Jesus: The King - Part 2 of 2

April 17, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Is Jesus the King of the Jews? Yes! And no. And yes. Yes, this itinerant preacher from Nazareth was the rightful ruler of Israel. But No, His subjects did not accept Him - which only expanded His dominion. And one day the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will crown Him as their Sovereign. Matthew chronicles everything for us in his Gospel. And today Jim will complete the sermon he began yesterday, Jesus: The King. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX ...

Jesus: The King - Part 1 of 2

April 16, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Whaddya know? There's a forest here! Our study of the Bible can become very atomized - fragmented. We can easily focus on one verse, or even a single phrase, and miss the forest for the trees. From time to time it's good to be reminded that there are colossal issues and cosmic timelines under consideration in the Scriptures. Jim will do that for us in a series called, New Testament Insights. And we'll start at the beginning, in Matthew's Gospel. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday th...

Under The Shadow Of His Control - Part 1 of 2

Scripture References:  Acts 5:12-32

Under The Shadow Of His Coming - Part 2 of 2

April 09, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

It all started with a random comment about architecture. When you're studying under a really wise teacher any small event, even a word, could open up a fountain of instruction. The Disciples had made some comments in passing about the beauty of the Temple buildings, and that was all it took to get Jesus going that day. He wanted to tell them about His return. And along with that lesson they got to know more about His plan, and His heart. Here's Jim with the conclusion of his sermon, Under ...

Under The Shadow Of His Coming - Part 1 of 2

April 08, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

What kind of king is this? It's obvious to us, 2,000 years removed, that Jesus was not a political prince. But the Pharisees didn't read the Scriptures that way, and His followers didn't read the Scriptures that way. In the messianic prophecies they saw an earthly ruler. Today we see Christ as transcending things like national borders and armies. And that's our blind spot. Because one day He will be a political king. Here's Jim with Part 1 of, Under the Shadow of His Coming. Listen to Righ...

Under The Shadow Of His Correction - Part 2 of 2

April 05, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Well, that's one way to solve the Samaritan problem! "Nuke 'em!" say James and John. "Lord, can we please just send these sinners straight to hell for You?" At the beginning of this chapter, Luke 9, Jesus had sent out the disciples to convey the good news, and to heal people. It's a stark contrast. What had gotten into James and John? Whatever it is, it's unfortunately still getting into Christians today. Here's Jim to conclude his message, Under the Shadow of His Correction. Listen to R...

Under The Shadow Of His Correction - Part 1 of 2

April 04, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

We've followed James to the mountain, and to the sea. Now we'll follow him to the woodshed! The Disciples needed an attitude adjustment - really 3 of them. And Jesus was ready in each case to "apply the board of education to the seat of learning," as we used to say. How had the Twelve gotten so twisted around? They had a lot to learn about the nature of the Kingdom, as we all do. But their false assumptions about greatness became fertile ground for the seed of pride. Listen to Right Star...

Under The Shadow Of His Celebration - Part 2 - Part 3 of 3

April 03, 2024 04:00

When you've toiled all night and caught nothing, Jesus knows. We've been studying the last chapter of John's Gospel. It's devoted to a manifestation of the resurrected Christ that occurred on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, to some very tired and defeated fishermen. Jesus had breakfast ready for them, and success, and some instruction. In part 3 of this message Pastor Jim takes us back to the very beginning of the Lord's ministry, to give us some background on the disciple Nathaniel. This...

Under The Shadow Of His Celebration - Part 2 - Part 2 of 3

April 02, 2024 04:00

Who were the 7 men in that boat? If you're going fishing at night you're a pro, not a weekend angler. And if you're fishing at sea... at night... you want to know who's in that boat with you! We've been looking at a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus. He had some things to tell the individual members of that fishing expedition. Today we'll think about Thomas (does he deserve his nickname?) and Nathaniel, and Peter. Here's Jim with another installment of, Under the Shadow of His Celebrati...

Under The Shadow Of His Celebration - Part 2 - Part 1 of 3

April 01, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Jesus has a way of ministering to each of us, personally. We hope you had a great Easter celebration. We're going to bask in the afterglow of the Resurrection for a little while longer, as Jim has some more thoughts about the Lord inviting Himself to that "fishing trip" in John 21. This is a more informal talk, musing about the various men on that boat - since we have most of their names - and what this appearance may have meant to each one of them. We call this, Under the Shadow of His Cel...

