Episodes
-
Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide (5) - In the Fire
Salvation in Jesus Christ is free - but there is a cost to discipleship. Jesus said, "If anyone desires to follow me, let that person take up his or her cross and follow me daily." Daniel and his companions remind us the the cost can be huge, but the reward is far greater!
-
Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide (4) - Tough King Meets LIVING GOD
In today's message, we see that it was God who gave Daniel the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream -- a dream sent to show that God alone knows the future and that though empires crumble, God's Kingdom will be established forever over the entire earth!
-
Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide (3) - God Reveals
Jesus never promised His followers an easy journey. What He does promise is a great destination, and He assures us of the presence of His Holy Spirit to uphold, to guide, and to reveal, so that His people may be equipped to lead the nations back to Him!

Dig Deeper - Acts Chapter 18: Coworker Apollos
After 18 months in Corinth Paul, Aquila and Priscilla sail from Corinth to Ephesus and Paul goes on to Antioch. Luke picks up the story in Ephesus. Acts 18:24-26. We are introduced to Apollos, who had been instructed about the Lord and taught accurately about Jesus. Priscilla and Aquila heard him...
-
Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide (2) - Mixed, Not Melted
God calls His people not to blend in to society, but to stand out, to reflect the mercy and goodness of God, so that He may be exalted through all the nations!
-
Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide (1) - Daniel's God
The Book of Daniel is the story of the collision of two kingdoms, a spiritual war that is still being fought in the heavens and on the earth. In the end, the Kingdom of God wins!
-
GOD ACTS! (Chapter 18) - Do Not Be Afraid
What do the Scriptures teach us about anxiety and worry? Today we will See God's Provision in difficult and fearful times. Acts 18:1 Paul has traveled to Corinth and is worried about what God has in mind in bringing him to this ungodly city. FACING FEAR Strategic Friendships Then: Acts 18:2-3…

Armor of God #2 - The Struggle
There is a spiritual war raging around us. The Christian lfe is one of spiritual warfare. We can put on the armor of God to resist the enemy - the devil and all his forces - secure in the knowledge that Jesus has already won the final victory. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but...
-
The Sermon on the Mount (36) - Rock Solid
It is one thing to hear what Jesus says - it is another thing to live it. Real faith results in true, Christ-like living. Building one's life on any other foundation is like building a house on sand - the first real storm will sweep it away.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (35) - Phoney Faith
It is a good thing to call Jesus "Lord," but He warns us that faith is not just a matter of mouthing the right words, but of having the right heart.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (34) - False Prophets
Jesus warns us to be on the alert against false prophets - those eager to tell us pleasing things, while distorting the Gospel to avoid mention of sin and repentance. He bluntly calls them "ravening wolves" who wear "sheep's clothing" to disguise their predatory nature.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (33) - The Narrow Road
The world tells us we should not be "narrow minded," but Jesus says there is a time when "narrow" is not just good, but it is fundamentally good and absolutely essential!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (32) - The Gold Standard
The "Golden Rule," of doing to others as we would have them do to us, is not the way we measure up to God's standards. It is rather the way we show God's love to the world; a world increasingly troubled by fears and tumult.
-
The Answer - Week 2: Can You Explain the Trinity?
Questions about the Trinity are often asked this way: • Is the word "Trinity" in the Bible? • Do Christians worship three Gods? • Was "Trinity" invented by the Church? • Isn't the notion of "Trinity" irrational? • Don't you think this is a minor issue? Pastor digs into the question of the Trinity...
-
Armor of God #3 - Belt of Truth
The truth of Jesus, the "Gospel Truth," is the heart of all truth, and without that we have nothing. Pastor opens with the words from the song, 'Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus." The story behind this song is an amazing one that sets the stage for today's entire message on the "Belt of Truth."…

