Learn more about this call to follow Jesus both in the home and outside the home (as we explore the second part of Titus 2). The Lord calls His people to be holy as He is holy and to shine for Him in this dark world around us. Yes, this means we'll be different and think different than the world, but it also means that we will be able to live out God's call to love and practical life-service for Jesus and others. 

May God bless you as you study His word today! Blessings!

Explore God's call (in Titus 2) to live like Jesus lived, and how we can experience this closer walk with God, in spite of our culture going the opposite direction from Christ.

In this episode we cover the key points of godly living found in verses 1-4 of Titus 2. We talk about the particulars and how these teachings affect our lives in very real, tangible, and practical ways. We learn how to live for Christ, through the power of Christ, in a world that doesn't know Christ! 

Would you like to learn about the characteristics of godly, mature, and growing Christians? How can we become the Christians and leaders God wants us to be? How can we find the kind of leaders God wants and needs in His church? And, how must godly leaders deal with difficult characters and false teachers within churches who are leading others astray? Leadership is not always easy, but how does God call His faithful leaders to stand and take action when bad characters and false teachers begin to threaten the integrity and faithfulness of the believers? Find out in this episode as we dive into the contents of Titus chapter 1 from verse 6 onward.

Blessings in Christ!

In this message we explore the teachings and example of Jesus regarding the Sabbath day in the New Testament. What did Jesus have to say about this commanded day of weekly rest and worship? What was His example regarding it? You might be surprised by these incredible teachings of Jesus! Many people read right over and miss them...and yet, it's surprising how much Jesus actually has to say. Let's explore Jesus' incredible teachings together, to answer this important question, "Does Jesus Care about the Sabbath?"

In this message we'll explore the heart of the missionary, looking at how the Bible defines that heart of the missionary, primarily through the life of Jesus, other missionaries, and biblical commentary on their lives. We'll also take a look at a modern missionary named John Chau who fully committed his life to serving Jesus, no matter what that might entail.

In this message discover Jesus' "hard teaching" of John 6 that caused many of His followers to draw back, simply because they could not allow themselves faith to discern the depth of His teaching. Also, discover how Christians were accused of being cannibals! Let the real truth be known, as we learn God's word together in this exciting podcast! Flesh-eating blood-drinkers? Hmm...let's see what Jesus was really talking about!

In this episode we delve into Jesus' teachings and practice on the subject of foot washing. Jesus washed the feet of His disciples on the very night in which he was taken into custody and soon after crucified. In doing so, He shared some very important last-minute teachings with His disciples. What meaning do these things hold for us? How can we benefit from these teachings of Jesus? Find out more in this message!

In this message we will explore God's path of true fulfillment vs. the counterfeit one being offered by the world.

In this message we explore the verses and teachings of Jesus and His apostles on the subject of hell fire. We look into how hell was used in evangelism and especially with nurturing and mentoring believers to follow God, and even how hypocrites were met with this subject within these teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. We see the different Greek words used in different verses to describe the subject, and ultimately how the Bible pictures hell in the final judgment foretold in the Book of Revelation. This study should be an enlightening message, helping to provide clarity to often misunderstood or misused texts. 

Thanks for listening!

Blessings,
