3 John "Walking in Truth and Humility"
John's third epistle, written to a son in the faith named Gaius, provides for us three character sketches to learn from. John expresses his joy that is a result of Gaius' faith in action.

1 Corinthians Intro (Acts 18:1-11) "Welcome to Corinth"
Paul arrives in Corinth, the sin city of Ancient Rome, with one goal - to preach the Gospel. He did not allow the sinful culture around him to determine his message or his way of living, rather, he saw himself as a light in the midst of darkness. God did wonderful things at Corinth, and the same God will do wonderful things today when His people will get serious about living and preaching the Gospel to those around them. Support the show...

1 Samuel 27-30 "Freed from the Frying Pan, into the Fire"
David life hits rock-bottom when he returns from battle to find his family and the families of all of his men have been taken as slaves by their enemies. Everyone blames David, but his response is not one of despair, because David encourages himself in the only One who never fails - his God. Believers today serve the same God and have the same High Priest available to them any time they are in need. Support the show

2 John "Walking in Truth and Love"
2 John is a short letter addressing a real life concern that the apostle John has for "the elect lady and her children". In this letter, we are reminded that truth and love are indivisible. Biblical love is founded upon truth; biblical truth will stimulate love. We are called to act in a way that is in accordance with true doctrine; in a way that is loving in the truest sense of the word. Support the show

Acts 27:27-44 "The Unlikely Dissemination of Grace"
God's grace is a marvelous thing, but at times, it comes to us in uncomfortable ways. This life is filled with trials and although they are never easy, it is in the storms that we see the grace of God work mightily in our lives. Storms take us to a place we would not go on our own to make us into something that we cannot become on our own. Support the show

1 Samuel 24 "Don't You Hate Those Charmin Bears?"
David's self-discipline is evident in this passage as he is given the opportunity once again to end the life of Saul, but instead he obeys God's Word and allows Saul to live. Rather than seeking the easy road or the short-cut, David knows his path to the throne must be one of discipline and obedience to God. Believers today ought to follow David's example.

Acts 27:13-25 "Euroclydon Smackdown"
Luke's detailed account of Paul's journey to Rome continues as the ship is battered by a terrible wind called Euroclydon. The conditions become so terrible that every man on the ship save Paul is sure they are going to die. It is at this time of despair that God uses the faith and testimony of the Apostle Paul to show these men how great Paul's God truly is. God often uses our poor decisions and our sinful actions to reveal to us His glory as well! Support the show...

1 Samuel 21 "This Guy is Crazy"
David's life was threatened by King Saul so many times that he finally resorted to something terribly foolish - to attempt to live in Gath, a city of the Philistines. Unfortunately, when he arrived, he was recognized, and upon meeting the King, David acted like he was mad. Through all these circumstances in David's life, we see God protecting and shaping the King He wants David to be. Support the show

Acts 27:1-12 "We're All Gonna Crash!"
Paul's maiden voyage to Rome is filled with storms and shipwreck. In Luke's detailed account we see man's frailty and God's sovereignty on full display. Paul is not in control of his circumstances, but with the help of his co-prisoners, Luke and Aristarchus, he trusts the God who sent the storm and rules over it. So should we, as we encounter life's storms, trust our Father to use them for our good and His glory. Support the show

1 Samuel 15 "What is Your Life's Trajectory?"
Saul was given many opportunities to serve the Lord in wonderful ways. When he sinned, God offered him many chances to repent. Sadly, the trajectory of Saul's life was one of constant disobedience and sin. The question for us is not whether or not we sin, we all do, the question is; when we sin, do we dismiss it like Saul, or are we broken and repentant like David? Support the show

Acts 26:1-32 "A Lesson in Persuasive Evangelism"
The New Testament is filled with commands for believers to be witnesses to the gospel along with instructions on how to be that light effectively. In this wonderful story, Paul does not tell us how to evangelize persuasively, rather he exemplifies it for us. His respectfulness, transparency, honesty, confidence and willingness to suffer are all essential ingredients for us if we hope to effectively engage our culture with the gospel. Support the show...

Understanding these tremendous truths ought to create radical faith in each of us. Support the show...

Acts 26:24-32 "Reality Check"
Paul, like many believers sold-out for the gospel throughout the centuries, was labelled as crazy by the Roman Procurator, Festus. Yet in this clash of worldviews, Paul argues that his belief in a resurrected Christ and his life's devotion to Him is not insane, but rather based in truth and reason. In Paul's worldview, living for the temporal was insane because eternity is real - where do we stand? Support the show
