In part 2 of our study on Character and God’s Power we will begin digging into the idea that our character is a reflection of our understanding of God. This is not something we commonly think about, but it is true nonetheless. Our moral and spiritual condition directly depends on whether we have a high or low view of God. We cannot rise above our knowledge of God. If we want to rise higher in the faith then we need to have a clearer grasp of the majesty of God. This study is sure to stir your soul and invigorate your mind.

As a result, it is of the utmost importance that we strive through God’s grace to develop a Christlike character. Now here is a worthwhile New Year’s resolution to make–that you will faithfully listen to this podcast every week and tell others about it as well. Thanks and God bless.

In this final episode of The Audacity Series we will examine 1 Corinthians 13:11. This verse within the love chapter is all about spiritual maturity. When we think like a child we will act and love like a child. If we make the willful choice to spiritually grow up then we will begin thinking like spiritual adults which means we will begin loving like mature adults. Marriages fall apart because people refuse to grow up; churches suffer the ravages of strife because people refuse to grow up. Listen to this podcast and learn what it means to love like an authentic adult.

We have been studying the audacity of faith, hope and love. Last week we began delving into the audacity of love. In this podcast we will examine the divine call for true believers to live out the audacity of love. One of the greatest expressions of love for God is obedience. When we love God we will obey Him. The opposite is also true–if we do not obey His Word it is because we do not really love Him. This teaching will challenge you to love better.

In part eight of our study on Suffering in this Fallen World we will continue examining the issue of living the crucified life. The crucified life was clearly taught by Jesus and the rest of the New Testament. Actually, it is foundational to living the normal Christian as defined by God’s Word. We must live the crucified life to live holy, be compassionate, to love both friend and enemy or to know the wonders of God’s love. So listen to this teaching and grow in Christ–it is worth it all.

In this seventh part of our study on Suffering in this Fallen World we will take a new direction within the subject by examining the crucified life. The crucified life is central to Christ’s teaching, and as a result, to the New Testament. Unfortunately, it is not a popular subject preached from our pulpits today. Yet it is a necessary part of the Christian faith. This podcast could be revolutionary to your spiritual life.

Part six in this series on Suffering in this Fallen World will focus on the subject of persecution of true Christians. This is a immense subject, both Biblically and historically. Today we will only present an overview on the issue and how it relates to us today in America and the Western world. Persecution is on the rise world wide and it is increasing in America at a fast rate. If Christians are not preparing their hearts and minds for the coming persecution then many will not stand in the day of testing. This podcast will inform you on this extremely important subject.

Today’s podcast will be a little different. Rather then recording a teaching as I normally do, I want to share with you a sermon I preached that shook the church. The message is about counting the cost. We need to not only count the cost to be a New Testament Christian but to count the cost of our sin. This message will shake your life if you have ears to hear.
In this podcast you will learn about what makes a truly Biblical believer. This message is not for those who want to live a compromised faith, but for those who want to be like Jesus.

The evangelical church in the west is experiencing a major crisis; a crisis that that goes to the core of its identity and the majority of people involved don’t even know it exists. What is the crisis I am speaking about? – The redefining of what it means to be Christian. More specifically, how a

Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to

“I hate you! You’re not my mom and dad. I’m going to ask my social worker to move me to a new home!” As Lynn* stormed off and slammed her bedroom door, I looked at my husband. The hurt I saw in Glenn’s eyes mirrored my own. Just a month ago everything seemed to be
Love That Costs by Jessica Meldrum Read More »
Using Paul’s teaching on love in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Glenn confronts the humanistic love that has defined the human race since Adam’s fall. Paul exquisitely defined the primary components of humanistic love and by doing so was able to define true love as defined by God. Why do marriages break down? Why are there church fights? Why are many people repulsed by some people who call themselves Christian? Because we live out a selfish, humanistic love that is destructive. Learn what true love is according to God’s definition and how we can live that out through God’s grace.

Once I received a gift from a friend that was meant as joke. It became one those gifts that keeps on giving, but not the way you normally would think. The gift was a small tapestry quoting what some humorously call the eleventh commandment, “Thou shalt not whine.” I decided to temporarily hang it in
