We have been doing an in depth investigation into the Radical Jesus for over seven months and this will be our last week studying the section on radical faith. One of the primary points of today’s lesson is to help us understand the necessity of returning to the roots of our faith that was seen in the primitive church of the first century. God is a miracle working God and He is waiting for people to rise up to the great need of the hour which is for the saints to operate through great faith. The need is great so the remedy must be greater. A tame Christianity will not capture the heart and mind of the world. We need a signs and wonders, New Testament faith. Then the world will take note and learn that there is a God and that His name is Jesus.

In our second week in our study on radical faith we will begin by examining the great faith of the Roman Centurion. In this account there are some powerful truths about faith and how it works. We will then look at the great need in our day for the people of God to arise to the desperate need of the hour to live out lives of great faith. Whenever the church lives by great faith the world takes notice. God is a miracle working God that still does miracles today. Will we be the people He can do miracles through? Will we live out the radical nature of true faith or will we let Jesus pass us by?

Today we are going to look at the sacrifice Christians are called to live out on a daily basis and the great sacrifices that come into our lives at various times. From the moment people become bona fide followers of Jesus they are called to live an uncompromising life of loving devotion to Him which will entail sacrifice in one form or another. Though this will be a challenging message, it will also be very encouraging.

In today’s lesson we will look at some practical ways how genuine Christians are to sacrifice their lives for Jesus. We will learn how Christ’s life is the perfect example and standard of how true followers of Jesus are to live. We will dig into a couple of Christ’s parables that teach us what it means to sacrifice ourselves for Jesus. Then we will examine a little of Paul’s teaching on the matter. In this fallen world suffering and sacrifice are realities from which nobody can escape. The question is, “Who will we sacrifice and suffer for.” This question is clearly answered in a very practical way.

Today’s lesson will concentrate upon the eternal dimension of Christ’s sacrifice which will reveal another aspect of His tremendous love for mankind.

This study is sure to challenge you, so give a listen and grow in your knowledge of God.

We will see the great privilege that is bestowed upon genuine believers to be Christ’s ambassadors to a world in rebellion against Him. This is a very high calling and is extremely important for us to understand. To this we are called.

Last week we began digging into the wonderful subject of divine compassion. The radical nature of Christ’s compassion towards the rebel human race is staggering and beyond comprehension. Yet we should seek to comprehend His compassion to the best of our ability. Last week’s study ended with a brief glimpse at how God’s compassion is interwoven into His omniscience (all-knowing). I will pick up where we left off last week to delve deeper in the correlation between God’s omniscience and compassion. You will be enlightened.

This message will surely challenge you.

In today’s podcast we are beginning a new section in our continuing study on The Radical Jesus. This section is titled Radical Holiness and we will be on this topic for three weeks. I love the holiness of God and I love preaching on it as well. The divine holiness is actually what makes people and angels worship God. It is also what makes people to be awestruck by the Lord. Today we will look at why God’s holiness is so radical and why we have such a difficult time understanding it.

We are beginning a new section in our continuing study of The Radical Jesus that deals with the radical nature of surrender. It is a reality from which we cannot escape that if we want to be true followers of Jesus then we must learn to live the surrendered life.

As you will soon see in this section on radical surrender that there is great joy, power and victory found when we live a life of surrender to Jesus. Put this lesson into practice and you will know that what I am saying is true.

Anyone that would be an genuine disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus must strive to live a life of humility like He lived. Now I am not saying this is an easy call. Nonetheless, it is an integral part of the Christian calling. So listen closely to this lesson and make this subject an object of prayer in your life. You will not regret it!

In this week’s study we will dig a little deeper into the humility that defined the Radical Jesus. As we look at the radical humility that Jesus lived out on a constant basis, we are forced to look at ourselves. What defines our character? Pride or humility? In this lesson we will learn a little more about humility and why it is important for us to mature in this fruit of the Spirit through the grace of God.

Today’s podcast will stir your heart, mind and soul. We are continuing our series on the Radical Jesus and have been for the last two weeks studying the radical nature of truth. I will close out this section on the radical truth by looking at its revolutionary nature. The truth is not revolutionary in the way that the world defines revolution as a violent means of overthrowing a government. The truth is revolutionary to the spiritual, moral and intellectual life of an individual or people. It transforms the person that in turn becomes an agent of change in the world. Its time for you to have a spiritual revolution.

In this week’s episode of The Radical Truth we will look at the fact that the truth is under attack. We will first see how the war against the truth began and how it has progressed. From there we will move on to study a couple of very interesting verses found in Isaiah 59. These verses reveal what is going on in our country today and why the nation is in a moral and spiritual tailspin. The closing thoughts will focus on why people are so hostile to the truth. This podcast will be very enlightening.

Today’s podcast will be focusing upon the truth. The importance of this subject is tremendous. If truth cannot be known then there is no such thing as good and evil, right or wrong. The end of such a belief is meaningless of life. But if truth can be known then there is no greater pursuit we can have than to seek after the truth, and when we find it, strive with all that is within us to live it out. This podcast is all about the truth.
