Thanksgiving is around the corner and for too many of us, it is our once-a-year time to ponder what we are thankful for. In this message on the Christian mindset, Nathan Johnson teaches on Philippians 2:6 and talks about what thanksgiving is suppose to look like in the life of a believer.

Study: 57 – An Intimate Nearness (Ephesians 2:18)

Christianity is far more than a religion. It is more than a religious duty of obligations, dos and don’ts, or mere behaviors we are to imitate. Christianity, ultimately, is about relationship. God’s salvific work in our lives was not only to forgive our sins but to draw us into an intimate nearness in relationship and intimacy. In this expositional message from Ephesians 2:18, Nathan Johnson examines what it means for us to have access unto the Father through Jesus by the Spirit.

 

As Philip Hartman concludes his mini-series Psalm 16, he focuses at the conclusion and climax of the passage (verses 9-11): "Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

 

In this powerful overview of the book of Hebrews, Dan McConnaughey enunciates the book as the manifesto for the Person and work of Christ and it stands against the traditions and religions of men. Throughout the message, Dan exhorts us to be men and women in whom the Spirit of God is, full of the content of the Word, and ready to communicate it. He reminds us that those whom we call Christian heroes, the Bible just calls normal Christians.

 

In this mini-series, Philip Hartman expounds upon Psalm 16:7-9 – "I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me; Because [He is] at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope."

Our lives as Christians are to be places of prayer – but most of us pray and wonder if God hears us or why He doesn’t respond. In this message from Philippians 4:6, Nathan Johnson talks about what it means to be a place of prayer for all the nations and ten key things the Bible tells us that hinders prayer.

Study: 56 – Proclaiming Peace (Ephesians 2:16-17)

Jesus not only IS peace, He also proclaims peace. In this expositional message, Nathan Johnson examines Ephesians 2:16-17 and talks about the power of reconciliation, how it relates to peace, and why it is a beautiful and powerful declaration when we proclaim the Gospel of peace.

477: To the Very End // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 84 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-fourth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he discusses the strange and intoxicating effect of VE Day (Victory in Europe) on the Allies. It was like a sleeping pill. They defeated Hitler, but May 6th, 1945 was not the time to lay down the weapons, curl up in a ball, and take a long nap. Japan was still threatening in the Pacific and a new menace (previously an Ally), known as the Soviet Union, was quickly becoming a hostile element in Eastern Europe. How often we stop short of complete victory because we are satisfied with a partial victory. 

476: An Unfinished Portrait // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 83 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-third installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he explores the strange and history-altering month of April 1945. Three critical world leaders will die in this one month all within three weeks of each other. But there is one death amongst the three that will shock the world more than all the others — the death of President Franklin Roosevelt.  His death in every sense, proved to be "an unfinished portrait”. Eric takes this unique piece of history and ties it into our spiritual lives today, demonstrating how each of our lives can finish strong instead of fade with a premature passing.
