    #674: Every Generation Needs Their Own Stories Aug 15, 2022
    Show notes

    This generation must believe God to move in power so they too, will have their own stories to tell. We cannot let the story of God’s power die with our generation.


    Main Points:

    1. We must continue telling the next generation the stories of God’s faithfulness. Has God done a miracle in your life? Do you have a God story? Do you have a praise report and a testimony? It is essential that you tell your children and grandchildren. It’s necessary for us to tell our children and youth ministries what God has done.
    2. These stories plant seeds of faith in the hearts of the next generation. These seeds of faith enable the next generation to believe that the God of the past will also work in the present.
    3. Tell your story. Find someone of the younger generation and tell them your stories of what God has done. Let them know they too can believe God for their own stories.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Joshua 4:20-24 - “And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.”


    "Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord.” (Psalm 102:18)=

    "Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.” (Psalm 71:18)

    #673: When is Jesus Coming Back? Aug 12, 2022
    Show notes

    As we read the Bible, it is very clear, Jesus is coming back. While many scoff and disbelieve, it doesn’t change the truth of what Jesus has said. We don’t know when He is coming, but we do know He is coming soon.


    Main Points:

    1. We live in a world today that scoffs at the idea of Jesus returning. Their cynicism fulfills the prophecy scripture gave concerning the end times.
    2. I believe in the imminent return of Christ, meaning I believe Jesus could return at any time. Jesus could return today. He could return while you are listening to this episode.
    3. Don’t give up hope. Don’t let go of your belief in the promise of Christ’s return. He said he would come back, and he will. When is Jesus coming back? He is coming back soon.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Acts 1:10-11 tells the story. “They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

    Revelation 22:20-21 - “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” “Amen, come, Lord Jesus.”
    2 Peter 3:4 - “They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

    Matthew 24:44 - “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

    2 Peter 3:9 - "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

    #672: A Small Amount of Courage Aug 11, 2022
    Show notes

    To fulfill God’s plan for your life, it will take courage. Your next step will require courage. But here’s what’s encouraging, you don’t have to exhibit a lot of courage, just a small amount will do. Imagine what God can do with a small amount of courage!


    Main Points:

    1. We all admire people with great faith. You know, those who do big things for God. But can I remind you that every great thing done for God began with a small step of faith. God rewards our faith. He loves it when his children step out with small steps of courage and obey Him.
    2. I’m struck by the idea of small acts of courage. What could you and I do for God, if we just had the courage? How many times did we miss the will of God, because we were afraid? How many times could God have used our lives, yet we failed to step out due to a lack of courage?
    3. While we lament those times when we missed God’s will, we also recognize God is not finished with us. He has not given up on us. He still wants to use our lives for His glory. So, today look around. Listen for the Holy Spirit. Be alert and ready for the moment when you will take a step of faith and courage.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Joshua 1:9 - “be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

    Zechariah 4:10 - “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”

    #671: Walking Faithfully With God Aug 10, 2022
    Show notes

    Often in Scripture, our relationship with God is described as a walk. Sometimes we’ll use the phrase “we are on a journey.” This idea goes back to the relationship Adam and Eve had with God in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:8 - “God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day.”


    Main Points:

    1. When I preach funerals, I’ll often say, “The best gift you can give your family and friends is the assurance that you are in Heaven. Let your legacy be that you loved and served Jesus faithfully. Leave behind the powerful memory that you were someone who walked with God.
    2. The Bible teaches us as believers to walk in love, walk in the light, walk in wisdom, and walk in the Spirit. These instructions remind us the Christian life is not static. It’s not stationary. There is no place of stopping. There is no plateau of spiritual growth. There is no place of arrival, where we can stop growing in our relationship with God. We must keep walking.
    3. So, today, let’s get out our walking shoes. Let’s spend time with Jesus. Let’s journey with Him. Let’s grow in our relationship with God. Today is a good day to grow spiritually.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Micah 6:8 - “walk humbly with your God.”
    2 Corinthians 6:16 - “As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
    Genesis 5:24 - “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.”

    Hebrews 11:5 - “By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.”

    #670: Stand Firm in the Faith Aug 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Do you know someone who has abandoned their faith in Jesus? So do I. My heart breaks for those who once believed in Jesus and trusted His Word. They worshipped right alongside us as we gathered Sunday mornings. We served together in the work of the Lord. But along the way, something happened.


    Main Points:

    1. Sometimes the departure from the faith was the result of slow neglect. Over time apathy sets in. They no longer have the desire to serve the Lord. Eventually, they began to question their faith and what they believed, which led them to walk away completely.
    2. I woke up this morning with a burden to pray for my friends who are no longer serving Jesus. I pray their faith will be rekindled. I pray they will feel God’s presence and long for the joy of knowing and serving Him. I pray the emptiness of a life without God, will once again be satisfied by the overwhelming peace of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
    3. I must acknowledge there are people who were more godly and more spiritual than I am who have abandoned their faith in Jesus. Who am I to think that I could not fall away?


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    1 Corinthians 10:12 - “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”

    1 Corinthians 16:13 - “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

    Ephesians 6:10 - “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.”

