The Truth about the truth - Episode 2366

Songs can powerfully remind us of who we are in Jesus, but they can also mix truth with phrases that need biblical clarity. In this episode, we’ll explore how Scripture confirms our identity as God’s children, loved beyond measure, made in His image, and freed from the lies of the enemy. We’ll also address common misunderstandings—like thinking we earn God’s pride through performance or that He accepts us without desiring to transform us. The goal is to embrace the beauty of God’s truth while keeping our theology anchored in His Word.

Draw Near to God Winning the Battle Within - Episode 2365

James reminds us that many of life’s struggles and conflicts begin in our own hearts. We chase what we want, we quarrel, and we often seek fulfillment apart from God. But the answer isn’t found in striving—it’s in surrender. In this episode, we’ll look at how humility, repentance, and submission to God lead to true peace. When we resist the devil and turn our hearts toward the Lord, He promises to draw near to us and lift us up in His grace.

Wisdom from Above Living with Purity and Peace - Episode 2364

In a world filled with competing voices and self-centered thinking, James points us to a higher way—the wisdom that comes from above. This wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy, producing good fruit in our lives. In this episode, we’ll explore how God calls us to reject the envy and selfish ambition that lead to disorder, and instead walk in the humility and peace that reflect His character. When we seek His wisdom, we not only make better choices—we become living testimonies of His grace.

No Favoritism in the Kingdom - Episode 2361

In this episode, we dive into James 2:1–13 and confront a hard truth: partiality has no place in the life of a believer. Why do we tend to favor the rich or powerful? How does this contradict the gospel of grace? James calls us to live out our faith with integrity, showing mercy over judgment and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Join us as we explore what it means to live under the “law of liberty” and reflect the heart of God in how we treat others — whether rich or poor, seen or unseen. 🧠 Plus, we’ll walk through key reflection questions and close with a short prayer to help you apply this passage in your everyday life.

Choose Now What Will YOU do With Jesus - Episode 2358

From the crowd shouting “Crucify Him!” in Mark 15, to Joshua’s bold call, “Choose this day whom you will serve,” to King Agrippa’s near-conversion in Acts 26—Scripture reminds us that every heart stands at a crossroads. In this episode, we reflect on the urgency of choosing Jesus—not someday, but today. Indecision is still a decision. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. The question isn’t just historical—it’s personal: Will you follow Him, or walk away? Don’t wait. The choice is yours… and it matters for eternity.

Watch Your Step-Living Without Stumbling Others - Episode 2355

In Luke 17:1–5, Jesus speaks some of His most challenging words—warnings about causing others to stumble, commands to forgive repeatedly, and a call to live by faith. In this episode, we explore what it means to walk in humility, extend forgiveness without limit, and trust God when obedience feels too hard. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive—or to believe you can—this episode will help you lean into the strength that comes through faith in Christ.

Broken Cisterns: Trading Living Water for Empty Wells - Episode 2353

In this episode, we dive deep into Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV) — “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” What does it mean to forsake the fountain of living waters? How do we, even today, create “broken cisterns” in our lives? Join us as we unpack this powerful verse, exploring its historical context, spiritual implications, and practical relevance. It’s a call to return to the source — to God Himself — and to stop seeking satisfaction in things that ultimately leave us dry and empty.

Will Jesus Find Faith - Episode 2352

Drawing from Luke 18, we explore the pressing question Jesus asks: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Join us as we unpack the essence of faith through persistence in prayer, the revealing nature of our heart's desires, and the necessity of recognizing our need for a Savior. We will reflect on the importance of approaching God with child-like trust and the radical call to let go of everything to gain a relationship with Him. This episode challenges you to examine your own faith: Are you persistent in your prayer life? Do you trust God fully? Will He find faith in your life today?

Have You Turned Your Back on God - Episode 2350

In Jeremiah 2, God is talking about the faithlessness of Israel. He is asking Israel why they have turned their back on God, and chased after things that are worthless. Here we are, thousands of years later, and people are still turning their back on God. Have you?

Follow the Leading of God - Episode 2341

Jesus entered the synagogue and taught as one who had authority is what we read in Mark 1:21-22 and the people were astonished because He taught better than the scribes the people were used to. Why is that? Because Jesus knew the Scriptures and knew the message God had given Him. We need to follow the leading of God when we tell others about Jesus. If God calls you to share your faith with someone, then God will give you the words to say. Your part is to be obedient

Change our Focus - Episode 2339

Could it be that we have our focus on the wrong thing? Jesus calls His first disciples and told them He’d make them fishers of men. Fishing they understood. Jesus didn’t use bait, He simply called people to repentance. Our focus must shift from using “bait” to call people to Christ, and use the Gospel to call people to repentance. When Peter and the disciples went fishing in John 21, they caught nothing. When they followed Jesus’ instructions, they caught so much that their nets began to break. Maybe we need to follow Jesus’ calling to repent and believe.

The Final Commission: Sent, Empowered and Called to Follow

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ final words before His ascension—words that still echo in the hearts of believers today. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to the empowering promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8, we unpack how Christ sends His followers into the world with purpose and power. We also reflect on the angelic reminder in Acts 1:11 that He will return just as He left, and the personal call in John 21:20–22 to follow Jesus faithfully, without distraction or comparison. Join us as we dive into these pivotal scriptures and consider what it means to be a faithful witness in our time.

Living For Christ in a World That Doesn’t part 2

Why is it that even after choosing to follow Jesus, we still struggle with sin? Why do we fall into the same patterns, even when our hearts long to live differently? In this episode, we talk about the inner battle every Christian faces — the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, guilt and grace, striving and surrender. We’ll explore what Scripture says about this fight, how to navigate it without giving in to shame, and why God’s love doesn’t depend on our perfection. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing God or wondered why holiness feels so hard, this conversation is for you.

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.
