Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

Typically, a person in the ninth grade is going to have more knowledge than one in fourth. That’s how it works…you learn and grow. As believers, we need to seek out wisdom in others if we want to grow spiritually. If we’re satisfied with a superficial understanding of God, we’ll never fully know Him. Today, we’ll hear about this and more keys from Scripture about how to live a better life.

The rush of first love, driving off the lot in your new car, graduating with a degree…you can vividly recall the intense excitement you felt in those moments. But, where is that excitement now? Emotion is fleeting, and today we’ll hear of the folly in seeking fulfillment outside of Jesus. Something changes in you when you’re walking with Him, when that emptiness has been filled.

There’s that little voice in your head…”When I’m making a little more money…then I’ll give.” We all want to feel financially secure, but God is our only true refuge from life’s uncertainty. Today, we’ll hear Pastor Daniel urge us that the time to be generous is now. Maybe you’ll never get that raise…but you can give what you do have. In your faithfulness, the Father provides.

Words can be soothing, and they can be harsh…words can uplift or break down someone’s spirit. The words you say are your choice…but they all make an impact. As we’ll hear today from Pastor Daniel, God cares about what we say…and whether or not we follow through with our words. Before we say anything, we should be asking the Lord to hear from Him…to listen and obey.

Have you ever brought an idea to a group of people, and the more they contributed their ideas…the better it got? If you would have stopped with just your initial thought…it would have been mediocre. God wants us to embrace community for just that reason. As we’ll find in today’s message, the more people support each other, the stronger each individual becomes.

You may not realize it, but you have a lot of power. Every day, you make choices to treat people with either kindness, or contempt. God created us for relationships, but we’re not naturally good at it…because we’re selfish. Relationships are where we learn to act like Jesus. Every time we serve someone else, we’re making a powerful choice, one that will heal and not hurt.

Our motivations, our actions…they’re often carried out with primary consideration given to our own desires, or to please others. When that’s the case, we don’t have a proper respect for the authority of our Father. Don’t give preference to the world. Today, as Pastor Daniel teaches from Ecclesiastes three, we’ll discover the beauty of fearing God, and being governed by Him.

Working in a monotonous job doesn’t feel like a gift. Struggling with cancer doesn’t feel like a gift. But, LIFE is a gift from God. As you’ll hear today, we can EXPECT beauty, mystery and eternity in Him. Our struggle is with timing…we don’t understand it, but God creates purpose from everything. Be encouraged, as Pastor Daniel takes us through the hope of human experience in a life lived for God.

When it’s a sweltering ninety-five degrees outside, we complain. The memory of a cold, snowy winter is long gone. We complained about that, too. When you’re in a new season of your life, you forget about the past seasons of stormy turmoil. Sometimes, that means you forget about God, too. Today, we’ll see why, in rain or sunshine…God must remain at the center of our lives.

A car, a house, a 401 K, college…there are a lot of things we work for, that we invest countless hours of our lives. We should experience the life God has given us…but there is a tipping point where you can start living more for now than for eternity. Today, Pastor Daniel will help us find that line, and shift our priorities heavenward.
