Many people have experienced periods of “Health Issues” or are now facing such troubles. In this episode I share a portion of my own journey and what I have learned. While a person is weak with pain, they may be distracted to dangers they otherwise would beware of. While in the midst of excruciating nerve pain, I turned to comfort foods, therefore entering a terrible spiral of increased health issues and pain. Have you been there, too? Here, I share how the Lord turned it around. Video https://y...

Where does your “Peace Within” come from and how long will it last? The world may tell you that you bring yourself your own peace, but that peace is temporary at best. Scriptures tell us Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and once a believer receives His peace, it stays with you forever.

With so much happening in today’s world, many people may suffer from depression. Here, we find a valid option to become “Depressed No More.” Through my own crisis with chronic depression I learned to always, whatever the circumstances or challenges faced, to turn to God about it. Only the Creator of the Universe with an abundant love could bring comfort. Whether there’s quick resolution or He strengthens one through it, He is well able, and with a good plan.

In today’s episode, “Faithful Servants,” we study the parable of the ten talents or gold coins, found in Matthew 25:14-30. This parable exemplifies that we’re to utilize the unique talents, abilities, and gifts the Lord has given each of us.

Half of the virgins ensured they had sufficient oil for their lamps while they waited for the bridegroom and the other half did not. All the virgins were asleep when the bridegroom arrived, but those who had prepared went with him. The others missed that opportunity. Is there unfinished business to attend to? None of us knows the exact day or hour when Jesus is coming again, but it’s sooner th...

In today’s episode, “Good vs. Evil,” we study the parable of the faithful servant vs. the wicked servant, found in Matthew 24: 42-51. These verses emphasize that we have choices with an unknown time limit. We don’t know when Jesus comes, so typically believers would plant good seeds. Such as, loving others and serving the Lord in hopes for a harvest. That harvest may be answered prayers, loved ones saved, and eternal rewards. But what if a person slacks off or gives up and finds themself with no...

We see trees falling, daylight becoming shorter, and we can sense that fall is near.

In today’s episode, “Wedding Feast,” we study the parable, also called the marriage feast or great banquet, found in Matthew 22: 1-14 that Jesus said in response to the religious leaders.