Under The Shadow Of His Celebration - Part 2 of 2

March 29, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Jesus knows where the fish are... and He knew where Peter's heart was. The One who used to ask His disciples for information -"Who touched Me?" "Who do men say that I am?" - now knows everything. That's one of the four things that the resurrected Christ revealed to the men on that John 21 fishing trip. We'll talk about all four today, including the revelation that Jesus controls the revelations; He comes to you. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cinc...

Under The Shadow Of His Celebration - Part 1 of 2

March 28, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Hey, didn't we have 7 names on the signup sheet for the men's fishing trip? I'm counting 8! As we move into an early Easter or Resurrection Sunday holiday, we'll look at an account that's well suited for the occasion. We're still tracking James, who's gone along on a fishing retreat with some of the guys. If you've read John's Gospel, you know the story: Jesus shows up. Jim will talk about four things that Christ came to reveal that morning. The sermon is, Under the Shadow of His Celebrat...

Under The Shadow Of The Cloud - Part 2 - Part 3 of 3

March 27, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

What's the agenda for this meeting? The purpose of the transfiguration of Christ on the mountain was clear: to reveal to Peter, James and John the true nature of their Lord. It was a way to open their eyes to reality. But Jesus would gain something from this event, as well. That seems to be why Moses and Elijah were invited to the meeting. And their discussion centered on, not eternal glory, but the imminent crisis. Today we'll complete Jim's sermon, Under the Shadow of the Cloud, Part 2. ...

Under The Shadow Of The Cloud - Part 2 - Part 2 of 3

March 26, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

And then Jesus said something truly revolting. Cannibalism. Isn't that what the Lord was talking about? Only recently He was providing tasty fish sandwiches - and now He's telling us to eat His flesh and drink His blood? What in the world?! It would take an Israelite with a very strong stomach to even stick around to hear the explanation of that. And that reaction was exactly what Christ wanted. Let's join Jim in the Gospel of John, chapter 6. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday thro...

Under The Shadow Of The Cloud - Part 2 - Part 1 of 3

March 25, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Before the Mountain, was the Meal. Last week we looked at the Mount of Transfiguration experience for Peter, John, and especially James. But it will help us appreciate that event if we'll flip back a few pages, and see what was happening just before. Yes, we'll hear from our old and true friend, Context. And the context was a confrontation between Jesus, and some folks He had just fed. Pastor Jim calls this sermon, Under the Shadow of the Cloud, Part 2. Listen to Right Start Radio every Mo...

Under The Shadow Of The Cloud - Part 2 of 2

March 22, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

The Mount of Transfiguration changed everything for James - and for Jesus! As we try to gather any details we can about the life of James bar Zebedee, we climb with him up a mountain where the Lord will give him and two other disciples an unimaginable privilege - that of seeing His glory. And in many ways this was the beginning of the end. From that mountaintop it was a straight shot to Mount Calvary. Here's Jim with the finale of his sermon, Under the Shadow of the Cloud. Listen to Righ...

Under The Shadow Of The Cloud - Part 1 of 2

March 21, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

If you want to hear a word from Jesus, you might have to stop talking! We've begun to tag along with the Apostle James, John's brother. In the previous sermon we witnessed the call that James got from the Lord. That call certainly changed his life, but maybe not as much as the scene we'll study next: the Mount of Transfiguration. As usual, Peter steals the scene. And he seems to be ad-libbing when he should be listening. Today and tomorrow Jim will take us Under the Shadow of the Cloud. L...

Under The Shadow Of His Call - Part 2 of 2

March 20, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Did Jesus have some kind of hypnotic power that drew people to follow Him? When we see the Lord walking by the sea and calling out to Peter and Andrew, and then to James and John, "Follow Me," and they just drop everything to follow Him, what's going on there? Did those men have a spontaneous realization about Him? Did He possess some personal magnetism? Or were they prepared for the call in some way that's not recorded in the Gospels? Most importantly, have we heard that call? Listen to...

Under The Shadow Of His Call - Part 1 of 2

March 19, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

What was so great about James the Greater? James, the son of Zebedee, was not only part of the "inner circle" of disciples, he was the first Apostle to be martyred. That's a high honor. But today Pastor Jim will show us that we may have a lot in common with this man. He's not the author of the Epistle of James; that's the Lord's half-brother. So who was he? In our new series, we'll search the New Testament for details about this Christian leader who lived Under the Shadow of Jesus. Liste...

Sacrifices That Please God - Part 2 of 2

March 18, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Does my gift make God yawn - or worse? When we give our Father a present, we want Him to like it! And we want to avoid the example of Cain, with his offensive offering. The writer of Hebrews has said that God is not impressed with our good-doing and our law-keeping. Well, then, what does He take delight in, now that the key sacrifice has been made by Jesus? Today Jim will wrap up our Hebrews series with Part 2 of his sermon called, Sacrifices that Please God. Listen to Right Start Radio e...

Sacrifices That Please God - Part 1 of 2

March 15, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Under Grace, what is the function of the Law? In a way, this question was bound to come up. It always arises when we try to think-through the full implications of the gospel. If, as we gladly proclaim, salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus; and if we insist that "by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified," can't we be accused of "nullifying the law?" What does the author of Hebrews mean when he writes that "a former commandment is set aside?" Listen to Right Start Radi...

Hang On To Grace - Part 3 of 3

March 14, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Was Jesus the "Passover Lamb," or a different beast altogether? The writer of Hebrews takes us beyond the easy comparison of Christ with the sacrifice made at Passover, and on to another sacrifice, another animal, another day. And this symbolism doesn't make some obscure theological point; the point is practical, and applies to us: We are to follow this Sacrifice "outside the camp." We're in Hebrews 13, about verse 9 and following, with Jim. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through...

Hang On To Grace - Part 2 of 3

March 13, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Martin Luther wrote, "What comes by the works of the law is disgrace rather than grace." As pleased as we may be with our own accomplishments, to God they must seem like the scribbles of a child. Our puny efforts and flimsy trophies certainly won't give us anything to hold on to when things get rough. We'll see that clearly today, as we continue in the last part of Hebrews 12 and the first part of chapter 13. Here's Jim with more of his sermon, Hang on to Grace. Listen to Right Start Radi...

Hang On To Grace - Part 1 of 3

March 12, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

When things start shaking, hang on to something! When everything that we thought was solid starts to collapse around us, where can we go? What can we find in our created, shakable world, that intrudes from the unshakable Kingdom? Well, there's the Word of God - the revelation of and by Jesus. His words are our rock, our solid foundation. And there is grace. The writer of Hebrews urges us to Hang on to Grace. That's Jim's sermon that we'll launch today. Listen to Right Start Radio every Mo...

The Law Of The New Covenant - Part 1 of 1

March 11, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

How many laws do we need? No one knows how many laws we have in the United States. If we were to count Federal, State and local statutes, plus regulations, you and I would find ourselves buried under tens of thousands of laws. It makes the burden of the 600-plus Old Covenant laws seem light! But what kind of people would we have to be, to be governed by only one law? Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH...

Our God Is A Consuming Fire - Part 3 of 3

March 08, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

If God is going to remove everything can be shaken... and that means "created things"... and we are created things... where does that leave us? Christians were born into the original created order, but we've been born again into the New Creation. We're now members of the unshakable Kingdom! That is very good news, which Jim will unpack today. From Hebrews he'll take us to half-a-dozen places in the New Testament as he wraps up his message, Our God is a Consuming Fire. Listen to Right Sta...

Our God Is A Consuming Fire - Part 2 of 3

March 07, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Is fire friend, or foe? Fire gives us barbecue, and heated homes, and the internal combustion engine. It also destroys homes. And lives. In the Bible, fire refines and purifies the sons of Levi, and it kills the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah. Fire is a symbol of God's presence (the burning bush); of His guidance (the pillar of fire by night); and of His holiness and wrath. Friend or foe, this Fire cannot be controlled. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160...

Our God Is A Consuming Fire - Part 1 of 3

March 06, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Do Christians have a sinister motive for supporting Israel? There are dark rumors, spread by ill-informed people, that believers in Jesus really don't have the Jews' best interests at heart - to put it mildly! Jim wanted to take a few minutes at the start of this sermon to put those rumors to rest, if possible. For the broadcast, this will make a single-day break from our Hebrews study. Jim will open with prayer Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cinci...

Inheriting What Cannot Be Lost - Part 3 of 3

March 05, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

The final warning of the Book of Hebrews. The New Covenant is immeasurably better than the Old Covenant. Our new High Priest and His sacrifice are improvements in every way. There's no good reason to back to the dead end, and the dead works, of the Law - so we've learned in the book of Hebrews. But! That makes our commitment to this New Way an even more serious matter. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, ...

Inheriting What Cannot Be Lost - Part 2 of 3

March 04, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Heaven is real, and we should act like it! Of course the idea of people floating around on clouds playing harps is ridiculous. But so is the popular notion that Heaven contains whatever makes you happy, as well as the view that it might be different for different people; "Heaven is a state of mind," to the fiction writers. No, Heaven is an actual address, with definable qualities. Hebrews chapter 12 reveals some of the people and things we'll find there - including "the Judge of All." List...

Inheriting What Cannot Be Lost - Part 1 of 3

March 01, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Mount Sinai was touchable - but you were forbidden to touch it! Beginning at Hebrews 12:18 the writer contrasts 2 mountains - Sinai and Zion - obviously representing the 2 Covenants. And what a contrast it is! He seems to be piling on one last great metaphor to show the futility of the Old, and the fulfillment in the New. But there's more in this passage, and Pastor Jim will help us dig it out. His sermon is called, Inheriting What Cannot be Lost. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday...

Graced To Be Gracious - Part 3 of 3

February 29, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Does the message of grace make people careless? Sometimes it does. By chapter 12 the author of Hebrews has made his main point: It's absurd to go back to the Law and works-righteousness - a system that did not work. The Jewish Christians needed to go forward in faith. But, as we know, that can sometimes feel like there are no guardrails. The writer reminds us that we're still dealing with the same God; the holy one! Here's Jim to conclude, Graced to be Gracious. Listen to Right Start Radio...

Graced To Be Gracious - Part 2 of 3

February 28, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Esau wanted a mulligan! We've all been there - realized that we not only made the wrong decision, but we made it for stupid and self-indulgent reasons. And now we're stuck with the consequences. Well, Jacob's brother Esau was the poster-boy for selling your destiny to serve your appetite, and living to regret it. Are there Esaus in the church? Is there one in the mirror? And what do we do about that? Jim is in Hebrews 12 for Part 2 of, Graced to be Gracious. Listen to Right Start Radio ...

Graced To Be Gracious - Part 1 of 3

February 27, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Some responsibilities are more important than others. A lot of people think of the Bible as one big rule book. They believe that, if they were to open it, they would find "Thou Shalt Nots" up and down every page. Well, there's a lot more to Scripture than that, as we've seen even in our study of the book of Hebrews. But there are some imperatives, of course. And when the Maker, in His Instruction Manual, writes, "See to it...," then we'd better see to it! Jim will pray to open his sermon,...

Trusting Through The Tough Times - Part 2 of 2

February 26, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

If my Father loves me, why is He allowing all of this to happen? Christians understand that we're not just bumping around in a cosmic pinball machine. God is working out a plan that includes us. It's especially important to remember that when we're victims of persecution, as the early Jewish Christians were. The letter addressed to them spelled out the meaning behind their hardships. On Friday Jim gave an illustration from the life of Job, and another from the Upper Room. He'll give us one...

Trusting Through The Tough Times - Part 1 of 2

February 23, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

If you're catching flak, you must be over the target! Darkness cannot abide light; the world hates those chosen out of the world... we have several warnings like that in the New Testament, that goodness will not be tolerated. So we'll be tempted to quit. We'll be coerced to compromise. And that's why the letter to the Hebrews exists. The author gives us strong reasons to choose the danger of truth over the safety of falsehood. Here's Jim with, Trusting Through the Tough Times. Listen to ...

Running With The Bulls - Part 2 of 2

February 22, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Jesus could have come down from the Cross. "It wasn't the nails that held Him to the Cross." There's a gospel song about that; Billy Graham and others have made similar remarks. What kept Christ impaled on that wood hour after hour was His love for us. And His love for the Father. And His focus on the prize. If we want to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep our faith, we'll need to tap into our Lord's motivation for "enduring the hostility of sinners." Listen to Right Start Rad...

