In this episode, we look at the importance of showing forth both sympathy and empathy to those around us, especially our fellow believers. We look at how these two terms differ, how they’re related and what they look like as active parts of our day to day life. Paul said that in his ministering and reaching out to others he became all things to all men, and we see how that reveals his willingness to show his fellow men sympathy and empathy. These qualities can make an incredible difference both in our lives and in the lives of those around us. We need to make the choice today to be sympathetic and empathetic.

In this episode, we look at how we as the people of God, can seek after His righteousness. We go throughout scripture to see what exactly righteousness is, why we can’t rely on our own to save us and why we need to seek after His. We’re told to seek first His righteousness, which means that we need to make it our greatest priority, we need to be willing to go after it whole-heartedly and be willing to sacrifice whatever is called for in order to receive it, nothing is more necessary in our lives than having His righteousness. Let’s make the choice today to seek after the Lord, His Kingdom and His righteousness with our whole hearts.

In this episode, we look at the importance of sacrificing and what exactly we’re called to sacrifice. We go throughout scripture to see just how fundamental it is to our faith and we see what Jesus has to say about it. He called for an astonishing level of sacrifice, a sacrifice not just of someone or something in our life, but of our life itself, and we look at what exactly that means in the spiritual sense and how we can follow what He commands us to do. We know that if we’re willing to lose, if we’re willing to put it all on the line for God, that we will find and He’ll lead us, through the Holy Spirit, into all truth. Let’s make the choice today to sacrifice ourselves on the altar to God.

In this episode, we look at Jesus’ command to us, for us to forgive always. We look at why when he told Peter to forgive seventy times seven times, he used an exact number and how that number correlates in other versions to the only other place in scripture where we find that same number used. We find that there’s a special connection to Lamech who wanted vengeance, not forgiveness. We then look at the parable of the servant forgiven of his master who then wouldn’t forgive his fellow servant of a much smaller debt. We look at all the lessons we can learn about this about why and how we’re to forgive those who’ve wronged us. Let’s make the choice today to forgive.

In this episode, we look at how exactly we can receive wisdom. We know that we’re called to have and operate in wisdom, we know it’s the Lord’s desire for us to use it, we know it has many benefits in our life, but how do we actually get it? We should all want wisdom, and many people have asked for it while not feeling they received it, but why is this? We go throughout scripture to explore this and more. Our wisdom should set us apart from the world and it’s time for God’s people to receive the wisdom that’s promised us.

In this episode, we look at the famine of hope that’s plaguing the church today. We look at the reasons why this is happening, we look at the root of the problems and we look at how it can be fixed. We’re called to be people who live lives defined by hope. We serve the God of hope. It’s our job today to not give in to the lies and deceptions of the enemy that try to get us to lose our hope, we need to recover and hold on to the hope from God that belongs to us. Let’s make the choice today to live in hope.

In this episode, we look at what exactly the key of knowledge is. We see how we can use it and what it opens. We see how this has a direct connection to the fact that Jesus is the door and what that entails for our lives. This also has a connection to the lies and deceptions that are brought about by legalists and religious elite, by which they attempt to control God’s people. We go throughout scripture to see these deceptions for what they are. Let’s make the choice today to use the key of knowledge in the way that God would have us to.

In this episode, we look at how the devil foments division amongst God’s people. We look at what exactly division is, how it comes about, and how it grows and festers. We also see the dangerous things it can lead to. Division is all too evident in the Church today but we can’t allow it to stay that way. It’s never God’s will for His people to be divided, we can’t let the devil get the upper hand by giving in to his lies and deceptions. Let’s make the choice today to be and stay united.

In this episode, we look at how we as the people of God can feel God’s gift of perfect peace in our life. We look at what exactly it is, how we can get it and why so many people today, especially Christians, don’t feel like they have it. The Word of God has a lot to tell us about peace and we go throughout scripture to see how we can get the perfect peace that belongs to us. We weren’t designed to live lives of confusion, worry and anxiety, we were made for peace and we can’t allow the enemy or anyone else to ever take that peace away from us. Let’s make the choice today to enjoy God’s perfect peace.

In this episode, we look at how Peter would only philos love the Lord but refused to agape love Him, even when Jesus made it clear that, that’s what He was looking for. We look at the mistake Peter made and we see how countless Christians are doing the same thing today. We see how we can avoid falling into this same trap. We don’t have to make the same mistake Peter made, we can learn from his error. The Lord is looking for agape love from us today. Let’s make the choice today to go beyond philos, and agape love the Lord.
