In part eight of our study on Suffering in this Fallen World we will continue examining the issue of living the crucified life. The crucified life was clearly taught by Jesus and the rest of the New Testament. Actually, it is foundational to living the normal Christian as defined by God’s Word. We must live the crucified life to live holy, be compassionate, to love both friend and enemy or to know the wonders of God’s love. So listen to this teaching and grow in Christ–it is worth it all.

We are now in our fourth week studying the subject of Suffering in this Fallen World. Today we will examine four subjects on the issue of suffering: disciplinary suffering, remedial suffering, suffering that reveals our true inner life and suffering that helps us know Jesus more.

But if we will strive to understand the dynamics of suffering as much as we are able we will be better prepared to overcome life’s obstacles when they come our way.

In part two of this teaching series on Suffering in this Fallen World we begin by looking at the wonderful idea that God is in control even when everything seems out of control. Not just that, God uses our suffering to develop in us a Christlike character. Through our suffering the Lord teaches us how to live more selflessly which includes how to lovingly obey Him. However, before we can live a Christlike life we need a radical change in how we view life and suffering. This means we need a spiritual revolution in our hearts and minds. Listen to this podcast and let God’s spiritual revolution begin in you.

Suffering is a fact of life that we wish would never touch us. But we cannot escape its ever-reaching grasp.

In part two of this lesson on Biblical inner healing we will briefly examine Psalm 30 and learn how this chapter relates to the subject in question. A practical layman’s approach to true Biblical healing will then be examined. An interesting theme that runs through this two part study is that of worship. God created us to worship and if we worship anything other than God our lives will be negatively affected. With the right worship of God comes deep inner healing. Learn how worship is an integral part of obtaining true Biblical healing for our inward life.

In part one of this teaching on Biblical inner healing we will establish the need for such healing. We will then examine some of the errors on the pop teachings of inner healing and then see how these teachings are purposely absent in the Scriptures. The world does not have an answer to our suffering and need for inner healing. As people get deeper into sin the pain and suffering sin produces is more acutely felt. However, Jesus Christ has the only remedy to our pain and need of inner healing. At the foot of the cross we will find a Savior that is able to heal and transform our lives.

In this final lesson in our series on Holy Fire we will examine a couple of the primary reasons why we need the Holy Spirit’s fire burning in us. We will conclude the podcast by specially examining our God who is a consuming fire. My prayer is that this message will help set your life on fire for Jesus.
Prayers that are answered by holy fire and prayers that are alive with holy fire is the subject of today’s podcast. In this continuing study on Holy Fire we will learn a little more about the all-important subject of prayer. No one in this life graduates from Christ’s school of prayer. So pick up your text book–the Bible–and some paper and pen to jot down a few notes and come to today’s class. Don’t worry, I will not give a pop quiz. I cannot promise that the Lord will not.
One of the purposes of God’s holy fire is to purify His people so they can live in fellowship with a holy God. This is the subject of part 4 of our study on Holy Fire. God’s purifying fire is an expression of His love for us. We will also examine what a holy fire looks like in the life of a true believer.
There are some very difficult subjects that the Bible addresses. Today, in our continuing study on Holy Fire, we will delve into one of these difficult subjects–judgment. We will see holy God’s holy fire is used as an instrument of judgment. Though this is a challenging study, it will be very benifical to learn a little more about our God that is a consuming fire.
In part two of this study on Holy Fire you will learn about God’s self-disclosure as a He revealed Himself through a burning bush, a pillar of fire and through tongues of fire. The God that is a consuming fire wants to consume anyone with His loving, holy fire that will come to Him with all their heart. The purifying fire of God will set ablaze those who passionately pursue Him.
Today we begin a new study titled Holy Fire. “Fire” is a common idea that flows through much of the church in song, prayer and thought. But what does it mean? When we sing and pray to have the fire what are we really asking God to do for us? This teaching will examine the Biblical idea of fire so that when we pray and sing about it we know what we are really asking for. May God grant our petitions and give us the Holy Spirit and fire.
Today’s podcast will be a little different. Rather then recording a teaching as I normally do, I want to share with you a sermon I preached that shook the church. The message is about counting the cost. We need to not only count the cost to be a New Testament Christian but to count the cost of our sin. This message will shake your life if you have ears to hear.
In this second part of a two episode teaching on Leaving a Legacy we will examine the importance of how we live out the Christian faith because it will affect every person in our lives. Every person leaves a legacy. The question is what kind of legacy are you leaving. It is one that Christ smiles upon or one that hell is happy over. How will your children and grandchildren be affected by your legacy? This subject is of tremendous importance to understand.

This is the eighth and final part of this study on the Life of the Early Church. In this episode Glenn will teach on the fruit that came out of the early church’s devotion to Jesus. The application of these Biblical and historical truths for our lives have the potential to birth the same kind of spiritual and moral revolution that it did in the days of the early church. All God is looking for is saints who will say, “Here I am. Send me.”

The saints of the early church were a people set on fire for God. What was one of the primary reasons those early believers turned the world upside down? They were truly devoted to prayer. In this podcast we will examine the subject of pray and how we should be devoted to it just as much as those first disciples were. Our lack of devotion to prayer is leaving the church spiritually barren. It is time we repent of the horrendous sin of prayerlessness and return to the New Testament faith that is the only standard for true believers to live.

Biblical Christianity is radical because its founder was radical. All we have to do is look at the cross and we can see just how radical it is. In part six of our study on the life of the early church we will look at the cross and how those first believers were totally devoted to all that the cross means, teaches and demands.

The Life of the Early Church is a study examining what caused those early saints to see the power of the Holy Spirit poured out as described in the book of Acts. God is not a respecter of persons. If He poured out Pentecostal power 2000 years ago in ancient Israel then He can do it now if we will meet the conditions of revival that God’s Word clearly reveals. In this episode we will learn about how those early believers were devoted to God, and as a result, to each other. May God do this in our time.
