A believer who understands his or her rich identity in Christ is unstoppable. But sadly, I find that not many believers know their identity in Christ- particularly in our subject for today - justification.

What is justification? How does knowing it impact your life? Stay tuned to find out.

The Church and society desperately need leaders with character. God knows this, which is why He has so much to say in Scripture about this vital matter.

Find out about this in this broadcast!

Leadership is influence. We all influence others -- for good or bad. But we have assurance from 2 Chronicles 16:9 that God is looking to strongly support those who want to influence others for Him. What does this entail? Find out in this broadcast!

This new series is a further development of a pastor and leader conference I recently held in Uganda.

Truly biblical leaders are in short supply there -- and all over the world. What kind of a leader is God searching for? This will be our focus, with 2 Chronicles 16:9 as our key Scripture.

This third and last installment is on a topic of major importance in Scripture.

Few truths are more life-changing than what the future holds for the believer in Jesus -- yet many are unaware of what the Bible teaches on this matter.

As such, we will seek to carefully examine what it has for us -- and expect our lives to be transformed.

The Bible is a book oft present and eternal, explaining carefully what awaits the believer in Jesus. The promises are astounding, and the biblical writers staked their lives on those promises. What are they? What do they mean? How will they impact you?

The core of the Christian faith is redemption -- seen especially in God's plan for the resurrection and restoration of all things, through faith in Jesus. This is what brings present hope and perspective. Do you know what the Bible teaches on this subject?

No believer in Jesus can take one penny or one material item to Heaven. What will endure, however, is the fruit we develop for Jesus (John 15:1-8).

And so much of the fruitfulness we produce comes through prayer -- prayer to know God, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for others. These prayers -- offered in faith -- will have eternal results. ETERNAL results. I hope this reality stirs you to grow in prayer.

And certainly, the teaching of Jesus here in Mt. 6:5-14 will accomplish so much of this!

I just finished an in-depth study of David's remarkable prayer in Ps. 86 -- certainly one of the greatest prayers and insights into the nature of God anywhere in Scripture (and I will be doing a message series on this soon).

Even so, it cannot improve upon what Jesus teaches in Mt. 6:5-14, the subject of this message.

I continue to marvel at the brilliance of the Lord's Pattern of Prayer 44 years after first learning of it, in Mt. 6:5-14. No teaching on prayer can come close to it!