The Sermon on the Mount (31) - The Promise of A.S.K.
Even in dark and difficult times, Jesus gives His followers this amazing promise: "A.S.K." - Ask, and it will be given to you - Seek, and you will find - Knock, and the door will be opened to you
-
The Sermon on the Mount (30) - Judgmentalism
Jesus warns his followers against the spirit of judgmentalism - the eagerness to condemn the sins and faults of others while excusing or even denying our own. His followers are to discern truth and falsehood, right and wrong, with humility, repentance, and honesty.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (29) - Worry
Chronic worry not only disorders the mind but can actually damage physical health. Treatments like massage, breathing exercises, and medicine can relieve the immediate symptoms - but Jesus provides another answer for worry; one that gets directly to the heart and soul of the sufferer.
-
Dig Deeper - Acts Chapter 17: He Reasoned With Them
Pastor Dodge opens today's teaching with a quote from St. Augustine, "The New is in the Old concealed, the Old is in the New revealed." Meaning what the New Testament teaches is already in the Old Testament scriptures and the Old Testament scriptures find their fulfillment in the New Testament.…
more -
The Sermon on the Mount (28) - Treasures
The question we need to ask ourselves is: "What do I value most? Am I going to value things that don't last, or am I going to value what God values most - those qualities that endure forever?"
-
The Sermon on the Mount (26) - Deliverance
Our God is a deliverer, and He offers us deliverance even - and especially - today!
-
GOD ACTS! (Chapter 17) - An Unknown God
SEEING CLEARLY: Then + Now Scandal of Idolatry - Then - Acts 17:16 we read that Paul was in Athens and was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 1 Corinthians 10:20 Paul writes that the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And in Romans 1:22-23 "Although…

