Palm Sunday (Prophetic Clock)

April 04, 2024 19:18 - 9 minutes - 8.3 MB

It's been days since the day known as Palm Sunday has occurred. Talk in the streets in Jerusalem is still electric as the rumor has spread that the long awaited Messiah has arrived, that the freedom of Israel from the oppressor of Rome is imminent. The story is being told over and over and over to the few that did not witness it. To this day, few understand that Palm Sunday was a supernaturally choreographed event where each step was planned hundreds, if not thousands, of years earlier. Th...

Its well past midnight in Jerusalem for the Jews however there is no midnight. Its called the middle watch. The night hours are broken into four watches. Evening, Middle, cockcrow and morning. In the Old Testament the nights were broken up into three watches but the Romans are in charge now so that’s how its going to be. During the middle watch Jesus had been bound and more than likely beaten. According to the Gospel of John he is brought first to Annas who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, ...

2024

January 07, 2024 19:41 - 11 minutes - 10.1 MB

I have no idea what 2024 will look like but we must awaken to the reality that we are not the same United States of America of years past. The boxes are not only being checked but have been checked of the list of events that Jesus declared would occur.  For some this will be a hard statement while others already know it….as believers we are not called to be loyal patriots of the United States of America but to be citizens of the Kingdom of God. The reality is that our government is in a sta...

Let's Go

December 31, 2023 18:18 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MB

“Let’s Go”      For the God who sent His celestial message service to these lowly shepherds is the God who is nearest to the broken hearted whose spirits are crushed Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him… Joseph, Moses Miriam, Esther, David, Solomon, Ruth, the tax collector, the fishermen, the tekton and teenage girl who wa...

Nation Against Nation

December 19, 2023 15:44 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

Racism is not the problem it is a symptom of a far more lethal illness that impacts the entire cosmos for all eternity. It is SIN… man’s rejection of his creator…the one whom gives us meaning value and purpose the very reason to breathe and whom in Christ we concern ourselves not with the outer appearance. Yet as you see nation rise up against nation first look inwards and quietly listen as the savior calls upon your life to return to Him, the one whom paid our debt on the cross and invites...

Chowder-Heads

December 06, 2023 18:57 - 9 minutes - 8.95 MB

If we believe that faith in Christ and the word of God captured in the scriptures are true …they are power in themselves…that does not need our assistance or additional complication This too is Paul’s conclusion to the chowder-heads in Glatia….because of faith  alone in Christ you are all therefore children of God, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ. Ever thought about what happens the second after that last breath leaves your body? Don’t be a dimwi...

Whac-A-Mole Christianity

November 29, 2023 19:37 - 10 minutes - 9.96 MB

 There is much much more to this story but in the end this is another form of the perversion of the gospel and its consequences are becoming evident.  Paul’s words in Galatians 2 are a clarion call to all desiring to follow Christ that true followers must crucify their old selves with Christ. Including outside influences, pride, deception, and worldly knowledge. A life with Christ must be a total surrendering of a former life to the call of a totally new one that is marked with the freedom ...

A Gratifying Thanksgiving

November 22, 2023 17:48 - 9 minutes - 8.33 MB

On this day of giving thanks, we can be gratified. Not in the plundering of turkey or other gourmet delights but in the knowledge that Jesus, God in flesh, took the full punishment for the sins of our flesh, accomplishing what no other work or sacrifice ever could and offering salvation to us. Jesus gave up his Spirit on the cross, but God freely gives His Holy Spirit to all who believe (Ephesians 1:14).  This grace moves our hearts into true thanksgiving, it makes possible the total and co...

Our days on this planet and this life, that Paul refers to as a “Race”, is short, therefore run the race set before you well by not running it in vain.

Do You Smell That?

June 07, 2023 21:44 - 11 minutes - 10.1 MB

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” Today in the world that we live, the smell of sin is becoming more pungent as man celebrates that which is wrong and discards that which is right. For He has exchanged the truth about God for a lie. He declares w...

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to destruction.” Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, man’s own desires “to be like god” has throughout history led to chaos.

The Restless Mind Trailer #3 Unresolved Issues

January 24, 2023 22:12 - 5 minutes - 4.96 MB

"Most of life is lived in the mundane and, so a lot of anxiety has, to do with an accumulation of unresolved things that we have. The scripture calls us to keep short accounts, and that's because we have finite space in our brain. Think of our brain as an inbox that only has so much room there. And when the box starts to get full, the same way that when you go into work and you see an inbox that's full, it's like, oh crap, I'm so far behind. I got so much to do.

Hi this is Steve and welcome back to the New Press On. In the gospel of Mathew, we are told of an event that reveals the playbook (force-multiplier) of how Jesus will get the Good News of the gospel out to the world beginning with the local community. His tools 12 uneducated, unrefined commoners, and simple men of faith. They were the commonest of the common. They were from rural areas, farmers, and fisherman. Yet it got worse… Matthew was seen as filth among people, classified as the lowest...

Faith: Just Turn on the Light Switch

December 10, 2022 18:25 - 6 minutes - 99.5 MB

Faith is not passive, it demands that we step out in obedience to the savior risking much to be rewarded by the impossible. It is only reckless when fail to verify the call by asking the question like Peter “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. There are many calls upon our lives but there is only one that can speak to the restlessness of our hearts and that is found in the voice of the Lord Jesus beckoning to come.  In a world that ...
