Christ and His Churches Part 1
Thursday, March 11, 2010 - Thursday
Would you feel uneasy if someone told you they had a vision? It's easy to be leery when there's no real way to confirm their story. Our only true test is evidence...seeing the vision fulfilled. Regardless of our personal experiences, there's an account of one person's visions we can trust - someone whose visions have already begun to transpire. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah outlines five reasons that John's vision of the risen, glorified Christ is accurate and reliable.
The Inside Cover of the Book Part 2
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 - Wednesday
When you're reading your Bible, what book do you end up reading most often? Perhaps you enjoy the encouragement of the Psalms or the wisdom of Proverbs. Or maybe you enjoy the New Testament letters of Paul or instruction from Jesus in the Gospels. Why do many of us avoid opening our Bibles to Revelation? More than likely we don't know enough about it. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah gives us the basics on this little known book as he continues his series, "Escape the Coming Night".
The Inside Cover of the Book Part 1
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 - Tuesday
We've all had a shopping experience at a book store...strolling the aisles for a book that captures our attention. Publishers spend a lot of time trying to persuade us to choose their book. Cover art, subtitles, endorsements, and the location of the book within the store - it all plays an important part in our decision to open the book and look inside. Of all the books available to us today, there's one we should choose to open - the Book of Revelation.
Getting Excited About Revelation Part 2
Monday, March 08, 2010 - Monday
According to a question posed on Yahoo! Answers, most people claim that Revelation is their favorite book of the Bible. What were the reasons given? It's scary, interesting, fascinating, and futuristic. While scanning the answers, it's obvious that both Christians and non-Christians were excited about the book...some motivated by adventure, others motivated by information. In this message, we'll learn more reasons to be excited about this book as Dr. Jeremiah continues his series, "Escape the Coming Night".
Getting Excited About Revelation Part 1
Friday, March 05, 2010 - Friday
Did you see the movies Independence Day, Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, or 2012? Combined, these movies have grossed more than nine-hundred million dollars in sales...and 2012 was just in theaters this past November. People are fascinated with end of the world movies. Maybe they're interested because they're not sure what the future holds. The Book of Revelation has many answers about the future...if we're willing to study the Book and find them.
A Panorama of Prophecy Part 2
Thursday, March 04, 2010 - Thursday
"Terror in Baghdad: Dozens Killed." "Is Pakistani Terrorist Group Going Global?" "H1N1 Has Spread Through Finland." "Plague or Mutant H1N1 Infects Forty-Thousand, Kills Hundreds." It's easy to grow fearful reading the headlines today. But seeing the world through the landscape of prophecy helps us understand what is happening...and why. As Dr. Jeremiah continues his series, Escape the Coming Night, he will help us find comfort in the fact that Christ will return...and soon.
A Panorama of Prophecy Part 1
Wednesday, March 03, 2010 - Wednesday
Stories of war, violence, joblessness, and famine fill the daily headlines. As we look over the landscape of our world today, things don't look good. Our current global situation seems bleak - especially if we don't understand what the Bible has to say about the future. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will begin his series on the Book of Revelation, Escape the Coming Night, by communicating the importance of biblical prophecy, especially in the times in which we live.
Tough-Minded About Heaven Part 2
Tuesday, March 02, 2010 - Tuesday
Do your days always go exactly as you plan them? More than likely the answer to that question is a resounding, "No!" Life sure has a way of keeping us distracted. If our thoughts and lists are consumed with the everyday things we have to do, when do we think about our Savior? When do we prepare for our eternal home? As he concludes his series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven, Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us that heaven is real and Christ is coming - and we need to be ready!
Tough-Minded About Heaven Part 1
Monday, March 01, 2010 - Monday
Have you ever accidentally driven the wrong way down a one-way street? It can be quite unnerving. Even if we don't appreciate one-way streets, they do serve a purpose. In life, many people refuse to believe that the road to heaven is one way. They insist there are different roads...just do what feels right, and we'll all end up together in the end. The ways of the world can easily distract us from the truth we know about heaven. And that's why Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us to stay focused on our Eternal Home.
What About the Children? Part 2
Friday, February 26, 2010 - Friday
Parents aren't supposed to outlive their children. But too often, it happens. How do you console someone who's lost a child? No matter the age or circumstances, it is something no parent wants to face. If there is a loss, the parents want to know that their child is in heaven, under God's care. How does God view their eternal destiny? Does the Bible give assurance to parents who have lost a child?
What About the Children? Part 1
Thursday, February 25, 2010 - Thursday
Do you ever wonder how children view heaven? One little boy said, "When you die, your soul goes to heaven, but your body can't go. It's too crowded up there already." And one little girl said, "You don't need to take anything with you to heaven. God is there, and that's all anyone needs." But what if they are too young to understand? What if something happened to them before that time? Would they spend eternity with Christ in heaven?
What On Earth Is the Millennium? Part 2
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - Wednesday
Can you imagine a world filled with peace, prosperity, and fulfilled promises? A world without death? A world filled with joy? We all long for that world. And during every election, politicians promise us these very things, yet they're unable to come through. No man is capable of giving us the perfect world we all desire . . . but God can, and He will. Christ will one day rule over the world for a thousand years . . . years that will be full of hope and adoration.
What On Earth Is the Millennium? Part 1
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - Tuesday
What would you say are some of the greatest achievements of the past hundred years? There's been space exploration, the creation of vaccines, and the advancement of democracy. If these amazing things have happened in the past hundred years, what about the past thousand? We've certainly come a long way. What would happen if Jesus ruled the earth for a thousand years? Find out as we continue the series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven.
The New Heaven and the New Earth Part 2
Monday, February 22, 2010 - Monday
Rain is one of God's creations that offers a feeling of refreshment and renewal. Even though we may not enjoy the inconveniences of weather, we certainly love how it looks and smells after it's over. Everything is green, refreshed, and clean. And when we get the first snow of the season and look out over the white trees, streets, and sidewalks . . . everything seems so calm and pristine. In a similar way, God is going to restore the earth to create our forever home.
The New Heaven and the New Earth Part 1
Friday, February 19, 2010 - Friday
Do you enjoy home improvement projects? Even if you've never done one yourself, you've certainly seen it done. It's amazing how you can take a home and transform it with some new paint, furniture, and hard work. And the best part is that you have the comfort and familiarity of your old home with all the aesthetic touches of a new one. In this message, we'll discover that our eternal home is a completely remodeled version of our old one.
Worship in Heaven Part 2
Thursday, February 18, 2010 - Thursday
Do we really understand the purpose of our creation? Some people may think they were created to be a mother. Others may think they were created to teach or to work as a missionary. All are high callings, but they weren't the purpose of our creation. We were created to worship God - to acknowledge His honor, glory, and power - both here on earth and in heaven. Join Dr. David Jeremiah as he continues his series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven, by describing the passion or worshipping God for all eternity.
Worship in Heaven Ppart 1
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - Wednesday
Our world is full of outstanding choirs - the Cambridge Choir of the UK, the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and the list goes on. There's nothing more amazing than a group of voices coming together in beautiful harmony, especially when their intention is to honor God, like Prestonwood Choir and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. If we're blessed by music here on earth, what will worship be like in heaven?
The Heavenly City Part 2
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - Tuesday
Do you admire interesting architecture? If so, you've surely noted the symbol of Paris, The Eiffel Tower. Or perhaps the Sydney Opera House, the Great Pyramids, the Parthenon, or the Roman Coliseum caught your eye. The world is full of amazing architecture. But as incredible as these buildings may be, they're made from iron, concrete, and stone. So, can you imagine a city full of beautiful buildings made of jewels? Only in the New Jerusalem.
The Heavenly City Part 1
Monday, February 15, 2010 - Monday
If you could visit any city in the world, where would you go? More than likely cities like Paris, Rome, Israel, Sydney, or London come to mind. What makes these locations so desirable? They're beautiful, full of amazing architecture and interesting sights. But if we find these cities appealing, how do you think we'll react to the Heavenly City - The New Jerusalem? Dr. Jeremiah helps us discover the glory of our heavenly home as he continues his series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven.
Heaven's Oscars Part 2
Friday, February 12, 2010 - Friday
Do you think it's a good idea to reward success? As a society we seem to think so, and we have plenty of awards to prove it. There's the Heisman Trophy, Stanley Cup, Grammy's, and Emmy's. And awards don't stop with entertainment and sports, as we see with the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer. But as much as we value awards here on earth, worldly honors don't compare to the awards that await us in heaven.
Heaven's Oscars Part 1
Thursday, February 11, 2010 - Thursday
The Oscars have a special way of capturing our attention each year . . . even if we don't tune-in on the big night. Beginning in 1928, the awards ceremony was created to improve the world's perception of the Hollywood image . . . and to a certain degree, it worked. Many people are now eager to discover who will be named best actor, actress, and director. As exciting as the Oscars may be, there will soon be an awards ceremony unlike any other you have ever seen.
The Ultimate Extreme Makeover Part 2
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - Wednesday
Even if you don't watch it on a regular basis, you've surely seen at least one episode of "Extreme Makeover: The Home Edition." Each episode offers a new hope, a new start for a deserving family. And at the end of the show, you see grateful and often teary-eyed family members expressing thanks for the unexpected blessing of a renovated home. Well, in a similar way, Christians have a new, resurrected body to look forward to . . . a body completely undeserved, but given by grace.
The Ultimate Extreme Makeover Part 1
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 - Tuesday
Are you aware of the mounting popularity of the beauty industry? According to a 2008 study, the average woman spends more than one-hundred dollars a month on cosmetic and beauty products - allowing the industry to gross more than eight billion each year. It's possible to lessen the signs of aging, but we can't stop it completely. This is why we can look forward, with anticipation, to our resurrection bodies - the ultimate extreme make-over.
Won't Heaven Be Boring? Part 2
Monday, February 08, 2010 - Monday
We've all had boring moments in our lives. As children, it was the time we spent waiting for our parents. As we grew older, it was the time spent in class listening to our teacher drone on about a subject we didn't really care about. As an adult we probably experienced tedious moments at work. Boredom is often linked to things we don't want to do. If that's the case, how could we ever think heaven would be dull? In this message, we'll discover that heaven will be many things, but boring isn't one of them.
Won't Heaven Be Boring? Part 1
Friday, February 05, 2010 - Friday
Have you ever tried to contact someone who's retired? It can be nearly impossible. In fact, most people are busier during retirement than they ever were while working. They join clubs, spend time with friends, take classes, travel, you name it. We can safely say that retirement is far from boring, so what's in store for us when we retire from this earth? Dr. David Jeremiah gives us five ways in which heaven will be unlike anything we've ever experienced here on earth.
Where Are They Now? Part 2
Thursday, February 04, 2010 - Thursday
Have you ever noticed how many movies have references to the afterlife? In the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, we're given the idea that people can come back from the afterlife to interact with the living and deliver a message. With all the fiction surrounding the idea of life after death, it's that much more important for God's people to know the truth. As Dr. Jeremiah continues his series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven, he will use God's Word to help us understand our options for an eternal destination.
Where Are They Now? Part 1
Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - Wednesday
Do you believe in life after death? There's certainly a wide range of beliefs to choose from - reincarnation, spirit prison, paradise, heaven, hell, or no afterlife at all. We could easily speculate on which option seems most realistic, but it's best to go to the Source - God's Word. Within God's Word, Jesus tells a story of two men and their eternal destinations. Dr. David Jeremiah uses this illustration to answer the question many of us ask when someone dies, "Where Are They Now?"
What's Up With Heaven? Part 2
Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - Tuesday
If you took a survey of the people in your church, you would find that most people believe in heaven. In fact, most of those people could tell you how to get to heaven, and why it's important to make that decision. But could they give you a description of what to expect once you're there? Sadly, many of us don't know the elements of our future home. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah continues his series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven, by outlining all there is to know about heaven.
What's Up With Heaven? Part 1
Monday, February 01, 2010 - Monday
Do you think you would be surprised by the average person's perception of heaven? Well, according to a 2008 survey of thirty-five hundred people, 74 percent of the people surveyed believe in life after death. But do they truly understand heaven? Do they know what it-s like? Do they know how to get there? Well, Dr. David Jeremiah wants to clarify the misperceptions many people have about heaven as he begins his new series, Revealing the Mysteries of Heaven.
God's Promise to Provide
Friday, January 29, 2010 - Friday
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a broken promise? It's a horrible feeling to be let down, and yet it happens so often in life. Sometimes it's easier to have low expectations and condition ourselves not to trust others in the hopes that we won't feel the pain of disappointment again. But as we conclude the series High Definition Giving Dr. Jeremiah will show us that there is Someone whose promises never fail - and He often exceeds our expectations.
Growing in the Grace of Giving Part 2
Thursday, January 28, 2010 - Thursday
Do you ever feel like you're giving a lot more than you're receiving? Maybe you offer to assist others at work, but no one ever offers to help you. Many of us take in God's grace, thankful for His generosity each and every day, but we rarely think of ourselves as being capable of supplying grace to others. But we're instructed to give our tithes and offerings with grace in the remembrance of the grace God has given to us.
Growing in the Grace of Giving Part 1
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - Wednesday
Parenting has a lot of challenging moments, but any mom or dad will tell you that it's all worth the effort. Especially when you hear that tiny voice whisper, "I love you Mommy," or they throw their arms around you and smother you with kisses. We love it when our children give back to us in this way. God, too, desires acts of love from His children. How are you giving back to God to express your love to Him? In this message, we'll learn how to show God our love by giving back to Him.
The Spirituality of Your Checkbook
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - Tuesday
Are you fascinated by the idea of "climbing the corporate ladder"? It's undoubtedly crossed many of our minds, but management is a responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly. As a manager, the success of the company rests on your shoulders. And as Christians, we're all managers - managers of the gifts, talents, and resources God has entrusted to us. How's your job performance? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will give us three principles to help us manage all that God has delegated to us.
Sowing and Reaping
Monday, January 25, 2010 - Monday
Do we understand the scientific principles of nature? Perhaps we can define the law of conservation of mass and the law of gravity. But do we know why mass cannot be created or destroyed, or why objects with mass attract one another? Probably not, but we know the principles work every time because God designed them. God often uses natural principles for instruction, including sowing and reaping. In this message, we'll discover the correlation between this harvest principle and stewardship.
Jesus At the Treasury Part 2
Friday, January 22, 2010 - Friday
Why do you think so many people are skilled in the art of making excuses? Justification for behavior is certainly a popular theme - we even see it in children. Perhaps people are embarrassed to reveal the truth. Maybe they were never expected to act responsibly. Whatever the cause, we have become a society of excuses, and Christians are just as guilty...especially when it comes to financial stewardship. In this message, we'll be challenged to remember that God knows what we have, and He knows our circumstances. Will we give back to Him with this in mind?
Jesus At the Treasury Part 1
Thursday, January 21, 2010 - Thursday
We all know that parents and teachers have "eyes in the back of their heads," or so we thought growing up. It seemed like our authority figures always knew what we were going to do before we did it...like they could read our minds. In reality, they weren't mind-readers - just skilled in the art of childhood schemes. But Jesus does know our thoughts and intentions, even in the area of giving. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will explain that giving is more than putting money in an offering plate; it's an act of worship.
Solomon's Advice About Money
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - Wednesday
Perhaps one of the most prevalent stories of 2009 was that of Bernie Madoff and his fifty million dollar ponzi scheme. From country clubs, to non-profits, to CEOs, to actors - thousands of people lost money, and many lost everything. Unfortunately, our society values money as more than just a currency. It's who we are and what we do - it's our life. In this message, we'll consult with an expert on money, one of the richest men who ever lived - Solomon - and discover the risk of finding security in monetary success.
Stewardship Is Lordship Part 2
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - Tuesday
Can you imagine Donald Trump's assistant offering to pay for Trump's lunch? He might accept the offer out of respect, but he's certainly capable of paying for himself. In the same way, our tithes are nothing compared to the resources God possesses - He owns everything! So, does God really need our money? Of course not. In this message, we'll learn that God asks us to tithe as a reminder that nothing belongs to us, and everything we have comes from Him.
Stewardship Is Lordship Part 1
Monday, January 18, 2010 - Monday
Are you ever surprised when a stranger holds the door for you in public? More than likely, we're shocked because that type of courtesy is seldom seen these days. People tend to focus on their goal without stopping for anyone along the way. In the spiritual realm, many think that God is real, but Jesus Christ as Lord is resisted, even by proclaimed followers of Christ. In this message we'll learn that, before we can give our talents and resources to Christ, we have to allow Him to be our Lord.
Priorities of Stewardship
Friday, January 15, 2010 - Friday
Would it surprise you to know that, in the United States alone, the retail clothing industry boasts an annual revenue of one-hundred-thirty billion dollars? It's amazing what we spend money on, what we see as necessity in our lives. And money is only the beginning. How are we spending our time? How are we using our talents? How can we stay alive spiritually in such a materialistic climate?
Giving Yourself First to God
Thursday, January 14, 2010 - Thursday
How many times have you watched your favorite football team lose after a strong fourth quarter push and thought, "If only they had played that way the whole game"? Sometimes we give athletes a hard time, but how often do we give our all to anything or anyone - especially God? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will show us that the best plan for life is to give ourselves to God first and then let His grace guide the direction of our lives.
Putting God First in Our Lives
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - Wednesday
The average person spends about eight hours each day working, eight hours sleeping, four hours caring for children and doing housework, and four hours exercising or participating in other leisure activities. If you add up all the time, our days are gone. If it's true that the way we spend our time reflects what's important to us, what are we doing to show God is important in our lives? In this message, we'll discover that putting God first with our finances is our first, and best, step.
High Definition Giving
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - Tuesday
Did you know that in 2007, more than twenty-eight percent of homes had a high definition TV? And since that time, that number has more than doubled. Why is everyone so excited about HDTV? Well, it makes television clear and defined - more exciting. So what would happen if God's people looked at stewardship through the lens of high definition? It could change our lives both spiritually and financially.
Failure: The Back Door to Success Part 2
Monday, January 11, 2010 - Monday
Have you ever questioned God? Is it difficult to understand what He's doing in your life? Maybe you've been unemployed for months and can't secure a job. Maybe your marriage is struggling and you don't think it will ever recover. Experiencing the cycle of trials and failures can be hard to understand. Although it's difficult to hear, we need to know that failing is often a good thing - because it means God is up to something. And He always has our ultimate success in mind.
Failure: The Back Door to Success Part 1
Friday, January 08, 2010 - Friday
Procrastination Part 2
Thursday, January 07, 2010 - Thursday
We can all agree that procrastination involves putting off work until another time. Yet even the greatest procrastinator gets things done. They just choose to do the things that are more important, or more enjoyable to them...perhaps putting off the more important things of life. In this message, we'll discover that many of us do this with God. We choose to do the things we want to do rather than the things God has called us to do.
Procrastination Part 1
Wednesday, January 06, 2010 - Wednesday
Would you consider yourself a procrastinator? Even if we don't make a habit of dragging our feet, we've experienced a situation where we really didn't want to do something that needed to be done. Perhaps it was a project at work, the dishes in the sink, or making an important doctor's appointment. We all have tasks we don't want to touch. Although procrastination is often a part of life, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us of the risks we run when we put things off...especially the things God has called us to do.
The Outlier of the Christian Life Part 2
Tuesday, January 05, 2010 - Tuesday
Wouldn't you agree that we can often tell if a person is going to "stand out" in a crowd even at a very young age? Perhaps they put significant, purposeful effort into learning even the most basic skills, like: learning to tie their shoes and learning to count. What causes people like this to be noticeable? It's their diligence. In this message, we'll learn that God has given us everything we need to be a "stand out" for Christ; all we have to do is apply diligence.
The Outlier of the Christian Life Part 1
Monday, January 04, 2010 - Monday
Wouldn't you agree that we can often tell if a person is going to "stand out" in a crowd even at a very young age? Perhaps they put significant, purposeful effort into learning even the most basic skills, like: learning to tie their shoes and learning to count. What causes people like this to be noticeable? It's their diligence. In this message, we’ll learn that God has given us everything we need to be a "stand out" for Christ; all we have to do is apply diligence.
God of the Ages
Friday, January 01, 2010 - Friday
As we look forward to a New Year, we can't help but wonder what happened to the last. Or for that matter, what happened to the last ten years? The years seem like yesterday as we look back on them. So what can we do to keep the years from passing us by? How can we find purpose for the future? In this message, we'll discover that God's Word, His truth, is timeless, it's eternal, and it can help prepare our hearts for a new year.
Preparing for a High Definition Life Part 2
Thursday, December 31, 2009 - Thursday
What would you say are the most popular New Year's resolutions? Many sources report that, losing weight, managing debt, getting a better job, going back to school, reducing stress, volunteering more, and traveling are among the top resolutions. As Christians, our goals are often the same as everyone else's, but shouldn't we be different? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah challenges us to maximize the gifts God has given us so we can fulfill our purpose here on earth.
Preparing for a High Definition Life Part 1
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - Wednesday
How many of you own a high-definition TV? If you're one of the millions of people who succumbed to the lure of the latest technology, more than likely you'd never go back to your old TV. The clarity is unbeatable! It makes old movies seem new, and Monday night football more exciting. But as we upgrade our technology, shouldn't we be upgrading our lives as well? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will give us three ways to make high-definition living a reality.
Trusting God in Times of Trouble Part 2
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - Tuesday
A headline seen earlier this year read, "Bad Times Draw Bigger Crowds to Churches." Many of us know this, as we saw our churches packed the Sunday after September 11, 2001. And during the past year, with the financial market in a mess, we saw another surge of people enter our churches. Why is it that trouble brings us closer to God like nothing else can?
