Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

It’s a driving force for people in their lives, to seek meaning in their lives…and, when we feel a void, we want to fill it up. Today’s message will flip that approach on its head, as we learn that happiness really SHOULDN’T be our goal. Happiness is a fruit that comes from living for something greater than ourselves.

If you have a thirst for knowledge, then you’ll relate to Solomon’s request to God

for wisdom. We have a great advantage in being able to see what Solomon did with

that knowledge…and how he viewed his life at the end. Today, Pastor Daniel tells us

why there’s only one pursuit in life that won’t leave you empty: relationship with the Father.

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.

Think of the person you're closest to, and back to the time you first met them. You probably have a very different image of who they are now compared to then. As we'll hear today, God wants to reveal Himself to, in and through our lives...and He did that through every detail associated with the Savior's birth...a gorgeous picture of His love for us.

Here's the classic story: A penniless street kid uses his wit and ingenuity to rise above the titans of industry, amassing great status and wealth. That's not the story you'll hear today, but a better one: A Son comes into the world, poor. He lives His life in humility and grace, giving everything He is so we can have life.

It's our nature to build up walls of security around us...in whatever way is specific to our individual comforts. But, at some point in every life, those walls come crumbling down. Exposed, defenseless, vulnerable...we frantically try to build again. But, today, we'll find an alternative...how in Jesus, we can accept the rubble and as He rebuilds us anew.

You've heard it said, that a true test of faith comes when God is moving you in a direction that goes against your own desires...and few are a greater example of humility and obedience than Mary. In today's teaching, we'll hear how this woman accepted God's plan for her, and whatever trials would come.

When God tells us, in His Word, that we should not fear...it seems impossible, right? God knows that there is nothing in our control, and once we know that...we can accept that we've found His favor. He'll work through our lives if we let Him. Today, Pastor Daniel will challenge us to acknowledge that it's our own fear holding us back.

There is messiness that happens in life when a person accepts that Jesus is the Messiah...you have to put aside your own plans and life maps and humble yourself to His. Our hearts on our own can lead us down a destructive path, but Jesus is the ultimate safety net...even if it's not always easy, His plans end in life.
