Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Imagine the most valuable thing in your life…and then that God asks for you to give it over to Him. That’s exactly what He asked of Abraham…his son Isaac. Without understanding, Abraham went forward in faith, and today Pastor Daniel will help us to see this story with new eyes, and how we can have faith like Abraham.

When someone recognizes how God is with you, either they’ll want to know more, or they’ll shy away. Either way, we have to live according to Him all the time…because we never know how things will play out. Today, Pastor Daniel finishes this chapter in Genesis, when Abraham and Abimilech make amends.

If you had to choose the person you imagine would be most resistant to accepting Jesus, who would it be? Has that perception kept you from sharing the gospel with them? In Pastor Daniel’s teaching today, Abraham deals with a person as if God is totally absent…when God was really working all the time.

If you’re conscious of your actions, then you’ve probably noticed that there are certain tendencies or choices that you constantly battle. For Abraham, fear has a very specific way of creeping up on him…and he repeats the same mistakes. Today, Pastor Daniel will help us to deal with those struggles, and overcome them with Jesus.

Today’s teaching from Genesis 19 is an admonition…a sobering reminder of just how far down our flesh can take us. Though the actions of the people of the city, Lot, and his daughters were extreme…all sin falls under judgment. Pastor Daniel will exhort us to apply this teaching in a way that encourages us to seek His will daily.

Remember when you were a kid, and you didn’t want to do something…so you dragged your feet, taking as long as possible to get to it? It was delaying the inevitable, and as Pastor Daniel reminds us today, we can do that with God, too. No matter how long we take, His will is still waiting for us..so let’s not delay.

When you think of a servant, you first think of actions. But serving is also about words. As believers in Jesus, we are to serve Him with everything we are…to all in need. In this teaching, Pastor Daniel will explain just how far Lot goes to protect the visitors he is entertaining…and it’s not pretty.

In prayer, you show up with a spirit of arrogance. Did you realize that? Maybe not all the time, but we’ve all gone to God thinking about all we’ve done for Him…and thinking He owes us. Reflect on your prayer life. Pastor Daniel will ask us to look at Abraham and understand how his humble boldness in going to God was in a spirit of unselfishness.

When you’re in a position to help someone, and you don’t feel like it…you can make all kinds of excuses why you shouldn’t. But, that doesn’t change what’s right. As Pastor Daniel will exhort us today, if we only do the things that feel right, we’re never going to honor Jesus. Ask Him to change your heart.

Obedience to God isn’t always easy, but the fruitful life that it affords saves us from so much hassle and heartache. For most of us, God isn’t asking us to make life-changing sacrifices very often, but we still have a hard time managing the littler things. When Pastor Daniel speaks about what it meant for Abram and his entire household to be circumsized, we begin to understand true obedience.
