March 22, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBIn such times as these when the things of this world are so unstable and uncertain it is of vital necessity to remember God is Sovereign, all-powerful, all-knowing, and working all things for the ultimate good for those who love Him. We see this again in Is. 45:8-10 (8) "Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, (9) remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, (10) declaring the end from the beginning a...
Turn to Me and Be Saved! Isaiah 45:20-25
March 15, 2020 21:00 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBGod gives a powerful invitation, declaration, and command in Isaiah 25:22-23- "Turn to me & be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God & there is no other. By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: 'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.'" Jesus makes a similar declaration in John 14:6- "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Either a...
I am the LORD!
February 23, 2020 20:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBA beautiful verse that speaks about God saving us by His grace alone is Isaiah 45:4 "For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know me." This truth is at the center of the following verses: John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you." John 10:16 "And I have other...
Your Foundation Shall be Laid
February 16, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBOnly in the Lord is wisdom and understanding And truth and life and love... It is a fool who would look for these things in the fallen creation rather than in the Holy perfect Creator. As God promised that he would use Cyrus to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple, Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all God's promises who saves God's people through his substitutionary atonement on the Cross so that we, who are in Christ, are the body of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit! Amen!
I have Redeemed You
February 09, 2020 05:00 - 58 minutes - 40 MBOne of the most amazing and precious declarations of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by God to His elect children is found in Isaiah 44:22 "I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you." Salvation is only by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Jesus redeems us from the curse of the law by dying in our place and satisfying the wrath of God we deserve. The light of Jesus Christ burns away the cloud and mist o...
Idols are Nothing
February 02, 2020 20:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MBWho or what you worship; desire; love with all your heart, mind, soul and strength; place your security in, and or derive your peace and joy and life from will decide what you become. Those who worship unseeing, unhearing, lifeless idols of any kind will be blind, deaf to the truth of Jesus Christ and remain dead unless God makes them and gives them the gracious gifts of belief in obedience to and love for Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If you worship an idol you become like that Ido...
God So Loved the World
January 26, 2020 20:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBJohn 3:16 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." Due to the sin on Adam and Eve every human being is conceived in sin and under condemnation, wrath and judgement unless they are saved by God's grace the holy and righteous life, substitution death and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ! God made a way when we could find no way! Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you want to be saved then you n...
Jesus - The Temple of God
January 12, 2020 05:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Jesus prophesied that Herod's earthly temple was to be destroyed in the near future after His death. The church is to be the temple of God, indwelt by the Holy Spirit because of Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. Jesus is alive! Eternal life is only found in Him! Amen!
Jesus - The Good Wine
January 05, 2020 19:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MBJesus is the Word, the light, the Son of God, God, the Beginning and the End, Life, the Lamb of God, the Son of man... Everything was made through and for Him, it makes sense that Jesus could turn water into wine. Jesus needs no seeds, soil, vines, grapes, or wine press. God made everything that has been made from nothing! As Rev. 19:9 says "Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." The greatest miracle of all is that while we were still dead in our trespasses an...
Jesus is the Lamb of God
December 29, 2019 20:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MBJohn Testifies About Jesus 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself di...
Jesus Brings Grace & Truth - Christmas Eve 2019
December 24, 2019 06:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBJohn 1:16-18 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[a] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
Jesus is Full of Grace & Truth
December 22, 2019 05:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBO, how we need Jesus! The law speaks of our condemnation, the wrath of our holy God because of our unholiness, our disobedience, our rebellion, our curse, our unrighteousness, and God's just judgement! O how we need the Grace and truth of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ! Galatians 3:13-14 (13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"-- (14) so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might c...
Jesus is the Light
December 08, 2019 23:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBJesus is life! Jesus is light! Without being made alive in Jesus Christ we are dead and lost in darkness. Everyone needs God's light to shine on him or her for them to be saved. Thank you, Jesus, that you died on the cross so that we could have light and go from darkness to light. Amen!
