  • If We Have To Wait Then The Cross Isn’t Our Access

    Length: 5 minutes

    If I were to go into any church and ask, “How many of you believe that at the cross, Jesus’ payment was once for all time?” I would get rousing amens. And if I said, “How many of you believe that the cross is our only access to the grace of God?” I would get applause in agreement. And yet, if I said, “Won’t it be great when we finally get to Heaven, and experience perfection?” I would still get the same agreement from people, longing for something in the future. But these things are actually a contradiction.

  • So Good, They’ll Think It Was On Purpose

    Length: 6 minutes

    Sometimes we do things that aren’t sin. They’re just mistakes or indiscretions. You might forget to tighten something under the hood of your car. You might drop something fragile and expensive or make a mistake at work — things like this. But we don’t receive by our works, and that is a beautiful truth to understand in times like this.

  • Husbands and Wives – Part 4: When You’re Giving, But They’re Not

    Length: 5 minutes

    Ultimately, considering your spouse’s needs as more important than your own, and loving your spouse like Jesus loved you, fulfills everything a marriage should be (Romans 13:10). This true, sincere love only comes by knowing Jesus’ love for you and relating with Him (1 Peter 1:22)! But what about when you’re serving, you’re giving, you’re loving, but your spouse is not?

  • Husbands And Wives – Part 3: Decision-Making

    Length: 5 minutes

    So far, we’ve learned that the husband has been made the head, but the wife also has authority in the household. Not only so, but they are equals in Christ. What does this mean for decision-making?

  • Husbands And Wives – Part 2: A Wife’s Authority

    Length: 6 minutes

    In our previous part we spoke about husbands. Don’t get me wrong, the wife is also an authority figure in her household. It is true, God has given the husband “the edge” in authority, as it pertains to decision-making (more on that later), but the husband is not the only authority figure in the household.

  • Husbands And Wives – Part 1: Husband, Not Master

    Length: 5 minutes

    In the context of a family, God has made a man the head. Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconceptions about this. For one, many believe that all men generally have authority over all women, which is simply not true.

  • Don’t Forget What He Told You Before

    Length: 2 minutes

    When God speaks to you, He doesn’t just speak for your present, but also with your future in mind. God will speak ahead of time to prepare you for things to come. That way, when you get there, you’re equipped with the right knowledge to prosper! That puts a great importance on remembering what He’s already said.

  • Should I Be Proud To Be An American?

    Length: 8 minutes

    Many people are either proud to be an American or ashamed of being an American, depending on how you line up politically and morally. So, should we be proud? Well, it depends on whether you’re talking about a nationality or the principles that helped found this nation.

  • It Doesn’t Have To Feel Like A Roller Coaster

    Length: 4 minutes

    “One day, we feel solid on what the Lord’s speaking to us, rejoicing in the gospel, and the next day we’re moved from the good news at the first sign of adversity!” This doesn’t have to be the story of your life, because there’s a simple explanation for this.

  • How To See Your Situation The Way God Sees It

    Length: 5 minutes

    How do we communicate our thoughts? We do so through words (whether verbal, written, or otherwise). We communicate our thoughts and perspectives through our words. The Lord is no different. If you want to adopt His thoughts, to see His overwhelmingly positive perspective of your situation, you need to receive His words.

  • Are They Seeking The Gospel Or Just Seeking You?

    Length: 7 minutes

    Many people will want one-on-one prayer or counsel from you. It’s important to know whether they’re actually seeking the gospel or they’re just seeking you! The Lord taught me a little trick on how to tell. It’s from Jesus’ interrogation, just before His crucifixion.

  • BIG Plans, BIG Rest – Part 2: Company Card

    Length: 7 minutes

    In our last part, we were explaining that many people (even unconsciously) won’t let their mind accept God’s full plan for their life because they don’t want the work and stress that comes with doing something BIG! The good news is, God has big plans but He’s not asking you to fulfill them!

