The God of Our Salvation
June 25, 2024 22:30 - 33 minutes - 14.9 MBThe Lord God is the source of our salvation.

The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation." Join...
Resisting Demonic Doctrines
April 30, 2024 22:30 - 48 minutes - 21.6 MBDuring the last days, spiritual deception will rise. False doctrines always contradict the Word of God. People will stray from sound doctrine. As believers, we must attune our ears to the voice of God and meditate on His Word day and night. Let the Holy Spirit guide and teach us, if not, spiritual deception may sound good and seep in. We must remain faithful, diligent, and prepared. I Timothy 4:1-2 (NKJV) says, 1 "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the...
The 7 Last Words of Jesus
March 19, 2024 22:30 - 15 minutes - 6.82 MBThe seven last Words of Jesus Christ should cause believers to pause and reset. Jesus in His suffering showed His divinity and humanness. He understands what we go through when suffering! This lesson is not exhaustive, but a time to reflect on those things that matter most. Jesus exemplifies forgiveness. He offers salvation to those who believe. He lays the foundation for relationships. He understands feelings of abandonment. He experienced distress. He is triumphant. And, in Him, there wil...
Enlisted Soldiers of Jesus Christ
March 05, 2024 23:30 - 47 minutes - 21.2 MBAs believers, we are called to put on the complete armor of God. Why is that? Because we are in constant spiritual warfare. And while this spiritual battle is present, we are called to be steadfast and endure hardship as soldiers in the army of God. The battle is already won, and the victory is in Jesus Christ. II Timothy 2:3 (NKJV) says, "You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." There is no time for distractions. Jesus Christ enlisted us, so let's aim to pleas...
The Old vs. The New
January 02, 2024 23:30 - 45 minutes - 20.2 MBAs believers, our goal is Christlikeness. The ministry of the Holy Spirit produces godliness in believers. The sanctification process conforms us to the image of Christ. In Christ Jesus, our transformation demonstrates spiritual maturity. Hence, the reasons why we live to glorify God. Our focus is eternal, not having an appetite for the desires of this world. Romans 12:2 (NKJV) says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove ...
Reflections: Looking Back and Looking Forward

God Has the Final Say
November 28, 2023 23:30 - 15 minutes - 6.75 MBGod the Father has written our book of life. His purpose and plan for us unfold each day. Every chapter in our life's earthly journey is penned by Him. We can stand on God's Word and plug into the power or shrink because of a lack of knowledge or disbelief. We must speak the Word of God to change the condition or circumstances in our hearts, mind, and body. Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) says, "So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire ...
Christian Service and Life's Ups and Downs
October 17, 2023 22:30 - 46 minutes - 20.8 MBIn our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are called to a life of service. Life is challenging just trying to manage the ups and downs, uncertainty, and the unknown. The real test is not being discouraged, and remaining on the course. God provides what we need and gives us direction. He equips us to be overcomers and wants us to celebrate our victories. I Kings 19:9 (NASB) says, "Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said...

Salvation: God's Deliverance
July 25, 2023 22:30 - 48 minutes - 21.8 MBMiraculously, God the Father delivered humankind from the penalty of sin. His love, grace, and mercy provided to those who believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ, an opportunity to be with Christ forever. We can't earn it, and we don't deserve it. This positional eternal state of being was granted to us by God himself. Romans 6:23 (NKJV) says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." While we were sinners, Christ atoned for our si...
The Best We Can Be
July 11, 2023 22:30 - 17 minutes - 7.34 MBIn our sinful state, our goodness is tainted with selfish motives and selfish desires. Our goodness does not please God --no one does good, not even one. God's goodness, on the other hand, represents His standard of goodness in all His ways. In Christ Jesus, our Heavenly Father ushers in a newness that is cloaked in Christ's righteousness, and the old self will pass away. Christ renews and transforms our minds. During that process, God will develop our potential to the greatest degree possibl...

