Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

In Jesus day, loving your neighbor didn't take you much farther than a neighboring country you might not particularly like. Now, with technology that connects us across the globe, Pastor Daniel will teach that our neighbor might be on the other side of the world! We have access to almost everything and everyone on earth, so our loving them needs to be visible always. Today we'll be reminded that we MUST love everyone, just as Jesus loved us – unconditionally!

Jesus has never fit any mold we can create as humans. He's God, so He makes the mold! Pastor Daniel today reminds us how differently Jesus lived on His time here on earth, and how perfectly He lived that life! People didn't know how to handle Him, so they asked many questions, many that we have today too. We'll learn in this new series how to emulate Jesus and His ability to love everyone, and avoid getting put in a box ourselves!

If we already know the outcome of the battle, it changes the way we fight, doesn't it? This is a truth that Pastor Daniel wants us to hold on to today – our God is already victorious! We need to allow the faith we have in our Almighty Creator to carry us through every trial, knowing that He's already won against our enemy. Nothing Satan can do can change that, so we may as well stand courageously in the midst of the battle!

The Bible is filled with accurate, historical facts we can learn from, but it doesn't contain every single piece of information from every moment of that time! In today's message, Pastor Daniel shares that while we know some of the battles fought to give the Promised Land to Israel, many aren't recorded for us. That's okay, though! We can trust that God inspired what was to be in the Bible, and therefore all we NEED to know was included!

Things rarely – possibly never – happen on our schedules when it comes to spiritual matters! God has His own timeline, and we can be sure it's the better way of going about it! However, the waiting can be tough. Pastor Daniel will encourage us through today's message to take those times of waiting to display God's faithfulness, and work on our own! God is still moving and will fulfill the promises He made, and His glory will be seen when He does!

God can and does use people exactly where they are in what they're doing. You don't have to be making a lot of money or have the top job – God wants to use you today, right now! Pastor Daniel will encourage all of us through today's message to embrace the everyday opportunities to have and show faith. It could be that the little things are exactly what God's using to draw someone else to Himself, and you can have a part in that!

When things happen in our lives, we typically are left with a void of information, or a gap. Today, Pastor Daniel tells us that we're responsible for how we handle that gap! We could choose to be angry, or wallow in despair. Or, we could choose to have faith. We may not be able to see how God will pull us out of our situation, but we can rely on what we know to be true about God. He is good, He is powerful, and He will always do what's best for us!

Sometimes God gives us clear direction in where we're to go or what we're to do. Sometimes, though, He's less than specific. In today's message, Pastor Daniel tells us that we still may need to go even if we're unsure where! In those times, we need to rely on what we know of God and His goodness and love, and step forward in faith. Along the way, we also need to remain in communication with Him and be ready to do as He asks!

The human heart wants all kinds of things, some that are good, and some that turn out to be not so good. In today's message, Pastor Daniel reminds us that we're not always good at distinguishing the good from the bad as God sees it. When we have decisions to make, it's wise to have discerning friends to help us keep perspective! God has great plans for each of us, but sometimes we need others to help us stay focused on those plans!

When everything is going well in life and we feel like there's nothing we can't tackle, it's easier to praise God and thank Him for His blessing. But what about the times when the storms roll in? Today Pastor Daniel reminds us to still keep our focus on God, especially in the uncertain times of life! Instead of complaining about the circumstances, we should ask God to reveal what His plans are and how we get to be part of it!
