Can we avoid tests and trials in this life? No.  Do our bad habits often lead to trials of our own making? Yes.  So if we listen to Jesus and rid ourselves of these bad habits, we can avoid many unnecessary trials and tests.  But what to do when we are in those inevitable trials?  Stay tuned to find out!

When Jesus states in the Disciples’ Prayer, “And lead us not into temptation,” what is he saying? Does God tempt us? Or … the Greek word for temptation is the same word for trials.  Was Jesus’ original words about trials or temptations – or both?  And if so, what is his message to us?  Stay tuned to find out!

Most Christians accept that Jesus rose from the dead, but if so, have you thought about the radical implications for your life?  Today we dispel any doubt that Jesus did in fact rise from the dead, and was seen by many eyewitnesses.  And we will explore the first sermons in Acts to see what the apostles preached and emphatically declared.

I have found that it helps me track with Jesus if I follow what he is doing each day of his last week. On Monday he clears the temple and on Tuesday he verbally attacks and publicly shames the Jewish leaders. Is he backing them into a corner so that they have no alternative but to kill him?  And the seating arrangement at the Last Supper is filled with surprises.  Tune in to find out more about all of this!

When Jesus says, “… your father knows what you need before you ask him,” do you realize what an astounding statement this is?  Do you see what a plate-tectonics shift this could be / should be in our approach to prayer?  Today let’s dig into this incredible promise from Jesus and its implications for us.

When we are faced with a decision, do we seek God’s direction? Do we want to be in his will?  And if so, how will we know if we are? Today we will seek to understand how, when we are faced with options that do not seem to be black and white, can we determine what God’s will is.

In the Lord’s Prayer we ask, “Your will be done.” But how would we know if what we hear is indeed God’s will – or our own?  Or worse, Satan deceiving us? Can we know and discern God’s will?  Does he still communicate to us individually about such matters? Yes and Yes!  Stay tuned to find out!

As we look around our world and see the poverty, the wars, the disease and crime, we have to wonder, “Is this the will of God?”  If it is, he is either not a good God, or he is not and all-powerful God?  But is there a better explanation  Yes!  Tune it to find out.
