In this special Christmas podcast message, we'll consider the background for some of our Christmas traditions, while answering some of the questions people have about Christmas.  But most importantly, let's talk about having a Christ-filled Christmas!  

When we hear the word "minister", we probably think of those called to full-time ministry.  But the NT makes it clear that all believers are called to minister, using their spiritual gifts.  In this podcast message, titled "The Master's Men", we'll look at Jesus taking His disciples from the place of learning, and sending them into the place of serving.  Join us in Mark Ch. 6!

Often times in our Bible studies, we talk about the blessings and power of faith and believing.  But in this passage from Mark 6, we'll look at the power and consequences of unbelief.  Let's study God's Word together as we look at the time when Jesus went back to His hometown of Nazareth.  

In this beautiful and encouraging passage of Scripture from Mark 5, we'll meet a desperate father, his 12-year old daughter who was sick and dying, as well as a woman plagued with a severe illness for many years.  We'll be reminded about the power of Jesus over death and disease, as well as the importance of God's timing.  Tune in and be encouraged!  

As we approach Thanksgiving, I wanted to share this special devotion titled, "Giving Thanks."  Everyone is busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, so this message is intentionally shorter, but it will help us to focus our hearts and minds where they need to be!

Can the devil or the demons be saved?  Is Satan able to read our minds?  Can the devil control the weather?  Can a believer be demon-possessed?  In this latest podcast message, we're looking at the story of Jesus healing the demoniac in the country of the Gadarenes, in Mark 5.  And as we do, we'll tackle these commonly asked questions, along with others, regarding the devil and the demons.  

As we all know, life can sometimes be difficult and overwhelming.  There are seasons when things are going along reasonably well, and then there are those seasons when trouble is flying at us from every direction.  Why does God allow trials in the life of the believer?  What are some helpful things to remember when we're facing the storms of life?  In this podcast, we'll find the answers to those questions and more in a timely story from Mark 4.

Have you ever felt pressure to see someone get saved when you shared the gospel with them?  Many of us probably have had that experience.  In this podcast message from Mark 4, Jesus explains to us, through a series of 3 brief parables, what we're to do with the gospel; what God does with the gospel; and then what the gospel itself does.  

What is a parable?  Why did Jesus speak in parables so often?  What are some guidelines for interpreting the parables?  In this podcast, we'll tackle the answers to those questions, as well as giving consideration to the first parable of Jesus - the Parable of the Sower.  

It may be hard for us to imagine, but in His ministry, Jesus was accused by unsaved religious leaders of being demon-possessed, and of healing people and casting out demons in the power of Satan!  Today, in what seems to be much more harmless, people believe that Jesus was a good moral teacher, but not the Son of God.  All of it is wrong, and all of it has serious eternal consequences.  Let's talk about that in this podcast message from Mark 3, titled, "The Third Man."
