Our Wonderful Counselor - Audio
30/11/2008 Duration: 32minMany people don't do what their doctors or counselors suggest. It's a terrible mistake to treat Jesus in the same way. Whenever he gives advice it is for our healing. From now on we need to listen and do what our Wonderful Counselor says.

Behold Your King - Audio
23/11/2008 Duration: 31minIt is time to trade in our childish view of Jesus, meek and mild, for the adult vision of Jesus the conquering King.
-
Overcoming Impossibilities - Audio
18/11/2008 Duration: 25minWe come to Jesus with our list of recommended solutions and timetables for each impossible situation. We act as though He needs our advice, as though we have the wisdom and He has the power, as though we're the brains and He's the brawn. But that's crazy talk. We create many of the impossible problems we face with our shortsightedness and mistakes. We can no more be the brains behind solving them than we can be the brawn. We must come to Jesus with Mary's attitude. “Lord, I am your servant. Meet this need with your wisdom, power and love.”

Faith That Keeps Going and Going - Audio
18/11/2008 Duration: 35minWe tend to see the life of faith as a series of 100-yard dashes - short emergencies requiring bursts of faith. For example, an illness crashes in on a loved one and we try to summon up faith for healing. However, the life of faith is a life-long marathon calling us to believe in Jesus' power and wisdom, to trust in Jesus' character and love as well as to follow Him loyally.
-
Forgiven Faith - Audio
12/10/2008 Duration: 37minEvery single human being is spiritually dead. In our self-sufficient delusions, we think we can make things right. But dead people don't accomplish anything. Our only hope is God's simple promise of forgiveness for all our sins.
-
Faith Under Authority - Audio
05/10/2008 Duration: 26minSome doubts lead to deeper faith. This kind of doubt is acceptable to God. It asks, "How can this happen?" However, we must avoid the kind of doubt that leads to disbelief and sin. It asks, "Why should I believe you?" Doubts and questions that deepen our faith (creating greater belief and trust in, as well as loyalty to the Lord) are good for us. Doubts and questions that decrease our faith (creating greater disbelief, distrust and disloyalty to the Lord) are spiritually deadly. The difference is whether we are willing to come under God's authority with our doubts and questions unanswered or not.

Scoring at Homeplate - Audio
28/09/2008 Duration: 30minWe like to think we are playing the ball game of life on our terms with our own team. However, there are only two teams in life- God's play by the rules team & Satan's make up your own rules team. These are our only options. God invites us to sign up with his team.

The Silent Killer - Audio
01/06/2008 Duration: 27minWe always underestimate the deceptiveness of our hearts. We live in denial all the time. We assume that since we feel good about our lives then we must be doing OK. But "The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I know! I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve." (Jeremiah 17:9-10 NLT) We must ask the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and allow Him to expose all our secret offensive, hurtful, wicked ways.

HEAVEN: What is it like? What makes it heavenly? - Audio
02/12/2007 Duration: 30minWe humans tend to think of heaven as a vastly improved earth with all of the fun and none of the problems. We seldom mention God in our descriptions, but He is the focal point of heaven. It is God' perfect holy place, designed for His global family reunion. We will meet brothers and sisters from "every tribe and language and people and nation" (Revelation 5:9 NIV).
-
HEAVEN: Where is it? How can we get there? - Audio
25/11/2007 Duration: 33minWe tend to think heaven is a place to go when we die - that it's all "by and by in the sky". However, we can begin to experience heaven here and now because it is wherever God is; and Jesus said, "All those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and live with them." We can also share a little bit of heaven with others.

Finding the Gate to Jesus' Joy - Audio
18/11/2007 Duration: 34minGod wants us to look inside ourselves because there's something going on beneath the surface. If we're going to find the joy of the Lord, we're going to have to look inside. We often try to avoid the pain, shame and/or guilt we might uncover but if we want to experience joy, we must take a hard look at our hearts. It may be painful to look at the parts of our past we want to ignore and avoid, but honesty is the gate to the joy of the Lord.
-
Pray First - Audio
11/11/2007 Duration: 19minGod urges His family first of all to pray. But He doesn't make prayer easy. His instructions specify that as Christians we are to pray for everyone.
-
Let Go - Audio
04/11/2007 Duration: 36minYou can learn to let go by giving God your desire for comfort, security and control. Let Him replace it with the reality of His presence.
-
Recognizing Our Enemy - Audio
14/10/2007 Duration: 32minNo matter how strong our faith may appear and no matter how firm our commitment feels, our faith can be shipwrecked. That is Satan's goal for us. He wants to destroy us. But God has exposed our enemy's plans and purposes.