    #669: The Plans of a Fool Aug 08, 2022
    Show notes

    Have you ever encountered someone who simply wouldn’t listen to wise advice? Or what about you? Have you ever refused to listen to words of wisdom? The Bible calls this decision "foolish."


    Main Points:

    1. The Bible teaches us that a foolish person is the one who leaves God out. In fact, Psalm 14:1 - “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.” According to the Scripture, the fool either doesn’t believe in God or they don’t consider God and his ways. They leave God out. The fool doesn’t follow Godly wisdom or advice. The fool leaves God out of their planning and goes their own way.
    2. Charles Stanley wrote, “Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God's perspective and respond according to scriptural principles.”
    3. I believe to gain wisdom we must have humility. As long as we think we know better, we’ll neglect Godly wisdom, whether it comes from Scripture or a trusted friend. When we humble ourselves, we are declaring God knows better. We are acknowledging our weaknesses and our limitations. We are trusting God to lead us to make the right decisions.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Proverbs 12:15 - “The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.”

    Proverbs 28:26 - “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.”
    Proverbs 14:12 - “There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death.”

    1 Corinthians 3:19 - “The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.”

    #668: Is Your Heart in Tune with God? Aug 05, 2022
    Show notes

    My heart does not naturally follow after God. It does not naturally seek after Him. With intentionality, I must get back in tune with God.


    Main Points:

    1. We can ask, “Are my words out of tune with the Spirit of God? Have my words been negative, critical, crass, or even vulgar? Have my words been filled with complaint, gossip, criticism, or profanity?" We can tune our hearts and our words back to things that please the Lord. Our words can be a blessing and a sweet sound to others.
    2. We can also ask, “Are my thoughts out of tune with the Spirit of God?” What have we been thinking about lately? No one on earth knows our thoughts, but God sees them all. We can tune our thoughts back to the things that please the Lord.
    3. Do you need an adjustment in your spirit? Is your heart slightly out of tune with God? Pray this prayer: “Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight.”


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Jeremiah 17:9 - “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”

    David in Psalm 19:14 - “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight.”

    Luke 6:45 - “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”

    #667: Faith in God's Protection Aug 04, 2022
    Show notes

    Today you and I will face things that will threaten our faith, especially our faith in God’s protection. You might be worried about your marriage, the decisions your children are making, the future of your career, the economy, or even your physical safety. You might be worried about your retirement account, the increase in crime in your neighborhood, or an upcoming medical test. There are so many things that threaten our faith in God’s protection.


    Main Points:

    1. First, remembering God’s past protection inspires us to believe God will protect us in the present and future. Remembering what God has already done inspires confidence in God’s future faithfulness.
    2. Second, David knows the power of verbalizing his faith. He worships out loud. In Psalm 27:6 David says, “I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.” By writing down this Psalm he is declaring what he believes about God. In doing both of these things, he is encouraging his own soul in the Lord.
    3. You and I can do this today. No matter what you are facing, put your faith in God and in His power to protect you.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Psalm 27:1-2 - “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.”

    #666: Another Comforter Aug 03, 2022
    Show notes

    What brings us comfort is the recognition that we are not alone. Jesus said this comforter would “abide with you forever.” We don’t face the trials of life by ourselves. He is with us. What a blessing to have God in our lives. Every day we can feel his presence. Every day, regardless of our circumstances, we can rely on the strength and comfort He provides.


    Main Points:

    1. Jesus was preparing his disciples for his departure but encouraged them with the truth that the Holy Spirit was coming and He would be with them forever.
    2. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, the Holy Spirit will be your comforter. When you are afraid, anxious, and worried, the Holy Spirit is there to provide comfort. When you are nervous and uncertain about the future, recognize the Holy Spirit is present to comfort you. When you are upset, disappointed, and angry, the Holy Spirit is right there to bring comfort.
    3. One of the evidences that God is at work in the lives of believers is that they are living in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. This world produces fear, anxiety, frustration, and anger, but the Holy Spirit produces comfort. This comfort should be one of the distinctions of the life of a believer. We should be known for the comfort we live with. Those around us should notice that we don’t live with the same fear and worry that unbelievers do.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    John 14:16 - “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.”
    Acts 9:31 - “Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.”
    2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

    #665: Finding Peace in God's Presence Aug 02, 2022
    Show notes

    The presence of God is an amazing thing. To think that God is with us is incredible. God is omnipresent. He is always with us. In fact, He promised to never leave us or forsake us. But if that is true, why don’t we experience more peace? The answer is that we are not always aware of God’s presence.


    Main Points:

    1. J. Oswald Sanders - “Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God.”
    2. Most often, we are more aware of our fears, anxieties, our problems and struggle. These present difficulties occupy our thought and emotions. We can let them take over. But when we are consumed with fear, worry and anxiety, we are less consumed with thoughts about God. So, the issue is not about God’s location. The issue is with our awareness of His presence.
    3. So, let me ask you: How aware are you today of God’s presence? Are your thoughts focused on the Lord? Have you spent time with him today? Have you read His Word and allowed it to speak to your soul? Have you made time to worship and pray? Spending time with God is the most important thing you will do today.


    Today’s Scripture Verses:

    Philippians 4:6-7 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
