Protection from Cults or even controlling dysfunctional Christian leaders can be accomplished by understanding not just the words of Jesus but "Who Jesus Is" and understanding... the "kind of person" that He is. Cult leaders use the words of Jesus but "detached" them from the person and character of Jesus! Beware. The best and only context for the Words of Jesus is the person and character of Jesus. You absolutely have to know who a person is, to understand what they are saying.Let me say it ...

As we are looking at the alignment of Russia & China, the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence and bizarre developments in human gene editing, the future looks beyond comprehension for most of us. Like never before our "history" or connection w/Jesus is no longer negotiable due to busyness or distraction or mere neglect. I look at 3 steps to build our personal connection w/Jesus... 1) the knowledge of God's raw goodness as seen in the life of Jesus relating to imperfect people, 2)...

Here are the Biblical Passages so you can look them up yourself and mark up your Bibles during Worship!1. Did you know Micah predicted where Jesus would be born? (about 700 years before Jesus arrived)“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:22. Jesus could not have controlled His lineage and who ...

Take a quick look with me at the unspoken expectations we form of what God should do, when He should do it and how He should do it verses actually listening to God and following Him. You will be astonished to see Peter trying to control and manipulate Jesus and also be delighted with Jesus' good response to Peter over the course of his entire life - but especially at the Sea of Galilee when Peter meets Jesus again on the sea shore! Jesus takes fallible, imperfect broken people and makes quali...

I use the backdrop of some modern technology and the current China-Russia alliance to urge us to develop the different layers and depth of our connection with Jesus. Lastly I focus on 1 layer called "When God Came Through" and give an example of one of my When God Came Through stories and how to use them to fight battles against fear!Resources:Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you like an episode or you have suggestions how to improve an episode.Search for “God I...

We get really confused by the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus gave us the commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, not to earn anything or to try to be "good enough" to get saved but because He saw us like Sheep without a Shepherd and He had radical compassion on us!!!He knew that going to heaven and being saved was free! Jesus knew it was by grace through faith. He gave us the commandments to protect us from destroying our own lives and the lives of others around us.But the devil know the best w...

Human beings have existed in an agricultural and farming culture and context for 1,000s of years but now after a brief interlude though the Industrial Revolution we exist in the Information Age. Therefore , isn't it interesting that Genesis records the beginning of suffering, pain and death with the Tree of Knowledge? And specifically the knowledge of what "we" think is good and evil? And what about that beautiful tree,.. the Tree of Life? What is that tree about? Come think with me and drink...

This is the 2nd half of the podcast on Noah's Flood. I wanted to summarize and look at Sodom and Gomorrah, the Exodus from Egypt, the Roman Conquest of Jerusalem in AD 70 and the book of Revelation relative to people's free will desire to respond to God or cling to evil. It's wonderful seeing that any who are willing to listen and learn will be protected, cherished and saved.Resources:Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you like an episode or you have suggestions h...

I have heard so many people ask (and I have asked myself), "If God is so loving, why did He kill people in Noah's flood? Why does God seem so mean?" I've gone back to re-read the history of Noah's flood and there are a number of things I missed when I first read this. Consider listening and you will discover God's goodness in this time of history and find some satisfying answers to out doubts and fears about God's character. This will enhance our ability to trust Him!Resources:Please feel fre...