Armor of God #4 - Breastplate of Righteousness
The breastplate of God's righteousness protects us from the schemes and attacks of the devil as we live out our daily lives in Christ. Pastor teaches us the 2 meanings of righteousness in the Bible; The righteousness we receive through faith in Christ Jesus - a right relationship with God…
more -
The Sermon on the Mount (25) - Temptation
Why did Jesus teach us to pray. "Lead us not into temptation"? God does not tempt, but He is the One who gives us the strength to face testing/temptation and provides a way of escape from the lure of evil.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (24) - Forgive!
"Forgive us our debts/sins as we forgive others" is not a prayer to be spoken lightly, but a prayer to be lived. Even the most devout believer has a daily need to reconnect with God through repentance and forgiveness.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (23) - Daily Bread
"Give us ... our daily bread" is not a "mundane" prayer request. Jesus is calling us to look to God, to trust Him with our entire lives, and to call on Him to meet all our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
-
Dig Deeper - Acts Chapter 16: He Circumcised Him
We explore an action the Apostle Paul took. Was Paul compromising what had been decided at the Council in Jerusalem (Acts 15) when he circumcised Timothy? Chapter 15 was about the question of Gentiles needing to be circumcised to be a genuine follower of Jesus. The Council at Jerusalem's…
more -
The Sermon on the Mount (22) - God's Will
Our natural self tells us to pray, "MY will be done." But Jesus says we are to invite God to conquer us, to take charge of our lives and change our hearts so that we willingly pray, "YOUR will be done."
-
The Sermon on the Mount (21) - His Kingdom
"Thy kingdom come" is both a missionary and a visionary prayer. We know that in these last days God is at work in human history to establish His kingdom over all the earth, and that the day will come when the Lord Jesus returns to make all things new.
-
GOD ACTS! (Chapter 16) - And You Will Be Saved
Acts 16: 2,500 years ago, the Holy Spirit gave a prophetic word to several Hebrew prophets. It is a word that began to be fulfilled in a dramatic way at the time of the book of Acts, and continues to be dramatically fulfilled in our day in ways that seemed impossible generations ago. "The earth...
-
Armor of God #5 - Fit Feet
The "readiness that comes from the gospel of peace" gives us a solid platform on which to stand firm in resisting the devil's attacks. Pastor's shares about an archeological discovery of "Caligae,' the shoes worn by Roman soldiers in the day that the text of Ephesians was written by Paul. Some...
-
The Sermon on the Mount (20) - His Holy Name
God's name is already holy. May it also be holy among us, reverenced, honored, and lived out in daily life as we live in the goodness of God in Christ!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (19) - Prayer to the Father
When Jesus prayed, He called God "Abba," the name a Hebrew child would use when speaking to a loving and trustworthy father. He invites us to approach God with the same confidence, praying directly to the Father, through the Son, and in the power of the Holy Spirit!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (18) - Spiritual Showmanship
Jesus warns against "people-pleasing" - the rewards there fade quickly. It is not having your name written on a plaque that matters; it is having your name written in God's Book of Life that brings everlasting joy!
-
Dig Deeper - Acts Chapter 15: Sharp Disagreement
Acts 15:36-41. Paul and Barnabas, after having been partners for a lengthy time, have a sharp disagreement over staffing with Barnabas wanting to take John Mark with them and Paul not wanting to. They have such a strong disagreement they part company. Colossians 4:10 we see the relationship of...
-
The Sermon on the Mount (17) - Love Your Enemies
Can we really love those who hate and oppress us? Yes, but only if our human will is governed by the Spirit of God.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (16) - What About "My Rights"?
"Turn the other cheek," "Go the extra mile" -- these are words intended not for the public at large, but for followers of Jesus. They are words that are life-giving, and that impart life to others as well!
-
GOD ACTS! (Chapter 15) - He Purified Their Hearts by Faith
Acts 15: This chapter deals with Entrance Requirements for entering the Kingdom of God. Acts 15:1 tells us what some people are saying in order to be saved: you had to be circumcised according to the custom taught by Moses. THEN and NOW: Proclaim God's Goodness - As we continue on with the next...
-
Armor of God #6 - Shield of Faith
God says: "Fear not"; the devil whispers: "Fear everything." Rather than try to face the "fiery darts" of the enemy in our own power, we should raise the shield of faith God has given us! Ephesians 6:16 http://www.awakeusnow.com
-
The Sermon on the Mount (15) - Tell the Truth!
Jesus always told the truth; in fact, He said He was The Truth. His command to tell the truth is an attack on hypocrisy, and a defense of honesty!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (13) - Lust
In a society obsessed with sex, the answer to how to live for God is not "Let's see how far can I go without sinning," but rather, "I'm going to go as far from sin as I can possibly go."
-
The Sermon on the Mount (12) - Anger
"Did Jesus ever get angry?" Yes, but Jesus' anger was always controlled and never inappropriate. He shows us the difference between righteous anger and sinful anger.
-
The Sermon on the Mount (11) - Fulfillment
Jesus said He did not come to abolish "the Law or the Prophets" (i.e. the Hebrew scriptures) but to fulfill them. He is the Messiah to whom the entire Bible points!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (10) - Light
Jesus is the true "Light of the World" (John 8:12), but He also calls us to reflect His light in our lives so that others may see and come to Him. In that way, we also become "the light of the world."
-
The Answer - Week 4: What Happens When I Die?
"If someone dies, will they live again?" Three Basic Views 1. Oblivion - there's nothing more after this life. But Near Death Experiences (NDE's) are challenging this view. 2. Reincarnation - a view held mainly in the eastern world. 3. Afterlife - there is something beyond the grave, that our…

Armor of God #7 - Helmet of Salvation
The Roman soldier's helmet protected his head in battle; God's helmet of salvation protects our minds from the vicious attacks of the devil!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (8) - Beatitudes, Part 7
When people are truly living for the Lord, others who are simply "religious" are often offended by it, embarrassed by it, and angered by it. Jesus warned His followers to expect opposition and persecution, yet promised them a greater reward in Heaven because of it!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (7) - Beatitudes, Part 6
Those who know the wisdom of God, who walk by faith, and who renounce what is evil and listen to the Holy Spirit, become peacemakers through the power and blood of Jesus, who is *The* Peacemaker!
-
The Sermon on the Mount (6) - Beatitudes, Part 5
You and I are to desire a pure heart, because that is what God desires of us! Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God effects a "heart cleansing" in believers, purifying and lifting us up.
-
Dig Deeper - Acts Chapter 14: The Stoning
In Acts 14:19- 22, Paul is stoned in the city of Lystra. Those stoning him thought he was dead; they dragged him outside the city, but the disciples gathered around Paul and he got up and he and Barnabas left for the town of Derbe. It's easy to look at this story and in a human sense say, "Well,...
