May 24, 2018 23:16 - 6 minutes - 9.5 MB

Amazing grace is the only way to describe how God chose Jacob to father the twelve tribes of Israel as Jacob certainly was not deserving of the honor.

May 24, 2018 11:31 - 4 minutes - 5.79 MB

Some say the church is no longer relevant. Perhaps the reason could be linked to the fact that Christians are not recognizable. They do not resemble those from the Book of Acts who "turned the world upside down" rather have blended into the culture formed by the world apart from God.

We all need a fresh Pentecost. Jesus said “Follow me” and he provided the power to do it ("Be filled with the Spirit" Ephesians 5:18). Lord, give us a few good men and women like Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Pilgrims discipleship is not optional. It is a basic requirement for followers of Christ.

May 09, 2018 08:31 - 7 minutes - 10.2 MB

Jesus and the prophets foretold the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that occurred on the Day of Pentecost. Their words indicate it was to be an experience not a debate. While it is important to study the Word there comes a point where we have to let go and let God. Thanks for listening and sharing.

May 08, 2018 10:50 - 7 minutes - 10.2 MB

April 21, 2018 03:06 - 8 minutes - 11.4 MB

We believe America and the world is in desperate need of another visitation by God.

Episode 53 Prelude to Pentecost Part 1

April 21, 2018 02:43 - 6 minutes - 9.42 MB

Prelude is what precedes the main event. Jesus told the disciples to "wait" in Jerusalem until they had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

April 13, 2018 12:17 - 6 minutes - 8.47 MB

Episode 51 Preparation for Pentecost Part 4

April 13, 2018 10:12 - 7 minutes - 9.67 MB

Preaching Pentecost is foundational to the establishment of a New Testament Church. When preachers fail in their responsibility to preach Pentecost the believers will cease to experience it. This is so basic that it requires a simple yet radical return to believing what the Bible says. Thanks for listening and sharing.

Episode 50 Preparation for Pentecost Part 3

April 07, 2018 19:26 - 6 minutes - 8.43 MB

Episode 47 Reactions to the Resurrection Final Episode

March 31, 2018 14:55 - 9 minutes - 46.4 MB

“Come, Follow Me” and with those three words Jesus broke camp and vanished out of their sight. So what did the disciples do with that? What does it mean to follow Jesus? John 14:12-14 provides insight. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” A follower of Jesus will do what Jesus did.

Episode 46 Reactions to the Resurrection Part 7

March 31, 2018 14:11 - 8 minutes - 12 MB

Oh the intimacies and the memories the disciples made with Jesus! Camping by the Sea of Galilee with Jesus! Awesome! When was the last time you had one of those experiences with Jesus? You know what I mean, where He spoke to you. He’s alive you know. Do not be afraid, Jesus welcomes you, come and dine. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Episode 45 Reactions to the Resurrection Part 6

March 31, 2018 14:07 - 7 minutes - 10.1 MB

“Salvation is free” someone said. Really? While it is true you cannot earn salvation the fact remains it cost Jesus everything. Free to you, yes, cheap? No. “Cheap grace” preaching leaves off the “Follow Me” words of Jesus. You need the help of the Holy Spirit to know Jesus. “You must be born again” He said. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

March 30, 2018 01:49 - 8 minutes - 11.5 MB

Jesus has risen! He appears and disappears at will. He appears to two disciples on their way to Emmaus but like Mary they did not recognize him. His appearance changed after his resurrection. Prior to His ascension He made appearances but only to those of his choosing. Today He wants to reveal Himself to everyone. I can help. May I introduce you to Jesus today?

Episode 42 Reactions to the Resurrection Part 3

March 25, 2018 23:14 - 6 minutes - 8.9 MB

Should Jesus appear to you today it is just possible you might not recognize Him. He will know you. The risen Lord is an awesome thing to see! How would you react?

March 19, 2018 00:00 - 5 minutes - 25.8 MB

Episode 37 Jesus Is King Part 2

March 12, 2018 05:18 - 4 minutes - 5.65 MB

Did you know that even unbelievers called Jesus King? Pilate had a sign made and placed on the cross above the head of Jesus which read, "King of the Jews" to which the Jewish leaders objected but to no avail. Those who know Him worship him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Thanks for listening and please share this message with a friend.

Episode 36 Jesus Is King Part 1

March 12, 2018 04:37 - 6 minutes - 9.01 MB

We may need to rethink our view of Jesus at this season. While it is true He came the first time to redeem us from our sins through his death on the cross, the scriptures reveal a much different picture of His Second Coming. The next time this world sees him it will be as King!