Jesus is God
December 01, 2019 22:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBThe Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
God is the Maker of All Things!
November 24, 2019 21:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBGod pours out His Spirit on all who are His- all chosen, precious, loved, elected, foreknown by Him. This is our only hope! It is only through the substitutionary and sacrificial work of Jesus Christ on our behalf and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that we can be saved. Thank you Father for making us alive in your Son Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit! Amen!
I Will Not Remember Your Sins
November 17, 2019 21:00 - 51 minutes - 35.1 MBWe did not seek God; God sought us! We did not love God, God first loved us and enabled us to love Him! We were condemned because of the guilt of our sin and rebellion and Jesus took our sin on His perfect, holy self so that we could by faith receive His righteousness! In Christ God has removed our sins! This is what we give thanks for! Amen!
Fear Not, You Are Mine!
November 10, 2019 21:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB"Redeemed"— The Hebrew for this word means to ransom by a price paid to free captives. God the Creator, Former, Caller, Redeemer, Savior is making a new holy people through the ransom of His holy Son Jesus Christ. As God makes clear in Isaiah 43:11-12 "I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior. (12) I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and I am God." Jesus is the only Way, Truth, and Life! Amen!
Justice Through Healing/Affliction
November 03, 2019 23:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBIsaiah 42 makes clear in verses 6-8 that the LORD alone is creator, savior, and the only source of righteousness and hope for sinners. (6) "I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, (7) to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. (8) I am the LORD; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, no...
Your Redeemer- the Holy One of Israel
October 27, 2019 20:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MBWe are bombarded at times by the lies and deceptions of the World, the Devil, and our old fallen flesh. At the center of these lies and deceptions is that we can find strength, pleasure, joy, hope, security... outside of God and His will and His ways. We are constantly offered idols from within our fallen hearts and minds and form the fallen world outside. God makes clear that strength and salvation can only be found in His righteous right hand and in the Holy one of Israel, Jesus Christ. Je...
The Lord has no Comparisons
October 20, 2019 20:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBWho is so prideful that they think they know more or better than God? Everyone, unless God humbles them by making alive and giving them the gift of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. God is God and we are not! God is our strength, wisdom, hope, comfort and salvation! Praise the Lord! Amen.
The Word of the Lord Will Stand Forever
October 13, 2019 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBThe rebellious world, the father of all lies the Devil, and our old fallen flesh continue offer us false comforts in sin and disobedience to God. This is why we are so dependent on God's word and the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. The World is passing away along with its rebellion, The Devil and all the demonic will be thrown in to lake of fire along with all who remain in unbelief, and our old fallen flesh has been crucified, killed, and buried with Christ. God's word and promises, ...
Carried to Babylon
October 06, 2019 20:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBJesus Christ has paid it all, all to Him we owe. He died on the cross in our place so that God's elect could have forgiveness, his righteousness, and eternal life. This truth is to lead us to lives of gratitude, thanksgiving and praise. This truth is not to lead to complacency, presumption, pride in ourselves or any forms of self-righteousness. Let us never forget that he have been saved ultimately for God's glory and His glory alone!
You Have Cast All My Sins Behind Your Back
September 30, 2019 04:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBIsaiah 38 verse 17 gives us a powerful depiction of salvation "Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back." Though in our sins we were all children of disobedience, children of wrath, under condemnation and deserving eternal conscious torment in hell God has completely removed our sins from us and from His sight due to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ! Prais...

Waiting for the Judgement/Grace of the Judge
August 25, 2019 23:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MBAs Isiah 33:22 makes clear, "For the LORD is our judge; the LORD is our lawgiver; the LORD is our king; he will save us." It means eternal life to know, believe and live in accordance to these truths. It means eternal judgment and wrath to not know, believe, and live in accordance to these truths. The Lord is Righteous and we must be righteous. This is only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and have His righteousness reckoned to us! What a good and loving King of kings and Lord...