Trusting God in Times of Trouble Part 1
Monday, December 28, 2009 - Monday
Financial headlines over the past year have certainly been troubling. And we think nothing like this has ever been seen before. But in 1929, the headlines read, "Second Big Crash Stuns Wall Street." Then in 1931, President Coolidge said, "The country is not in good condition." Tough times are nothing new. Times and events may change, but the trials in life do not. And in this message, we'll learn that we can rely on the God we serve who doesn't change.
The Wonder of Christmas
Friday, December 25, 2009 - Friday
When it starts to snow, do you think, "Oh, I'm going to have to shovel that." Or do you marvel, "Wow! Each of those snowflakes is uniquely created by God." If we're not careful, we can be exposed to God's creation but forget how miraculous it really is. As we go through the Christmas season, caught up in parties and gifts - we don't want to forget how truly miraculous it is that Jesus Christ came to this earth. As we celebrate Christmas today, Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us to remain in awe of Christ's coming as he shares his message, "The Wonder of Christmas."
Anna
Thursday, December 24, 2009 - Thursday
For most of us, Christmas is an exciting time of the year. We're quickly gathering together our gifts and food - anxiously awaiting the arrival of our family. There's not a better time of year. Yet, for some people, Christmas is a time of loneliness. Perhaps they have no family, no one to celebrate with. In this message, we'll look at the life of a precious woman named Anna, and how she overcame her loneliness through the love of Christ.
Simeon Part 2
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever waited for something so long that you thought it would never happen? Sarah certainly felt that way as she waited so many years before having her son Isaac. Noah probably felt that way as he built the ark and waited for the flood waters to come. But the greatest part about waiting is the blessing that comes at the end. In this message, we'll discover that Simeon waited most of his life for the coming of the Messiah. And what a blessing it was when he finally met his Savior - Jesus.
Simeon Part 1
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - Tuesday
Do you ever question whether you're doing God's will? Ever feel like you need God's blessing? We've all experienced this at some point in our lives. And that's when God is so good to send us the right person, a special message, the perfect Scripture to reassure us that we are doing His will. Mary and Joseph must have needed to be reassured after the birth of Jesus, so God sent a message through a faithful man - Simeon.
The Dream
Monday, December 21, 2009 - Monday
Has God ever asked you to do something that seemed crazy? Something that, to the average person, would appear ridiculous? We know God has asked astounding things of His people. He asked Gideon to defeat an army four times the size of his own. He asked Moses to lead the Hebrew people from Egypt. Gideon and Moses both obeyed. But what about Joseph? In this message, we'll learn that God asked Joseph to be the surrogate father of His Son, and although it seemed crazy, Joseph obeyed.
Jesus
Friday, December 18, 2009 - Friday
Did you know that more than ninety-eight million websites are available to assist expecting parents in choosing a name for their child? This number seems a little extreme, but selecting the right name for a child is important. And it's the meaning that holds the greatest significance. It's unlikely that God did much debating when He was choosing the name for His Son. Only one name was truly fitting for a Savior - Jesus!
The Gift Part 2
Thursday, December 17, 2009 - Thursday
Gifts are certainly a special part of our Christmas celebration. And for most of us, the greatest joy comes from giving to others. But have you ever given a gift to someone who rejected it? They didn't want anything to do with you or the present. A gift is not complete unless it has been given and received. In this message, we'll discover that Jesus is the ultimate Christmas gift. He came to offer us the most precious gift, a gift for everyone. But we have to receive it.
The Gift Part 1
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you enjoy gifts at Christmas? Perhaps even more than the actual gifts, we enjoy the anticipation. We look at the gift under the tree, sizing it up to determine what could possibly be inside. Then we pick it up to determine the weight. We enjoy the expectation that comes with gifts. In this message, we'll discover that in much the same way, the coming of the Messiah was a gift many people anxiously awaited for years - knowing He was coming, but not when or how.
Casting Out Fear Part 2
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - Tuesday
How many times have you been startled from a deep sleep by a scared child? Children are prone to having nightmares, so many adults have dealt with calming the fears of a frightened child. How do we free our children from the fear that has overtaken them? For starters, we comfort them with our love, knowing that our love can erase the terror of their dream. In the same way, God wants us to live fearlessly. Dr. Jeremiah shows us that only the love of God can cast out all fear from our lives.
Casting Out Fear Part 1
Monday, December 14, 2009 - Monday
Many people today live in fear. With terrorist attacks, unprecedented natural disasters, and economic downturns, it's no wonder many are living in fear. Aside from global events, people are faced with illnesses, family conflicts, and the deaths of loved ones. With all that we're facing, how do we overcome fear? Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Living in the Light. He'll explain how to overcome fear with love because - "Perfect love casts out all fears."
Loving God—Loving Each Other
Friday, December 11, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever known a couple who had a story-book marriage? Speaking kind words, stealing sweet glances, and selflessly serving one another - a marriage filled with the love of God is precious. When you see a marriage like that, you know they not only love one another, they also love the Lord. In much the same way, we are in a love relationship with Christ. He loved us by giving His life, but how do we show our love for Him? Dr. Jeremiah will show us that loving God is about loving each other.
When We Shall Be Like Him! Part 2
Thursday, December 10, 2009 - Thursday
Would you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Even the most positive optimists are thinking pessimistic ideas these days. Our world seems to be spiraling down a dark track without much light at the end of the tunnel. If we continue to focus on the present, we're sure to feel hopeless. But as Christians, no matter how bad the world gets, we can be optimistic about the future. Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that someday soon, we'll not only see Christ, we'll be like Him.
When We Shall Be Like Him! Part 1
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 - Wednesday
We all understand the phrase, "Hind sight is twenty-twenty," because we've all done something we're not proud of - something we wish we could change. Unfortunately, we can't go back and undo the past. Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand that God knows our failures, past and present, and loves us anyway. And we can live the rest of our lives honoring His plan for us - to be pure and holy until we see Christ and spend eternity with Him.
Living the World Part 2
Tuesday, December 08, 2009 - Tuesday
What would be your greatest piece of advice to a friend who is trying to lose weight by eating less? Would you tell them to go to their favorite restaurant? Would you tell them to go down the snack aisle at the grocery store? Of course not! You would encourage them to avoid situations where they'd be tempted to over eat. In much the same way, we'll discover today that loving the world can be destructive to our relationship with God and can stunt our spiritual growth.
Living the World Part 1
Monday, December 07, 2009 - Monday
Do you believe in love at first sight? Most of us would say love takes time. It starts with admiration and develops into more. How do Christians become so "in love" with the world? It starts by admiring an actor, enjoying a certain television show, or reading the magazines in the check-out line. Before we know it, we're hooked. The enticing world has us captivated. But God didn't intend for us to love the world to the point of becoming part of it. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to warn us of the dangers of loving the world too much.
Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 2
Friday, December 04, 2009 - Friday
Many societies today are dealing with the negative effects of the "Boomerang Generation." They're called "boomerang" because they represent adult children who move back home and allow their parents to provide for them. For some people in this situation, they've chosen familiarity rather than stepping out on their own and growing by personal experience. Unfortunately, many people do this in their Christian walk. Dr. Jeremiah has some thoughts for us about the importance of growing in our faith.
Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 1
Thursday, December 03, 2009 - Thursday
The antics of children never cease to amaze us. But we understand that at each stage of their development they are learning from their choices and even their mistakes. But, as they grow older, we give them more responsibility and expect more from them. Our ultimate goal? That they will grow into mature adults, setting an example for the next generation. In this message, we'll learn that God desires the same kind of growth in our spiritual lives.
Trust and Obey Part 2
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever seen a military group being trained? The commanding officer gives an order, and the soldiers immediately obey. Can you imagine what would happen if a few of the men decided they didn't really feel like following orders? Obedience is a crucial aspect of the military. Orders must be executed immediately to ensure the safety of the soldiers and to properly execute the mission. In much the same way, we are soldiers for Christ. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us of the importance of our obedience to Him.
Trust and Obey Part 1
Tuesday, December 01, 2009 - Tuesday
What would you say is the most important trait we teach our children? Is it honesty? Perhaps compassion? Or maybe it's patience. All of these characteristics are valuable, but the most important trait is obedience. When children learn the importance of obedience, they not only honor their parents, they honor God, and prepare themselves to obey Him. Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Living in the Light, by teaching us what obedience reveals about our spiritual life.
The Games Christians Play Part 2
Monday, November 30, 2009 - Monday
So many people are plagued with the disease of denial. Despite overwhelming evidence, these people refuse to accept facts placed before them because it's easier that way. They'd rather live their lives based on feelings than facts. Do they know what they're missing? In the same way, many Christians live in denial of sin. Dr. David Jeremiah will teach us that the denial of the power, presence, and practice of sin can rob us of our joy in Christ.
The Games Christians Play Part 1
Friday, November 27, 2009 - Friday
With the current job market, a lot of people are relocating to find work - perhaps to a place they never imagined living. In situations like this, it's easy to focus solely on the daily routine in the new location, never becoming a part of the community or realizing that new friends and experiences are available to them. In this message, we'll discover that, in the same way, many Christians never take the opportunity to experience the joy of fellowship with Christ.
The Importance of Knowing Part 2
Thursday, November 26, 2009 - Thursday
"Tolerance" is the popular buzzword these days. But the definition of tolerance has been distorted from its original meaning. Now, if we want to be considered "tolerant," we have to celebrate everyone's beliefs as being equally valid and true, even to the point of telling Christian churches they have to tolerate those who choose to believe false doctrines. Never has there been a more important time to know God's Word and know why it is the Truth!
The Importance of Knowing Part 1
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? Knowing what we believe, knowing God's Word, becomes more important every year. With the number of cults increasing and those already in existence flourishing, we can't help but ask ourselves, "why?" Why are people turning from Truth to false doctrine, to empty hope? It might be because they never really knew the truth. Join Dr. David Jeremiah for a critical message from First John called, "The Importance of Knowing."
What Can I Do When Trouble Overwhelms Me?
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 - Tuesday
Rebellious children. Aging parents. Job insecurities. Unstable finances. Failing health. Many of us are struggling in some area of our lives and we're overwhelmed. At times even our attempts to fix the problem seems futile. Why is it so hard? Isn't life as a Christian supposed to be easy? In the conclusion of his series God, I Need Some Answers, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that God never promised us a trouble-free life - but He did give us instructions for how to overcome them.
So Why Should I Be Thankful?
Monday, November 23, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever watched a mother train her child by providing the opportunity to make a choice? Often it's very effective and develops the child's ability to reflect on the decision, even at a young age. From the moment we wake-up, our lives are filled with choices. So making decisions isn't foreign to us. But what about the choice we need to make regarding our thankfulness? Dr. Jeremiah continues his series today, God, I Need Some Answers, by answering this important question, "So Why Should I Be Thankful?"
How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 2
Friday, November 20, 2009 - Friday
There seems to be a trend in our society of people avoiding responsibility. We see it in people who have children and don't take care of them. We see it in people who don't pay their bills. The thought is, "If I just ignore it long enough, it might just go away." And we all know how well that works. Yet, many people try to do this with sin. They ignore it, hoping it will go away. But Dr. Jeremiah wants us to know that sin cannot be ignored.
How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 1
Thursday, November 19, 2009 - Thursday
Forgiveness is often a difficult concept, especially if we've ever been deeply hurt by someone we love. Most of us would agree that it's nearly impossible to forgive someone who's not sorry for what they've done. But when that person comes to you in brokenness, completely devastated over the pain they've caused in your life - now, that is the beginning of true forgiveness. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will show us that our forgiveness from God happens in a very similar way.
Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 2
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever feel like being faithful to God isn’t worth it? We spend our time serving at the Church, teaching a Bible study, or helping an elderly neighbor, and why? After all, ungodly people ignore God in the pursuit of personal happiness, and often drift through life without a care. Yet Christians face so many trials - it seems unfair! Why do good things happen to bad people?
Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 1
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever seen television shows that allow a glimpse into the lives of people living in self-indulgent luxury? These shows and others like them can cause us to wonder why these people live in abundance - especially when many of them outwardly deny God and His truth. As we continue the series God, I Need Some Answers, we'll discover that our lives here on earth are temporary, and we need to view life from God's perspective.
How Can I Help My Family? Part 2
Monday, November 16, 2009 - Monday
Parenting resources are endless these days. Books, magazines, websites, chat rooms - we're guaranteed to find the answers to our most difficult questions. Unfortunately, many of us try the world's approach and end up making the situation even worse. So, where can we find the strategies for effective parenting? How can we really help our families? Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that God created families, and He gave us instructions throughout His Word on how to make them work.
How Can I Help My Family? Part 1
Friday, November 13, 2009 - Friday
Did you know that the divorce rate has increased by more than two-hundred percent over the past thirty years? That's probably why a professor at Cornell University claims that the decline of marriage is the most significant demographic change since the end of World War II. The breakdown of marriage and family is causing a collapse in our moral standards and quality of life. So, how do we protect our families from becoming a statistic?
How Do I Face My Fears? Part 2
Thursday, November 12, 2009 - Thursday
Are you experiencing anxiety and fear? Perhaps you're afraid of losing your job as you continue to watch the struggling financial market. Or maybe you've already experienced cutbacks at work, and you're not sure how you're going to pay your mortgage. There's certainly plenty to be concerned about these days, filling us with worry. Where do these fears come from? How can we overcome them? Find out the answers to these questions and more when you join Dr. Jeremiah for his message, "How Do I Face My Fears?"
How Do I Face My Fears? Part 1
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - Wednesday
"Car Bomb Kills Thirty in Southern Iraq." "Four Allegedly Plotted to Bomb NYC Temple." "Afghan Wedding Party Bombed." The headlines grow more troubling every day. During the summer of 2009, more than four-hundred-fifty people were killed by acts of terrorism. This is enough to make us fearful of getting out of bed each day. So what do we do? How do we face these fears? Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that God's Word has a plan for the fearful.
How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 2
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - Tuesday
In 2002, National Public Radio conducted a survey of listeners called, "Books That Changed Your Life." Among the titles - Lord of the Rings, Tale of Two Cities, Madame Bovary, The Pickwick Papers, and Pride and Prejudice. All of these books are classics, and no doubt had a lasting impression on the readers. But were they actually transforming? Do they have the power to change people? In this message, we'll discover one book that can truly change your life.
How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 1
Monday, November 09, 2009 - Monday
Forensic science shows are everywhere these days - people just can't get enough of them. It's fascinating to watch the unraveling of clues and evidence that lead to a conviction. No matter how we may perceive the situation, the facts don't lie. So in life, how can we know if information is factual? How do we know if we can trust our source? Well, today we'll learn that there is One Source we can always trust; and if we let it, it can change our lives!
How Can I Be Happy? Part 2
Friday, November 06, 2009 - Friday
According to a recent survey, hundreds of people defined happiness as good health, experiencing freedom, and having more provisions than you need. If these things define happiness, how can the woman with terminal cancer, the imprisoned man in North Korea, and the starving family in South Africa have an incomprehensible joy? Because our happiness isn't dependent on our experiences in this world. Dr. David Jeremiah will teach us that happiness is found in righteousness.
How Can I Be Happy? Part 1
Thursday, November 05, 2009 - Thursday
How do we find happiness? That seems to be the burning question today. People have an incredible thirst for happiness and will try almost anything to incorporate it into their lives. But shouldn't we recognize that if lasting happiness is found in material things and indulging ourselves in whatever we want, most of us should be deliriously happy beyond description. So if that's not the way to happiness, what is?
What Is My Self-Worth? Part 2
Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - Wednesday
"Researchers Discover 'On-Switch' for Cell Death Signaling Mechanism." Headlines show that scientists discover more information about the human body every day, adding to the complexity of our creation. And yet, with all the evidence of our unique design, people still doubt their value and worth - not recognizing God's plan in creating them. In this message, we'll discover that God's efforts didn't end with our creation - He has an ongoing plan for our lives.
What Is My Self-Worth? Part 1
Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that a "self-esteem" search on Amazon returns more than one-hundred-fifty thousand results? Self-worth is a hot topic these days. All across the world people are attending self-help seminars, reading books on self-esteem - all in an attempt to feel more significant, more important. How do we discover our true worth? Dr. David Jeremiah will help us to understand that our value, our significance, comes from the fact that God made us and knows our needs - our worth is in that truth alone.
Who Am I and Why Am I Here?
Monday, November 02, 2009 - Monday
"Positive Thinking" is a popular movement that claims to improve the quality of life. No one's going to say that optimism is a bad idea, but it can't provide solutions to some of the things we encounter in life that we simply don't understand. The experiences we live through can often lead us to question "who am I," and "why am I here?" In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand that the answers to life's questions can only be found in God's Word.
Stay Convinced Part 2
Friday, October 30, 2009 - Friday
It doesn't take very long for us to be convinced of something. We see a segment on the news with footage to back it up, and we store it away as truth! How would our lives change if we were just as easily persuaded that Christ is returning? Dr. Jeremiah concludes his series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, and reassures us that, no matter what might be happening in our world, our greatest comfort is knowing that Christ is coming-and He's coming soon!
Stay Convinced Part 1
Thursday, October 29, 2009 - Thursday
Do you find yourself getting discouraged by current events? News of poverty, immorality, death, and destruction can't help but make you wonder if we're living in the End Times. If that is the case, how would you live your life differently if you knew Christ was returning today? Whether it's today or not, we know He's coming soon. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to encourage us to endure the chaos of the world with the hope of Christ's return.
Stay Committed
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - Wednesday
Would you be surprised to know that the fear of commitment is an actual phobia? This isn't surprising considering divorce rates, uncertainty in real estate, and the volatility of the stock market. Too often, people will make an oath or a promise and just walk away. How many of us do that with our faith in Christ? Dr. Jeremiah urges us to remain dedicated to our faith, especially during difficult times.
Stay Consistent Part 2
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - Tuesday
Aren't you thankful for modern technology? We can get nearly everything done with the click of a button. Getting projects finished so quickly allows us to hurry through life, accomplishing more than we ever thought possible. Although being efficient is great, there's one thing that shouldn't be hurried - our walk with Christ. Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, and instructs us on the importance of staying consistent in our Christian walk.
Stay Consistent Part 1
Monday, October 26, 2009 - Monday
Would you say your life is the same today as it was two years ago? We're all living differently today due to the changes in our world. Perhaps our banking habits have changed after watching many banks close. Or maybe we're traveling less and saving more money. Whatever the case, we've made adjustments. Life can change our actions, but we can't let it affect our walk with Christ. And Dr. Jeremiah will remind us of this truth as he continues in his series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World.
Stay Confident Part 2
Friday, October 23, 2009 - Friday
What do you think is the greatest concern of people these days? More than likely, most people are concerned about the future - their job, their home, their investments. So, we read the latest magazine article or book. We scour the Internet for answers - all the time neglecting our greatest Source. Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that our best and ultimate source for answers is always the Word of God.
Stay Confident Part 1
Thursday, October 22, 2009 - Thursday
According to the FDIC, nearly one-hundred United States banks have closed in the last year. It's no wonder why many of us are lacking confidence these days. Who can we trust? Where can we place our confidence? Well, there's one thing we can always trust with certainty - the Bible. And as Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he will assure us that the key to remaining secure during these uncertain times is following God's instruction Book - His Word.
Stay Centered Part 2
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - Wednesday
Too often in life, we allow our trials to become our focus - distorting our outlook on life, our relationships with others, and our perception of God. But if we focus on God's commitment to us and His desire to see us succeed, we will begin to see our lives and our relationship with Christ more clearly. In this message Dr. David Jeremiah explains the importance of staying centered on Christ, especially during difficult times.
Stay Centered Part 1
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - Tuesday
How many of us are feeling overwhelmed these days? Aside from the stresses of daily life and disturbing news reports we hear every day, we probably know someone who has lost their job or home, and we're concerned about what tomorrow will bring. Where can we safely place our hope and our trust? In today's message from Dr. Jeremiah's new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he'll explain how staying focused on Christ provides safety and security in an uncertain world.
Stay Connected Part 2
Monday, October 19, 2009 - Monday
Do you tweet? You've been tagged. T-A-F-N. In the age of Twitter, Facebook, and texting, we're certainly a connected society - instantly connected. But are we looking for association in the right places? As Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he'll teach us that our best connection during these difficult days is the Church. Through the teaching of God's Word and fellowship with other believers, we can gain a true sense of certainty in an uncertain world.
Stay Connected Part 1
Friday, October 16, 2009 - Friday
We live in a connected world. Thanks to our blackberries and iPhones, our jobs are no longer nine-to-five, and we're alerted to breaking news within minutes. Then we wonder why we can't escape the chaos of the world. Maybe we're connected to the wrong source. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah explains that the best way for us to be encouraged and blessed is by remaining connected to the local church.
Stay Challenged Part 3
Thursday, October 15, 2009 - Thursday
Our world as we know it is changing. One day soon, people won't even remember what it was like before the recession of 2009. As the world changes around us, we're tempted to become altered by our circumstances. But we need to challenge ourselves and others to persevere in light of all that is happening in our world. In today's message, "Stay Challenged," from Dr. David Jeremiah's new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World , we'll learn that difficult times are often the greatest opportunities for personal growth.
Stay Challenged Part 2
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - Wednesday
The news today is not good. Whether your source is the Internet, radio, or television, the reports about the condition of our world are not optimistic. But does that mean we give up? No, when times are challenging, the people of God need to be a voice of confidence in a world that seems out of control-urging people to remain hopeful in spite of the events around them. In this message from his new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us to "Stay Challenged."
