In this message Ben Cachiaras, lead pastor of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa Maryland, challenges us to pursue real spiritual change in our lives. He calls us to move away from empty promises and the distractions that pull us from what truly matters, and toward a life marked by consistency.Ben reminds us that meaningful change often begins small, by identifying one area of our lives where God is inviting growth. He encourages us to remain patient, to not give up when things get difficult, and to plan for failure, understanding that we will fall short at times. Yet, by learning to get back up, persevere, and love the process, we discover that transformation is a journey, and when we invite God into that journey, real change can happen.

The Bible tells us we have broken that relationship through our disobedience, sin, and guilt.It is no wonder that Satan capitalizes upon our guilt to keep us at distance with God, but, Jesus has the authority to forgive our sin, and bring us back to God. This month, Gene Appel, Senior Pastor with the East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California has been unpacking some ways where “Only God” can make the difference in our lives and how this week: “Only God Can Forgive Our Past.” Listen as Gene show's us how to erase the guilt, and find reconciliation to our heavenly Father, through perfect, eternal, forgiveness

Welcome to the Christian’s Hour. Thanks for joining us! A recent documentary proposed that social media is engineered to be addictive.I think it would be safe to say that never before in all of history has there been more opportunity to become trapped into the bonds, the chains of addiction. In today’s message, Mike Breaux, teaching minister at East Side Christian Church in Anaheim California, continues our series “Only God” in his message “Only God can break my Chains”. Mike contends that Chains can be anything that has a firm grip on a person’s life; keeping us stuck, keeping us from experiencing Godly freedom. The good news is Jesus offers a way to break the “spin cycle of doing what we don’t want to do”. Here’s Mike to point us to Jesus, the chain breaker…

Welcome to this week’s Christian’s Hour broadcast.We’ve all been in situations or faced circumstances that look absolutely impossible from a human perspective – whether it’s disappointing events, a past that we can’t do-over, or fears, hurts and habits for which there appears to be no remedy. Jesus said that while some things may look impossible to human beings, with God all things are possible. This month, Gene Appel, the Senior Pastor with the East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California will be unpacking some ways where “Only God” can make the difference in our lives?Each of us at one time or another has experienced disappointments in life, and it’s not unlikely that we will again in the future.The Bible’s book of Psalms is a collection of sacred poems, often containing prayers, gathered by God’s people over 2500 years ago. One of the things the psalms teach us is how to express our raw, unedited disappointments to God. So here’s Gene to dispense with all the polite, positive God-talk and share with us how God can make a difference when disappointments overwhelm us...
