  • Understanding the Times - When Lawlessness Rules—the World is On Edge
    Josh Schwartz and Ken Mikle talk to Jan Markell for the hour. Political assassinations, lawlessness, and darkness seem to pervade everything. Are we in the very last of the last days? This leads to efforts to set dates for the rapture including the upcoming Feast of Trumpets. What about the mischief of the forthcoming U.N. meetings? Add to the chaos the killing of Charlie Kirk. What is the Christian to make of such instability?

  • Expounding the Word - Mark 4:1-20 Part 2

    Do you remember studying for a test in high school? Maybe you passed it on a wing and a prayer, but usually you put in the time. You write your notes, look them over, and prepare for the test. This shows that when you spend time preparing, you retain what you learn. The same applies in your walk with God. When you read His Word, you can’t just glance and hope you understood it. You need to stay in the Word consistently. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that spending time in God’s Word helps you grow deeper with Him.

  • Real Life Radio with Jack Hibbs - When The Glory Has Departed - 3C

    Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when we put God first, spiritual victories will come, our carnal flesh will not defeat us, and we will have a positive impact for Christ. But, when we put our trust in ourselves, or in the external world, the opposite will happen. Like a slow backward slide, our embittered heart will have no spiritual future.

  • Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast - The Real God - The Justice of God, Part 1

    Inside each of us is an innate sense of justice. When we see wrong, we want it put right. What does this reveal to us about God's justice? Are they related? Join Chip as he begins this talk on the justice of God.

    Introduction: Two questions – that disturb believers and unbelievers alike

    1. Why do bad things happen to good people?
    2. Why do good things happen to bad people?

    The real issue is... “Life is not fair!”

    The deeper question is... “Does that mean God’s not fair?”

    Defining the justice of God

    • Revealed through Abraham -Genesis 18:25
    • Revealed through the Psalmist -Psalm 97:2

    How does God reveal His justice to us?

    1. Through the NATURAL order -Romans 1:18-20
    2. Through the HUMAN HEART -Romans 2:15-16
    3. Through His role as JUDGE -Hebrews 12:23, 2 Timothy 4:8, John 5:22
    4. Through the CROSS -Romans 3:25-26, 1 Peter 3:18
    5. Through the promise of ETERNAL retribution: For Believers -1 Corinthians 3:10-15, For Unbelievers -Hebrews 9:27

    How are we to respond to God’s justice?

    1. CHOOSE to embrace Jesus today as your Savior rather than meet Him as your righteous Judge later. -John 5:22-24, 1 Peter 3:18
    2. REFUSE to take revenge when treated unjustly knowing God and God alone is judge. -Romans 12:17-21
    3. TAKE COMFORT when you encounter injustice knowing God will balance the scales either in this life of the next. -Psalm 73
    4. MEDITATE DEEPLY on the reality of the Judgement Seat of Christ and the promise of spiritual rewards.

  • Expounding the Word - Mark 4:1-20 Part 1

    If you’ve ever planted anything, you know growth doesn’t happen overnight. Every seed begins its journey deep in the dirt, hidden from view. The amazing thing is that before anything emerges above the surface, the seed is already working its way through the soil. But what fuels this growth besides good soil? Water. Just as a plant needs sustenance to thrive, you need spiritual nourishment found in the Word of God. Today, Pastor Chris reminds you that when you plant the seed of faith, God nurtures it.

  • Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast - The Real God - The Wisdom of God, Part 2

    How do ordinary people tap into the wisdom of God for everyday living? Join Chip for a very practical approach to that question.

    Introduction: What is the biggest challenge you’re facing in your life right now?

    Defining the wisdom of God:

    • “Wisdom, among other things, is the ability to devise perfect ends and to achieve those ends by the most perfect means. It sees the end from the beginning, so there can be no need to guess or conjecture… All God’s acts are done in perfect wisdom, first for His own glory, and then for the highest good of the greatest number for the longest time…Not only could His acts not be better done: a better way to do them could not be imagined.” -A. W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy

    How has God revealed His wisdom to us?

    • Through CREATION -Psalm 19:1-7
    • Through PROVIDENCE -Psalm 33:10-11
    • Through REDEMPTION -1 Corinthians 2:6-10
    • Through His SON -1 Corinthians 1:30

    How must we respond to the wisdom of God?

    • We must LEARN to live wisely! -Ephesians 5:15-17

    HOW do we do that?

    • We must REVERENCE God’s ways. -Proverbs 1:7; Job 28:28
    • We must RECEIVE His Word. -Psalm 119:97-100, 2 Timothy 3:15-17
    • We must ASK for it specifically. -James 1:5; Colossians 1:9
    • We must learn to TRUST Him completely… that all that comes our way is from the hand of a good and loving God who knowing all things actual and possible, is exerting His unlimited power to execute the best possible outcomes, by the best possible means, to fulfill the highest possible purposes.

  • Expounding the Word - Mark 3:7-24 Part 2

    Sometimes, when we look at where we come from or what we’ve done, we ask ourselves, “Can we even change?” But today, Pastor Chris is here to say: yes, you can. But not by yourself. In today’s message, Pastor Chris reminds you that by yourself, there is only pain and destruction. But when you place your faith in Jesus Christ and allow Him to work in your life, you can do all things through His name. All you have to do is let Him into your heart, and watch Him change your life forever.