Stay Challenged Part 1
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 - Tuesday
Nothing ever changes. Has there ever been a time without war? A time without poverty? A time without disease? No-and things only seem to get worse with time. In light of the constant presence of suffering, it's easy to give up. As Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll be reminded that while the world falls apart around us, we must stay challenged to grow in the Word of God-diligently building on our foundation of faith.
Stay Constructive Part 2
Monday, October 12, 2009 - Monday
Weekly, if not daily, we're asked to "weigh in" on the big issues. Do you think the housing market will turn around? Is it safe to travel internationally? What does the future hold? And with these questions comes a choice-we can either build-up or we can tear down. As we continue in Dr. Jeremiah's new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll learn that now, more than ever, we need to be encouraging those around us and staying constructive in our relationships.
Stay Constructive Part 1
Friday, October 09, 2009 - Friday
We don't have to look very far today without seeing some sort of division-governments, companies, churches, and families are all full of dissension. Everyone has an opinion, and they want to be heard. If we're not careful when sharing our viewpoint with others, we do more tearing down than building up. In this message from Dr. Jeremiah's new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll be reminded that, during difficult times, we need to stay constructive in our relationships.
Stay Compassionate Part 2
Thursday, October 08, 2009 - Thursday
It's safe to say that, in some way, all of our lives have been affected by the chaos of this world-and most of us are doing our best just to get by. But we're so busy being distracted by our own problems that we don't see the people God has put right in front of us - people more in need than ourselves. In this message, author and teacher, Dr. David Jeremiah continues in his newest series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World and challenges us to stay compassionate, even in the midst of difficult times.
Stay Compassionate Part 1
Wednesday, October 07, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you know someone who is facing problems due to the economy? From unemployment and loss of homes to retirement funds crashing in value-the pain seems endless. How can we stay compassionate during tumultuous times? In a message from Dr. Jeremiah's newest book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll discover that now, more than ever, we need to see others through the eyes of Christ, and reach out to those hurting and in need.
Stay Calm Part 2
Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - Tuesday
"Hundreds Lost in Taiwan Typhoon." "Dozens Killed in Iraqi Bombing Spree." From earthquakes, floods, and pandemics to car bombs, military coups, and kidnapping-no one is beyond the reach of the headlines that have plagued our world over the last year. So, how do we remain calm in such a troubling world? Thankfully, the answer is found in God's Word. And we'll discover that today as we join Dr. David Jeremiah for his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World.
Stay Calm Part 1
Monday, October 05, 2009 - Monday
Are you feeling the effects of these troubling days? People are losing their jobs, their homes, and their life savings at alarming rates. We can't turn on the news without hearing about another freak accident or natural disaster. In the midst of all this chaos, we can't help but ask, what on earth should we do now? In this message from Dr. Jeremiah's newest book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll discover what the Bible says about staying calm, even in the midst of difficult times.

Slaying the Giant of Failure Part 2
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - Wednesday
Would you say you enjoy failing? Most of us would respond with a resounding, "NO!" to that question. And it's no wonder when our society is driven by success. Entire companies are dedicated to helping students achieve successful SAT scores, and companies reward employees for excellent performance. No one's saying that success is bad, but why do we fear failure? In this message, we'll learn that failing one time or many times doesn't diminish our usefulness to God.
Slaying the Giant of Failure Part 1
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, actually failed the sixth grade? Perhaps you remember that Abraham Lincoln actually lost twelve major elections before becoming the sixteenth president of the United States? A lot of people have failed in life, but those moments don't define their character. In much the same way, Dr. Jeremiah will remind us that our failures don't define who we are - our relationship with Christ does.
Slaying the Giant of Procrastination Part 2
Monday, September 28, 2009 - Monday
Do you feel it's acceptable for your doctor to notify you three months after a positive cancer test? Would it be okay if the fire crew took their time getting to your burning home? Of course not! Procrastination in these situations could mean the difference between life and death. So why do we find procrastination acceptable in our Christian walk? In this message, we discover that procrastination can keep us from opportunities to serve God and recognize our need for Him.
Slaying the Giant of Procrastination Part 1
Friday, September 25, 2009 - Friday
Would you say procrastination is a wide-spread issue in our society? In a recent study, it was estimated that ninety-five percent of our population is prone to procrastination. And among that group, twenty-percent of the people are chronic procrastinators. These statistics make it pretty clear that procrastination is a problem in our society, but it's also a problem in our churches. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah warns us of the danger we face when we fail to act and miss the opportunities God has set before us.
Slaying the Giant of Doubt Part 2
Thursday, September 24, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever doubted your investment strategy? In light of our current economic situation, we've all had our doubts. In many ways, uncertainty is good. It causes us to do our homework and make sure we know where our money is going. But doubt has a negative side as well. It can lead us to unbelief and an unwillingness to listen to the truth, which is also true in our relationship with God. Uncertainty helps us to ask sincere questions that dispel our doubts and build our faith.
Slaying the Giant of Doubt Part 1
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever experience doubt? Perhaps you question the relationships in your life. Should you marry the person you're dating? Can you really trust that your friends are sincere? Well, if you've ever had these moments, you're certainly not alone. Some of history's greatest Christians had moments of doubt. And at times uncertainty can be good - keeping us from accepting truth on a surface level. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand how to use doubt to discover deeper truth.
Slaying the Giant of Resentment Part 2
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - Tuesday
Does it surprise you that many women experience resentment when they hear the phrase, "I'm pregnant!"? If more people knew that about ten percent of couples aren't able to conceive a child, then we'd understand why that phrase can be so hurtful. Often times people take their very real hurts and dwell on them until they become deep-seated resentment. But God has a better plan for us than to allow resentment to consume us. Listen as Dr. Jeremiah shows us how to work through bitterness and live a healthy life free of resentment.
Slaying the Giant of Resentment Part 1
Monday, September 21, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever been upset with someone at work? Perhaps a promotion you had been working for was given to that person, and you know they don't really deserve the reward. Very soon your anger over the situation can turn into resentment that grows and blossoms into something you never imagined - like a weed in your garden that flourishes next to your flowers. How do we as Christians eliminate the resentment that threatens to consume us? In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah outlines strategies for living resentment free.
Slaying the Giant of Anger Part 2
Friday, September 18, 2009 - Friday
Do you remember the Columbine and Virginia Tech Massacres? For most of us, we immediately see the news coverage in our minds - the rising death toll, the terrified students, the concerned parents, the angry perpetrators. Sadly, these emotionally troubled and depressed students took the lives of their peers and instructors - because they didn't know how to deal with the anger that lived inside them. So, how do we overcome anger in our lives?
Slaying the Giant of Anger Part 1
Thursday, September 17, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that road rage violence claims the lives of more than fifteen-hundred people each year? This doesn't include drunk-driving, car-jackings, or hit-and-runs. Road rage deaths are caused by an angry motorist intentionally killing another person in response to a traffic altercation. This statistic obviously proves that many people are full of anger. In this message, we'll learn how to keep our anger from becoming sinful and destructive.
Slaying the Giant of Temptation Part 2
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - Wednesday
What would you say is the greatest temptation facing Christians today? Many people would say the addiction to pornography is among the greatest threats. With more than four million pornographic websites, it's no wonder that people are falling victim daily, with lives and families being destroyed. But in this message, Dr. Jeremiah helps us understand that temptation is the common enemy of every person, and it always has been - but God has provided a way of escape.
Slaying the Giant of Temptation Part 1
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - Tuesday
Why is it so difficult to remain strong when we are tempted? We watch an inappropriate movie because a co-worker recommended it. We involve ourselves in gossiping situations which we know are not edifying or appropriate. And what happens? We find it hard to be strong because we never should have put ourselves in the situation, and find we're too weak to resist in our own strength. Dr. David Jeremiah teaches us the secret to escaping those moments of weakness as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Temptation."
Slaying the Giant of Guilt Part 2
Monday, September 14, 2009 - Monday
What is the most important lesson parents teach their children? No one would argue if you said a key component of parenting is helping your children realize they have made a mistake and need to take responsibility for their actions. It's important in life, but it's also an important aspect in our walk with God. Accepting responsibility for our sin is the first step and then we can ask for forgiveness. In this message, we'll discover that God wants to free us from the burden of guilt in our lives.
Slaying the Giant of Guilt Part 1
Friday, September 11, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever said something that you wished you could take back? We all have. And quite honestly, we'd like to forget it. So, we place the conversation somewhere in the back of our mind until it begins to resurface - only this time it's attached to guilt. How do we get rid of the tormenting memory that consumes our thoughts? In this message, we'll discover that God has given us directives on how we can free our lives of guilt.
Slaying the Giant of Worry Part 2
Thursday, September 10, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that nearly one-third of the world's population will suffer from an anxiety attack at some point during their lifetime? That's probably because the greatest trigger for an anxiety attack is extreme worry. And it's no wonder that people are so afflicted with worry. Our news reports are full of shocking headlines - stories that hit a little too close to home. That's why Dr. David Jeremiah wants to remind us that God is in control of our lives. And if we truly believe that, we have no need to worry.
Slaying the Giant of Worry Part 1
Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - Wednesday
Why is it that we often find ourselves worrying about something during the course of the day? We worry about our finances and our children. We worry about terrorism and war. Now some of us may disagree, saying that we're just concerned; but that's what Christians say to cover up the fact that they're doing something they shouldn't be. In this message, we'll find out that being too future-focused doesn't work because we don't know the future, and the future isn't ours to know.
Slaying the Giant of Loneliness Part 2
Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever noticed how many services are available for people looking to find "that special someone"? From our newspapers, to the bar and club scene, to Internet companies, the dating industry is huge and continues to grow. Because loneliness creates a void of emptiness, people attempt to compensate by filling their lives with replacements for true relationships - particularly substitutes for a relationship with God. That's why we have to learn how to look beyond our circumstances and fill our emptiness with Christ. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah shows us how.
Slaying the Giant of Loneliness Part 1
Monday, September 07, 2009 - Monday
We take pride in the fact that our modern society is filled with independent individuals. Being self-contained and self-sufficient is encouraged today - even idealized. And many people want nothing more than to climb the executive ladder - until they reach the end of their lives and realize they're all alone. They have no one to share in their success, and they would trade it all for someone to love. In today's message, we learn how to avoid and overcome the effects and pain of loneliness.
Slaying the Giant of Discouragement Part 2
Friday, September 04, 2009 - Friday
A failing marriage. Loss of a job. The serious illness of someone you love. All these situations can lead to discouragement. And being discouraged when we're facing trials is normal. The problem comes when we allow this giant of discouragement to take over our lives. We lose our nerve and just want to give up, which is exactly what the enemy wants - to keep us from the work God is doing in and through us. That's why Dr. Jeremiah is eager to show us how to regain our perspective and courage as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Discouragement."
Slaying the Giant of Discouragement Part 1
Thursday, September 03, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever suffered from discouragement? Well, you're certainly not alone. In fact, you join the ranks of people like Job, David, and Nehemiah. These men of the Bible faced frustration, failure, and fatigue that ultimately lead to discouragement. But they weren't going to let that giant dictate their lives. Instead, they determined to look at life from God's perspective to regain their courage. As he continues his "Slaying the Giants" series, Dr. Jeremiah helps us understand how to overcome the giant of discouragement.
Slaying the Giant of Fear Part 2
Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - Wednesday
What would you say is your greatest fear? We're all afraid of something, and our fears are natural reactions to things that might cause us harm - or even death. We shy away from snakes because they could be poisonous. We avoid driving over bridges because they could collapse. So, ultimately, many of our fears come down to our fear of death. And this fear can disrupt the plans God has for our lives. In this message we discover how we can live a life of liberty in Christ - free from the bondage of fear.
Slaying the Giant of Fear Part 1
Tuesday, September 01, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that approximately 10% of the world's population has been diagnosed with a phobia at some point in their lives? This persistent, irrational fear is debilitating. But these are obviously extreme cases. Most people don't deal with fear on this level, but it does have a way of forcing its way into our lives. And if we're not careful, fear can take over and dominate our lives in a way God never intended. That's why Dr. Jeremiah is excited to teach us how to overcome our fear with faith in Christ, as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Fear."
Coming At Last To Rome Part 2
Monday, August 31, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever arrived at work without the memory of actually driving there? It's probably because many of us operate on autopilot. We do the ordinary things, those things that have to be done, and think they have little or no spiritual purpose. But in reality, as Christians our lives are a series of trips and destinations planned by God. Will we make the decision to be an active participant in the journey? In his message, "Coming at Last to Rome," Dr. Jeremiah shows us that Paul viewed every trip in his life as an opportunity to share Christ.
Coming At Last To Rome Part 1
Friday, August 28, 2009 - Friday
How many of us have planned a trip with great care and detail only to be disappointed by reality? Our plans don't take into consideration all that can go wrong, like canceled flights, hotels under construction, unseasonable weather, and bad restaurant service. But if we're traveling with the understanding that God is in control, we shouldn't be disappointed. In this message, we'll discover that, just like the apostle Paul, every experience is a God-given opportunity to share the love of Christ with the people we meet.
The Perfect Storm Part 2
Thursday, August 27, 2009 - Thursday
As the young mother waited in the oncologist's office, she began to question her salvation. If she was truly saved, why was she about to hear that the treatment wasn't working - that she would be leaving her two young daughters without a mother? Christians aren't supposed to suffer these types of storms in their lives! But she knew this wasn't true, just as all of us who know God's Word understand that we'll encounter trials in our lives. In this message, we'll learn that even the apostle Paul faced storms in his life.
The Perfect Storm Part 1
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - Wednesday
On May 28th, 2008 an EF 5 tornado tore through the small town of Parkersburg, Iowa. With winds up to two-hundred miles per hour and a twister three-quarters of a mile wide, a young mother and her child were trying to make it home. Knowing it was too late, the mother pulled off the road and headed for a ditch, putting her body over her child for protection. Amazingly, they walked away with only small scrapes. In this message, we'll learn that sometimes God doesn't remove us from the storm, but He does protect us.
Almost Persuaded Part 2
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - Tuesday
It's not very often that you get the opportunity to share God's truth with a captive audience of lost souls. Someone like Billy Graham would understand the feeling. During his lifetime, he ministered to people completely blind to God's truth. Yet, every time he stepped on stage, he spoke with boldness - declaring the name of Jesus Christ. In his message, "Almost Persuaded," Dr. Jeremiah suggests that, perhaps Paul felt the same way as he prepared to meet with King Agrippa - completely committed to sharing the Truth.
Almost Persuaded Part 1
Monday, August 24, 2009 - Monday
How many times have you thought you were finished with a project only to discover there was a portion you hadn't anticipated? It's irritating that we have to go back and revisit a project we thought we had completed. Sometimes God asks us to revisit a task. Just when we think we're finished, He starts another chapter. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah explains how Paul must have felt this same way while trying to free himself from the Roman legal system.
Falsely Accused Part 2
Friday, August 21, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever been treated unfairly by a friend, a family member, or even your church? Well, you're not alone. Most of us have experienced unfair treatment at some point in our lives. The wounds have the potential to leave a lasting negative impression on our lives. Knowing that we live in an unjust and unfair world, how should we respond when we're wrongly treated? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah gives us an outline on how we should react to unfair treatment.
Falsely Accused Part 1
Thursday, August 20, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that about ten-thousand people in the United States may be wrongfully convicted of a serious crime this year? According to a recent study, the leading cause of this gross injustice is misidentification by eyewitnesses. This is proven in the case of a man serving twenty-five years for a crime he never committed - all because of the account of one witness. It must be heartbreaking to be wrongly accused in this way. In his message, "Falsely Accused," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that God is at work - even in an unfair world.
A More Convenient Time Part 2
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - Wednesday
We can almost all agree that there is nothing worse than a missed opportunity. Maybe it was the business deal you turned down that ended up flourishing. Or it could have been the vacation that you canceled. What about missing a God-given opportunity? Maybe you canceled plans with your friend who needed to hear about Jesus. Or perhaps God was calling you to accept His eternal gift, and you refused. In his message, "A More Convenient Time," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that we never want to miss our God-given opportunities.
A More Convenient Time Part 1
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - Tuesday
If you've ever said, "Oh, I'll take care of that tomorrow," you're not alone. We wait to do the things that seem complicated because we think it will be easier tomorrow. But the reality is that it's not easier tomorrow. In fact, it usually gets more difficult. Many people do this with God. They learn about Jesus and His ability to save them from their sin, but they don't take the next step. In his message, "A More Convenient Time," Dr. Jeremiah gives an example of someone who waited too long to make a decision.
God's Providential Protection
Monday, August 17, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever slept through your alarm? You rush around trying to get ready quickly while running into every possible road block. Finally, you're on the road, coffee in hand, when you realize there's been a major accident - yet another holdup. But did you ever stop to think that maybe you were running late for a reason? Maybe God was protecting you from the serious accident just up ahead. In this message, we learn that even in the smallest details, our protection can be attributed to God's faithfulness.
He Is With Us In the Night
Friday, August 14, 2009 - Friday
How many times have you found yourself in a situation that seemed hopeless? Maybe it was the diagnosis of a serious illness. Or perhaps you had to look on while your child destroyed his life. Did you ever think that the trial was God's purpose for your life? But why would a loving God want us to endure such pain? In his message, "He Is With Us In the Night," Dr. Jeremiah uses Paul as an example of someone who endured destructive circumstances, yet continued to recognize God's presence and depend on His promises.
How to Give Your Testimony Part 2
Thursday, August 13, 2009 - Thursday
People can argue that God isn't real or that Jesus isn't really God, but they can't deny the amazing things God has done in our lives. And there are some powerful testimonies out there. God has saved people from some pretty scary backgrounds. But sometimes that makes us feel like our story isn't worth sharing. That's when we have to remember that we have been transformed. And that's always worth sharing.
How to Give Your Testimony Part 1
Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever think about who you were before you met Christ? If you're truly walking with the Lord and allowing Him to have His way in your life, you probably don't even recognize the person you were before Christ. It's important to remember what the Lord has done, but it's even more important to tell other people about the life-changing truth of Jesus Christ! In this message, Dr. Jeremiah is going to show us that the apostle Paul's testimony is the perfect template for how we can share our story!
Courage Under Fire Part 2
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - Tuesday
It's hard to go a day without hearing about the wars around our world. Shocking headlines flood the news each day of soldiers putting themselves in harms way. And some of the soldiers even find themselves imprisoned by the enemy. How do they find the courage to continue day after day? Well, the fear these soldiers face is much like the adversity the apostle Paul encountered. In his message, "Courage Under Fire," Dr. Jeremiah explains how Paul was consistent in sharing the Word of God, even during extreme adversity.
Courage Under Fire Part 1
Monday, August 10, 2009 - Monday
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the stresses and trials of life? Sometimes it seems like adversity is around every corner, and it causes us to live in fear. We live in fear of failure. We live in fear of regret. We live in fear of letting God down. So how do we find the God-given courage we need to face these fears? Dr. Jeremiah uses the apostle Paul as an illustration of someone who faced fear with a Spiritual courage that defines bravery.
Three Keys to Effective Ministry Part 2
Friday, August 07, 2009 - Friday
There are a lot of successful people in our world. But have you ever considered that many of them got there the wrong way? They had to lie, cheat, and use people to achieve their illustrious status. They're admired because they're rich and powerful. Sadly, we've forgotten that worldly success isn't the same as godly success. So what does the Bible teach us? How do we know if our ministry is valuable?
Three Keys to Effective Ministry Part 1
Thursday, August 06, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever had a great plan or idea? We all have, but why do so many of them fail? Maybe we don't have a plan to apply our ideas or the plan isn't focused. Sadly, this even happens in ministry. We have great ideas for sharing God's Word with others, but we don't follow through, or we don't have a plan. So how can we make it happen?
What's Up With Missions? Part 2
Wednesday, August 05, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever thought of yourself as a missionary? Most of us would answer a big, "No," to that question. We've never left our family and all the comforts of home to share the Gospel in another country. We've never endured danger while transporting Bibles across a forbidden border. But if you listened when God moved you to share His love with an elderly neighbor or the homeless man outside the store, you are a missionary.
What's Up With Missions? Part 1
Tuesday, August 04, 2009 - Tuesday
What do you think when you hear the names Jim Elliot and Corrie ten Boom? They're both known for different accomplishments, but they share one thing in common - a heart for missions. From remote villages in Ecuador to Nazi concentration camps, they committed their lives to sharing the Gospel - no matter the cost. And God is still calling us to do this today.
The Life God Blesses Part 2
Monday, August 03, 2009 - Monday
Isn't it safe to say that our society is content with mediocrity? We only want to do enough to get by. Regardless of the cause, mediocrity is an epidemic - and we even see it in the Christian community. We show up, give our money, and maybe even volunteer from time to time. But doesn't God want more from us? Of course He does! Using the example of Peter's life, Dr. Jeremiah teaches us how to live a Spirit-filled life - the kind God loves to honor and bless.
The Life God Blesses Part 1
Friday, July 31, 2009 - Friday
As a parent, is there anything you wouldn't do for your child? Even if they make poor choices, parents are there to help them. However, when a child makes good choices, we often go above and beyond to bless them in a special way - rewarding them for doing the right thing. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah shows us that, in the same way, God's blessings come to us like gifts to undeserving children. But we have the choice to live a life that goes beyond initial blessings - the kind of life God loves to bless!
The Church As It Was Meant to Be Part 2
Thursday, July 30, 2009 - Thursday
Home is where the heart is, but our home is not defined by the location of a wooden structure. Home is where we're surrounded by our family and friends, and regardless of geographic location or other amenities, it's the place we want to be. In the same way, our churches aren't about the buildings - they're about the people. In his message, "The Church As It Was Meant to Be," Pastor Jeremiah teaches us that great people make great churches - the churches God intended for us to have!
