Room 4216

Before Simon and Jude were apostles, they were part of an extreme militaristic group. Once they met Jesus, Simon and Jude remained full of zeal but no longer to overthrow the government. Listen to learn what they did for the Lord.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

We finish our look at Peter and then consider three more apostles; Andrew James the lesser and James the greater These are four different people with four different personalities. Even so they all served Jesus with their different gifts.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

Jesus chose 12 men from the disciples to be apostles. So who is Peter? What did he do? How does his life help my life?Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

Jesus ministry was not just about miracles and healings. In fact these point to and supported his teachings. Today’s teaching reminds us not to institutionalize religion. When we do we forget the real point of religion; to know God and to have eternal life.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry he was baptized. At the end of Jesus’ ministry he commanded his followers to baptize those who became his disciples or followers. So what is baptism. How, when, where, why and who should be baptized? Today’s lesson considers all sides of these questions.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

It is those amazing or surprising events that are remembered and recorded. Every day things often go unnoticed. So it was with Jesus. Today’s lesson looks at when he was 12 years old and the beginning of his ministry. And yes there are some amazing and surprising things about these events.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

The spiritual world announced the birth of Jesus as savior by the angels speaking to shepherds. Did you know that there were three earthly events that also pointed to and proclaimed Jesus as the savior? Today’s lesson looks at these.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2019

The savior is born in Bethlehem. This is the Christmas story. People and cultures celebrate this in many different ways. We asked you, the listener, from all around the country, to share your traditions of Christmas. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Old cars, old furniture, old coins, are desired and liked by collectors. New phones, new clothes, new songs, are preferred and looked for by most people. Old verses new; a contrast of things. But how about when it comes to how we are saved; the old or the new way? This is the clash in our Gospel lesson. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

In the Bible stories we read today, Jesus did several miraculous things. It did not please all the people then. Certainly this does connect to us today when God does things with which we do not agree. We invite you to listen and consider. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

People were not always pleased with Jesus as he threatened their comfortable lives. So who did he please? In today’s lesson we read about Jesus coming face to face with the demons and the dark world. Yes he won the showdown, but what about today? Are demons ever confused with mental illness? Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

In today’s lesson we read about Jesus coming home. The town’s people knew Jesus and his family. They saw him grow up. More than likely, they were proud of this local boy. This homecoming didn’t turn out very well. Join us and learn why and how it also benefited you. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Do we know much about Luke, the writer of the Gospel? And if we do, does this help us understand better what he was writing? And why did he write this book anyway?Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Listeners sent in letters with challenging questions about the great commission. “With the declining state of churches why would we want to invite people to come?” Today’s lesson discusses this question and other listener questions. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Jesus gave his followers “The great commission”. A commission is a command to act in a prescribed manner or to perform prescribed acts with the authority and power to do so. Today’s lesson discusses this command and why it was given. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Joseph’s actions as governor in Egypt were planned out with a purpose. Today we learn what this plan was. We also learn that our lives are one part of God’s larger plan and purpose.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Hunger drives people to do things they really don’t want to do. The quest for food becomes consuming. Today we read about Joseph who came to power and is consumed with something; but what?Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Today’s lesson is more than “poor boy makes it good”. It is true that Joseph went from prison to the palace. Yet there is much more. Listen to learn how the story relates to you.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

Hardship and suffering is part of life. Whether rich or poor, young or old, knowledgeable or simple, morally good or bad, difficulties will come. If this is the case with what are we left?Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018

In the midst of many sinful people we have read how Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had faith in God. We have also read how sinful people impacted them to do sin as well. In today’s lesson we hear about Jacob’s children. It starts out bad but we shall learn how God brings good out of the bad.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2018