Running With The Bulls - Part 1 of 2

February 21, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

"Is not the life of man upon earth a temptation, and that without intermission?" Those opening words from Augustine have us nodding our heads. We feel the pressure all around us, every day, to take a shortcut; to tell a bit less than the whole truth; to feed the flesh, and starve our spirit. Temptation without intermission. It's difficult to run a race with all these distractions. And baggage! We'll talk about both today, as Jim continues in Hebrews 12. Listen to Right Start Radio every ...

For The Joy Set Before Him - Part 2 of 2

February 20, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

God's promise will be delivered! We've learned that the book of Hebrews looks toward the future - as should we. Our sufferings here and now are not the permanent state of things. Yesterday we thought about the "joy" beyond the Cross that sustained Jesus: He will rule all. His enemies will be made His footstool. But there is more, and today Jim will take us to 1 Corinthians and Revelation to see God's "end game." Here's Part 2 of, For the Joy Set Before Him. Listen to Right Start Radio ...

For The Joy Set Before Him - Part 1 of 2

February 19, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

What was "the joy set before" Jesus? In Hebrews 12 we get this instruction: "...looking only at Jesus, the Originator and Completer of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross...." What joy is that? We could try to imagine what it would take to incentivize us to go through utter humiliation, rejection, pain, abandonment and death. Or would anything be worth that? Fortunately, we can get the answer from Scripture. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WC...

Faith Is Not Just For The Heavyweights - Part 3 of 3

February 16, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Miracles, victories, resurrection...torture? In Hebrews 11 we find one of the most abrupt pivots in all of literature. We're reading about the superstars of faith and their wonderful exploits, and suddenly - things take a very dark turn. How can the same faith, and the same God, give these very different results? Jim will pick it up with the story of Ruth. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm...

Faith Is Not Just For The Heavyweights - Part 2 of 3

February 15, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Before King David and Christ Jesus, there had to be a call girl, Rahab! There's an old English saying, "He who has no fools, knaves, or beggars in his family was begot by a flash of lightning." Well, Jesus was conceived miraculously - and He still had shady ancestors! Don't look now, but there's a Gentile prostitute in the family line of Messiah, and in Hebrews 11. That's a small person with a great God! But Faith is Not Just for the Heavyweights, Jim says. Listen to Right Start Radio eve...

Faith Is Not Just For The Heavyweights - Part 1 of 3

February 14, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Who do you think you are? When we gaze at the heroes of faith, as we've been doing, we may hear a voice that sounds like us, saying: "Well, yes, but I'm no Moses. I'm no Abraham. I'm certainly not Christ! How can I have faith like them?" But if we continue reading Hebrews 11 we'll find a Canaanite prostitute. Suddenly the example is a little more down-to-earth. Rahab and her household were saved from destruction by faith. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 11...

Faith Is A Choice - Part 3 of 3

February 13, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Do we have a happy-verse-on-the-wall kind of faith, or a blood-on-the-doorframe kind? Not all of God's communications to us will be "positive," as some people classify things. But what if Moses hadn't taken seriously God's threat of the tenth plague in Egypt - the death of every firstborn not protected by the blood of a lamb? That took faith, too. Here's Part 3 of Jim's sermon, Faith is a Choice. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:...

Faith Is A Choice - Part 2 of 3

February 12, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

People will tell you to "follow your heart." But that's what we always do. When you get right down to it, we're always living out what we believe (not what we say we believe, but what we truly believe); and we're always pursuing what we love. The question is, do we see the big reward way off in the distance, or have we decided that today's little pleasures are all we can get? On Friday we started looking at Moses as an example. Here's Jim to continue his message, Faith is a Choice. Liste...

Faith Is A Choice - Part 1 of 3

February 09, 2024 04:00 - 22.8 MB

Moses chose. If we have no free will, as some insist, what does the Bible mean that Moses "chose...to suffer affliction with the people of God?" In fact, the passage of Hebrews 11 that we'll study today shows that Moses made several bold decisions. The sermon is called, Faith is a Choice.