The Church As It Was Meant to Be Part 1
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - Wednesday
How many of us comment on the fact that things aren't made the way they used to be? From kitchen appliances, to furniture and cars, the quality is not the same. Unfortunately, we have to realize that, in many cases, change is inevitable. But some things are better left alone! And Church is an excellent example. Dr. Jeremiah explains how the early Church - unencumbered by 2,000 years of tradition, ritual, and divisions - is the ideal picture of what Christ desired His Body to be.
The Pray-lude to Power Part 2
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - Tuesday
What would you say is the sign of a successful church? Is it the church that records the most new baptisms, most new members, and significant donations to missions? Or is it the church that has amazing music with messages that make everyone feel good? A successful church might have some or all of these characteristics, but that's not how God defines achievement. In his message, "The Pray-lude to Power," Pastor Jeremiah guides us to the example of a thriving, healthy church - and it's all found in God's Word!
The Pray-lude to Power Part 1
Monday, July 27, 2009 - Monday
Would you agree with the statement, "If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing well"? Most of us like to do things well and even look forward to receiving praise for a job well done. So, as Christians, how are we doing when it comes to church? We're doing it, but are we doing it well? Hundreds of books exist on the topic, but how do we know if we're doing it right? Dr. Jeremiah directs us to God's Word for all our answers surrounding the Church. It is, and always will be, our ultimate authority.
Worshiping God by Name Part 1
Friday, July 24, 2009 - Friday
Nicknames are a part of almost every family. We rename our loved ones to shorten a long name or highlight a character trait that we find endearing. Regardless of the motivation, it's done in love. Similarly, the people of the Old Testament often gave God a special name to symbolize the work He had done in their lives. Dr. Jeremiah unfolds the significance of these names and how we can use them to celebrate God in his message, "Worshipping in the Name of God."
Intersections of Prayer Part 2
Thursday, July 23, 2009 - Thursday
Why is learning to play an instrument so hard? Whether it's the piano, cello, or trombone, it demands practice to develop your skill. And once you learn how to play, you must continue to practice in order to maintain the talents you worked so diligently to acquire. But all your efforts are worth it when you're able to create beautiful music. In his message, "Intersections of Prayer," Pastor Jeremiah suggests that growth in our prayer lives requires the same discipline that's required to develop any skill.
Intersections of Prayer Part 1
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 - Wednesday
Can you remember learning to ride a bike? What a memorable experience! Starting with training wheels gave us needed balance. Eventually, we decided that the training wheels must go. That first ride was a bit shaky, and we may have even needed some help getting started, but in time we were finally on our own. In this message, we'll discover that learning to pray is a similar process. At first we need a little guidance and practice. But soon enough we're on our own - communicating with our Heavenly Father.
The Doxology of Prayer
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - Tuesday
Are you aware that all stories, books or movies, have a plot? In the beginning, the characters and setting are established. Soon we have some sort of conflict that needs resolution, and that problem leads to the climax. Imagine the story ending at the critical point in the conflict. We would be so frustrated because a story is nothing without the resolution. In his message, "The Doxology of Prayer," Dr. Jeremiah discusses how even prayers need an ending - a button to conclude our conversation with God.
Prayer and Protection Part 2
Monday, July 20, 2009 - Monday
If you are known to research a product for months before buying it, you're not alone. In fact, many of us need proof before we can buy into something. Thankfully, we can hold to the same standard in our Christian walk. We know we can call on God to deliver us in our time of need because He's already proven Himself. He demonstrated His faithfulness with David, Noah, Joseph, Paul, and the list goes on. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah explains that God is a God who delivers. He knows how to do it if we'll just ask!
Prayer and Protection Part 2
Friday, July 17, 2009 - Friday
Do you think it's dangerous to walk alone down a dark street at night? How about driving at perilous speeds on a motorcycle without wearing a helmet? Of course these are risky situations, but they're also preventable. But there are many hazards that await us despite our attempts to avoid them. In fact, it's safe to say that danger envelops us like land mines along our path. In this message, Pastor Jeremiah instructs us on how to pray a prayer of protection for each day.
Prayer and Protection Part 1
Thursday, July 16, 2009 - Thursday
Do you remember the hymn, "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing"? We can all relate to the profound line that declares, "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love." Yes, in our flesh we are likely to stray from God's ways. But most of don't set out to lose our way. So how do we avoid the snares that draw us away from the God we love? In his message "Prayer and Protection: Part I" Pastor Jeremiah points out our susceptibility to temptation and our need to ask God to protect our hearts and our minds.
Prayer and Protection Part 1
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever feel like temptations are surrounding you? Doughnuts at work, fast food on every corner, and brownies at Bible study. But food temptations are probably the least of our worries. Temptations concerning money, pride, and idolatry are waiting to destroy us. And we think we can avoid these pitfalls on our own! In this message, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that it's okay to admit to God that we're weak and need His strength to protect us. In fact, it's these prayers that will shelter us from temptation.
Prayer and Personal Relationships Part 2
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - Tuesday
The story of Joseph is one of the greatest illustrations of forgiveness in the Bible. If anyone had the right to be bitter, it was Joseph. Thanks to the jealousy of his brothers, Joseph spent his life as a servant in Egypt. Yet, when his brothers came to him in need, Joseph embraced them with unconditional love - no hard feelings, no resentment. Now that's forgiveness. In his message, "Prayer and Personal Relationships," Dr. Jeremiah explains God's desire for us to forgive others, just as He, in Christ, forgave us.
Prayer and Personal Relationships Part 1
Monday, July 13, 2009 - Monday
How would you define "forgiveness"? It's pretty safe to say that the world's description of forgiveness is not the same as God's. The world tells us it's okay to harbor resentment toward a coworker who is known to gossip and might encourage us to be bitter toward an unfaithful spouse. At first, it feels right - they deserve our hatred. But conflict among His children was never in God's plan. In this message, we discover what Jesus teaches us about prayer and forgiveness.
The Prayer for Provision Part 2
Friday, July 10, 2009 - Friday
Has there ever been a time when future uncertainties caused you to panic? We live in a very forward-thinking, "I want it now" society. In fact, if we look six months into the future and think that we might have a need - we panic. We want to know, right now, exactly how that need will be met. But is that how God wants us to react? In his message "The Prayer for Provision" from his current series Prayer - The Great Adventure, Dr. Jeremiah helps us to understand what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread".
The Prayer for Provision Part 1
Thursday, July 09, 2009 - Thursday
Do we really understand the difference between the words, "want" and "need"? Our society tends to confuse the two terms, and this misunderstanding can even find its way into our spiritual lives. We begin to offer self-centered prayers about our unhappiness, our unmet wants, and our need for a vacation. It can be surprising to discover what the Bible really teaches on the subject. Dr. Jeremiah helps us to understand the definition of need so that we can recognize God's provisions in our lives.
Praying Our Priorities Part 2
Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - Wednesday
Does it surprise you that most Christians go through transitions in their prayer life? As new believers, we're excited at the opportunity to talk with God. But if we aren't careful, our prayer time can become an obligation. Then, before we know it, we're faced with a trial and we need to pray and seek answers from our Heavenly Father. In his message, "Praying Our Priorities," Pastor Jeremiah teaches us that prayer is essential in attaining God's best for our lives and aligning His priorities with our own.
Praying Our Priorities Part 1
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever felt like there's too many things on your "to do" list? Do feel like there's never enough time? We've all felt this way, and it means we have to prioritize our list based on importance. Many times it's not a choice between good and bad - it's usually a choice between good and better. So how do we determine what our priorities should be? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah suggests that we have to ask God to make His priorities our priorities, because His ways far surpass our own!
Hallowed Be Thy Name Part 2
Monday, July 06, 2009 - Monday
As children go through school, they often ask the question, "When will we ever use this information?" Although some concepts appear to have no purpose for future use, there are skills we learn in school that are applicable to everyday life, and they're essential to our success! In this message, Pastor Jeremiah highlights a specific phrase from the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be Thy name." This expression demonstrates that we are to worship God because, someday, that will be our eternal occupation.
Hallowed Be Thy Name Part 1
Friday, July 03, 2009 - Friday
Why do you think names bear such significant meaning? Parents will spend extensive time choosing the perfect name for their child, but isn't the person behind the name much more significant? Of course the character is more important. And that is essential when we honor God with our prayers. In his message, "Hallowed Be Thy Name," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that when we honor the name of the Lord in our prayers, it's not really about the name. Instead, we're honoring the One the name represents.
The Relationship of Prayer Part 2
Thursday, July 02, 2009 - Thursday
Would it surprise you to know that seventy percent of U.S. prison inmates come from fatherless homes? It's sad, but the fact is that many children today are growing up without a dad. Thankfully, God has made it possible for us to be adopted into His family through His Son Jesus Christ. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah is excited to share his message titled, "The Relationship of Prayer." This message reminds us that we can have a deep and meaningful prayer life, and it begins with, "Our Father."
The Relationship of Prayer Part 1
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - Wednesday
Depending upon our relationship with our dad, it may be difficult to understand the connection a father can share with his child. Whether it's time spent together making something in the garage or weekend fishing trips to the lake, the greatest part about a dedicated father is that he is always there to listen. And that is especially true with our Father in Heaven. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah emphasizes the personal connection we share with God in his message, "The Relationship of Prayer."
Prayer, Pagans, and Pretenders
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - Tuesday
Whether it's a family member or a best friend, we all need someone to confide in. These people we hold so dear, will they always be there? Can they uphold us through every trial? No! But God knows us, loves us, and He wants us to talk with Him. He's always there to listen.
Prayer, Pagans, and Pretenders
Monday, June 29, 2009 - Monday
While growing up and going to school, most of us wanted to do well. So nothing was more frustrating than the teacher who gave us an assignment without explaining how to do it. As Christians, God commands us to pray, and He also tells us how to do it!
The Real Holy War
Friday, June 26, 2009 - Friday
Aside from the devil, we wrestle with the world and our flesh. Satan attacks us individually, the flesh assaults us through our inward desires, and the world defiles through influences that are around us.
The Real Holy War
Thursday, June 25, 2009 - Thursday
A quarterback has to execute a play while evaluating the presence of defenders, all within a matter of seconds. If he focuses on one defender for too long, he'll get hit! Many of us focus on Satan and forget that our flesh is our most precarious enemy.
Praying Always with Prayer
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - Wednesday
If we were honest, we would admit that prayer is a constant challenge in our lives. How do we find the time to do it well? We make it a lifestyle that leads to victory rather than an activity on our "to do" list!
Praying Always with Prayer
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - Tuesday
Fuel is an important aspect of life. We know that our physical bodies need healthy food and plenty of rest. But how do we rejuvenate our spiritual bodies? Prayer! It's the only thing to fuel us through the spiritual battle of life.
The Sword of the Spirit
Monday, June 22, 2009 - Monday
During World War II, the men of Easy Company went to Bastogne with minimal ammunition. They had to be very strategic and skilled to use it wisely. As Christians, our ammunition is God's Word. Just having it isn't enough. We have to know how to use it!
Father-On-Earth As It Is In Heaven
Friday, June 19, 2009 - Friday
According to a 2005 poll of favorite TV dads, Cliff Huxtable, Sheriff Andy Taylor, and Charles Ingalls are the top three fathers of all time. It's no wonder that dads often feel intimidated. How do you become a good dad? By observing God - the ultimate Father!
Father-On-Earth As It Is In Heaven
Thursday, June 18, 2009 - Thursday
We've all seen instances of inadequate fathers. Even the Bible gives us plenty of examples. So what does it mean to be an excellent dad? Well, God's Word gives us an obvious example for those of us who are willing to dig deep enough.
The Sword of the Spirit
Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - Wednesday
Defense is the key to winning games, but it's impossible to win games exclusively through defense. A team has to score points to win. In our spiritual battle, God has given us several ways to guard ourselves. But we also need a weapon - God's Word!
The Helmet of Salvation
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - Tuesday
The human brain is an amazing organ. It makes up only a small percentage of our entire body, but it is responsible for most of our bodily functions. As Christians, our minds are constantly in danger. Our only hope is to protect our minds with the wisdom of Christ!
The Helmet of Salvation
Monday, June 15, 2009 - Monday
Whether we're biking, skating, or spelunking, a helmet is essential. But guarding our head physically is not nearly as important as protecting it spiritually. One of Satan's greatest tactics is to penetrate our mind. Only with the helmet of salvation can we stand against him.
The Shield of Faith
Friday, June 12, 2009 - Friday
Many of us remember the story of King Ahab. He went to battle without his shield and was left vulnerable to attack. Much like King Ahab, we are in a battle, and our enemy can see all the gaps in our armor. We must use the shield of faith to protect us!
The Shield of Faith
Thursday, June 11, 2009 - Thursday
Some people place their faith in friends and family, while others find hope in their occupations. But can that faith deliver us in times of despair? Only faith in Jesus Christ is sufficient to uphold us through life's trials!
The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - Wednesday
If given the chance, most children would remain barefoot all day long. Yet, as parents, we know our children need shoes to protect their feet. As Christians, we need shoes as well - the shoes of the Gospel of peace.
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - Tuesday
Our lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and skin are components that are vital to the proper functioning of our bodies. But all systems depend upon the heart. Although it is critical to protect our heart physically, we must also protect it spiritually.
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Monday, June 08, 2009 - Monday
Many activities and professions require protective gear. Without this equipment, people would be susceptible to injury. As Christians, wearing the breastplate of righteousness reflects our commitment to Christ. Without it, we are vulnerable to spiritual attacks.
The Girdle of Truth
Friday, June 05, 2009 - Friday
Peanut butter and jelly. Ketchup and mustard. Adam and Eve. Certain things in life just go together. In fact, each piece depends upon the other to be complete. As Christians, it's sobering to recognize that the Word of God is deeply related to truth, which is the reality of life.
The Girdle of Truth
Thursday, June 04, 2009 - Thursday
Our society wants truth to be subjective - to conform to the popular thought of the moment. But there is truth that is unchanging - it comes from God's Word! It's by having a heart and mind centered on His truth that we are prepared for our daily battle.
Identifying the Enemy
Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - Wednesday
Being tenacious and strong are valuable attributes, but they can also get us into a lot of trouble. We get the idea that there is something we can do to withstand the enemy. Our only hope is to put on the armor of Christ. He will fight our battles for us.
Identifying the Enemy
Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - Tuesday
Almost every country in the world has some form of national intelligence organization. Why do these countries need intelligence? They need to be informed, primarily about their enemies. Information equals strength and safety.
Are We Really in a War?
Monday, June 01, 2009 - Monday
Avoidance is a popular theme. We even do it with our Christian walk by actively ignoring the reality of Satan. Whether it's evasion or indifference, we haven't taken the time to equip ourselves against the evil powers of this world.

What to Do When Your Tongue Isn't Tied Part 2
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - Wednesday
A knife can be used in many ways. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it can save a life. But it could cause tremendous destruction in the wrong hands. Our tongue could be placed in much the same category. It can be used to praise God and encourage others. However, it is often used in a hurtful, irreparable way.
What to Do When Your Tongue Isn't Tied
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - Tuesday
Imagine eating salad. You pick up the dressing, but as you begin pouring, a huge amount comes running out and destroys the meal. Our speech can be like the dressing. We say more than we should, or we say the wrong thing. Once it is said, we can apologize, but we can never completely repair the situation.
What to Do When Faith Doesn't Work Part 2
Monday, May 11, 2009 - Monday
We are a society that thrives on mediocrity. Tell us what to do, and we'll do it - but not any more. Gone are the days when students look forward to college for all that they will learn. Now it is just a means to an end. As mediocre Christians, it is enough that we are saved by faith alone.
The Influence of a Godly Woman
Friday, May 08, 2009 - Friday
Women shudder when someone refers to Proverbs 31. No one can measure up to the standards of that amazing woman. Yet we realize that the women in our lives are doing all that and so much more. In fact, it's impossible to calculate the influence Godly women have on society, in churches, and in homes.

What To Do When Wrong Seems Right
Thursday, April 30, 2009 - Thursday
We inherit many things from our families. Whatever it may be, we have it because we're connected to those people. In much the same manner, we face temptation simply because we belong to God. But if we keep our eyes on Christ, we don't have to be victims.
What To Do When Wrong Seems Right
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - Wednesday
Whether it's a bag of cookies or a negative conversation, we are all tempted. In fact, the old gag line says, "I can resist anything but temptation." It's true! Temptations cannot always be resisted, but they can be overcome if we understand the source.
What To Do When the Heat's Turned Up
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - Tuesday
Our society thrives on instant gratification. We want to be patient and mature in Christ, but we certainly don't want to experience a trial to obtain patience. But it is through trials that God is able to prepare us for the journey ahead.
What To Do When the Heat's Turned Up
Monday, April 27, 2009 - Monday
You're in your car, driving home from work, when you're struck by another car. For weeks you replay the event, but you realize it was out of your control. Many things in life are beyond our power.
The Last Word from Daniel
Friday, April 24, 2009 - Friday
As Christians, we spend a lot of time studying prophecy. But why does God want us to have this information? God gave it to us to remind us to get busy and go about His appointed tasks for the kingdom. We have a responsibility to share Christ with the lost!
The Last Word from Daniel
Thursday, April 23, 2009 - Thursday
It is no secret that we are experiencing difficult times. But Daniel has an important lesson for us - God is in control. Nothing happens by accident before God. If Daniel could believe this with confidence through all his trials, we can apply it to our lives today!
Resurrection and Reward
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - Wednesday
Our society is so engrossed in celebrities. But the people we call "stars" in our culture are famous for a moment, then forgotten. Greatness in God's eyes is attributed to those who humbly point others to Jesus. We have a God in heaven who never forgets what we do!
Resurrection and Reward
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 - Tuesday
We've all been there - totally engrossed in a book. We can't tear ourselves away. We have to know how it ends! Reading the Book of Daniel is like that.
The Battle of Armageddon
Monday, April 20, 2009 - Monday
It seems as though much of our lives is preparation. God is also committed to preparation. The newspaper reveals God's preparation for the End Times. He is getting everything in order. He is getting everything set, so at the right moment it can all happen!
The Battle of Armageddon
Friday, April 17, 2009 - Friday
The young contestants of beauty pageants often make speeches about spreading world peace. It is interesting as you look back through history and realize there has never been a subject more prominent. Wars will continue to build - leading up to the Battle of Armageddon.
The Message the Demons Fought Over
Thursday, April 16, 2009 - Thursday
Why do we study history? There is a greater reason than academic development: History reveals an accurate fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. If God has been shown accurate in the past prophecies, we can trust he will be precise in the future.
The Message the Demons Fought Over
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 - Wednesday
Satan has many tactics when it comes to distracting God's people. In fact, he will use his best schemes to keep God's encouraging truth from reaching us. Thankfully, God's Word will always prevail.
Daniel and the Demons
Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - Tuesday
We often think of prayer as being directed to a person, but it can also act as a weapon against someone. Daniel recognized this and his consistent prayer was used as a weapon for the Angel of God to defeat the Prince of Persia.
Daniel and the Demons
Monday, April 13, 2009 - Monday
It's easy to grow discouraged when we look at our world today. Daniel felt this way as he watched his people return to the ways that caused them to fall into captivity in the first place - so he prayed.
The Resurrection People
Friday, April 10, 2009 - Friday
As a society, we fear death. For many it is certainly apprehension of the unknown. However, for those of us who know Christ, the resurrection gives us hope. When Jesus came out of the grave that day, He not only conquered death, He removed the term from our vocabulary!
The Resurrection People
Thursday, April 09, 2009 - Thursday
Imagine putting yourself in the shoes of those present during the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord! It would help us to better understand the magnitude of what happened.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part III
Wednesday, April 08, 2009 - Wednesday
Sometimes when events occur in our lives, we cannot see the purpose in them. But God is at work, even when we can't understand what He is doing. Five different times God sent a message to Daniel through the angel Gabriel. God did this to show that He cares about His people.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part III
Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - Tuesday
Many of us view prophecy as an abstract, perplexing concept. But this was not God's intent. His prophecies were written to inform and encourage us, that we might comprehend God's wonderful plan for the ages.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part II
Monday, April 06, 2009 - Monday
It is difficult to find people today who keep their word. Thankfully this is not the case with God. We can read the promises of His Word, and we don't have to guess or wonder if it will happen. It will happen.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part II
Friday, April 03, 2009 - Friday
The aspect of detail makes Daniel's Seventy Week prophecy unique. God didn't just tell Daniel that certain events would occur, He also told the time of their accomplishment. God made the details clear - we should have no difficulty understanding his plan.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part I
Thursday, April 02, 2009 - Thursday
During the Jewish captivity in Babylon, Daniel spent time praying and asking God when it would all be over. God not only gave Daniel what he asked for, but He gave him abundantly more.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part I
Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - Wednesday
Many of God's prophecies have already been fulfilled, but there are many yet to come. We can have confidence to believe that what God has done in the first part of prophecy, He will surely do in the last part.
God's People and Prayer
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - Tuesday
The humanistic worldview floods our desks and consciousness. While seeking success in all the wrong places, God desires for us to be fully committed to Him and His will, but we can't do that if we aren't connected to Him through prayer.
God's People and Prayer
Monday, March 30, 2009 - Monday
Daniel cried out for forgiveness of the sin of the Jewish people. He recognized that their sin was worthy of punishment. In fact, he admitted to God that His judgment upon Israel for seventy years was a just decision.
