Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

If you consider how many mistakes you continue to make, despite knowing right from wrong…God’s grace truly is a miracle. But, as we find in the case of Isaac and Jacob today, we still experience the aftermath of our sin. Pastor Daniel will clarify what it means to reap what we sow, even while covered by grace.

When you’ve put your faith in God, He’s blessing you without you always knowing it. With Isaac, he continually finds water in a dry place…without trying at all, because God provides. As Pastor Daniel takes us through the account of Isaac worshiping, we’ll find that we can, and should, be worshiping Him all the time.

Although we’re not condemned by ‘the sins of our fathers’, our parents do have a lot of influence on the struggles we have as adults. Kids learn from their parents. In today’s teaching, Pastor Daniel notes that Isaac will fall into the same fleshly fear as his father, and deception will be no stranger to his grandsons, either.

Two babies, wrestling in the womb. It’s a funny picture, but for Rebekah, her babies would eventually become opposing nations. Pastor Daniel brings us an insightful look at this story of two brothers, as he likens it to a war within each of us. The flesh and the spirit, always at odds…but we can determine which one is the victor.

“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” It’s easy to get caught up in earthly goals…working hard for a house, or vacation. But, what if your daily focus was faith? As Pastor Daniel comes to this part of Genesis, Abraham is at the end of his life, and looking back, his faithfulness is evident.

As a society, we’ve become accustomed to always having something to distract us at every moment. Even when we have an opportunity to rest, we pick up our phones. Today, Pastor Daniel will lead us to take notice of Isaac in a moment of meditation, and the power of a quiet moment with God.

When you tell your kid to clean up their room, they rarely run to the task. When God asks something of us that isn’t our own, exciting idea…we drag our feet. In today’s teaching, Pastor Daniel relates how Rebekah’s family is at first agreeable to her leaving…but then drag their feet. We’ll see who has the true servant’s heart.

A servant’s heart isn’t attention-seeking. As Pastor Daniel describes the servant of Abraham today, we’ll find a parallel between his role and what our own attitudes should be. Like the servant who seeks a bride for the son, our role as the bride of Christ is to draw people to the lover of their souls.

We are often preoccupied with the burdens and cares of this life here on earth. Abraham, as he searched for a burial place for Sarah, described himself as a sojourner, even though he was in the land God gave him. As Pastor Daniel will explain, where we place our value shows the perspective we have on our lives… temporal or eternal.

If you’ve ever had someone in authority—your boss, a police officer—appear out of nowhere…you’re startled. Even if you’re doing nothing wrong, your heart skips a beat. We can often forget that God is our ultimate authority figure and have a casual attitude towards Him…when we should have fear and reverence.
