A Heart after God Bible Teaching Ministry with Pastor Brad Abley

Far too many churches in America have opted for an idolatrous, false gospel -- a "me-centered," feel-good Christian faith that offers everything and requires nothing -- no daily cross-bearing. It has opted for a god who is only loving, never judgmental, and who will certainly never condemn anyone to Hell. But this is not the Jesus of Scripture. 

As far back as 1937, Richard Niebuhr saw this and warned against it with sarcasm: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross."

In this passage, listen carefully to His words and orient your life to the truth of the gospel -- not nice-guy Jesus preachers make Him out to be.

If I knew I had only five messages to preach before I went to heaven, forgiveness would definitely be one of those messages. Living a lifestyle of forgiveness is that vital. The title is a tough, provocative one because its message is so true, so urgent. Please listen to find out why.

While the world -- and even the Church -- is sleeping concerning the things in life that matter more than anything Jesus teaches on a vital matter. Do you understand His return? Do you live with the kind of urgency about His return that He calls you to live with? These are the matters He addresses in this passage in Luke.

Jesus plainly teaches that people are not going to be ready for His return -- yet He urges that all be ready for His return! Why? How? And how could any believer in Him not be ready for His return? Stay tuned to discover the answers! This is Part 104 in our series on Luke's gospel, entitled The Know Your Faith series.

Forgiveness is at the heart of Scripture, from start to finish. Hence, it's an issue of major importance to God. The same holds true for how He views our unwillingness to forgive others. 

The parable that I teach from in Mt. 18:21-35 essentially teaches that if we want God's forgiveness (who gives it when we ask sincerely, if we're united with Jesus) -- but then we refuse to forgive others -- there are horrible consequences for our own bitterness.

I really would urge you to listen to this 28 minute message -- especially if you're bitter towards someone else. 

I would say most Americans are dismayed -- greatly dismayed -- by the level of anger in our nation. In fact, it rarely seems to make sense! But this message -- diagnosed by the Word of God -- answers this question. It also provides many solutions to overcome anger. A note: It has not yet been edited professionally; I just feel like it's a message that needs to get out quickly.

It will air Dec. 31st on my radio program on Wilkins Broadcasting, from Richmond, VA, edited for the best sound quality. When it is, I will upload it here.

Highly respected Old Testament scholar Derek Kidner, in his commentary on Psalm 63 rightly declares this of this psalm: “There may be other psalms that equal this outpouring of devotion; few if any that surpass it.”

Find out why this psalm is so special as we explore what David -- a man with a very deep relationship with God -- writes out of time of great danger and deep personal need. This is the second of three messages on Psalm 63.