June 13, 2023 22:30 - 20 minutes - 8.95 MBYears ago, I discovered this little book, The Prayer of Jabez: Breaking Through to the Blessed Life, by Dr. Bruce H. Wilkinson. It was the #1 New York Times Bestseller. I was intrigued, so I purchased and read it, with the promise that it would change my life. Well, God did not grant me material blessings but rather a heart for Jesus. That was life-changing and more precious than gold! Jabez's prayer is mentioned in I Chronicles 4:10 (NIV). It says, "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh...

John 13:34 says, "I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (NAS...
On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand
April 18, 2023 22:30 - 18 minutes - 7.8 MBAs believers in Christ, we know He is our solid rock and firm foundation. He is our cornerstone when we completely trust and are committed to Him. Are we standing on a firm foundation that will endure the test of time? In Matthew 7:25 (NIV), Jesus speaks of building our life on a solid rock by saying, "The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." He goes on to contrast the wise vs. the ...

Restorative Connections: Healing for Communities and Families
November 29, 2022 23:30 - 46 minutes - 20.8 MBSociety suggests that living a fragmented life from family and community is the norm. Today, more than ever, the differences, untruths, fear, and ignorance tear our families, communities, and nation apart. Restoration is needed to achieve healing, harmony, and unity.

Single Parenting with Grace
November 15, 2022 23:30 - 46 minutes - 20.6 MBChildren are a blessing from God, and parenting is a huge responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly. True enough, single parenting is met with many challenges. Generally, the family structure breaks down, and children live with the stigma that they are on the short end of the stick. Single parents can be overcomers by surviving financial hardship, emotional upheaval, and spiritual burdens of unworthiness. Trust in the Lord and His promises so you can live with hope on the horizon. Psa...

Abstain from every form of ...
A Spirit-filled Life
October 04, 2022 22:30 - 16 minutes - 7.21 MBThe Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every believer receives the gift of the Holy Spirit upon conversion. God is not seen but experienced. Jesus Christ is pictured during His ministry and hanging on Calvary's cross. On the other hand, the Holy Spirit is not pictured but is described with symbols such as a dove; a tongue of fire (flame); the wind; a lamp; rays of light; a cloud; water; and oil are just a few examples. He is a person, not it, and indwells and ...
Battling Spiritual Warfare with Full Armor
August 23, 2022 22:30 - 16 minutes - 7.1 MBThere is a truth that sets us free --one truth, Jesus the Christ that gives strength to all the other truths. And since the key truth is a person, not a thing, our freedom is found in our relationship with the person, Jesus the Son of God. Our victory is in Him! It doesn't matter what angle or approach Satan uses, Christ will already be there. The enemy has been defeated. Christ wins the spiritual battles and He has won the war. Romans 8:37-38 (NIV) says, "No, in all these things we are m...
What's Been Happening?
August 09, 2022 22:30 - 15 minutes - 6.53 MBIt's been a while since I've been on the air. Today's episode will be a brief check-in, an update, and a time of prayer: Simply put, I am praising God because I've been blessed with another day to serve Him and others. Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) says, "This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." That's what I aim to do today and I hope you will too!