God's Word and Prayer
Friday, March 27, 2009 - Friday
When we encounter trials in our life, we should do what we do every day - come before the Lord with genuine humility. Daniel is an excellent example when it comes to prayer. Despite all the trials Daniel faced in his life, he sought the Lord with frequent fervency on behalf of his people.
God's Word and Prayer
Thursday, March 26, 2009 - Thursday
Prayer is a lost aspect of the church, but we are without excuse. The Bible is full of heartfelt prayers that have God's sanction upon them. Join us Thursday on Turning Point as we look to Daniel as an example of how we should pray.
Antiochus and the Antichrist
Wednesday, March 25, 2009 - Wednesday
Daniel had a vision of two leaders, Alexander and Antiochus, who would possess the qualities of the Antichrist. Both these men rose to power and ruled, just as Daniel said they would. In knowing this, we can guarantee that the Antichrist will rise to power!
Antiochus and the Antichrist
Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - Tuesday
Because God loves the Jewish people, He gave them two leaders to forewarn of the coming Antichrist. Alexander demonstrates the coming power, while Antiochus portrays the coming evil and cruelty.
Superpowers in Conflict
Monday, March 23, 2009 - Monday
Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome reigned and fell just as God told Daniel they would. The prophecies yet to be fulfilled will be completed just as literally as the ones we have seen, exactly as God says it's going to happen!
Superpowers in Conflict
Friday, March 20, 2009 - Friday
As we study history, we realize that the gentile governments of this world are full of selfishness, cruelty, and greed. God sees them as they really are - governments that act like wild, unclean beasts. Friday on Turning Point, we will examine Daniel's vision of these wicked governments.
The Olivet Discourse Discussion
Thursday, March 19, 2009 - Thursday
Jesus didn't intend for us to feel discouraged or anxious when studying prophecy. When He outlined what to expect in the last days before His Second Coming, Christ was intending to encourage us. Thursday on Turning Point, we will discover how to rejoice in anticipation!
The Olivet Discourse Discussion
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - Wednesday
Information is always more reliable when it comes straight from the source. And when it comes to the final days, we should go to the original source - Jesus Christ. Join us Wednesday on Turning Point as we discover what Jesus has to say about the final days.
The Church and the Tribulation
Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - Tuesday
Procrastination is growing more and more prevalent these days. At times, it can work to our advantage. But, for the most part, it leaves us feeling flustered and exhausted. Some choose to procrastinate when it comes to Jesus. Make sure you're not left behind.
The Church and the Tribulation
Monday, March 16, 2009 - Monday
We often hear the phrase, "God is Love." This definition is absolutely true, yet many of us neglect the fact that God cannot stand sin and rebellion, and they are rampant. God will unleash His wrath during the Tribulation; but, in love, He will spare His church.
The Reign of Terror
Friday, March 13, 2009 - Friday
Studying about the Antichrist can be rather frightening without knowing the rest of the story. Thankfully, God provided the entire account in His Word for those who choose to read it. Yes, the Antichrist is coming, but his time is limited. Friday on Turning Point, Dr. David Jeremiah will conclude his message, "The Reign of Terror."
The Reign of Terror
Thursday, March 12, 2009 - Thursday
If a person's character is a good indicator of his actions, we can determine that the reign of the Antichrist will be full of terror. He will be Satan incarnate - a demon with a body - Satan walking around in the flesh.
The Antichrist
Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - Wednesday
If we pay close attention to God's Word, we'll realize that His desire is for us to look at life in a positive light. When the world appears to be unraveling around us, and the spirit of the Antichrist is present, we must keep our eyes fixed on Christ.
The Antichrist
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - Tuesday
Many Bible scholars have attempted to identify the Antichrist over the years. It's impossible for us to know who the Antichrist will be, but the Bible is very clear about his ability to deceive many and appear to be something other than the embodiment of evil.
The Ancient of Days
Monday, March 09, 2009 - Monday
God is a very wise Father. He allowed us to witness the awful and corrupt kingdoms of this world so that we would understand how temporary, unimportant, and doomed to failure we are without His authority.
The Ancient of Days
Friday, March 06, 2009 - Friday
Many of us have sung the praise chorus, "Ancient of Days." What does "Ancient of Days" mean? The term actually means someone who has been around forever and has no beginning. Friday on Turning Point, we will discover how this title applies to God.
God's Animal Parade
Thursday, March 05, 2009 - Thursday
Our nations are in a state of continual decay. Immorality, violence, and corruption are rampant. Why would the God of heaven give authority to nations who continually demonstrate their inadequacy to rule His world? You can find out Thursday on Turning Point.
God's Animal Parade
Wednesday, March 04, 2009 - Wednesday
No matter what our beliefs, we all recognize that strange things are happening in our world. Unrest is everywhere while wars plague the world. What will be the outcome of all this chaos? Wednesday on Turning Point, we are reassured that the Bible answers many of these questions.
Daniel in the Lion's Den
Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - Tuesday
Our typical response to trials in life is to question God. But God allows us to go through difficult times for the purpose of glorifying Himself, not only in the experience, but in the response of His children.
Daniel in the Lion's Den
Monday, March 02, 2009 - Monday
Monday on Turning Point, we will discover that God doesn't always choose to deliver His children in a miraculous way, but He does choose to be with them through the trial.
Prayer Under Pressure
Friday, February 27, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever felt like someone was out to get you? We must conduct ourselves in a way that is honoring to God - being faithful in what He has called us to do. Yet, even when we do what is right, we can be faced with adversity. Join us Friday on Turning Point as we study Daniel's trials and triumphs.
Prayer Under Pressure
Thursday, February 26, 2009 - Thursday
When we achieve success in life, we often forget to thank God. Daniel is a great example of someone who experienced great triumph, yet he remained faithful to God and gave Him all the praise, even when faced with adversity! Join us Thursday on Turning Point as we continue to study this honorable man.
Weighed and Wanting
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - Wednesday
We love our children equally, but we don't necessarily treat them all the same, especially when it comes to discipline. Aren't you glad that God is that way, too? He is a just ruler. His discipline is informed, fair, and accurate.
Weighed and Wanting
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - Tuesday
How will your life be remembered? Daniel, even in his old age, was remembered as being committed to the God of the Hebrew people. He was dependable and trustworthy. Tuesday on Turning Point, we will discover how the Babylonians once again turned to Daniel in their time of distress and need.
The Handwriting on the Wall
Monday, February 23, 2009 - Monday
In today's society, it is politically correct to promote choice because personal choice doesn't affect anyone else. To live with this philosophy is to live in denial. Monday on Turning Point, we will see how moral decline in a society leads to its immanent destruction.
The Handwriting on the Wall
Friday, February 20, 2009 - Friday
God is patient and loving. Yet, there are many times in the Bible when God was forced to unveil His wrath. The Babylonians, under the rule of Belshazzar, lead sinful, immoral lives. Friday on Turning Point, we will discover how their moral decay and disregard for God lead these people to their end.
A Proud King's Conversion
Thursday, February 19, 2009 - Thursday
Warnings surround us in life. Yet, have we ever stopped to listen to the signs of caution God places in our lives. When we are on a path of destruction, God's warnings are present. Thursday on Turning Point, we will see the tragic result of ignoring God's counsel.
A Proud King's Conversion
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - Wednesday
Arrogance blinds us to who we are and how God sees us. Pride can lead to swift destruction, which is why God warns so strongly against it in His Word. Join us Wednesday on Turning Point as Dr. David Jeremiah warns us of the destructive power of pride.
In the Fire with the Lord
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - Tuesday
The song "Through the Fire" by Randy Travis is a song of reassurance and truth. No, God never promised that our journey here on earth would be easy, but He did vow to see us through the trial.
In the Fire with the Lord
Monday, February 16, 2009 - Monday
Sometimes we feel like the older we get, the more intense our trials become. Many of us wish that we could avoid these challenges altogether, but God has a different plan. Monday on Turning Point we will discover that trials are inevitable, but God teaches us how to deal with them.
A Fiery Furnace and a Fiery Faith
Friday, February 13, 2009 - Friday
In our world today, it is difficult to find role models for our children. Thankfully, the Bible is full of characters worth emphasizing. Friday on Turning Point, we will look at the courage, determination, and loyalty of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
A Fiery Furnace and a Fiery Faith
Thursday, February 12, 2009 - Thursday
Chameleons are interesting creatures, able to be conformed by their surroundings. Too many people, Christians included, are easily swayed by their circumstances. Thursday on Turning Point, we will discover how to have a foundation of faith that cannot be altered, regardless of our current situation.
When Christ Rules the World
Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - Wednesday
No current or past leader could ever be perfect, no matter how talented, devoted, caring, and wise they may be. Thankfully, we have a future leader who will be successful in every aspect. Join us Wednesday on Turning Point as we take a deeper look into the sovereign reign of Christ.
When Christ Rules the World
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - Tuesday
Many kingdoms have ruled the world throughout history. But it took time for them to acquire power. However, there is a Kingdom that will come instantly to power. Join us Tuesday on Turning Point as we discover how Christ will move from His Kingdom within us to His Kingdom of this world!
The End of World Government
Monday, February 09, 2009 - Monday
God warns of a time that is coming when man will no longer rule the world. Monday on Turning Point, we will look at Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream and how it reveals an end to man's rule as Christ comes to rule the earth!
The End of World Government
Friday, February 06, 2009 - Friday
If you had the opportunity to see the future, would you take it? What if the knowledge resulted in discovering our time was limited? Friday on Turning Point, we will learn how this dilemma faced King Nebuchadnezzar after Daniel revealed the meaning of his dream.
Nebuchadnezzar's Nightmare
Thursday, February 05, 2009 - Thursday
We need people we can trust in the worst of times. When we discover a treasure like this, we desire to keep that person close. Thursday on Turning Point, we will discover how Daniel became a man of wise counsel for King Nebuchadnezzar by trusting in God to reveal the truth.
Nebuchadnezzar's Nightmare
Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - Wednesday
We've all woken up in the middle of the night from a horrible dream. King Nebuchadnezzar had a nightmare much like this that was so disturbing, it stayed with him for days. Wednesday on Turning Point, we will discover the details of this terrifying event.
Courage to Say No
Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - Tuesday
It is difficult to find someone who maintains high moral character when truth is no longer black and white. Scripture is filled with examples of integrity, and Daniel is just one. Join us Tuesday on Turning Point as we discover how to implement these characteristics into our own lives.
Courage to Say No
Monday, February 02, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever convinced yourself that the little things don't really matter? In the small moments, God prepares us for the bigger trials of life. God knows that if we are faithful in the small things, He can trust us with more.
A Tough Minded Teenager
Friday, January 30, 2009 - Friday
We would be surprised to discover that the prophet Daniel faced the same scrutiny in his day that we face today. He was chosen because of his looks, intelligence, and social graces. Thankfully, God looks at the heart.
A Tough Minded Teenager
Thursday, January 29, 2009 - Thursday
As much as we hate to see the people we love struggle, we know the best way to learn is by failing. God is the perfect example of tough love. He finally got to the point where He said, "Okay, do it your way." Dr. David Jeremiah helps us understand the importance of learning things the hard way.
The Key to Bible Prophecy
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - Wednesday
It may comfort us to know that most of what we see happening today is a glimpse at God's fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. In fact, if we take the time to study the prophetic books of the Bible, we won't be surprised or troubled by current events.
The Key to Bible Prophecy
Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - Tuesday
Many empires have reigned throughout the course of History. In the book of Daniel he outlined the rise and fall of the Gentile pagan kingdoms of his day and the unfolding of the world empires until the return of Jesus Christ.
The Faith of Commitment
Monday, January 26, 2009 - Monday
Commitment. As a society, we have become averse to the thought of obligation. If we cannot make sound promises in our everyday life, how will we ever live a dedicated life for Christ?
Some Things to Think About
Friday, January 23, 2009 - Friday
What kind of a heritage will extend after our lives are over? If we are living a selfish life, we will leave nothing here on earth. Yet, if we invest in the Kingdom of God, our legacy will extend far beyond our own lives.
Some Things to Think About
Thursday, January 22, 2009 - Thursday
Procrastination can get the better of us if we aren't careful. Unfortunately, if we aren't careful, procrastination can keep us from doing what God has called us to do. Thursday on Turning Point, we will be challenged to serve God in faith.
God's Promise to Provide
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - Wednesday
"Doing the unexpected" is a phrase that reveals a side of us that longs for adventure. Yet, our practical side takes over. Wednesday on Turning Point, we will discover that giving to God can provide all the thrills of life with the assurance of knowing He will care for our every need.

Won't Heaven Be Boring? Part 2
Monday, February 08, 2010 - Monday
We've all had boring moments in our lives. As children, it was the time we spent waiting for our parents.

Boredom is often linked to things we don't want to do. If that's the case, how could we ever think heaven would be dull?

Do you believe in life after death? There's certainly a wide range of beliefs to choose from - reincarnation, spirit prison, paradise, heaven, hell, or no afterlife at all.

Friday, January 29, 2010 - Friday
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a broken promise? It's a horrible feeling to be let down, and yet it happens so often in life. Sometimes it's easier to have low expectations and condition ourselves not to trust others in the hopes that we won't feel the pain of disappointment again. But as we conclude the series High Definition Giving Dr. Jeremiah will show us that there is Someone whose promises never fail - and He often exceeds our expectations.
Growing in the Grace of Giving Part 2
Thursday, January 28, 2010 - Thursday
Do you ever feel like you're giving a lot more than you're receiving? Maybe you offer to assist others at work, but no one ever offers to help you. Many of us take in God's grace, thankful for His generosity each and every day, but we rarely think of ourselves as being capable of supplying grace to others. But we're instructed to give our tithes and offerings with grace in the remembrance of the grace God has given to us.
Growing in the Grace of Giving Part 1
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - Wednesday
Parenting has a lot of challenging moments, but any mom or dad will tell you that it's all worth the effort. Especially when you hear that tiny voice whisper, "I love you Mommy," or they throw their arms around you and smother you with kisses. We love it when our children give back to us in this way. God, too, desires acts of love from His children. How are you giving back to God to express your love to Him? In this message, we'll learn how to show God our love by giving back to Him.
The Spirituality of Your Checkbook
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - Tuesday
Are you fascinated by the idea of "climbing the corporate ladder"? It's undoubtedly crossed many of our minds, but management is a responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly. As a manager, the success of the company rests on your shoulders. And as Christians, we're all managers - managers of the gifts, talents, and resources God has entrusted to us. How's your job performance? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will give us three principles to help us manage all that God has delegated to us.
Sowing and Reaping
Monday, January 25, 2010 - Monday
Do we understand the scientific principles of nature? Perhaps we can define the law of conservation of mass and the law of gravity. But do we know why mass cannot be created or destroyed, or why objects with mass attract one another? Probably not, but we know the principles work every time because God designed them. God often uses natural principles for instruction, including sowing and reaping. In this message, we'll discover the correlation between this harvest principle and stewardship.
Jesus At the Treasury Part 2
Friday, January 22, 2010 - Friday
Why do you think so many people are skilled in the art of making excuses? Justification for behavior is certainly a popular theme - we even see it in children. Perhaps people are embarrassed to reveal the truth. Maybe they were never expected to act responsibly. Whatever the cause, we have become a society of excuses, and Christians are just as guilty...especially when it comes to financial stewardship. In this message, we'll be challenged to remember that God knows what we have, and He knows our circumstances. Will we give back to Him with this in mind?
Jesus At the Treasury Part 1
Thursday, January 21, 2010 - Thursday
We all know that parents and teachers have "eyes in the back of their heads," or so we thought growing up. It seemed like our authority figures always knew what we were going to do before we did it...like they could read our minds. In reality, they weren't mind-readers - just skilled in the art of childhood schemes. But Jesus does know our thoughts and intentions, even in the area of giving. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will explain that giving is more than putting money in an offering plate; it's an act of worship.
Solomon's Advice About Money
Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - Wednesday
Perhaps one of the most prevalent stories of 2009 was that of Bernie Madoff and his fifty million dollar ponzi scheme. From country clubs, to non-profits, to CEOs, to actors - thousands of people lost money, and many lost everything. Unfortunately, our society values money as more than just a currency. It's who we are and what we do - it's our life. In this message, we'll consult with an expert on money, one of the richest men who ever lived - Solomon - and discover the risk of finding security in monetary success.
Stewardship Is Lordship Part 2
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - Tuesday
Can you imagine Donald Trump's assistant offering to pay for Trump's lunch? He might accept the offer out of respect, but he's certainly capable of paying for himself. In the same way, our tithes are nothing compared to the resources God possesses - He owns everything! So, does God really need our money? Of course not. In this message, we'll learn that God asks us to tithe as a reminder that nothing belongs to us, and everything we have comes from Him.
Stewardship Is Lordship Part 1
Monday, January 18, 2010 - Monday
Are you ever surprised when a stranger holds the door for you in public? More than likely, we're shocked because that type of courtesy is seldom seen these days. People tend to focus on their goal without stopping for anyone along the way. In the spiritual realm, many think that God is real, but Jesus Christ as Lord is resisted, even by proclaimed followers of Christ. In this message we'll learn that, before we can give our talents and resources to Christ, we have to allow Him to be our Lord.
Priorities of Stewardship
Friday, January 15, 2010 - Friday
Would it surprise you to know that, in the United States alone, the retail clothing industry boasts an annual revenue of one-hundred-thirty billion dollars? It's amazing what we spend money on, what we see as necessity in our lives. And money is only the beginning. How are we spending our time? How are we using our talents? How can we stay alive spiritually in such a materialistic climate?
Giving Yourself First to God
Thursday, January 14, 2010 - Thursday
How many times have you watched your favorite football team lose after a strong fourth quarter push and thought, "If only they had played that way the whole game"? Sometimes we give athletes a hard time, but how often do we give our all to anything or anyone - especially God? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will show us that the best plan for life is to give ourselves to God first and then let His grace guide the direction of our lives.
Putting God First in Our Lives
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 - Wednesday
The average person spends about eight hours each day working, eight hours sleeping, four hours caring for children and doing housework, and four hours exercising or participating in other leisure activities. If you add up all the time, our days are gone. If it's true that the way we spend our time reflects what's important to us, what are we doing to show God is important in our lives? In this message, we'll discover that putting God first with our finances is our first, and best, step.
High Definition Giving
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - Tuesday
Did you know that in 2007, more than twenty-eight percent of homes had a high definition TV? And since that time, that number has more than doubled. Why is everyone so excited about HDTV? Well, it makes television clear and defined - more exciting. So what would happen if God's people looked at stewardship through the lens of high definition? It could change our lives both spiritually and financially.
Failure: The Back Door to Success Part 2
Monday, January 11, 2010 - Monday
Have you ever questioned God? Is it difficult to understand what He's doing in your life? Maybe you've been unemployed for months and can't secure a job. Maybe your marriage is struggling and you don't think it will ever recover. Experiencing the cycle of trials and failures can be hard to understand. Although it's difficult to hear, we need to know that failing is often a good thing - because it means God is up to something. And He always has our ultimate success in mind.
Failure: The Back Door to Success Part 1
Friday, January 08, 2010 - Friday
Procrastination Part 2
Thursday, January 07, 2010 - Thursday
We can all agree that procrastination involves putting off work until another time. Yet even the greatest procrastinator gets things done. They just choose to do the things that are more important, or more enjoyable to them...perhaps putting off the more important things of life. In this message, we'll discover that many of us do this with God. We choose to do the things we want to do rather than the things God has called us to do.
Procrastination Part 1
Wednesday, January 06, 2010 - Wednesday
Would you consider yourself a procrastinator? Even if we don't make a habit of dragging our feet, we've experienced a situation where we really didn't want to do something that needed to be done. Perhaps it was a project at work, the dishes in the sink, or making an important doctor's appointment. We all have tasks we don't want to touch. Although procrastination is often a part of life, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us of the risks we run when we put things off...especially the things God has called us to do.
The Outlier of the Christian Life Part 2
Tuesday, January 05, 2010 - Tuesday
Wouldn't you agree that we can often tell if a person is going to "stand out" in a crowd even at a very young age? Perhaps they put significant, purposeful effort into learning even the most basic skills, like: learning to tie their shoes and learning to count. What causes people like this to be noticeable? It's their diligence. In this message, we'll learn that God has given us everything we need to be a "stand out" for Christ; all we have to do is apply diligence.
The Outlier of the Christian Life Part 1
Monday, January 04, 2010 - Monday
Wouldn't you agree that we can often tell if a person is going to "stand out" in a crowd even at a very young age? Perhaps they put significant, purposeful effort into learning even the most basic skills, like: learning to tie their shoes and learning to count. What causes people like this to be noticeable? It's their diligence. In this message, we’ll learn that God has given us everything we need to be a "stand out" for Christ; all we have to do is apply diligence.
God of the Ages
Friday, January 01, 2010 - Friday
As we look forward to a New Year, we can't help but wonder what happened to the last. Or for that matter, what happened to the last ten years? The years seem like yesterday as we look back on them. So what can we do to keep the years from passing us by? How can we find purpose for the future? In this message, we'll discover that God's Word, His truth, is timeless, it's eternal, and it can help prepare our hearts for a new year.
Preparing for a High Definition Life Part 2
Thursday, December 31, 2009 - Thursday
What would you say are the most popular New Year's resolutions? Many sources report that, losing weight, managing debt, getting a better job, going back to school, reducing stress, volunteering more, and traveling are among the top resolutions. As Christians, our goals are often the same as everyone else's, but shouldn't we be different? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah challenges us to maximize the gifts God has given us so we can fulfill our purpose here on earth.
