The Jesus life is our focus this week. How different His life was from the normal of the day He lived in. The same can be said for the normal of our day. The Jesus life is dynamically different in scope and source. We are in First Thessalonians and we are talking Simple Yet Effective Directives for Living the Dynamic Jesus Life. All on this week's Light on Life.

As we roll into chapter five of 1 Thessalonians, we have ten more verses that relate to the Rapture, the Wrath of God, and End Times. We're talking about End Times, specifically the Day of the Lord. What is that day? Is it a great day or a day to be fearful of? That's why we are naming this podcast 'How to Avoid the Wrath of God and Be Caught Up with Jesus.' That's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Are you looking for Jesus to return in the glorious event mentioned in First Thessalonians four known as the Rapture of the Church? Famous Bible Expositor G.

How Does the Rapture of the Church Play Out On The Great Stage that's our focus on this week's Light On Life.

The Rapture is our focus as we motor along through chapter four of First Thessalonians. At the Rapture, Jesus' followers will be transformed — they will be changed. We will have resurrection bodies.

Paul writing to the Thessalonians addresses the subject of believers falling asleep in Jesus and the toxic grief that was occurring because of these deaths.

Why Grief Is a Killer and How You Can Side Step This Deadly Foe. That's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Today, we take a broad look at the subject of anxiety, a symptom that's on the rise in a mighty way in some as they struggle in uncertain times. Did you know that unscrupulous people are using anxiety to make money? Journalist Eric Sevareid (1912–1992) said, "The biggest business in America is not steel, automobiles, or television.

Why You Can Overcome Fear and Anxiety In a World Gone Crazy — that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.
