Who Do You Believe More: God or the Devil?

Who do you believe more: God or the devil? That is such an outrageous question. Of course, we believe God more than the devil. Or do we? In this podcast, I am going to address a concern I have for many in the body of Christ. I see many believers trying to become something that they already are. They are trying to get something that has already been given to them. Or said another way, they are trying to earn what God has already freely given them. Come along with me as we talk about who we are as children of God and how to walk it out.

If you were God, how would you introduce your Son to this world?

If you were God, how would you have introduced Jesus, the Messiah, Your Son to this world? I don’t think most of us would have done it the way that God did it on that very first Christmas. We might have orchestrated a large scale dramatic production to introduce the most important person in history. I would have put all of the glory and splendor of heaven on display that would have made Hollywood pale in comparison. But that is not how God chose to introduce His Son. In this podcast I am going to attempt to show the humble and lowly birth of Jesus and give some reasons why He came to earth in this way.

Ever Increasing Faith

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We all know this verse out of Hebrews 11, but what is faith? Is faith a feeling that motivates us to live a certain way?
