advises us to look in the mirror at ourselves before we even think about judging someone else. But before he gives us this advice, he warns us of the consequences of judging others: “You too will be judged.”

When I asked the men, “Do you have a problem with judging?” - one replied, “No, actually I am pretty good at it.” That about sums it up, doesn’t it? Jesus warns us: “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged ….” Who among us is comfortable being judged in the same way we judge others? 

When I read Jesus’ parable about the four soils in Matthew 13, I see four very distinct descriptions of the men and women we have encountered over the past twenty years of 721 Ministries. And it is often not pretty.

God designed our human experience to be in partnership with him. Do you … can you possibly… think of yourself as a partner with God Almighty?? Yes you can! Tune in to see why and how!

Do you ever think of yourself as in partnership with God and with Jesus? You may be surprised to learn that this is exactly the way God set up our role in this world: Not to be employees, but actual partners. What would it look like if you learned to live this way?
