Episode 785: The Lines Are Open
2w ago00:43:43Tap to summarizeAs we look for clarity in discerning the will and leading of the Lord, how can we ensure that we're in position to hear Him, and are willing to obey without hesitation? Through multiple texts, we see that confessing sin thoroughly establishes the foundation, so we can be sacrificial with our plans, yielded and confident in the Lord's help, and content with whatever He knows is best for us.

Episode 784: Do I Make Myself Clear?
3w ago00:42:43Tap to summarizeAs disciples of Jesus Christ, we often look for clarity about His will and leading. But there are foundational values--Conviction, Conscience, Character and Communication--that we also must be clear about, which give us certainty, confidence and an effective ministry. Not only do we crave these in our own lives, but how we live them out has a tremendous impact on all those around us.

Episode 783: Sweating The Small Stuff
Jul 700:48:14Tap to summarizeAfter David's major sin, he was deeply broken, but counted on the zeal of the Lord to forgive and cleanse him, But that wasn't license to sin more, it was a reminder to be honest, humble and aggressive against further sin. Psalm 51 is an important call for us to have to approach with even the "little", everyday offenses that we may not take as seriously. The Lord wants to teach us wisdom, and we will learn that more as we ask Him to cleanse us, keep us close to Him and make us consistent.

Episode 782: Watch Your Mouth!
Jul 700:47:01Tap to summarizeWhat we say can either escalate or de-escalate a conversation and relationship, depending on our word choice, tone, attitude and body language. Are we refreshing--trying to promote truth, wisdom and calm, or depressing--wounding people and breaking their spirit? Instead of causing strife, we need to guard our mouths, and have a heart and mouth that advances righteousness.

Episode 782: Voice Of Reason
Jul 700:42:46Tap to summarizeAfter 40 years of living in the wilderness with his in-laws, Moses went back to Egypt and brought Israel out. Though his father in-law almost certainly has plenty of objections, he sensed the Lord's leading and yielded to it. When Moses came back with the people, he then spoke truth in love, challenging Moses to be wise in his actions. His faith, wisdom and boldness are an example of the powerful encouragement and influence we can have on others.

Episode 781: Shouting In The Tents
Jun 1500:36:11Tap to summarizePsalm 118 is the center chapter in the Bible, and is full of praise, thanks and victory as it points toward Jesus and the Gospel. Within it are 6 powerful truths that call believers to remember all that He has done in our lives--salvation, strength, righteousness, mighty things and even discipline. Our response can only be "joyful shouting", not only to show our unashamed gratitude, but also to lead others to know how wonderful the Lord is.

Episode 780: A Fresh Work
Jun 1000:45:57Tap to summarizeWe tend to remember people and events with an emotional bias--either idealizing how things were, or overemphasizing negative experiences. We usually do that latter out of fear or incomplete faith, and that can make us discontented. So while Isaiah told Judah they would go into captivity, he also assured them the Lord would eventually bring them back and restore them. Remembering the Lord's goodness changes our perspective about the future, and fills us with confident hope and stirs us to seek Him to do a fresh work.

Episode 779: Protecting Valuable Covenants
Jun 101:02:27Tap to summarizeThere are important parallels between the covenant in our relationship with the Lord as believers, and the marriage covenant. In both cases, lack of commitment and infidelity will severely damage the health of the relationship. So it is vital that we are unwavering in the exclusivity of our love and devotion in both, while holding a holy jealousy that nothing will steal our heart away.

Episode 778: Answering The Call
Jun 100:35:21Tap to summarizeEvery believer has a calling from the Lord, whether our daily commitment, short-term or full time. So it's vital that we are able to discern the Lord's hand and leading, and be willing to pivot to serve Him. That may be uncomfortable, but like Elisha, our response needs to be immediate and joyfully sacrificial, because the Lord will use us in a powerful way when it is.
