#306: Rescued by God Jun 13, 2021

Show notes

Episode 306- Show Notes:

Every one of us is in need of rescue because we are all sinful and worthy of God’s eternal condemnation and punishment.
In order to rescue fallen humanity, God created a plan for our salvation before He even created the world. Since He could not set aside his justice, he found an acceptable substitute who would bear the condemnation and punishment we deserved.
Once and for all, Jesus took our sins upon himself and he died in our place. The ransom was paid and our rescue was now possible.
Embrace the reality of God’s rescue in your life. Nothing compares to what Jesus has done for us.

Romans 5:6 - “at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.”
Colossians 1:13-14 - “For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

#305: Childlike Faith Jun 12, 2021

Show notes

Episode 305 - Show Notes:

To enter the kingdom of God we have to do so like a child.
Access to salvation and the kingdom of God comes one way. It comes through faith.
We must return to a childlike faith in God. Simple trust in God. We can do this because God is trustworthy. He never fails. He is never absent. He is always there for us. We need simple faith.
The God who provides salvation and freedom from sin, is also powerful enough to take care of us and to meet our needs.

Mark 10:14-16 records Jesus’ response to his disciples… “He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.”5MinuteDiscipleship.com

#304: Is God Welcome in Your Life? Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

Episode 304 - Show Notes:

God wants to be at home in our lives. He wants the freedom to move in any direction he chooses.
If Jesus is not lord of all, then he is not lord at all.
It requires giving Jesus access to every area of our lives and by saying yes to the work of the Holy Spirit.
Everything you need is on the other side of surrendering your life to God.

Ephesians 3:16-17 - “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”

#303: Obeying the Prompting of the Holy Spirit Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

Episode 303 - Show Notes:

Have you sensed the prompting of the Holy Spirit? It’s the inner voice of God in your spirit telling you to say something or to do something.
What if we woke up each morning with the prayer, “Lord, use my life today. Guide my steps. Lead me to those you want me to interact with. Make my life a blessing to others.”
These encounters for Christ should be the norm, not the exception.
Let’s be ready to obey when God speaks.

Psalm 27:33 - “The steps of a man are established by the Lord.”

#302: The Voices We Listen To Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Episode 301 - Show Notes:

There are so many voices that are competing for our attention.
What we listen to impacts what we think and how we feel. It even impacts what we say and what we do.
In the midst of all the noice around us, there is one voice we must hear…it is a still small voice. It is the voice of God.
Let’s make sure the still, small voice of God is the loudest voice in our lives.

John 10:27 - “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

#301: How To Get More Faith Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Episode 301 - Show Notes:

We know from reading the book of Hebrews that it is impossible to please God without faith. Faith is essential.
The more we know of God through his Word, the more we will discover how we are to trust Him.
Stepping out in faith leads to gaining more faith. The more we trust God, the more we learn he can be trusted.
If you want more faith in God, you must trust him right now, with where you are, and with what you are going through. If you can’t trust him today, it’s not likely you’ll trust him tomorrow.

Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

#300: The Power of the Holy Spirit Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Episode 300 - Show Notes:

We need the power of the Holy Spirit today, just as much as the early NT church. Why? The mission Jesus has given us is the same.
Here is a powerful question: Have we stopped praying and asking God to fill us with his power?
Without the Holy Spirit we operate in our own strength and only accomplish human-size results. But when we live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence is supernatural.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

#299: The Ongoing Work of God's Grace Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

Episode 299 - Show Notes:

Grace is the unmerited or underserved kindness of God. We receive the gift by placing our faith in Jesus and his death and resurrection on our behalf.
The undeserved, unmerited kindness and favor of God not only brings us to salvation, it teaches us to live a new way. It teaches us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. It teaches us to say not so ungodliness and sinful, worldly passions.
The work of God does not stop at our salvation. It begins at salvation. We are not just saved from an old life. We are saved to a new life.

Titus 2:11-12 - “ For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”

#298: The Posture of Prayer Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

Episode 298 - Show Notes:

God is more concerned about the posture of your heart than he is your physical body.
When we pray, it’s not critical that we kneel, bow, stand, sit, or lie down. What is important is that our spiritual hearts are in the right position.
As you pray today, choose a physical posture that you are comfortable with, but make sure the posture of your heart includes humility, gratitude, and purity.

2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven.”

The basics of honoring God, obeying God, and being faithful to God was not only important in our past, it will be vital for our future.
You may be walking into a new season of your life. Step forward with courage and with God’s strength and whatever you do, stick to the basics.

Joshua 1:9 - “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
