Sin is Our Worst Enemy
December 30, 2023 19:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MBLet's keep it real. We make a lot of excuses for how our lives go. We blame people, places and things. But what we often miss is that our own personal sin is to blame for most of the problems in our life. In this episode, we explain what sin is, what it does to us and others, and what happens when we don't see it in our lives.

Taking Communion with Clean Hands and a Clean Heart
November 25, 2023 20:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBTo partake in The Lord's Supper is one of the most sacred moments of our Christian fellowship. It is so serious, that our Lord instituted it as a replacement for the Passover meal to usher in the new covenant on the night before He was crucified. But as Christians, do we really understand it? Do we know who should partake of it and who should pass on it? Are we reverencing it with humility? Are we coming clean? The answers to these and other questions await as Episode 36 gets us clear on th...
The Problem of Biblical Illiteracy
November 06, 2023 09:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MBOne of the biggest problems in the modern day church is Biblical Illiteracy. Christians are reading their Bibles less and less, and as a result the church has a severe lack of understanding when it comes to God's Word. It's not an intelligence issue, its a desire issue. Plain and Simple, we have become distracted by the world and have taken for granted the studying and applying of scripture. In this episode we break down the results of this lethargy, and give some practical tips on how to re...

September 20, 2023 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBHow many troubled days and sleepless nights do you spend worrying?

Does your Marriage honor God, or do you honor Yourself?
July 31, 2023 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBWhen we talk about marriage, we talk about it from the perspective of both married and single people. If you are married, God can transform your marriage from a SELFISH one to a SELFLESS one. And if your single and desire to be married, it's even more important to start off SELFLESS. In this episode, we break down the dance of a Godly marriage from Ephesians chapter 5, with scripture leading the way, as we fight through the world, the culture, and our own sin. We think that if you consider ...
The Devastating Affect of the LGBTQ Movement
June 06, 2023 18:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBThe word Devastating means highly destructive or damaging.

First, we will state clearly and plainly what the Bible says about it. Second, we will discuss how God wants us to respond and treat people with...
Beware of False Teachers
April 11, 2023 00:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MBThe business of Christianity is ripe with opportunists who will deceive you out of your money and lead you into hell.

When God doesn't Answer a Prayer
October 14, 2022 00:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBSometimes we pray so fervently for something, and it doesn't happen. But it's not as if God doesn't hear, He does, but he may not answer.

It is a roller coaster ride, but but God is sovereign, and in control. Thank you for listening! If you would like to subscribe and receive new episodes via email, please click subscribe To se...
Is Your Love up to God's Standard?
August 28, 2022 20:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MBGod is Love. It says so in 1 John 4 and verse 16. And God has a standard of love that He expects from us, and commands us to follow.

Jesus came to PLAY the game, NOT be a spectator
July 22, 2022 00:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MBActually, Jesus came to serve, and not be served. And that should be our attitude as church members. Service comes in a variety of ways, and its not always so obvious. So we invite you to consider the many ways you can serve the kingdom and the saints.

The Will of God for your life
May 21, 2022 00:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBSo what is God's Will? This subject is a source of confusion for many Christians. How do we know what it is? Where can we find it? How does God reveal it to us?

We invite you to shed any pre-conceived ideas and come see what GOD wants you to know about His Will! Thank you for listening!

Walk by the Spirit part 2, the fruit of the Spirit
April 17, 2022 23:00 - 41 minutes - 28.9 MBIn Part 2 of Walk by the Spirit, we see the Fruit that the Holy Spirit produces when we move along in the sanctification process. As true believers, these traits will be evident in us to some degree as we walk along side God. As easy as it is to walk in our flesh, it is just as difficult to bear the fruit of Gods good work in us. We pray that the awareness of how to honor Him in our walk will convict our flesh and help our branch produce fruit worthy of the manner in which we are called. Th...

In this 2 part series, we discuss the sins of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. We pray that you will recognize yourselves in both parts as God moves us along in the sanctification process. Thank you for listening! If you would like to subscribe and rec...
Salvation without Reason
February 20, 2022 23:00 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MBThe World and many professing Christians have the idea that at one point they have or will choose to follow God, as if they possess the power and the desire to do so. It's easy to allow our prideful self to think such ridiculous thoughts. But The Bible and God's Word state that no such power or desire exists among mortal man. God chooses us, and and it is quite random. There is no explanation given and no reason why. It is just God's sovereign choice. You either believe in it or you don't. I...
Reflections of a COVID Christmas
January 09, 2022 22:00 - 27 minutes - 18.9 MBSometimes God wants to get your attention, and He will use whatever He wants to in order to make His point. For us, getting COVID right at Christmas opened up our spiritual eyes and ears to see the true meaning of Christmas. Even as Christians, we can get caught up in the worldly side of things, and it takes the power of God to get us back. We invite you to listen and maybe learn a thing or two for yourself!

Raising Godly Children
November 28, 2021 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.7 MBThe Bible has a lot to say about how we raise our Children.

Suffering for God's Sake
October 09, 2021 23:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBIn John chapter 15, our Lord Jesus says, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first".

The Gift of saying "I Do"... or "I Don't"
September 05, 2021 21:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBGod gives us many gifts, and they are all GOOD. But there are two gifts where He gives us an option... the gift of Marriage and the gift of Singleness.

In this episode, we take some characters from the Bible, as well as a few modern day examples, and discuss the downfall of this sin and its consequence. Thank you fo...

The Sin of Modern Day Idolatry
May 31, 2021 16:00 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBWhen we think about Idolatry, we often refer to Old Testament Israel and the worship of the Golden Calf or some wood carving.

A simple, three word prayer... Thank You God!
May 07, 2021 22:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBGratitude is an attribute of a mature believer. We know that every good and perfect gift is from above... We are not worthy of anything, and we certainly can do nothing to earn it. Yet many of these good and perfect gifts get taken for granted. So in this episode we have a chance to acknowledge all that God has done and will continue to do for us! Thank you for listening!

Giving Thanks to God in ALL Circumstances
May 07, 2021 14:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MBToday on Thanksgiving, consider that everything you have is a gift from God. His Word commands us to "Give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). So it's not about being grateful on this day, but being grateful EVERY day.

April 18, 2021 01:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBOne of the most important things we can do as a Christian is to pray. And in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 God commands us to "Pray Continually".