Preparing for a High Definition Life Part 1
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - Wednesday
How many of you own a high-definition TV? If you're one of the millions of people who succumbed to the lure of the latest technology, more than likely you'd never go back to your old TV. The clarity is unbeatable! It makes old movies seem new, and Monday night football more exciting. But as we upgrade our technology, shouldn't we be upgrading our lives as well? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will give us three ways to make high-definition living a reality.
Trusting God in Times of Trouble Part 2
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - Tuesday
A headline seen earlier this year read, "Bad Times Draw Bigger Crowds to Churches." Many of us know this, as we saw our churches packed the Sunday after September 11, 2001. And during the past year, with the financial market in a mess, we saw another surge of people enter our churches. Why is it that trouble brings us closer to God like nothing else can?
Trusting God in Times of Trouble Part 1
Monday, December 28, 2009 - Monday
Financial headlines over the past year have certainly been troubling. And we think nothing like this has ever been seen before. But in 1929, the headlines read, "Second Big Crash Stuns Wall Street." Then in 1931, President Coolidge said, "The country is not in good condition." Tough times are nothing new. Times and events may change, but the trials in life do not. And in this message, we'll learn that we can rely on the God we serve who doesn't change.
The Wonder of Christmas
Friday, December 25, 2009 - Friday
When it starts to snow, do you think, "Oh, I'm going to have to shovel that." Or do you marvel, "Wow! Each of those snowflakes is uniquely created by God." If we're not careful, we can be exposed to God's creation but forget how miraculous it really is. As we go through the Christmas season, caught up in parties and gifts - we don't want to forget how truly miraculous it is that Jesus Christ came to this earth. As we celebrate Christmas today, Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us to remain in awe of Christ's coming as he shares his message, "The Wonder of Christmas."
Anna
Thursday, December 24, 2009 - Thursday
For most of us, Christmas is an exciting time of the year. We're quickly gathering together our gifts and food - anxiously awaiting the arrival of our family. There's not a better time of year. Yet, for some people, Christmas is a time of loneliness. Perhaps they have no family, no one to celebrate with. In this message, we'll look at the life of a precious woman named Anna, and how she overcame her loneliness through the love of Christ.
Simeon Part 2
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever waited for something so long that you thought it would never happen? Sarah certainly felt that way as she waited so many years before having her son Isaac. Noah probably felt that way as he built the ark and waited for the flood waters to come. But the greatest part about waiting is the blessing that comes at the end. In this message, we'll discover that Simeon waited most of his life for the coming of the Messiah. And what a blessing it was when he finally met his Savior - Jesus.
Simeon Part 1
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - Tuesday
Do you ever question whether you're doing God's will? Ever feel like you need God's blessing? We've all experienced this at some point in our lives. And that's when God is so good to send us the right person, a special message, the perfect Scripture to reassure us that we are doing His will. Mary and Joseph must have needed to be reassured after the birth of Jesus, so God sent a message through a faithful man - Simeon.
The Dream
Monday, December 21, 2009 - Monday
Has God ever asked you to do something that seemed crazy? Something that, to the average person, would appear ridiculous? We know God has asked astounding things of His people. He asked Gideon to defeat an army four times the size of his own. He asked Moses to lead the Hebrew people from Egypt. Gideon and Moses both obeyed. But what about Joseph? In this message, we'll learn that God asked Joseph to be the surrogate father of His Son, and although it seemed crazy, Joseph obeyed.
Jesus
Friday, December 18, 2009 - Friday
Did you know that more than ninety-eight million websites are available to assist expecting parents in choosing a name for their child? This number seems a little extreme, but selecting the right name for a child is important. And it's the meaning that holds the greatest significance. It's unlikely that God did much debating when He was choosing the name for His Son. Only one name was truly fitting for a Savior - Jesus!
The Gift Part 2
Thursday, December 17, 2009 - Thursday
Gifts are certainly a special part of our Christmas celebration. And for most of us, the greatest joy comes from giving to others. But have you ever given a gift to someone who rejected it? They didn't want anything to do with you or the present. A gift is not complete unless it has been given and received. In this message, we'll discover that Jesus is the ultimate Christmas gift. He came to offer us the most precious gift, a gift for everyone. But we have to receive it.
The Gift Part 1
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you enjoy gifts at Christmas? Perhaps even more than the actual gifts, we enjoy the anticipation. We look at the gift under the tree, sizing it up to determine what could possibly be inside. Then we pick it up to determine the weight. We enjoy the expectation that comes with gifts. In this message, we'll discover that in much the same way, the coming of the Messiah was a gift many people anxiously awaited for years - knowing He was coming, but not when or how.
Casting Out Fear Part 2
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 - Tuesday
How many times have you been startled from a deep sleep by a scared child? Children are prone to having nightmares, so many adults have dealt with calming the fears of a frightened child. How do we free our children from the fear that has overtaken them? For starters, we comfort them with our love, knowing that our love can erase the terror of their dream. In the same way, God wants us to live fearlessly. Dr. Jeremiah shows us that only the love of God can cast out all fear from our lives.
Casting Out Fear Part 1
Monday, December 14, 2009 - Monday
Many people today live in fear. With terrorist attacks, unprecedented natural disasters, and economic downturns, it's no wonder many are living in fear. Aside from global events, people are faced with illnesses, family conflicts, and the deaths of loved ones. With all that we're facing, how do we overcome fear? Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Living in the Light. He'll explain how to overcome fear with love because - "Perfect love casts out all fears."
Loving God—Loving Each Other
Friday, December 11, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever known a couple who had a story-book marriage? Speaking kind words, stealing sweet glances, and selflessly serving one another - a marriage filled with the love of God is precious. When you see a marriage like that, you know they not only love one another, they also love the Lord. In much the same way, we are in a love relationship with Christ. He loved us by giving His life, but how do we show our love for Him? Dr. Jeremiah will show us that loving God is about loving each other.
When We Shall Be Like Him! Part 2
Thursday, December 10, 2009 - Thursday
Would you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Even the most positive optimists are thinking pessimistic ideas these days. Our world seems to be spiraling down a dark track without much light at the end of the tunnel. If we continue to focus on the present, we're sure to feel hopeless. But as Christians, no matter how bad the world gets, we can be optimistic about the future. Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that someday soon, we'll not only see Christ, we'll be like Him.
When We Shall Be Like Him! Part 1
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 - Wednesday
We all understand the phrase, "Hind sight is twenty-twenty," because we've all done something we're not proud of - something we wish we could change. Unfortunately, we can't go back and undo the past. Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand that God knows our failures, past and present, and loves us anyway. And we can live the rest of our lives honoring His plan for us - to be pure and holy until we see Christ and spend eternity with Him.
Living the World Part 2
Tuesday, December 08, 2009 - Tuesday
What would be your greatest piece of advice to a friend who is trying to lose weight by eating less? Would you tell them to go to their favorite restaurant? Would you tell them to go down the snack aisle at the grocery store? Of course not! You would encourage them to avoid situations where they'd be tempted to over eat. In much the same way, we'll discover today that loving the world can be destructive to our relationship with God and can stunt our spiritual growth.
Living the World Part 1
Monday, December 07, 2009 - Monday
Do you believe in love at first sight? Most of us would say love takes time. It starts with admiration and develops into more. How do Christians become so "in love" with the world? It starts by admiring an actor, enjoying a certain television show, or reading the magazines in the check-out line. Before we know it, we're hooked. The enticing world has us captivated. But God didn't intend for us to love the world to the point of becoming part of it. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to warn us of the dangers of loving the world too much.
Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 2
Friday, December 04, 2009 - Friday
Many societies today are dealing with the negative effects of the "Boomerang Generation." They're called "boomerang" because they represent adult children who move back home and allow their parents to provide for them. For some people in this situation, they've chosen familiarity rather than stepping out on their own and growing by personal experience. Unfortunately, many people do this in their Christian walk. Dr. Jeremiah has some thoughts for us about the importance of growing in our faith.
Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 1
Thursday, December 03, 2009 - Thursday
The antics of children never cease to amaze us. But we understand that at each stage of their development they are learning from their choices and even their mistakes. But, as they grow older, we give them more responsibility and expect more from them. Our ultimate goal? That they will grow into mature adults, setting an example for the next generation. In this message, we'll learn that God desires the same kind of growth in our spiritual lives.
Trust and Obey Part 2
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever seen a military group being trained? The commanding officer gives an order, and the soldiers immediately obey. Can you imagine what would happen if a few of the men decided they didn't really feel like following orders? Obedience is a crucial aspect of the military. Orders must be executed immediately to ensure the safety of the soldiers and to properly execute the mission. In much the same way, we are soldiers for Christ. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to remind us of the importance of our obedience to Him.
Trust and Obey Part 1
Tuesday, December 01, 2009 - Tuesday
What would you say is the most important trait we teach our children? Is it honesty? Perhaps compassion? Or maybe it's patience. All of these characteristics are valuable, but the most important trait is obedience. When children learn the importance of obedience, they not only honor their parents, they honor God, and prepare themselves to obey Him. Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Living in the Light, by teaching us what obedience reveals about our spiritual life.
The Games Christians Play Part 2
Monday, November 30, 2009 - Monday
So many people are plagued with the disease of denial. Despite overwhelming evidence, these people refuse to accept facts placed before them because it's easier that way. They'd rather live their lives based on feelings than facts. Do they know what they're missing? In the same way, many Christians live in denial of sin. Dr. David Jeremiah will teach us that the denial of the power, presence, and practice of sin can rob us of our joy in Christ.
The Games Christians Play Part 1
Friday, November 27, 2009 - Friday
With the current job market, a lot of people are relocating to find work - perhaps to a place they never imagined living. In situations like this, it's easy to focus solely on the daily routine in the new location, never becoming a part of the community or realizing that new friends and experiences are available to them. In this message, we'll discover that, in the same way, many Christians never take the opportunity to experience the joy of fellowship with Christ.
The Importance of Knowing Part 2
Thursday, November 26, 2009 - Thursday
"Tolerance" is the popular buzzword these days. But the definition of tolerance has been distorted from its original meaning. Now, if we want to be considered "tolerant," we have to celebrate everyone's beliefs as being equally valid and true, even to the point of telling Christian churches they have to tolerate those who choose to believe false doctrines. Never has there been a more important time to know God's Word and know why it is the Truth!
The Importance of Knowing Part 1
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? Knowing what we believe, knowing God's Word, becomes more important every year. With the number of cults increasing and those already in existence flourishing, we can't help but ask ourselves, "why?" Why are people turning from Truth to false doctrine, to empty hope? It might be because they never really knew the truth. Join Dr. David Jeremiah for a critical message from First John called, "The Importance of Knowing."
What Can I Do When Trouble Overwhelms Me?
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 - Tuesday
Rebellious children. Aging parents. Job insecurities. Unstable finances. Failing health. Many of us are struggling in some area of our lives and we're overwhelmed. At times even our attempts to fix the problem seems futile. Why is it so hard? Isn't life as a Christian supposed to be easy? In the conclusion of his series God, I Need Some Answers, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that God never promised us a trouble-free life - but He did give us instructions for how to overcome them.
So Why Should I Be Thankful?
Monday, November 23, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever watched a mother train her child by providing the opportunity to make a choice? Often it's very effective and develops the child's ability to reflect on the decision, even at a young age. From the moment we wake-up, our lives are filled with choices. So making decisions isn't foreign to us. But what about the choice we need to make regarding our thankfulness? Dr. Jeremiah continues his series today, God, I Need Some Answers, by answering this important question, "So Why Should I Be Thankful?"
How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 2
Friday, November 20, 2009 - Friday
There seems to be a trend in our society of people avoiding responsibility. We see it in people who have children and don't take care of them. We see it in people who don't pay their bills. The thought is, "If I just ignore it long enough, it might just go away." And we all know how well that works. Yet, many people try to do this with sin. They ignore it, hoping it will go away. But Dr. Jeremiah wants us to know that sin cannot be ignored.
How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 1
Thursday, November 19, 2009 - Thursday
Forgiveness is often a difficult concept, especially if we've ever been deeply hurt by someone we love. Most of us would agree that it's nearly impossible to forgive someone who's not sorry for what they've done. But when that person comes to you in brokenness, completely devastated over the pain they've caused in your life - now, that is the beginning of true forgiveness. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will show us that our forgiveness from God happens in a very similar way.
Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 2
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever feel like being faithful to God isn’t worth it? We spend our time serving at the Church, teaching a Bible study, or helping an elderly neighbor, and why? After all, ungodly people ignore God in the pursuit of personal happiness, and often drift through life without a care. Yet Christians face so many trials - it seems unfair! Why do good things happen to bad people?
Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 1
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever seen television shows that allow a glimpse into the lives of people living in self-indulgent luxury? These shows and others like them can cause us to wonder why these people live in abundance - especially when many of them outwardly deny God and His truth. As we continue the series God, I Need Some Answers, we'll discover that our lives here on earth are temporary, and we need to view life from God's perspective.
How Can I Help My Family? Part 2
Monday, November 16, 2009 - Monday
Parenting resources are endless these days. Books, magazines, websites, chat rooms - we're guaranteed to find the answers to our most difficult questions. Unfortunately, many of us try the world's approach and end up making the situation even worse. So, where can we find the strategies for effective parenting? How can we really help our families? Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that God created families, and He gave us instructions throughout His Word on how to make them work.
How Can I Help My Family? Part 1
Friday, November 13, 2009 - Friday
Did you know that the divorce rate has increased by more than two-hundred percent over the past thirty years? That's probably why a professor at Cornell University claims that the decline of marriage is the most significant demographic change since the end of World War II. The breakdown of marriage and family is causing a collapse in our moral standards and quality of life. So, how do we protect our families from becoming a statistic?
How Do I Face My Fears? Part 2
Thursday, November 12, 2009 - Thursday
Are you experiencing anxiety and fear? Perhaps you're afraid of losing your job as you continue to watch the struggling financial market. Or maybe you've already experienced cutbacks at work, and you're not sure how you're going to pay your mortgage. There's certainly plenty to be concerned about these days, filling us with worry. Where do these fears come from? How can we overcome them? Find out the answers to these questions and more when you join Dr. Jeremiah for his message, "How Do I Face My Fears?"
How Do I Face My Fears? Part 1
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - Wednesday
"Car Bomb Kills Thirty in Southern Iraq." "Four Allegedly Plotted to Bomb NYC Temple." "Afghan Wedding Party Bombed." The headlines grow more troubling every day. During the summer of 2009, more than four-hundred-fifty people were killed by acts of terrorism. This is enough to make us fearful of getting out of bed each day. So what do we do? How do we face these fears? Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that God's Word has a plan for the fearful.
How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 2
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - Tuesday
In 2002, National Public Radio conducted a survey of listeners called, "Books That Changed Your Life." Among the titles - Lord of the Rings, Tale of Two Cities, Madame Bovary, The Pickwick Papers, and Pride and Prejudice. All of these books are classics, and no doubt had a lasting impression on the readers. But were they actually transforming? Do they have the power to change people? In this message, we'll discover one book that can truly change your life.
How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 1
Monday, November 09, 2009 - Monday
Forensic science shows are everywhere these days - people just can't get enough of them. It's fascinating to watch the unraveling of clues and evidence that lead to a conviction. No matter how we may perceive the situation, the facts don't lie. So in life, how can we know if information is factual? How do we know if we can trust our source? Well, today we'll learn that there is One Source we can always trust; and if we let it, it can change our lives!
How Can I Be Happy? Part 2
Friday, November 06, 2009 - Friday
According to a recent survey, hundreds of people defined happiness as good health, experiencing freedom, and having more provisions than you need. If these things define happiness, how can the woman with terminal cancer, the imprisoned man in North Korea, and the starving family in South Africa have an incomprehensible joy? Because our happiness isn't dependent on our experiences in this world. Dr. David Jeremiah will teach us that happiness is found in righteousness.
How Can I Be Happy? Part 1
Thursday, November 05, 2009 - Thursday
How do we find happiness? That seems to be the burning question today. People have an incredible thirst for happiness and will try almost anything to incorporate it into their lives. But shouldn't we recognize that if lasting happiness is found in material things and indulging ourselves in whatever we want, most of us should be deliriously happy beyond description. So if that's not the way to happiness, what is?
What Is My Self-Worth? Part 2
Wednesday, November 04, 2009 - Wednesday
"Researchers Discover 'On-Switch' for Cell Death Signaling Mechanism." Headlines show that scientists discover more information about the human body every day, adding to the complexity of our creation. And yet, with all the evidence of our unique design, people still doubt their value and worth - not recognizing God's plan in creating them. In this message, we'll discover that God's efforts didn't end with our creation - He has an ongoing plan for our lives.
What Is My Self-Worth? Part 1
Tuesday, November 03, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that a "self-esteem" search on Amazon returns more than one-hundred-fifty thousand results? Self-worth is a hot topic these days. All across the world people are attending self-help seminars, reading books on self-esteem - all in an attempt to feel more significant, more important. How do we discover our true worth? Dr. David Jeremiah will help us to understand that our value, our significance, comes from the fact that God made us and knows our needs - our worth is in that truth alone.
Who Am I and Why Am I Here?
Monday, November 02, 2009 - Monday
"Positive Thinking" is a popular movement that claims to improve the quality of life. No one's going to say that optimism is a bad idea, but it can't provide solutions to some of the things we encounter in life that we simply don't understand. The experiences we live through can often lead us to question "who am I," and "why am I here?" In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand that the answers to life's questions can only be found in God's Word.
Stay Convinced Part 2
Friday, October 30, 2009 - Friday
It doesn't take very long for us to be convinced of something. We see a segment on the news with footage to back it up, and we store it away as truth! How would our lives change if we were just as easily persuaded that Christ is returning? Dr. Jeremiah concludes his series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, and reassures us that, no matter what might be happening in our world, our greatest comfort is knowing that Christ is coming-and He's coming soon!
Stay Convinced Part 1
Thursday, October 29, 2009 - Thursday
Do you find yourself getting discouraged by current events? News of poverty, immorality, death, and destruction can't help but make you wonder if we're living in the End Times. If that is the case, how would you live your life differently if you knew Christ was returning today? Whether it's today or not, we know He's coming soon. And Dr. Jeremiah wants to encourage us to endure the chaos of the world with the hope of Christ's return.
Stay Committed
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - Wednesday
Would you be surprised to know that the fear of commitment is an actual phobia? This isn't surprising considering divorce rates, uncertainty in real estate, and the volatility of the stock market. Too often, people will make an oath or a promise and just walk away. How many of us do that with our faith in Christ? Dr. Jeremiah urges us to remain dedicated to our faith, especially during difficult times.
Stay Consistent Part 2
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - Tuesday
Aren't you thankful for modern technology? We can get nearly everything done with the click of a button. Getting projects finished so quickly allows us to hurry through life, accomplishing more than we ever thought possible. Although being efficient is great, there's one thing that shouldn't be hurried - our walk with Christ. Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, and instructs us on the importance of staying consistent in our Christian walk.
Stay Consistent Part 1
Monday, October 26, 2009 - Monday
Would you say your life is the same today as it was two years ago? We're all living differently today due to the changes in our world. Perhaps our banking habits have changed after watching many banks close. Or maybe we're traveling less and saving more money. Whatever the case, we've made adjustments. Life can change our actions, but we can't let it affect our walk with Christ. And Dr. Jeremiah will remind us of this truth as he continues in his series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World.
Stay Confident Part 2
Friday, October 23, 2009 - Friday
What do you think is the greatest concern of people these days? More than likely, most people are concerned about the future - their job, their home, their investments. So, we read the latest magazine article or book. We scour the Internet for answers - all the time neglecting our greatest Source. Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that our best and ultimate source for answers is always the Word of God.
Stay Confident Part 1
Thursday, October 22, 2009 - Thursday
According to the FDIC, nearly one-hundred United States banks have closed in the last year. It's no wonder why many of us are lacking confidence these days. Who can we trust? Where can we place our confidence? Well, there's one thing we can always trust with certainty - the Bible. And as Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he will assure us that the key to remaining secure during these uncertain times is following God's instruction Book - His Word.
Stay Centered Part 2
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - Wednesday
Too often in life, we allow our trials to become our focus - distorting our outlook on life, our relationships with others, and our perception of God. But if we focus on God's commitment to us and His desire to see us succeed, we will begin to see our lives and our relationship with Christ more clearly. In this message Dr. David Jeremiah explains the importance of staying centered on Christ, especially during difficult times.
Stay Centered Part 1
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - Tuesday
How many of us are feeling overwhelmed these days? Aside from the stresses of daily life and disturbing news reports we hear every day, we probably know someone who has lost their job or home, and we're concerned about what tomorrow will bring. Where can we safely place our hope and our trust? In today's message from Dr. Jeremiah's new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he'll explain how staying focused on Christ provides safety and security in an uncertain world.
Stay Connected Part 2
Monday, October 19, 2009 - Monday
Do you tweet? You've been tagged. T-A-F-N. In the age of Twitter, Facebook, and texting, we're certainly a connected society - instantly connected. But are we looking for association in the right places? As Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, he'll teach us that our best connection during these difficult days is the Church. Through the teaching of God's Word and fellowship with other believers, we can gain a true sense of certainty in an uncertain world.
Stay Connected Part 1
Friday, October 16, 2009 - Friday
We live in a connected world. Thanks to our blackberries and iPhones, our jobs are no longer nine-to-five, and we're alerted to breaking news within minutes. Then we wonder why we can't escape the chaos of the world. Maybe we're connected to the wrong source. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah explains that the best way for us to be encouraged and blessed is by remaining connected to the local church.
