We are now at the point where Christ’s ministry changes from ministering to the people outside of Jerusalem to the final days of His life where He ministers in Jerusalem. The two events we will examine are His triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His cleansing of the Temple by driving out those who were getting rich off the faith by exploiting the people. This is a good lesson.
The parable of The Pharisee and the Tax Collector is the focus of this lesson. The actual theme of this parable may be very different than what you thought. It’s a powerful teaching Jesus gave that contains some very important truths that are relevant to what it means to be saved.
In the beginning of this lesson we will finish studying our Lord’s teaching on prayer from Luke chapter 11. Then we will examine what happened after Jesus cast a demon out of a man that was unable to speak. This is an interesting lesson.
After Jesus gave an outline of what prayer should consist, He goes on to give some practical teaching on how to make prayer powerful. This is what we will study in this lesson and it is a good one.
We begin chapter eight of the Gospel of Luke in this episode. In this chapter we find the well known Parable of the Sower. We will only be digging into the preliminary points to this parable, but it is still some good stuff. One issue we will look at is how Jesus had women disciples traveling with Him. This is an interesting lesson.
As I was preparing this lesson it went in an unexpected direction. Revival became the stirring message of this podcast. This is a must listen to for anyone that wants revival or comprehends that there is more to our faith then what they have yet seen. Please, don’t miss this moving message.
What did the preaching of John the Baptist produce? Repentance! In this lesson we will look at some of the evidence that comes out of true repentance. Luke records three groups of people going to John and asking what they should do? He gave them practical answers on how to live out what it means to repent. This is a good lesson for each of us.
In this lesson we will finish studying the prophesy that Luke quotes from Isaiah 40 that was fulfilled in John the Baptist. There is a second way this prophesy is fulfilled and that is for God’s people to put into action what the prophesy teaches. We also started looking at the beginning of John’s sermon and it was a fiery one that’s worth knowing and understanding. Enjoy!
In verses 51 and 52 of the second chapter of Luke we will study such subjects as why Jesus was called a Nazarene and what it means that Mary “treasured all these things in her heart.” Then in the first two verses of chapter three we will examine the introduction to John the Baptist’s ministry. In verses three and four we will learn why John the Baptizer was so important to preparing the way for Jesus to become our atoning sacrifice.
We will examine in this lesson the wonderful truths found in First John 3:1-2. What does it mean that God lavishes His love on us? And what is one of the principle ways that He does this? Learn the answer to these two questions and some more besides. This is an awesome teaching.
The principle subject of today’s lesson is Christ’s teaching on the persecution His followers would face. The section of Scripture will we be studying is John 15:17-27. Jesus taught much on persecution because if the world hated Him it most certainly will hate His followers. This is a very important subject for us to understand today so don’t miss it.
Floods on Dry Ground is a book on the Hebrides Awakening. This is part two of the book by Jessica Meldrum which focuses on the life of Duncan Campbell, the primary evangelist used in this revival. His life and sermons will challenge those seeking to know the keys to genuine revival.
Floods on Dry Ground is a book on the Hebrides Awakening. This is part one of the book by Jessica Meldrum. When God stepped down from heaven in 1949 the things of earth took second place. The glory of God was revealed and the lives of people were transformed. This is a powerful, soul-stirring book on an authentic revival.
God has been described as “one pent-up revival.”[1] When saints live in the reviving power of God’s presence, the world takes note that there is a God, we have been with Him, and His name is Jesus. Revival is God’s self-disclosure. It speaks of a Savior who yearns to dwell in the midst of His …
I fear the United States is hastening towards judgment. Where that line of no return is I do not know, but the nation’s rapid moral and spiritual decline is hurtling us towards that terrifying line at breakneck speed. Only divine intervention can turn us from our self-destructive course. We have forsaken the God which gave …
Today we begin a new study titled Holy Fire. “Fire” is a common idea that flows through much of the church in song, prayer and thought. But what does it mean? When we sing and pray to have the fire what are we really asking God to do for us? This teaching will examine the Biblical idea of fire so that when we pray and sing about it we know what we are really asking for. May God grant our petitions and give us the Holy Spirit and fire.
Part 2 of “Prepare the Way” is the continuation of Glenn’s teaching on the Scriptural correlation between John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus to come to Israel and how the church is to prepare the way for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Revival is never a time and chance event, but is always the result of purposeful preparation. In this podcast the prophetic ideas spoken about in Isaiah 40:1-5 of tearing down mountains and filling in valleys will be examined. This practical teaching on the Christian life and revival is sure to bless your life.
Preparation always precedes revival. In this three week study on preparing the way for revival we will study John the Baptist and the prophecy about this man of God that comes out of Isaiah 40:1-5. There are many practical applications on how this prophecy is able to be applied to our present need to prepare the way for the Holy Spirit to fall in our lives and a local congregation.
If believers really want revival then they must be careful that the message of the cross is central to the preaching and life of the church. A simple examination of church history will reveal that whenever revival was poured out that Jesus and the cross was the consuming subject. Remove the message of the cross and you have something other than authentic revival. In this podcast you will learn the importance of the preaching of the cross in revival and get a fresh glimpse of the Precious Savior who was crucified for us.
Today in The Radical Truth we will tackle the subject of holiness and revival. Authentic revival is always a revival of holiness. Why? Because the God of revival who is holy, stoops down to reveal His holiness to sinful man. Through the manifest presence of God we come to know the true nature of sin and the only remedy for it—a crucified and resurrected Savior. We will examine the profound subject of what God’s holiness is and what it means to mankind.
For this last episode in our study on 2 Chronicles 7:14 we will examine what it means for God to forgive our sins and heal our land. The spiritual and eternal condition of our families, communities, nation and world depends on whether or not true believers will fulfill the conditions of this covenant promise of revival. Without revival our loved ones perish and multitudes rush blindly on to hell. We cannot be passive with such an important subject; too much is at stake.
In this week’s episode of The Radical Truth, we will continue our study on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The subject that will be addressed is God’s response when people take the path of repentance. The Lord’s wonderful declaration, “Then I will” speaks of what to expect when we grow desperate enough to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. God is not slow in keeping His promises when we fulfill our part of His covenants.
During this episode of The Radical Truth we will learn about the path of repentance that is outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14. This covenant promise of revival is as true as the God that gave it. The Lord is faithful to fulfill all of His covenant promises when we fulfill our part. There is a reason we are not seeing revival and at the root of the problem is our refusal to take the path of repentance. Listen to this podcast on your knees; God just might do a shaking in your life.
In part two of the study on 2 Chronicles 7:14 we will explore what Scripture means by the God’s call that we pray and seek His face. These two issues are of paramount importance for all who truly yearn for revival. Until we meet the conditions of revival we will never have authentic revival.
This episode of The Radical Truth will begin a series of lessons that will examine God’s covenant promise of revival as outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We will study the emphasis God places on humility in the bringing of revival. Then we will turn to the question of whether revival is God’s work or man’s.
