In keeping with our study of First Peter we come to a portion of his teaching in chapter 2 verses 21-22 that address the subject of suffering.

This means that it is very wise for us to learn about suffer so that we can be victorious through it when it does come our way. In this study we will learn how we are to suffer as true followers of Jesus. You will be challenged by this lesson.

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?

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.

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.

By looking at the life of the early church Glenn presents the beauty and power of Biblical Christianity that is available for true saints to live today.
Continuing in our study on Character and God’s Power we will look at how understanding our humanity directly affects the quality of our character.

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.

In this last episode of the series on Suffering in this Fallen World, we will study the subject of the Fasted Life.

In this final lesson in our series on Holy Fire we will examine a couple of the primary reasons why we need the Holy Spirit’s fire burning in us. We will conclude the podcast by specially examining our God who is a consuming fire. My prayer is that this message will help set your life on fire for Jesus.
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.
This is the eighth and final part of this study on the Life of the Early Church. In this episode Glenn will teach on the fruit that came out of the early church’s devotion to Jesus. The application of these Biblical and historical truths for our lives have the potential to birth the same kind of spiritual and moral revolution that it did in the days of the early church. All God is looking for is saints who will say, “Here I am. Send me.”

The saints of the early church were a people set on fire for God. What was one of the primary reasons those early believers turned the world upside down? They were truly devoted to prayer. In this podcast we will examine the subject of pray and how we should be devoted to it just as much as those first disciples were. Our lack of devotion to prayer is leaving the church spiritually barren. It is time we repent of the horrendous sin of prayerlessness and return to the New Testament faith that is the only standard for true believers to live.
