In today’s lesson we will study First Peter 5:7-8. This is the beginning of Peter’s teaching on spiritual warfare and it begins with a right understanding of God’s love for us.

This leads into Peter’s statement that we must be self-controlled because the devil is like a roaring lion looking to devour people. This point of being self-controlled is of tremendous important because it is one of the fruits of the Spirit as listed in Galatians 5.

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.

For the last two weeks we have been studying the radical nature of divine compassion and I will address this subject again today to bring some practical application. We will look at a couple of Christ’s parables that address the issue of compassion and how true followers of Jesus should be living out compassion on a daily basis. 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.

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.

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.

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.