Stay Challenged Part 3
Thursday, October 15, 2009 - Thursday
Our world as we know it is changing. One day soon, people won't even remember what it was like before the recession of 2009. As the world changes around us, we're tempted to become altered by our circumstances. But we need to challenge ourselves and others to persevere in light of all that is happening in our world. In today's message, "Stay Challenged," from Dr. David Jeremiah's new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World , we'll learn that difficult times are often the greatest opportunities for personal growth.
Stay Challenged Part 2
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - Wednesday
The news today is not good. Whether your source is the Internet, radio, or television, the reports about the condition of our world are not optimistic. But does that mean we give up? No, when times are challenging, the people of God need to be a voice of confidence in a world that seems out of control-urging people to remain hopeful in spite of the events around them. In this message from his new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us to "Stay Challenged."
Stay Challenged Part 1
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 - Tuesday
Nothing ever changes. Has there ever been a time without war? A time without poverty? A time without disease? No-and things only seem to get worse with time. In light of the constant presence of suffering, it's easy to give up. As Dr. Jeremiah continues in his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll be reminded that while the world falls apart around us, we must stay challenged to grow in the Word of God-diligently building on our foundation of faith.
Stay Constructive Part 2
Monday, October 12, 2009 - Monday
Weekly, if not daily, we're asked to "weigh in" on the big issues. Do you think the housing market will turn around? Is it safe to travel internationally? What does the future hold? And with these questions comes a choice-we can either build-up or we can tear down. As we continue in Dr. Jeremiah's new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll learn that now, more than ever, we need to be encouraging those around us and staying constructive in our relationships.
Stay Constructive Part 1
Friday, October 09, 2009 - Friday
We don't have to look very far today without seeing some sort of division-governments, companies, churches, and families are all full of dissension. Everyone has an opinion, and they want to be heard. If we're not careful when sharing our viewpoint with others, we do more tearing down than building up. In this message from Dr. Jeremiah's new book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll be reminded that, during difficult times, we need to stay constructive in our relationships.
Stay Compassionate Part 2
Thursday, October 08, 2009 - Thursday
It's safe to say that, in some way, all of our lives have been affected by the chaos of this world-and most of us are doing our best just to get by. But we're so busy being distracted by our own problems that we don't see the people God has put right in front of us - people more in need than ourselves. In this message, author and teacher, Dr. David Jeremiah continues in his newest series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World and challenges us to stay compassionate, even in the midst of difficult times.
Stay Compassionate Part 1
Wednesday, October 07, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you know someone who is facing problems due to the economy? From unemployment and loss of homes to retirement funds crashing in value-the pain seems endless. How can we stay compassionate during tumultuous times? In a message from Dr. Jeremiah's newest book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll discover that now, more than ever, we need to see others through the eyes of Christ, and reach out to those hurting and in need.
Stay Calm Part 2
Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - Tuesday
"Hundreds Lost in Taiwan Typhoon." "Dozens Killed in Iraqi Bombing Spree." From earthquakes, floods, and pandemics to car bombs, military coups, and kidnapping-no one is beyond the reach of the headlines that have plagued our world over the last year. So, how do we remain calm in such a troubling world? Thankfully, the answer is found in God's Word. And we'll discover that today as we join Dr. David Jeremiah for his new series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World.
Stay Calm Part 1
Monday, October 05, 2009 - Monday
Are you feeling the effects of these troubling days? People are losing their jobs, their homes, and their life savings at alarming rates. We can't turn on the news without hearing about another freak accident or natural disaster. In the midst of all this chaos, we can't help but ask, what on earth should we do now? In this message from Dr. Jeremiah's newest book, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, we'll discover what the Bible says about staying calm, even in the midst of difficult times.
Slaying the Giant of Jealousy Part 2

Slaying the Giant of Jealousy Part 1
Thursday, October 01, 2009 - Thursday
Slaying the Giant of Failure Part 2
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - Wednesday
Would you say you enjoy failing? Most of us would respond with a resounding, "NO!" to that question. And it's no wonder when our society is driven by success. Entire companies are dedicated to helping students achieve successful SAT scores, and companies reward employees for excellent performance. No one's saying that success is bad, but why do we fear failure? In this message, we'll learn that failing one time or many times doesn't diminish our usefulness to God.
Slaying the Giant of Failure Part 1
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, actually failed the sixth grade? Perhaps you remember that Abraham Lincoln actually lost twelve major elections before becoming the sixteenth president of the United States? A lot of people have failed in life, but those moments don't define their character. In much the same way, Dr. Jeremiah will remind us that our failures don't define who we are - our relationship with Christ does.
Slaying the Giant of Procrastination Part 2
Monday, September 28, 2009 - Monday
Do you feel it's acceptable for your doctor to notify you three months after a positive cancer test? Would it be okay if the fire crew took their time getting to your burning home? Of course not! Procrastination in these situations could mean the difference between life and death. So why do we find procrastination acceptable in our Christian walk? In this message, we discover that procrastination can keep us from opportunities to serve God and recognize our need for Him.
Slaying the Giant of Procrastination Part 1
Friday, September 25, 2009 - Friday
Would you say procrastination is a wide-spread issue in our society? In a recent study, it was estimated that ninety-five percent of our population is prone to procrastination. And among that group, twenty-percent of the people are chronic procrastinators. These statistics make it pretty clear that procrastination is a problem in our society, but it's also a problem in our churches. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah warns us of the danger we face when we fail to act and miss the opportunities God has set before us.
Slaying the Giant of Doubt Part 2
Thursday, September 24, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever doubted your investment strategy? In light of our current economic situation, we've all had our doubts. In many ways, uncertainty is good. It causes us to do our homework and make sure we know where our money is going. But doubt has a negative side as well. It can lead us to unbelief and an unwillingness to listen to the truth, which is also true in our relationship with God. Uncertainty helps us to ask sincere questions that dispel our doubts and build our faith.
Slaying the Giant of Doubt Part 1
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever experience doubt? Perhaps you question the relationships in your life. Should you marry the person you're dating? Can you really trust that your friends are sincere? Well, if you've ever had these moments, you're certainly not alone. Some of history's greatest Christians had moments of doubt. And at times uncertainty can be good - keeping us from accepting truth on a surface level. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand how to use doubt to discover deeper truth.
Slaying the Giant of Resentment Part 2
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - Tuesday
Does it surprise you that many women experience resentment when they hear the phrase, "I'm pregnant!"? If more people knew that about ten percent of couples aren't able to conceive a child, then we'd understand why that phrase can be so hurtful. Often times people take their very real hurts and dwell on them until they become deep-seated resentment. But God has a better plan for us than to allow resentment to consume us. Listen as Dr. Jeremiah shows us how to work through bitterness and live a healthy life free of resentment.
Slaying the Giant of Resentment Part 1
Monday, September 21, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever been upset with someone at work? Perhaps a promotion you had been working for was given to that person, and you know they don't really deserve the reward. Very soon your anger over the situation can turn into resentment that grows and blossoms into something you never imagined - like a weed in your garden that flourishes next to your flowers. How do we as Christians eliminate the resentment that threatens to consume us? In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah outlines strategies for living resentment free.
Slaying the Giant of Anger Part 2
Friday, September 18, 2009 - Friday
Do you remember the Columbine and Virginia Tech Massacres? For most of us, we immediately see the news coverage in our minds - the rising death toll, the terrified students, the concerned parents, the angry perpetrators. Sadly, these emotionally troubled and depressed students took the lives of their peers and instructors - because they didn't know how to deal with the anger that lived inside them. So, how do we overcome anger in our lives?
Slaying the Giant of Anger Part 1
Thursday, September 17, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that road rage violence claims the lives of more than fifteen-hundred people each year? This doesn't include drunk-driving, car-jackings, or hit-and-runs. Road rage deaths are caused by an angry motorist intentionally killing another person in response to a traffic altercation. This statistic obviously proves that many people are full of anger. In this message, we'll learn how to keep our anger from becoming sinful and destructive.
Slaying the Giant of Temptation Part 2
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - Wednesday
What would you say is the greatest temptation facing Christians today? Many people would say the addiction to pornography is among the greatest threats. With more than four million pornographic websites, it's no wonder that people are falling victim daily, with lives and families being destroyed. But in this message, Dr. Jeremiah helps us understand that temptation is the common enemy of every person, and it always has been - but God has provided a way of escape.
Slaying the Giant of Temptation Part 1
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - Tuesday
Why is it so difficult to remain strong when we are tempted? We watch an inappropriate movie because a co-worker recommended it. We involve ourselves in gossiping situations which we know are not edifying or appropriate. And what happens? We find it hard to be strong because we never should have put ourselves in the situation, and find we're too weak to resist in our own strength. Dr. David Jeremiah teaches us the secret to escaping those moments of weakness as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Temptation."
Slaying the Giant of Guilt Part 2
Monday, September 14, 2009 - Monday
What is the most important lesson parents teach their children? No one would argue if you said a key component of parenting is helping your children realize they have made a mistake and need to take responsibility for their actions. It's important in life, but it's also an important aspect in our walk with God. Accepting responsibility for our sin is the first step and then we can ask for forgiveness. In this message, we'll discover that God wants to free us from the burden of guilt in our lives.
Slaying the Giant of Guilt Part 1
Friday, September 11, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever said something that you wished you could take back? We all have. And quite honestly, we'd like to forget it. So, we place the conversation somewhere in the back of our mind until it begins to resurface - only this time it's attached to guilt. How do we get rid of the tormenting memory that consumes our thoughts? In this message, we'll discover that God has given us directives on how we can free our lives of guilt.
Slaying the Giant of Worry Part 2
Thursday, September 10, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that nearly one-third of the world's population will suffer from an anxiety attack at some point during their lifetime? That's probably because the greatest trigger for an anxiety attack is extreme worry. And it's no wonder that people are so afflicted with worry. Our news reports are full of shocking headlines - stories that hit a little too close to home. That's why Dr. David Jeremiah wants to remind us that God is in control of our lives. And if we truly believe that, we have no need to worry.
Slaying the Giant of Worry Part 1
Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - Wednesday
Why is it that we often find ourselves worrying about something during the course of the day? We worry about our finances and our children. We worry about terrorism and war. Now some of us may disagree, saying that we're just concerned; but that's what Christians say to cover up the fact that they're doing something they shouldn't be. In this message, we'll find out that being too future-focused doesn't work because we don't know the future, and the future isn't ours to know.
Slaying the Giant of Loneliness Part 2
Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever noticed how many services are available for people looking to find "that special someone"? From our newspapers, to the bar and club scene, to Internet companies, the dating industry is huge and continues to grow. Because loneliness creates a void of emptiness, people attempt to compensate by filling their lives with replacements for true relationships - particularly substitutes for a relationship with God. That's why we have to learn how to look beyond our circumstances and fill our emptiness with Christ. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah shows us how.
Slaying the Giant of Loneliness Part 1
Monday, September 07, 2009 - Monday
We take pride in the fact that our modern society is filled with independent individuals. Being self-contained and self-sufficient is encouraged today - even idealized. And many people want nothing more than to climb the executive ladder - until they reach the end of their lives and realize they're all alone. They have no one to share in their success, and they would trade it all for someone to love. In today's message, we learn how to avoid and overcome the effects and pain of loneliness.
Slaying the Giant of Discouragement Part 2
Friday, September 04, 2009 - Friday
A failing marriage. Loss of a job. The serious illness of someone you love. All these situations can lead to discouragement. And being discouraged when we're facing trials is normal. The problem comes when we allow this giant of discouragement to take over our lives. We lose our nerve and just want to give up, which is exactly what the enemy wants - to keep us from the work God is doing in and through us. That's why Dr. Jeremiah is eager to show us how to regain our perspective and courage as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Discouragement."
Slaying the Giant of Discouragement Part 1
Thursday, September 03, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever suffered from discouragement? Well, you're certainly not alone. In fact, you join the ranks of people like Job, David, and Nehemiah. These men of the Bible faced frustration, failure, and fatigue that ultimately lead to discouragement. But they weren't going to let that giant dictate their lives. Instead, they determined to look at life from God's perspective to regain their courage. As he continues his "Slaying the Giants" series, Dr. Jeremiah helps us understand how to overcome the giant of discouragement.
Slaying the Giant of Fear Part 2
Wednesday, September 02, 2009 - Wednesday
What would you say is your greatest fear? We're all afraid of something, and our fears are natural reactions to things that might cause us harm - or even death. We shy away from snakes because they could be poisonous. We avoid driving over bridges because they could collapse. So, ultimately, many of our fears come down to our fear of death. And this fear can disrupt the plans God has for our lives. In this message we discover how we can live a life of liberty in Christ - free from the bondage of fear.
Slaying the Giant of Fear Part 1
Tuesday, September 01, 2009 - Tuesday
Did you know that approximately 10% of the world's population has been diagnosed with a phobia at some point in their lives? This persistent, irrational fear is debilitating. But these are obviously extreme cases. Most people don't deal with fear on this level, but it does have a way of forcing its way into our lives. And if we're not careful, fear can take over and dominate our lives in a way God never intended. That's why Dr. Jeremiah is excited to teach us how to overcome our fear with faith in Christ, as he shares his message, "Slaying the Giant of Fear."
Coming At Last To Rome Part 2
Monday, August 31, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever arrived at work without the memory of actually driving there? It's probably because many of us operate on autopilot. We do the ordinary things, those things that have to be done, and think they have little or no spiritual purpose. But in reality, as Christians our lives are a series of trips and destinations planned by God. Will we make the decision to be an active participant in the journey? In his message, "Coming at Last to Rome," Dr. Jeremiah shows us that Paul viewed every trip in his life as an opportunity to share Christ.
Coming At Last To Rome Part 1
Friday, August 28, 2009 - Friday
How many of us have planned a trip with great care and detail only to be disappointed by reality? Our plans don't take into consideration all that can go wrong, like canceled flights, hotels under construction, unseasonable weather, and bad restaurant service. But if we're traveling with the understanding that God is in control, we shouldn't be disappointed. In this message, we'll discover that, just like the apostle Paul, every experience is a God-given opportunity to share the love of Christ with the people we meet.
The Perfect Storm Part 2
Thursday, August 27, 2009 - Thursday
As the young mother waited in the oncologist's office, she began to question her salvation. If she was truly saved, why was she about to hear that the treatment wasn't working - that she would be leaving her two young daughters without a mother? Christians aren't supposed to suffer these types of storms in their lives! But she knew this wasn't true, just as all of us who know God's Word understand that we'll encounter trials in our lives. In this message, we'll learn that even the apostle Paul faced storms in his life.
The Perfect Storm Part 1
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - Wednesday
On May 28th, 2008 an EF 5 tornado tore through the small town of Parkersburg, Iowa. With winds up to two-hundred miles per hour and a twister three-quarters of a mile wide, a young mother and her child were trying to make it home. Knowing it was too late, the mother pulled off the road and headed for a ditch, putting her body over her child for protection. Amazingly, they walked away with only small scrapes. In this message, we'll learn that sometimes God doesn't remove us from the storm, but He does protect us.
Almost Persuaded Part 2
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - Tuesday
It's not very often that you get the opportunity to share God's truth with a captive audience of lost souls. Someone like Billy Graham would understand the feeling. During his lifetime, he ministered to people completely blind to God's truth. Yet, every time he stepped on stage, he spoke with boldness - declaring the name of Jesus Christ. In his message, "Almost Persuaded," Dr. Jeremiah suggests that, perhaps Paul felt the same way as he prepared to meet with King Agrippa - completely committed to sharing the Truth.
Almost Persuaded Part 1
Monday, August 24, 2009 - Monday
How many times have you thought you were finished with a project only to discover there was a portion you hadn't anticipated? It's irritating that we have to go back and revisit a project we thought we had completed. Sometimes God asks us to revisit a task. Just when we think we're finished, He starts another chapter. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah explains how Paul must have felt this same way while trying to free himself from the Roman legal system.
Falsely Accused Part 2
Friday, August 21, 2009 - Friday
Have you ever been treated unfairly by a friend, a family member, or even your church? Well, you're not alone. Most of us have experienced unfair treatment at some point in our lives. The wounds have the potential to leave a lasting negative impression on our lives. Knowing that we live in an unjust and unfair world, how should we respond when we're wrongly treated? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah gives us an outline on how we should react to unfair treatment.
Falsely Accused Part 1
Thursday, August 20, 2009 - Thursday
Did you know that about ten-thousand people in the United States may be wrongfully convicted of a serious crime this year? According to a recent study, the leading cause of this gross injustice is misidentification by eyewitnesses. This is proven in the case of a man serving twenty-five years for a crime he never committed - all because of the account of one witness. It must be heartbreaking to be wrongly accused in this way. In his message, "Falsely Accused," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that God is at work - even in an unfair world.
A More Convenient Time Part 2
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - Wednesday
We can almost all agree that there is nothing worse than a missed opportunity. Maybe it was the business deal you turned down that ended up flourishing. Or it could have been the vacation that you canceled. What about missing a God-given opportunity? Maybe you canceled plans with your friend who needed to hear about Jesus. Or perhaps God was calling you to accept His eternal gift, and you refused. In his message, "A More Convenient Time," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that we never want to miss our God-given opportunities.
A More Convenient Time Part 1
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - Tuesday
If you've ever said, "Oh, I'll take care of that tomorrow," you're not alone. We wait to do the things that seem complicated because we think it will be easier tomorrow. But the reality is that it's not easier tomorrow. In fact, it usually gets more difficult. Many people do this with God. They learn about Jesus and His ability to save them from their sin, but they don't take the next step. In his message, "A More Convenient Time," Dr. Jeremiah gives an example of someone who waited too long to make a decision.
God's Providential Protection
Monday, August 17, 2009 - Monday
Have you ever slept through your alarm? You rush around trying to get ready quickly while running into every possible road block. Finally, you're on the road, coffee in hand, when you realize there's been a major accident - yet another holdup. But did you ever stop to think that maybe you were running late for a reason? Maybe God was protecting you from the serious accident just up ahead. In this message, we learn that even in the smallest details, our protection can be attributed to God's faithfulness.
He Is With Us In the Night
Friday, August 14, 2009 - Friday
How many times have you found yourself in a situation that seemed hopeless? Maybe it was the diagnosis of a serious illness. Or perhaps you had to look on while your child destroyed his life. Did you ever think that the trial was God's purpose for your life? But why would a loving God want us to endure such pain? In his message, "He Is With Us In the Night," Dr. Jeremiah uses Paul as an example of someone who endured destructive circumstances, yet continued to recognize God's presence and depend on His promises.
How to Give Your Testimony Part 2
Thursday, August 13, 2009 - Thursday
People can argue that God isn't real or that Jesus isn't really God, but they can't deny the amazing things God has done in our lives. And there are some powerful testimonies out there. God has saved people from some pretty scary backgrounds. But sometimes that makes us feel like our story isn't worth sharing. That's when we have to remember that we have been transformed. And that's always worth sharing.
How to Give Your Testimony Part 1
Wednesday, August 12, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever think about who you were before you met Christ? If you're truly walking with the Lord and allowing Him to have His way in your life, you probably don't even recognize the person you were before Christ. It's important to remember what the Lord has done, but it's even more important to tell other people about the life-changing truth of Jesus Christ! In this message, Dr. Jeremiah is going to show us that the apostle Paul's testimony is the perfect template for how we can share our story!
Courage Under Fire Part 2
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 - Tuesday
It's hard to go a day without hearing about the wars around our world. Shocking headlines flood the news each day of soldiers putting themselves in harms way. And some of the soldiers even find themselves imprisoned by the enemy. How do they find the courage to continue day after day? Well, the fear these soldiers face is much like the adversity the apostle Paul encountered. In his message, "Courage Under Fire," Dr. Jeremiah explains how Paul was consistent in sharing the Word of God, even during extreme adversity.
Courage Under Fire Part 1
Monday, August 10, 2009 - Monday
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the stresses and trials of life? Sometimes it seems like adversity is around every corner, and it causes us to live in fear. We live in fear of failure. We live in fear of regret. We live in fear of letting God down. So how do we find the God-given courage we need to face these fears? Dr. Jeremiah uses the apostle Paul as an illustration of someone who faced fear with a Spiritual courage that defines bravery.
Three Keys to Effective Ministry Part 2
Friday, August 07, 2009 - Friday
There are a lot of successful people in our world. But have you ever considered that many of them got there the wrong way? They had to lie, cheat, and use people to achieve their illustrious status. They're admired because they're rich and powerful. Sadly, we've forgotten that worldly success isn't the same as godly success. So what does the Bible teach us? How do we know if our ministry is valuable?
Three Keys to Effective Ministry Part 1
Thursday, August 06, 2009 - Thursday
Have you ever had a great plan or idea? We all have, but why do so many of them fail? Maybe we don't have a plan to apply our ideas or the plan isn't focused. Sadly, this even happens in ministry. We have great ideas for sharing God's Word with others, but we don't follow through, or we don't have a plan. So how can we make it happen?
What's Up With Missions? Part 2
Wednesday, August 05, 2009 - Wednesday
Have you ever thought of yourself as a missionary? Most of us would answer a big, "No," to that question. We've never left our family and all the comforts of home to share the Gospel in another country. We've never endured danger while transporting Bibles across a forbidden border. But if you listened when God moved you to share His love with an elderly neighbor or the homeless man outside the store, you are a missionary.
What's Up With Missions? Part 1
Tuesday, August 04, 2009 - Tuesday
What do you think when you hear the names Jim Elliot and Corrie ten Boom? They're both known for different accomplishments, but they share one thing in common - a heart for missions. From remote villages in Ecuador to Nazi concentration camps, they committed their lives to sharing the Gospel - no matter the cost. And God is still calling us to do this today.
