Episodes
The World's Seduction
April 15, 2024 07:00 - 304 KBGalatians 3:22 The world system is at odds with God because Satan nurtures it. It’s a system designed to give us pleasure and distract us from God.
The Apostles' Creed
April 12, 2024 07:00 - 305 KB1 Peter 3:18-21 The Apostles’ Creed is the Church’s statement of faith—but it is not often explained! For personal study, it’s helpful to use a Bible commentary. A commentary examines Scripture verse by verse and sheds likes on difficult passages.

Priorities
April 05, 2024 07:00 - 307 KBLuke 16:13 You can’t serve two masters. Placing Jesus before your relationships, your work, and your possessions puts everything in a whole new perspective.
Letters to God
April 04, 2024 07:00 - 303 KB1 Peter 5:7 There is nothing too big and nothing too small for God. For some reason, as we age, we forget there’s nothing God doesn’t care about in our lives.
Judgment and Grace

In a Foreign Land

We All Fall Down

The Invisible Battle
March 13, 2024 07:00 - 300 KBHebrews 4:12 Preserving the Bible is worth fighting for. Even though it was written thousands of years ago it’s still relevant because it’s alive. God’s word convicts, comforts, and teaches.
The Emancipation Proclamation
March 12, 2024 07:00 - 300 KBRomans 8:2 Because Christ has set us free we’re no longer slaves to the power of sin. It’s a difficult concept but that’s what grace is all about.

February 21, 2024 08:00 - 307 KBProverbs 4:25 Many of us prefer the security of our past over facing the uncertainty of our future. But living in the past only saps our energy and makes it difficult to face the demands of today.
The A-B-Cs of Love
February 20, 2024 08:00 - 308 KB1 Corinthians 13:4-7 I accept you, I believe you’re valuable, I care when you hurt, I desire what’s best for you, and I erase all offences. Chuck Swindoll calls this the A-B-Cs of love.

Love and Apathy
February 14, 2024 08:00 - 305 KB1 Corinthians 13:1-3 When we treat others with indifference we are making an announcement to them, declaring, “I don’t love you.” Towards whom are you apathetic?

Awaiting the Curtain Call
