March 01, 2023 17:44 - 9 minutes - 10.4 MB

May 26, 2022 00:54 - 10 minutes - 11.3 MB

Should we base our faith concerning the future God has planned upon what we hear from the news media, or upon what God has promised in His Word? Should we interpret the scriptures based upon events observed in the secular world, or in the realm where we truly find life -- the Kingdom of Heaven?

May 20, 2022 16:50 - 16 minutes - 17.1 MB

December 16, 2021 01:53 - 4 minutes - 5.41 MB

Freedom!

March 26, 2020 01:01 - 14 minutes - 13 MB

First the Kingdom part 31, “Freedom” Today’s topic has long been a favorite of mine. I grew up in the sixties, when many young people were seeking freedom from the constraints of society.

Kingdom Hope

September 20, 2019 20:55 - 8 minutes - 7.71 MB

Have you watched the news lately? How do you feel afterwards? It is true that bad news cannot be avoided, but at the same time feelings of depression should be resisted. Depression can be paralyzing. Discouragement can hinder creativity and progress in many ways. In the Bible, God does not promise us a trouble-free life, […]

Only One Gospel?

August 09, 2019 21:19 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

First the Kingdom Part 22, Only One Gospel? The word “gospel” has come to mean many things today. Anyone who has a new idea or a supposedly better way of doing things is often seen as presenting his or her gospel. In the time that the New Testament of the Bible was written, there was […]

First Things First

First the Kingdom, part 21, First things First For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than […]

The Paradigm Shift

May 02, 2019 23:00 - 8 minutes - 7.71 MB

First the Kingdom part 16, The Paradigm Shift The title of this podcast is a fancy word phrase used in science that is definitely not found in the bible.
