Trials, none of us like them, many of us fear them. But, trials are an important and vital part of our walk with Jesus. Listen to this episode to see why they are important to our faith.

Today we talk about trials. In Psalm 141 David provides some help in getting through times of trial.

In First Thessalonians, 5:17, Paul commands that we pray without ceasing. Meaning that we are continually in prayer. Can we really do that in 2025? We can look to a person who lived the pray without ceasing command. Nehemiah. Throughout his book, we see short prayers done in any and all situations Nehemiah faced. We can implement this lifestyle in todays world.

Today, I talk about a sculpture I’d seen many years ago at a local attraction. We then look at Psalm 139 and see that God is all around and knows everything about us, and prunes and purges us to become who He wants us to be.

Today, we are looking at some highlights from the book of Nehemiah and see how Nehemiah sorted through the opposition to complete the task he was given.

Today, we finish up our study in the book of Haggai. We are looking at Haggai 2:20-23 and see the results of serving God faithfully.

Today, we look at Haggai 2:10-19 where we are challenged to please God by living Holy lives. How can we, in 2025 live Holy lively;;;;;;;;;;era.

Continuing our study in the Old Testament book Haggai. Today, we look at chapter 2:1-9 and see where God is encouraging them to keep on in their work of rebuilding the temple. He encourages them with words like “be strong”, “fear not”, “I am with you.” All those words should encourage you as well, as you work on the things God has called you to complete.

We are studying the Old Testament book of Haggai the next few episodes. In this is a challenge for us to “consider our ways” and how we should change our thinking and behavior.

We see over and over that the writers of the Gospels are eyewitnesses to the works and words of Jesus. Why, then, do so many of us put our trust in idols who don’t even have breath in them while ignoring the true living God?
