In today's episode, we delve into the subject of hindrances to the gospel of Jesus Christ. These hindrances have only one origin, the Kingdom of Darkness. One gentleman said that the Lord has given to every man his work. It is his business to do it, and the devil's business to hinder him—if he can. What do we do when it seems like we are not making progress doing the thing God called us to do? Hindrances To The Gospel of Jesus: Do You Know What Goes On Behind The Scenes? That's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

In today's episode, we peer into the open door of a subject mostly unspoken in our churches, the Wrath of God. It's not a comfortable subject for sure. In Scripture, wrath is God's stop sign showing His strong and vigorous opposition to everything that smacks of evil. Knowing that there are over 580 references to the wrath of God in the Old Testament alone, why is it that this subject is primarily unknown in our grace-filled churches? Why It's Important to Realize that the Wrath of God Will Balance Everything, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

We're talking about the Word of God today, specifically the Word of God working in you. To get God's Word in you, we must get the Word out of the book, out from between the leather covers and off the pages and down on the inside of us for God's will to be performed in us. As we will see in this podcast, Paul commended the Thessalonians for this very thing. How the Word of God Is Remarkably at Work in You, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

During this Father's Day season, we are talking about the subject of spiritual dads. Paul was a spiritual dad to the born-again believers of Thessalonica. Spiritual dads, natural dads, — it's great when a natural dad is also a spiritual one. We're talking about spiritual dads today. How a Spiritual Dad Can Demonstrate the Love Walk towards His Children, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Today, we undertake to highlight the vital nature of responsibility as it relates to those who have just received Jesus as their Savior. What is our role when it comes to people who have just been born again? Isn't it to make disciples? That's what Jesus said. Take the raw elements of a new convert and help them on their journey of being molded into the image of God. That's positive production. Producing disciples, that's our job and that's why we're talking today on the subject of What's Our Responsibility to Those Newly Come to Faith in God — all on this week's Light on Life.

The Second Coming of Jesus is at the forefront of today's study in 1 Thessalonians. It is mentioned in every chapter of this epistle. As you read and study you will find that the Second mentioned eight times as much in scripture as the First Coming of Jesus. It was a constant part of the conversation of the early church. Is it part of your dialogue? Why the Second Coming of Jesus is the Expectation of All Believers, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Modeling is a term that has been kicked around in leadership and development circles. What is modeling? One writer said that it is the influence our decisions and lifestyles have upon those around us. Whether we realize it or not, we're always modeling something. Unlike fashion modeling—in which appearance is paramount—modeling the Christian life requires honesty and authenticity. To model a relationship with Jesus is to be a living, breathing, tangible example to those we disciple. Why Modeling the Jesus Life Is Such a Powerful Witness — that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

God is always moving. From the very first pages of Genesis, where the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters, we can know that a move of God is always imminent. It's just the way it is. God never stands still, and He never goes backward. His direction is always forward. I don't know about you, but that motivates me. I like moving forward. There is nothing spiritual about stagnation. In today's podcast, we take a look at how God moved among the Thessalonians. Why Turning from Idols Is A Super Exceptional Move in God, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

In today's podcast, we are going to talk about the high value of praying for one another. We need to home in on this and give it the due place in our lives. You know we pay a lot of lip service to the notion of praying for one another. The words 'pray for me' or 'I'm praying for you brother' are part of our Christian-ese vocabulary. For people in the church world, it's the thing to say. I mean you wouldn't dare say that you weren't going to pray for someone, would you? But when those words leave your lips, do you actually execute and lift your voice to God? Why It's Vital to Pray for One Another, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

How does one pioneer a power packed-church? That's the question today. We are going to take a look at how the call of God and the zeal of the Lord upon the Apostle Paul turned into a power-packed Church in one the ten most influential cities in the Roman Empire, the city of Thessalonki. How to Start a Power-Packed Church: Lessons from Thessaloniki, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.
