Christianliving Episodes

Acts 2:41-47, here we get a glimpse of the early church. We need to be more like this, and less like the church is now.

After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up

God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.

God wants to give you a sound mind. A mind that is at peace with God, a mind that is focused on Him, and not the world. Are you ready to receive that mind today?

Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn’t have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don’t associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.

God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.

2 Timothy 4:7, Paul is teaching that God did not give us fear. Fear paralyzes our faith and renders us useless to God.

We are looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:7 and seeing what God has called us to, and what He has called us to abstain from.

There have been posts on social media lately that has caused me to scratch my head and say “huh?” One recently was someone posted that we need to read Ephesians 5:14, this verse proves that the Bible is “woke.” Friends, this kind of false teaching is all over our world today. We must make sure we walk right in this world, we need to awaken from our sleep and pull our heads out of the sand.

Your faith is either proven or disproven by the works you do. Faith and works go together. Your works prove your faith. Your faith prove your works.

Today, we are going to look at a trial example. Trials are a part of life, and I will review what a trial is. I will also look at a real life example of someone who gone through a trial, and how they handled it.

Today, we are looking at a real life example of temptation. David and Bathsheba. Be sure to listen and see how David got carried away into sin, and find out what the consequences of that sin was.

We are told throughout Scripture the importance of prayer. We taught how to pray and how not to pray. But, the question I want to pose to you today is: Do you expect anything out of prayer. In Acts 12, we read about Peter being thrown in prison, and the church praying consistently for him. When Peter shows up at the door, the people praying for him first don’t believe it’s actually him, then are astonished at the sight. Listen to this episode, and take time to look at your prayer life and prayer...

Todays episode teaches us what True Revival is. I will give you a hint-true revival runs on the timetable of God, not mans timetable. We will discuss the definition of revival and look at some examples of revival in the Bible.

Sometimes we get a little cold. I don’t mean cold as in a lack of heat. I mean cold as in our faith grows cold. When that happens, it usually means that there is something (sin) blocking our relationship with Jesus. In this episode, we look at what it means to be revived and what is essential to being revived.

What is your affection set on? Seriously, what has your focus day in and day out? Bills? Vacation? Work? If you answer anything but Jesus, then your focus and affection is on the wrong things. If you want to build a rock solid faith in Jesus that will...

In order to build a rock solid faith in Jesus, you must first understand that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus. Confess your sins and believe in Him, and His sacrifice for your sins. That’s the only way to build your...

Another step to developing a rock solid faith in Jesus is to understand that it will not happen overnight. We must overcome sin, and we must understand that to sin is a choice. What are you going to choose today?

Jesus told Thomas to be not faithless. Today, I am teaching on what being faithless means, and how to avoid being faithless.

Luke 24:1-12. At the dawn of Resurrection Day, Jesus’ disciples had no faith. Upon hearing the news of the resurrected Jesus, the disciples didn’t believe it. Faithlessness is a problem for all of us.

What do you see when you look into the empty tomb? A former Pastor of mine asked that on Facebook the other day. It got me to thinking. In this episode, I give you 4 things that I see when I look into the empty tomb. What do you see?

Mark 5:1-20, Jesus heals a man who was demon possessed. He tells the man that he can’t come with Jesus, but instead, to go into his town and people and proclaim the great things that Jesus did for Him. Sometimes we put more importance on those who...

As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, people praised Him because of the miracles and works He had done. They were offering praise to Him. Jesus has done miracles and works in your life as well, when was the last time you praised Him?

As we continue studying the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, better known as Palm Sunday, I present a question for you to ponder, What message are you telling the world? Just like the people that lined the streets of Jerusalem and put palm branches and...