The Life God Blesses Part 2
Monday, August 03, 2009 - Monday
Isn't it safe to say that our society is content with mediocrity? We only want to do enough to get by. Regardless of the cause, mediocrity is an epidemic - and we even see it in the Christian community. We show up, give our money, and maybe even volunteer from time to time. But doesn't God want more from us? Of course He does! Using the example of Peter's life, Dr. Jeremiah teaches us how to live a Spirit-filled life - the kind God loves to honor and bless.
The Life God Blesses Part 1
Friday, July 31, 2009 - Friday
As a parent, is there anything you wouldn't do for your child? Even if they make poor choices, parents are there to help them. However, when a child makes good choices, we often go above and beyond to bless them in a special way - rewarding them for doing the right thing. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah shows us that, in the same way, God's blessings come to us like gifts to undeserving children. But we have the choice to live a life that goes beyond initial blessings - the kind of life God loves to bless!
The Church As It Was Meant to Be Part 2
Thursday, July 30, 2009 - Thursday
Home is where the heart is, but our home is not defined by the location of a wooden structure. Home is where we're surrounded by our family and friends, and regardless of geographic location or other amenities, it's the place we want to be. In the same way, our churches aren't about the buildings - they're about the people. In his message, "The Church As It Was Meant to Be," Pastor Jeremiah teaches us that great people make great churches - the churches God intended for us to have!
The Church As It Was Meant to Be Part 1
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - Wednesday
How many of us comment on the fact that things aren't made the way they used to be? From kitchen appliances, to furniture and cars, the quality is not the same. Unfortunately, we have to realize that, in many cases, change is inevitable. But some things are better left alone! And Church is an excellent example. Dr. Jeremiah explains how the early Church - unencumbered by 2,000 years of tradition, ritual, and divisions - is the ideal picture of what Christ desired His Body to be.
The Pray-lude to Power Part 2
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - Tuesday
What would you say is the sign of a successful church? Is it the church that records the most new baptisms, most new members, and significant donations to missions? Or is it the church that has amazing music with messages that make everyone feel good? A successful church might have some or all of these characteristics, but that's not how God defines achievement. In his message, "The Pray-lude to Power," Pastor Jeremiah guides us to the example of a thriving, healthy church - and it's all found in God's Word!
The Pray-lude to Power Part 1
Monday, July 27, 2009 - Monday
Would you agree with the statement, "If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing well"? Most of us like to do things well and even look forward to receiving praise for a job well done. So, as Christians, how are we doing when it comes to church? We're doing it, but are we doing it well? Hundreds of books exist on the topic, but how do we know if we're doing it right? Dr. Jeremiah directs us to God's Word for all our answers surrounding the Church. It is, and always will be, our ultimate authority.
Worshiping God by Name Part 1
Friday, July 24, 2009 - Friday
Nicknames are a part of almost every family. We rename our loved ones to shorten a long name or highlight a character trait that we find endearing. Regardless of the motivation, it's done in love. Similarly, the people of the Old Testament often gave God a special name to symbolize the work He had done in their lives. Dr. Jeremiah unfolds the significance of these names and how we can use them to celebrate God in his message, "Worshipping in the Name of God."
Intersections of Prayer Part 2
Thursday, July 23, 2009 - Thursday
Why is learning to play an instrument so hard? Whether it's the piano, cello, or trombone, it demands practice to develop your skill. And once you learn how to play, you must continue to practice in order to maintain the talents you worked so diligently to acquire. But all your efforts are worth it when you're able to create beautiful music. In his message, "Intersections of Prayer," Pastor Jeremiah suggests that growth in our prayer lives requires the same discipline that's required to develop any skill.
Intersections of Prayer Part 1
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 - Wednesday
Can you remember learning to ride a bike? What a memorable experience! Starting with training wheels gave us needed balance. Eventually, we decided that the training wheels must go. That first ride was a bit shaky, and we may have even needed some help getting started, but in time we were finally on our own. In this message, we'll discover that learning to pray is a similar process. At first we need a little guidance and practice. But soon enough we're on our own - communicating with our Heavenly Father.
The Doxology of Prayer
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - Tuesday
Are you aware that all stories, books or movies, have a plot? In the beginning, the characters and setting are established. Soon we have some sort of conflict that needs resolution, and that problem leads to the climax. Imagine the story ending at the critical point in the conflict. We would be so frustrated because a story is nothing without the resolution. In his message, "The Doxology of Prayer," Dr. Jeremiah discusses how even prayers need an ending - a button to conclude our conversation with God.
Prayer and Protection Part 2
Monday, July 20, 2009 - Monday
If you are known to research a product for months before buying it, you're not alone. In fact, many of us need proof before we can buy into something. Thankfully, we can hold to the same standard in our Christian walk. We know we can call on God to deliver us in our time of need because He's already proven Himself. He demonstrated His faithfulness with David, Noah, Joseph, Paul, and the list goes on. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah explains that God is a God who delivers. He knows how to do it if we'll just ask!
Prayer and Protection Part 2
Friday, July 17, 2009 - Friday
Do you think it's dangerous to walk alone down a dark street at night? How about driving at perilous speeds on a motorcycle without wearing a helmet? Of course these are risky situations, but they're also preventable. But there are many hazards that await us despite our attempts to avoid them. In fact, it's safe to say that danger envelops us like land mines along our path. In this message, Pastor Jeremiah instructs us on how to pray a prayer of protection for each day.
Prayer and Protection Part 1
Thursday, July 16, 2009 - Thursday
Do you remember the hymn, "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing"? We can all relate to the profound line that declares, "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love." Yes, in our flesh we are likely to stray from God's ways. But most of don't set out to lose our way. So how do we avoid the snares that draw us away from the God we love? In his message "Prayer and Protection: Part I" Pastor Jeremiah points out our susceptibility to temptation and our need to ask God to protect our hearts and our minds.
Prayer and Protection Part 1
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - Wednesday
Do you ever feel like temptations are surrounding you? Doughnuts at work, fast food on every corner, and brownies at Bible study. But food temptations are probably the least of our worries. Temptations concerning money, pride, and idolatry are waiting to destroy us. And we think we can avoid these pitfalls on our own! In this message, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that it's okay to admit to God that we're weak and need His strength to protect us. In fact, it's these prayers that will shelter us from temptation.
Prayer and Personal Relationships Part 2
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - Tuesday
The story of Joseph is one of the greatest illustrations of forgiveness in the Bible. If anyone had the right to be bitter, it was Joseph. Thanks to the jealousy of his brothers, Joseph spent his life as a servant in Egypt. Yet, when his brothers came to him in need, Joseph embraced them with unconditional love - no hard feelings, no resentment. Now that's forgiveness. In his message, "Prayer and Personal Relationships," Dr. Jeremiah explains God's desire for us to forgive others, just as He, in Christ, forgave us.
Prayer and Personal Relationships Part 1
Monday, July 13, 2009 - Monday
How would you define "forgiveness"? It's pretty safe to say that the world's description of forgiveness is not the same as God's. The world tells us it's okay to harbor resentment toward a coworker who is known to gossip and might encourage us to be bitter toward an unfaithful spouse. At first, it feels right - they deserve our hatred. But conflict among His children was never in God's plan. In this message, we discover what Jesus teaches us about prayer and forgiveness.
The Prayer for Provision Part 2
Friday, July 10, 2009 - Friday
Has there ever been a time when future uncertainties caused you to panic? We live in a very forward-thinking, "I want it now" society. In fact, if we look six months into the future and think that we might have a need - we panic. We want to know, right now, exactly how that need will be met. But is that how God wants us to react? In his message "The Prayer for Provision" from his current series Prayer - The Great Adventure, Dr. Jeremiah helps us to understand what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread".
The Prayer for Provision Part 1
Thursday, July 09, 2009 - Thursday
Do we really understand the difference between the words, "want" and "need"? Our society tends to confuse the two terms, and this misunderstanding can even find its way into our spiritual lives. We begin to offer self-centered prayers about our unhappiness, our unmet wants, and our need for a vacation. It can be surprising to discover what the Bible really teaches on the subject. Dr. Jeremiah helps us to understand the definition of need so that we can recognize God's provisions in our lives.
Praying Our Priorities Part 2
Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - Wednesday
Does it surprise you that most Christians go through transitions in their prayer life? As new believers, we're excited at the opportunity to talk with God. But if we aren't careful, our prayer time can become an obligation. Then, before we know it, we're faced with a trial and we need to pray and seek answers from our Heavenly Father. In his message, "Praying Our Priorities," Pastor Jeremiah teaches us that prayer is essential in attaining God's best for our lives and aligning His priorities with our own.
Praying Our Priorities Part 1
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - Tuesday
Have you ever felt like there's too many things on your "to do" list? Do feel like there's never enough time? We've all felt this way, and it means we have to prioritize our list based on importance. Many times it's not a choice between good and bad - it's usually a choice between good and better. So how do we determine what our priorities should be? In this message, Dr. Jeremiah suggests that we have to ask God to make His priorities our priorities, because His ways far surpass our own!
Hallowed Be Thy Name Part 2
Monday, July 06, 2009 - Monday
As children go through school, they often ask the question, "When will we ever use this information?" Although some concepts appear to have no purpose for future use, there are skills we learn in school that are applicable to everyday life, and they're essential to our success! In this message, Pastor Jeremiah highlights a specific phrase from the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be Thy name." This expression demonstrates that we are to worship God because, someday, that will be our eternal occupation.
Hallowed Be Thy Name Part 1
Friday, July 03, 2009 - Friday
Why do you think names bear such significant meaning? Parents will spend extensive time choosing the perfect name for their child, but isn't the person behind the name much more significant? Of course the character is more important. And that is essential when we honor God with our prayers. In his message, "Hallowed Be Thy Name," Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that when we honor the name of the Lord in our prayers, it's not really about the name. Instead, we're honoring the One the name represents.
The Relationship of Prayer Part 2
Thursday, July 02, 2009 - Thursday
Would it surprise you to know that seventy percent of U.S. prison inmates come from fatherless homes? It's sad, but the fact is that many children today are growing up without a dad. Thankfully, God has made it possible for us to be adopted into His family through His Son Jesus Christ. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah is excited to share his message titled, "The Relationship of Prayer." This message reminds us that we can have a deep and meaningful prayer life, and it begins with, "Our Father."
The Relationship of Prayer Part 1
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - Wednesday
Depending upon our relationship with our dad, it may be difficult to understand the connection a father can share with his child. Whether it's time spent together making something in the garage or weekend fishing trips to the lake, the greatest part about a dedicated father is that he is always there to listen. And that is especially true with our Father in Heaven. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah emphasizes the personal connection we share with God in his message, "The Relationship of Prayer."
Prayer, Pagans, and Pretenders
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - Tuesday
Whether it's a family member or a best friend, we all need someone to confide in. These people we hold so dear, will they always be there? Can they uphold us through every trial? No! But God knows us, loves us, and He wants us to talk with Him. He's always there to listen.
Prayer, Pagans, and Pretenders
Monday, June 29, 2009 - Monday
While growing up and going to school, most of us wanted to do well. So nothing was more frustrating than the teacher who gave us an assignment without explaining how to do it. As Christians, God commands us to pray, and He also tells us how to do it!
The Real Holy War
Friday, June 26, 2009 - Friday
Aside from the devil, we wrestle with the world and our flesh. Satan attacks us individually, the flesh assaults us through our inward desires, and the world defiles through influences that are around us.
The Real Holy War
Thursday, June 25, 2009 - Thursday
A quarterback has to execute a play while evaluating the presence of defenders, all within a matter of seconds. If he focuses on one defender for too long, he'll get hit! Many of us focus on Satan and forget that our flesh is our most precarious enemy.
Praying Always with Prayer
Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - Wednesday
If we were honest, we would admit that prayer is a constant challenge in our lives. How do we find the time to do it well? We make it a lifestyle that leads to victory rather than an activity on our "to do" list!
Praying Always with Prayer
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - Tuesday
Fuel is an important aspect of life. We know that our physical bodies need healthy food and plenty of rest. But how do we rejuvenate our spiritual bodies? Prayer! It's the only thing to fuel us through the spiritual battle of life.
The Sword of the Spirit
Monday, June 22, 2009 - Monday
During World War II, the men of Easy Company went to Bastogne with minimal ammunition. They had to be very strategic and skilled to use it wisely. As Christians, our ammunition is God's Word. Just having it isn't enough. We have to know how to use it!
Father-On-Earth As It Is In Heaven
Friday, June 19, 2009 - Friday
According to a 2005 poll of favorite TV dads, Cliff Huxtable, Sheriff Andy Taylor, and Charles Ingalls are the top three fathers of all time. It's no wonder that dads often feel intimidated. How do you become a good dad? By observing God - the ultimate Father!
Father-On-Earth As It Is In Heaven
Thursday, June 18, 2009 - Thursday
We've all seen instances of inadequate fathers. Even the Bible gives us plenty of examples. So what does it mean to be an excellent dad? Well, God's Word gives us an obvious example for those of us who are willing to dig deep enough.
The Sword of the Spirit
Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - Wednesday
Defense is the key to winning games, but it's impossible to win games exclusively through defense. A team has to score points to win. In our spiritual battle, God has given us several ways to guard ourselves. But we also need a weapon - God's Word!
The Helmet of Salvation
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - Tuesday
The human brain is an amazing organ. It makes up only a small percentage of our entire body, but it is responsible for most of our bodily functions. As Christians, our minds are constantly in danger. Our only hope is to protect our minds with the wisdom of Christ!
The Helmet of Salvation
Monday, June 15, 2009 - Monday
Whether we're biking, skating, or spelunking, a helmet is essential. But guarding our head physically is not nearly as important as protecting it spiritually. One of Satan's greatest tactics is to penetrate our mind. Only with the helmet of salvation can we stand against him.
The Shield of Faith
Friday, June 12, 2009 - Friday
Many of us remember the story of King Ahab. He went to battle without his shield and was left vulnerable to attack. Much like King Ahab, we are in a battle, and our enemy can see all the gaps in our armor. We must use the shield of faith to protect us!
The Shield of Faith
Thursday, June 11, 2009 - Thursday
Some people place their faith in friends and family, while others find hope in their occupations. But can that faith deliver us in times of despair? Only faith in Jesus Christ is sufficient to uphold us through life's trials!
The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - Wednesday
If given the chance, most children would remain barefoot all day long. Yet, as parents, we know our children need shoes to protect their feet. As Christians, we need shoes as well - the shoes of the Gospel of peace.
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - Tuesday
Our lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and skin are components that are vital to the proper functioning of our bodies. But all systems depend upon the heart. Although it is critical to protect our heart physically, we must also protect it spiritually.
The Breastplate of Righteousness
Monday, June 08, 2009 - Monday
Many activities and professions require protective gear. Without this equipment, people would be susceptible to injury. As Christians, wearing the breastplate of righteousness reflects our commitment to Christ. Without it, we are vulnerable to spiritual attacks.
The Girdle of Truth
Friday, June 05, 2009 - Friday
Peanut butter and jelly. Ketchup and mustard. Adam and Eve. Certain things in life just go together. In fact, each piece depends upon the other to be complete. As Christians, it's sobering to recognize that the Word of God is deeply related to truth, which is the reality of life.
The Girdle of Truth
Thursday, June 04, 2009 - Thursday
Our society wants truth to be subjective - to conform to the popular thought of the moment. But there is truth that is unchanging - it comes from God's Word! It's by having a heart and mind centered on His truth that we are prepared for our daily battle.
Identifying the Enemy
Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - Wednesday
Being tenacious and strong are valuable attributes, but they can also get us into a lot of trouble. We get the idea that there is something we can do to withstand the enemy. Our only hope is to put on the armor of Christ. He will fight our battles for us.
Identifying the Enemy
Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - Tuesday
Almost every country in the world has some form of national intelligence organization. Why do these countries need intelligence? They need to be informed, primarily about their enemies. Information equals strength and safety.
Are We Really in a War?
Monday, June 01, 2009 - Monday
Avoidance is a popular theme. We even do it with our Christian walk by actively ignoring the reality of Satan. Whether it's evasion or indifference, we haven't taken the time to equip ourselves against the evil powers of this world.

What to Do When Your Tongue Isn't Tied Part 2
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - Wednesday
A knife can be used in many ways. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it can save a life. But it could cause tremendous destruction in the wrong hands. Our tongue could be placed in much the same category. It can be used to praise God and encourage others. However, it is often used in a hurtful, irreparable way.
What to Do When Your Tongue Isn't Tied
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - Tuesday
Imagine eating salad. You pick up the dressing, but as you begin pouring, a huge amount comes running out and destroys the meal. Our speech can be like the dressing. We say more than we should, or we say the wrong thing. Once it is said, we can apologize, but we can never completely repair the situation.
What to Do When Faith Doesn't Work Part 2
Monday, May 11, 2009 - Monday
We are a society that thrives on mediocrity. Tell us what to do, and we'll do it - but not any more. Gone are the days when students look forward to college for all that they will learn. Now it is just a means to an end. As mediocre Christians, it is enough that we are saved by faith alone.
The Influence of a Godly Woman
Friday, May 08, 2009 - Friday
Women shudder when someone refers to Proverbs 31. No one can measure up to the standards of that amazing woman. Yet we realize that the women in our lives are doing all that and so much more. In fact, it's impossible to calculate the influence Godly women have on society, in churches, and in homes.

What To Do When Wrong Seems Right
Thursday, April 30, 2009 - Thursday
We inherit many things from our families. Whatever it may be, we have it because we're connected to those people. In much the same manner, we face temptation simply because we belong to God. But if we keep our eyes on Christ, we don't have to be victims.
What To Do When Wrong Seems Right
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - Wednesday
Whether it's a bag of cookies or a negative conversation, we are all tempted. In fact, the old gag line says, "I can resist anything but temptation." It's true! Temptations cannot always be resisted, but they can be overcome if we understand the source.
What To Do When the Heat's Turned Up
Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - Tuesday
Our society thrives on instant gratification. We want to be patient and mature in Christ, but we certainly don't want to experience a trial to obtain patience. But it is through trials that God is able to prepare us for the journey ahead.
What To Do When the Heat's Turned Up
Monday, April 27, 2009 - Monday
You're in your car, driving home from work, when you're struck by another car. For weeks you replay the event, but you realize it was out of your control. Many things in life are beyond our power.
The Last Word from Daniel
Friday, April 24, 2009 - Friday
As Christians, we spend a lot of time studying prophecy. But why does God want us to have this information? God gave it to us to remind us to get busy and go about His appointed tasks for the kingdom. We have a responsibility to share Christ with the lost!
The Last Word from Daniel
Thursday, April 23, 2009 - Thursday
It is no secret that we are experiencing difficult times. But Daniel has an important lesson for us - God is in control. Nothing happens by accident before God. If Daniel could believe this with confidence through all his trials, we can apply it to our lives today!
Resurrection and Reward
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 - Wednesday
Our society is so engrossed in celebrities. But the people we call "stars" in our culture are famous for a moment, then forgotten. Greatness in God's eyes is attributed to those who humbly point others to Jesus. We have a God in heaven who never forgets what we do!
Resurrection and Reward
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 - Tuesday
We've all been there - totally engrossed in a book. We can't tear ourselves away. We have to know how it ends! Reading the Book of Daniel is like that.
The Battle of Armageddon
Monday, April 20, 2009 - Monday
It seems as though much of our lives is preparation. God is also committed to preparation. The newspaper reveals God's preparation for the End Times. He is getting everything in order. He is getting everything set, so at the right moment it can all happen!
The Battle of Armageddon
Friday, April 17, 2009 - Friday
The young contestants of beauty pageants often make speeches about spreading world peace. It is interesting as you look back through history and realize there has never been a subject more prominent. Wars will continue to build - leading up to the Battle of Armageddon.
The Message the Demons Fought Over
Thursday, April 16, 2009 - Thursday
Why do we study history? There is a greater reason than academic development: History reveals an accurate fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. If God has been shown accurate in the past prophecies, we can trust he will be precise in the future.
The Message the Demons Fought Over
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 - Wednesday
Satan has many tactics when it comes to distracting God's people. In fact, he will use his best schemes to keep God's encouraging truth from reaching us. Thankfully, God's Word will always prevail.
Daniel and the Demons
Tuesday, April 14, 2009 - Tuesday
We often think of prayer as being directed to a person, but it can also act as a weapon against someone. Daniel recognized this and his consistent prayer was used as a weapon for the Angel of God to defeat the Prince of Persia.
Daniel and the Demons
Monday, April 13, 2009 - Monday
It's easy to grow discouraged when we look at our world today. Daniel felt this way as he watched his people return to the ways that caused them to fall into captivity in the first place - so he prayed.
The Resurrection People
Friday, April 10, 2009 - Friday
As a society, we fear death. For many it is certainly apprehension of the unknown. However, for those of us who know Christ, the resurrection gives us hope. When Jesus came out of the grave that day, He not only conquered death, He removed the term from our vocabulary!
The Resurrection People
Thursday, April 09, 2009 - Thursday
Imagine putting yourself in the shoes of those present during the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord! It would help us to better understand the magnitude of what happened.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part III
Wednesday, April 08, 2009 - Wednesday
Sometimes when events occur in our lives, we cannot see the purpose in them. But God is at work, even when we can't understand what He is doing. Five different times God sent a message to Daniel through the angel Gabriel. God did this to show that He cares about His people.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part III
Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - Tuesday
Many of us view prophecy as an abstract, perplexing concept. But this was not God's intent. His prophecies were written to inform and encourage us, that we might comprehend God's wonderful plan for the ages.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: Part II
