Throughout all of Scripture, we see the devil speak three times. In this three-part series, we will watch what he says and who he says it to. We know that God has given us these things because He does not want us to be ignorant of Satan's devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). He is a liar and a murderer from the beginning so we will start in Genesis chapter 3 where the devil speaks to Eve.

Discernment is a very important word that is used in the Bible. As Christians, we are required by God to discern between good and evil. Danny And Kurt will look at this great responsibility that is enjoined upon us by God. 

The Marshmallow Test is a psychological study that was first performed by Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University. These studies were done to test delayed gratification and was designed to follow the children into their adult years. Would these young children who could delay gratification at an early age have a better chance of being successful later in life? These studies found that the children who were willing to wait scored higher on their SAT's, had higher GPAs in college, and a higher annual income as adults. Danny and Kurt will consider these studies and discuss how delayed gratification is a part of God's will for our lives.

Jesus is called the Son of Man over 90 times in the gospels. We see that this term is very important because it tells us so much about who Jesus is, and the reason He has come and partaken of flesh and blood. Let's go to God's word together and see what we can learn about this title, "The Son of Man".

Paul told Titus that he left him in Crete so that he could set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city (Titus 1:5). In this episode, Danny and Kurt will discuss the need for congregations to have elders and the rich blessings that come to a local church when they have appointed qualified elders to serve in that capacity.

The chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached Jesus during the last week of His life and asked Him two questions. Jesus responded by saying, "If you answer My question, I will tell you by what authority I do these things". Then He asked them about the baptism of John, is it from heaven or from men. What happens next reveals the hearts of the Pharisees and their unwillingness to tell the truth. Danny and Kurt will look at this moment in time and share their thoughts on what took place.

What is one of the best ways that we can serve God and serve our brethren? By being an encouragement! Danny and Kurt discuss the important Biblical topic of encouragement, how the Lord sees it, and what a marvelous impact it can make on our own lives. "When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord." Acts 11:23

With all of the discussion about racism in the world today, Danny and Kurt will address this difficult topic using the Common Sense Gospel approach. What does the Lord have to say about race and racism, and how should Christians approach this sensitive and sometimes divisive subject? Let's go to God's word together and see what we can learn. "But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him." Acts 10:35

This is the first of several podcasts where Danny and Kurt will look at some of the questions that Jesus asked the people around Him. It is amazing to look at what God says to His people as He is standing right in front of them in human flesh. We are looking forward to studying the questions Jesus asked and the beautiful pictures of God that are found in those questions. Hebrews 1:3 tells us that Jesus is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of His person, and He upholds all things by the word of His power.

In Galatians 6:1 tells us that if a man is overtaken by a trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one..." Danny and Kurt will discuss this passage and offer some suggestions for those who are trying to restore a Christian who has been overtaken by a trespass and needs help from God's people. Who is this person who has fallen away, and who is the spiritual person who should step in and assist?
