Finding Truth In The Middle East

May 07, 2023 22:21 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MB

While preachers and politicians argue over who’s right, the search for truth in the Middle East continues. I do believe, however, that we can find the needed truth if we’ll look again at what took place in a courtroom in the Middle East nearly 2,000 ago.

April 09, 2023 23:14 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MB

Perspectives

March 06, 2023 01:49 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

When the world compares a wealthy, powerful, living man to a lowly, poor, dying one, it's no contest. But the world doesn't see everything, does it? It doesn’t have the right perspective.

Trials in Life

February 26, 2023 23:29 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MB

James answers questions like: How should Christians handle trials? Should we throw in the towel when adversity comes our way? Should we blame God and go back to our old ways?

Just Like You, Dad

December 25, 2022 20:08 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

November 06, 2022 15:34 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

We generally assume it would be far easier to believe in Jesus if we had actually seen Him... But surprisingly, the vast majority remained spiritually blind, even in the presence of light.

Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would open the eyes of the blind. And while Old Testament prophets did on occasion perform miracles---even miracles of healing---none of them caused the blind to see. Restoring sight to the blind, however, was our Lord’s most frequent miracle.

Unless You Believe

July 03, 2022 17:48 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MB

Judging the Judgement

May 30, 2022 00:53 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB
