How do we get comfortable in our own skin? What is faith and how can we strengthen it? Rabbi Schneider shares that God wants to manifest His power in our lives today. Most people live from the outside in, rather than the inside out. Paul teaches us to abide with the Holy Spirit inside our inner man, living life from the inside out, and not by getting our affirmation from the world outside us. Our identity and peace do not come from the world, but from God. Learn on today's episode of Discovering the Jewish Jesus that we can strengthen our faith by embracing the Holy Spirit within us. Faith is real, has power, and helps us to think God's thoughts. Faith casts out fear. When we know we are loved, protected, and can trust God's promises then we are loving and walk in love. The more we grow in Christ, the more we can love other people.

When something’s wrong physically, you see a doctor. But when the pain runs deeper, you need a different kind of help. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how the Bible reveals the root of our struggles—and leads us toward true healing.

Isn’t that truly incredible? God knows not only how to show His power, but also how to show His power to specific groups of people. In today’s message, Pastor Chris teaches that God will use a variety of tactics to speak to people, and the way that He speaks to you may not look the same as how He speaks to your mayor, your neighbor, or even your spouse. As you study the book of Jonah, what’s the Ninevah in your life? What has God called you to do that causes you to run in the opposite direction?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that fathers, including God the father, can be extravagant towards their children. But, when the child rebels, the father's love must confront their sin.

The post Parable Of The Prodigal – 3B first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Mother and son Lisa and Tyler Sexton discuss their amazing story of parenting a child with special needs and how - through God's work and faithfulness - Tyler was able to overcome limitations and pursue a medical degree.

Roundtable: What Forgiveness Is and Isn’t

July 7th is National Forgiveness Day, so we’re having a hopeful and practical conversation on how to walk in forgiveness as a Christian. Usually it’s a process, not just a one-time decision, but is there a “right” way to view the act of forgiving? What does the Bible say about it? We talk about how we’ve forgiven those who’ve hurt us, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and why forgiveness matters in the first place.
