What You Fear Isn’t Real – Part 2: Open Eyes
Length: 10 minutes | Download >
In our last part, we showed that Jesus delivered us from everything we could be afraid of. Therefore, if we are still afraid, we are only afraid because of what we’re not seeing of Jesus’ provision. That is a universal truth that applies to every person, in every situation. You are not the exception. People only fear because of what they’re not seeing about Jesus. That is the only source (Isaiah 26:3).

Aliens!: The Truth About Extra-Terrestrial Life
Length: 6 minutes
In recent years, talk about aliens and UFOs has come up a lot. What does the Bible actually say about these things? A lot of people assume that if we really discovered there is intelligent life out there in the universe, this would crush people’s faith and discount the Bible. But not so. Actually, all the contrary. If we didn’t believe in aliens, we wouldn’t be believing the Bible. The Bible just doesn’t use the word aliens.

A Prayer Regarding The Love Of God
God’s love is not understood merely by the words, “I love you.” God wanted to demonstrate His love toward us so that we would never doubt the love He has for us. It was not only in word but in deed (Romans 5:8). So today, I want you to read the following questions to the Lord yourself. All these questions are about portions of the inheritance that Jesus has given us through His sacrifice.

People often believe that if a Christian sins, that leaves them susceptible to the Devil, to bring trouble or sickness into your life. While I don’t agree with sin, if that is true, none of us have any surety of protection.

If God Just Showed Up, I’d Believe
Length: 10 minutes
There is this line of thinking that says, “If God wants to be known, why doesn’t He just manifest spectacularly in physical form to prove Himself? If He showed up spectacularly, I would believe.” But this logic is leaving out a very important detail.

It’s About The Communion, Not The Community
Length: 5 minutes
I have heard many people that have either given up on their faith or backed off of seeking the Lord. Many, if not most of them, say that it’s because of betrayal or hypocrisy that they see in the church. But we are missing something if we are leaving God because of something one of His kids did. How would you feel if someone left you because of something someone else did?

Many times, believers look at things they’ve done in their life and think they’ve messed everything up. Or they look at some hardship they’ve experienced and feel they’ll never recover.

The Answer To Pride And Guilt Is The Same
Length: 5 Minutes | Download>
Most everyone sees pride as an emotion that is built on self-reliance, but guilt is just the same. Pride is just self-reliance with the belief that you’re succeeding. Guilt is self-reliance with the belief that you’re failing. Both are self-reliance which we need to trade for Jesus-reliance.

Let Go Of The Things That Make You Poor
Length: 10 Minutes
God is not asking us for any payment for the things He’s given, but when things hinder our knowledge of Jesus, those are things we should certainly let go of — not as if we’re offering it to God, but for our own sake. Trust me, when you give something up to know Jesus more, you’re not making a sacrifice. You’re letting go of the things that make you poor, for a Wisdom that wants to make you rich.

He No Longer Holds You To That Standard
Length: 7 Minutes
Many years ago, I started learning about how forgiven and righteous I was through Jesus. It was an amazing revelation. I finally felt clean and presentable before the Lord.

Being A Slave Means It’s Easy (Righteousness And Life)
Length: 12 Minutes
If you were to read Romans 5-7 (and a bit of chapter 8) you would find words like “reign, slave, dominion, captivity, and law (as in a governing authority).” There are a lot of words describing a slave/master relationship. That’s because, before we knew Jesus, we were slaves to sin and death. Those were the two things that came through Adam. Likewise, we now have a new slavery to righteousness and life – the opposite of what Adam enslaved us to. Romans 5 calls it “righteousness and grace.”