  • BIG Plans, BIG Rest – Part 1

    Length: 5 minutes

    There are different reasons why people don’t expand their minds to believe the full potential of what God can do through them. One of those reasons is, when people think “big plans” they think “a lot of work.”

  • The Right Version Of Jesus

    Length: 6 minutes

    It’s true, when we know Jesus, miracles happen. When we believe Him, God’s glory manifests. When we learn Him, we find rest for our souls. The problem is, these things can’t happen if the “Jesus” we know is the wrong one.

  • Help Is Not On The Way… He Already Came. 

    Length: 8 minutes

    In the church today it’s much more common for someone to say, “The Lord will provide“ than it is for them to say, “The Lord already provided.“ It’s much more common to say, “The Lord always shows up right on time“ than it is for them to say, “The Lord already showed up.“ That’s because we don’t realize, the cross already did what we’re asking God to do.

  • Yes, You Can Hear From God – Part 2

    Length: 6 minutes

    On a very practical level, even though we are worthy to access the voice of God, we need time to be able to hear Him. That certainly doesn’t go without saying. Some people may try to squeeze in a few minutes here and there, to spend private time with the Lord, and then get discouraged when they feel they aren’t hearing God. As much as you have access, you need to give the Lord time to speak!

  • Yes, You Can Hear From God – Part 1

    Length: 6 minutes

    A lot of people have heard the gospel from others, but so many (even Christians) feel that they just can’t hear the voice of God for themselves. Everyone has felt like this at one point or another, but those concerns are not founded.

  • There’s No Such Thing As A Lukewarm Christian

    Length: 7 minutes

    Have you ever heard of a “lukewarm Christian“? It’s the term people use for Christians that lack commitment in living their life for Christ, but that was never God’s intention when using that word — not even close.

  • Don’t Doubt His Ability To Minister Through You

    Length: 3 minutes

    Too many people leave ministry — like healing, casting out demons, service, encouragement — to the “big shots” in the church. Christians often compare what they have seen in their life so far, with what those ministers are seeing in their life, so they disqualify themselves from ministering in certain capacities. This may not be a conscious decision, but when you look at someone else ministering by the Spirit and are only thinking about your flesh, you slip into disqualifying yourself.

  • Easy Verses: Responding To Receptive And Obstinate Relationships

    What is the proper way to respond to people when they are receptive, disagreeable, or even obstinate toward the gospel? Here is what scripture says.

  • Understanding “By Jesus’ Stripes You WERE Healed”

    Length: 7 minutes

    If you’ve been around some good teaching about healing, you’ve likely heard 1 Peter 2:24 quoted. It says that by Jesus’ stripes you “were” healed (past tense). This is a powerful truth, but I don’t believe most people understand what it means to have been healed in the past, even when their body is still sick or hurting.

  • What Should I Think About Israel, As A Christian?

    Length: 11 minutes

    As Christians, how should we treat the nation of Israel? This is not as popular as it should be, but the short answer is, “Just like you would treat anyone else.”

  • Well, That Church Is Better Than Nothing, Right?

    Length: 5 minutes

    You may see someone going to church, hear them speak about God or Jesus and think, “Well, they may not be hearing the best teaching at their church, but at least it’s better than nothing.” But that’s not necessarily true.

  • 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).

  • What You Fear Isn’t Real – Part 1

    Length: 12 minutes | Download >

    Some people say that fear is an acronym for “False Evidence Appearing Real.” But that’s not necessarily so. The evidence you’re looking at may be very real. What isn’t real is your interpretation of the evidence. I can prove that to you from scripture.

  • 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.

  • The Truth About “Waiting On The Lord”

    Length: 7 minutes

    “Wait on the Lord.” Some people love the term. Some people don’t. Either way, the term is usually misunderstood.

  • 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.

  • Easy Verses: Youth For Our Body

    God plants the seed of His word in your mind, not merely for the sake of information, but to produce fruit on the outside. So, here are a few seeds of youth from scripture, to conform you to His youngness!

  • Sinning Doesn’t Leave Believers Vulnerable To The Devil

    Length: 11 minutes

    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.
