The Radical Jesus Part 27

Leave a Comment / Podcast, The Radical 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?

The subject of today’s study will be the radical nature of Biblical faith. This is the first of three lessons on the subject that is part of our continuing study on the Radical Jesus. Today we will begin with an overview of why faith as defined by the Scriptures is radical. Then we will examine how great faith is directly tied into the quality of our relationship with God. Finally we will study a woman that Jesus said had great faith. You will be challenged by this lesson.

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.

We are beginning a new section in our continuing study on The Radical Jesus. Today’s topic will be on Radical Compassion. The better we understand the radical compassion that defines Jesus, the more we will be able to grasp the compassion genuine followers of Jesus should be living. Jesus is our perfect example of what it means to compassionately love others. This is the love we are to live which will cause us to seek the eternal and temporal well-being of others. 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. The only person that lived a life of perfect surrender to the Heavenly Father was Jesus. As a result, He is the perfect role model that we are to imitate. 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.

For the last two weeks we have been digging into the subject of humility. Today we are going to look at the radical nature of humility as it relates to true followers of Jesus. 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 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.

The spiritual condition of the American church is at an all time low. Compromise and immorality are the norm. At the root of the problem is the poor condition of the character of individuals and churches. Character matters and it is very important to God. In today’s lesson we will look at the third reason why the power of God is not powerfully moving in the American church. With an understanding of the things that hinder the Spirit’s outpouring is the potential to right the wrongs and see revival sweep this country once again. Accept the challenge in this study by applying the Biblical truths to your life. You will not be sorry!

This week in our continuing study on Character and God’s Power we will begin examining how the quality of our character directly affects how the power of the Spirit will work in a believer or church. God is a miracle working God and longs to reveal His glory and power in and through His people. If the power is withheld from the church there is a reason for it. It then becomes the responsibility of believers to understand what the hindrance is and do something about it. The are three main reasons that have to do with our character why the power of the Spirit is withheld from the church. Today we will endeavor to learn about the first two and next week we will dig into the third. You will be enlightened by this teaching and my prayer is that is will bring radical change to your life.

The subject of today’s podcast may seem like a strange one, but it is actually very practical. I want to study how suffering benefits us. Specifically I want to examine how God uses suffering to help develop a godly character in believers. It is good for us to understand that the trials we experience have value and are not just seasons of meaningless pain and suffering. There is a hitch to this, suffering will only truly benefit those who love Jesus. So listen and learn how the Lord will use the trials you have had, and the ones yet to come, for your well-being.

It is easy to love sin because it is an innate part of our fallen nature. This means that to love Jesus more than sin, pleasure, wealth or even self is costly and suffering is involved. Until we have a better love than our base love of sin and self we will continue to practice the sins we know are contrary to God’s Word and our conscience. In today’s lesson we will learn how to develop that better love and why we need to forsake the love of this world.

This is part fifteen in our study on Character and God’s Power. Today we will look at how suffering helps reveal the true condition of our character. We all wish that suffering and trials were not a part of life. Since we cannot escape them, we would be far better off if we learned how to live the victorious Christian life through them. Though that is God’s plan for mankind in general, it can only be fulfilled in the lives of those who are authentic followers of Jesus. You will learn through this podcast how God can use the suffering and trials you experience to draw you closer to Him so that you can overcome all of life’s challenges.

In today’s podcast we will look at how the condition our character is powerfully influenced by the quality of the relationship we have with Jesus. Before anyone can develop a Christlike character they must be genuinely born again, which means they have entered into a living relationship with Jesus. Bona fide followers of Jesus reveal the reality of the relationship they have with Christ by through godly character. We cannot rise any higher in the quality of our character than the relationship we have with Jesus. So listen to this teaching and you will learn the tremendous value of walking near to Jesus.

Love is today’s topic in our continuing study on Character and God’s Power. The quality of our character determines how we love. To word it a little differently, the quality of our love is a gauge to the condition of our character. In this lesson we will learn how love reveals not only our character, but our spiritual condition. People with godly character prove it by how they selflessly love others. Selfish expressions of love always reveal a corrupt character. So take a listen and learn how you can grow in Christ and the Spirit’s power to selflessly love God and others.

Obedience to God is the topic of today’s podcast. This is probably the largest subject in the Bible and is of greater importance than most people think. Without obedience to God and His Word people will not make heaven their home. But in our culture that glorifies rebellion we can be blind to the beauty and joy found in obedience. Not just that, for obedience to be real it must be loving. We cannot love selflessly unless we obey those we claim to love. Listen, learn and take to heart the powerful lesson you will hear today.

The tongue is the subject of today’s podcast and should prove to be very challenging. We will examine the power of the tongue and how it influences the lives of other people either for good or bad.

Two important points that influence the quality of our character are the subject of today’s podcast–our frailty and the Biblical teaching on the flesh verses the Spirit. It is vitally important that we understand what influences the condition of our character or we will be destined to keep repeating the same failures. Those who have the courage to look into the mirror and give an honest answer why they act the way they do have the hope of positive change. To grow more like Jesus will powerfully influence all of our relationships.

We will concentrate in today’s lesson on the wonderful truth of our God given gift of dignity. This teaching will powerfully touch your life.

What does it mean that mankind is depraved? Do we have an authentic free will? This is the topic of our study today which is part six of our series on Character and God’s Power. This is a very important subject and has been a bone of contention for many in the church for hundreds of years. Well, I am not expecting to bring closure to the debate of depravity and free will with this one short lesson. But it will be a help to all my listeners who are wanting to learn how to be more like Jesus. In that end, that is what’s important.
