Hope gets the short end of the stick in my opinion. Underrated and overlooked and misunderstood. Yet, in the life of the believer Hope is the anchor of our soul and the source of our joy and perseverance. Jesus is our Hope. Heaven is our hope. So much to say about hope I had to use two episodes. Hope you enjoy. :)

How safe are you in Christ? How long will He hold you? What can separate you from Him? How strong is His grip? Can saved people fall away and be lost? Will you be safe from false teachers, and if so, How?   Find out the answer to these questions in this week's podcast. 

Much has been said about the end times and the antichrist. In this episode we clarify what the Bible teaches on antichrists and the antichrist. We even get into a little end time teaching. Hope you enjoy. 

The world's system  is best seen on reality TV. The lust of the eyes and flesh and the arrogant ugly pride of people living solely for this world. God hates it. He wants us to hate it to. Find out more in this episode as we continue through First John.

The apostle John makes it clear that not every christian is mature. We can grow! Are you growing? Learn how in this episode. 

Words are cheap. So many people claim to love Jesus-- but do they? If I walk in darkness and do whatever I want and don't really love people-- can I see any evidence of Christ in my life? John is writing to Christians and warning against false teachers. He is also giving us a good test of our own Christianity. We show evidence or a regeneration in obedience to the Father and love for Him and others. Do we pass the love test? Find out in this edition of Running the Race. 

If you have ever doubted your salvation this is a great episode for you! 

We will all be judged by a Holy God. He is just in all His judgements. We are sinners and He is not. He is the judge and we are not. He is just and we are not. Everyone stands guilty before God. BUT.......and this is the most significant but in all of human history--- we have an advocate in Jesus. Our attorney is the son of the judge. In this episode we get a very clear understanding of salvation and the payment paid by Christ on the Cross. 

When we are saved Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. But wait, don't we still sin? Does sinning negate our salvation? John perfectly answers this question in this passage. We have a total cleansing from Jesus and a daily cleansing from Jesus. We will eventually be sinless. Justification means he sees us without sin. Sanctification means we sin less. Hope this teaching helps you not to sin. :)

I appreciate clarity. The word of God is clear! (Big Bible word is perspicuity.) John is also very clear. God is good and men are bad. God is light and men run for darkness because our deeds are evil. We are sinners in need of a savior. God saves sinner. This is so foundational to our salvation. This podcast takes some extra time to unpack this truth from John chapter one. This was so much fun to teach.