Living In the Moment
June 28, 2022 22:30 - 16 minutes - 6.99 MBEach day here on earth is a gift from God. At the start of our day, we should thank God because He gave us another day to serve Him and others. How do we view time? Is it limited? Do we regret losing it? Do we throw it away? Do we chase it? Do we seize the moment? Tomorrow is a blessing. Yesterday should bear lessons learned. Our perspective concerning yesterday and tomorrow should elicit trust in God because He is in control of time. Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, Don't worry about tomorrow, ...
Moving Forward
May 17, 2022 22:30 - 46 minutes - 20.9 MBThere are so many roads to take on our journey with Jesus Christ. Sometimes we second guess where to turn or in which direction to go when we reach a fork in the road or a dead end. Have you ever asked why the detours in life? The answers are embedded in God's purpose and a plan for our lives. When we patiently wait on Him for guidance and direction, we'll find the strength to keep pressing on with our eyes on the prize! Philippians 3:13-14 (NASB), says, "Brothers and sisters, I do not reg...
Triumphant Life in Christ Jesus
April 29, 2022 22:30 - 46 minutes - 20.7 MBLife isn't easy, but there is always hope! Choose a word that best describes your life --is it triumphant or defeated? No matter what we are faced with, life is worth rejoicing. We can be victorious, successful, and achieve what God has for us. We are measured by God’s standard, not the world’s standard. II Corinthians 2:14 (NASB) says, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place." Verse 15 goe...
The Power of His Name
April 19, 2022 22:30 - 28 minutes - 12.4 MBJehovah Rapha means the Lord heals physical and emotional needs. We often pray for physical healing, but our healing should be holistic, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Jesus did it all during His public ministry. And, the Holy Spirit was at work in and through the apostles, performing His ministry of glorifying Jesus Christ. Peter was told to heal a lame man lying at the Beautiful Gate. Acts 3:6 (NIV) says, "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I ...

Surrender Your Life to Christ
March 08, 2022 23:30 - 16 minutes - 6.98 MBA surrendered life to Christ is powerful! In it, we have all the freedoms that we need. God wants us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present age. Jesus Christ redeemed us and has clothed us in His righteousness.

Luke 9:23 (NKJV) says, "Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and...
The Fruit of the Spirit
February 08, 2022 23:30 - 16 minutes - 7 MBThe Holy Spirit gives us the power we need to reject those old sinful desires. The fruit of the Spirit will produce Christlike characteristics. When we are led by the Spirit and walk with the Spirit, we can say “no” to sin and accept the “way out” God faithfully provides. We must follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. As we give the Spirit more control of our lives, He begins to do in and through us what only He can do. He shapes us and grows us to produce much fruit for God's kingdom. Galatians...

Jesus is the Reason for the Season
December 14, 2021 23:30 - 14 minutes - 6.02 MBMerry Christmas and Happy New Year is our standard greeting during this time of year! And when I say it, I mean it with all sincerity. I also want to acknowledge a few more holidays during December, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Boxing Day. Each of these holidays have significant meaning to the people who celebrate them. The account of the birth of baby Jesus can sometimes get lost in the December shuffle and transition into the new year. I want to remind us of the true reason for the season, whic...
Trusting God Through Your Pain
November 30, 2021 23:30 - 33 minutes - 15 MBLife is a journey! While living life we will encounter happiness, sadness, fear, and anger, just to name a few emotions. But the reality is, humankind was created to feel and show emotions. The million dollar question is how do we respond to God when life’s circumstances directs us to the pathways of pain, disappointment, guilt, or shame? Our challenge is to stay on course and not detour. God wants us to seek and trust Him throughout our entire journey with all its ups and downs. Proverbs 3:...
A Time for Prayer
November 02, 2021 22:30 - 18 minutes - 7.86 MBGod expects us to communicate with Him through prayer. There is power in prayer.

Study of Holy Scriptures
September 21, 2021 22:30 - 33 minutes - 14.7 MBIt is important to study the Holy Scriptures! Why? Because when we study and know Holy Scriptures, we can stand on the promises of God and not waver in our journey. Jesus walks and talks with us. When we guard Scriptures in our heart, along with the indwelling of the the Holy Spirit, we have an internal GPS! II Timothy 2:15 says,"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (NKJV) Join us Tuesday, Sepember 21,...
The Holy Bible
September 07, 2021 22:30 - 17 minutes - 7.65 MBThe Holy Bible is the sacred Word of God. It shows His characater and accounts for God's revelation of himself to His people.

II Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God ma...
Being Justified by Faith
August 24, 2021 22:30 - 31 minutes - 14.2 MBChristians may be surprised to learn that the doctrine of justification by faith is not only found in the New Testament but also in the Old Testament. Genesis 15:6, says, "Abraham, in response to God’s promise, believed the LORD, and it was counted to him as righteous." In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul wrote about justification by faith by contrasting justification by faith with justification by works of the law. We are not justified by our works. And, the blessing is, being "justif...
Justification by Faith
August 10, 2021 22:30 - 35 minutes - 15.8 MBThe Christian belief system is rooted in justification by faith. When sinners recognize and acknowledge their need for a Savior, they are making their way toward God. Accepting the Son of God, Christ Jesus, as Savior is mankind being saved by grace through faith. Our justification is by faith alone and apart from good deeds. Romans 4:3 says, For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”(NASB) Join us Tuesday, August 10, at 3:30 PM, PDT,...
The Heart of Sacrificial Giving
July 27, 2021 22:30 - 19 minutes - 8.4 MBWhen growing up, a common slogan often said is “live for today and hope for tomorrow.” Today, another more common phrase recognizes two differing categories of people, the “haves and have nots.” If we live for material wealth and allow the world to define our worth, we’re in trouble and living life out on a limb. Material wealth passes away, but spiritual wealth is being in a rich relationship with Christ Jesus as Savior, Master and Lord, for all eternity. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first ...
Mrs. Job and Unwise Counsel
June 29, 2021 22:30 - 15 minutes - 6.84 MBJob is an interesting book in the Bible. Some find the account of Job unlike God because He allows Satan to cause His servant Job to suffer. To the contrary, God accomplishes His divine purpose for the pain and suffering that Job and his family endured. The account of Job's wife, whose name we don't know, indicates she walked alongside her husband until she could bear no more. In the midst of her despair, she suggested that Job curse God and die! Her counsel wasn't the best; she had lost si...
Queen Esther in the Midst of God's Plan
June 15, 2021 22:30 - 18 minutes - 8.11 MBThe Book of Esther was written in the 5th Century BC. It’s nestled in between the Book of Nehemiah and the Book of Job in the Protestant Bible. During our last podcast, we dissected the story of Vashti the Queen of Persia. Vashti was dethroned and Queen Esther, a Jewish young woman, was chosen as her successor. God positioned Esther to be used in His master plan to save the Jewish people. There are four main characters in the Book of Esther, God, who is not mentioned, but clearly in the mids...
Queen Vashti and Her Strong Convictions
May 04, 2021 22:30 - 16 minutes - 7.23 MBVashti was Queen of Persia and the first wife of Ahasuerus (Xerxes), King of Persia. She was fair to look upon. Her husband, the King was wealthy.

He wanted her to parade before the princes and nobles of all his provinces to show off her beauty. Queen Vashti refused to do so and was dethroned. This remark...
The Will of God
March 23, 2021 22:30 - 16 minutes - 6.97 MBHow often do we pray, "Lord, thy will be done?" What is the will of God? The short answer is it can be found in the Bible. We don’t have to search for God's sovereign will as if it's unattainable; we just need to discover His will within Scripture and apply them to our lives. God has revealed His will, precept upon pecept, to let us know what is right and true, and pleasing to Him. In II Tim. 3:16-17 (NIV) it says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcti...
For Such A Time As This
March 09, 2021 23:30 - 15 minutes - 13.7 MBGod transcends space and time, yet time belongs to Him. We cannot speed up nor delay time. He ordains the seasons of life. Our life belongs to Him. We are in His mighty hands! We cannot change the earthly seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. All of God's creation serves a purpose for such a time as this. God is still speaking and letting us know time is of the essence. What season of life are you in? Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every acti...
Saying Yes to God
February 23, 2021 23:30 - 26 minutes - 23.6 MBGod allows us to choose life or death! He gives us the free choice and free will to live our lives the way we desire. But, of course God's desire for us is to choose life. When we love and obey Him, we will say "yes." And through that growth process, we become closer and closer to Him. Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV) says, "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants...
