The Radical Truth

For the last 41 weeks we have been studying The Radical Jesus. We learned that Jesus is absolutely radical and that all those who would be true followers of Jesus are called to be like Jesus--to be Christlike. The simple conclusion to the fact that Jesus is radical is that His followers should be radical like Jesus. Today we conclude this study by bringing some practical application from what we have learned. Next week we will begin a new teaching series.

We are continuing to study what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. The truth that we can only reproduce in others what we are is part of what we will examine today. This is a very challenging thought so take a listen, learn and grow in your faith in Jesus.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? This is the topic of today's podcast that we began last week. If we want to be a true disciple of Jesus then it is imperative that we know what Jesus said on the subject. Listen and be challenged to be the disciple Jesus is calling you to be.

Today we will begin a new section in our continuing study on The Radical Jesus, which is on Radical Discipleship. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? I will strive to answer this very important question by looking at what Jesus taught on the subject.

This is lesson 38 on in our study on The Radical Jesus and part four in our section on Radical Pursuit. Today we will examine what our pursuit of God should look like according to what God has to say about it. This is a challenging lesson that will help you understand a little more about what it means to be a true follower of Jesus.

How should mankind pursue God? This is today's topic and it will certainly challenge you.

Last week we began a new section in our study on Radical Pursuit which is about God's pursuit of mankind and our pursuit of Him. In last week's lesson we examined God pursuit of mankind and in today's study we will look at man’s response to God’s pursuit of us.

In today's lesson we will begin a new section on Radical Pursuit which is part of our continuing study on The Radical Jesus. In this section on radical pursuit we are going to dig into God’s pursuit of mankind and our pursuit of Him. Today we will concentrate upon His pursuit of us, which is a very encouraging topic.

This is part 2 on radical abiding where we will dig into the challenging truths about Christ's self-emptying. How Jesus abode in the Father is the standard on how we are to abide in Christ. This will be a thought provoking lesson.

We begin today a new section on Radical Abiding in our continuing study on The Radical Jesus. To abide in Christ is mandatory part of being a true follower of Jesus. To help us grasp the nature of abiding we will go on a strange journey by first looking at water baptism so that we can understand why Jesus was baptized. This will then open way for us to see just how radical abiding in Christ actually is according to Scripture.

In today's podcast we are going to dig into the very important subject that prayer is all about relationship with God. We will then examine what it means to enjoy God. There is no greater privilege given to mankind than to walk with Him in unbroken fellowship. In this podcast I will debut a song from Bart and Tricia's CD "Beauty All Around." It's called, "Into Your Presence."

The spiritual condition of a local church is ultimately determined by the spiritual life of the pastor and people. At the core of this issue is the subject of prayer. People and churches can rise no higher spiritually then their prayer life. In today's podcast we will focus on prayer and the local church. If you want to know why the church is in the condition it is in then you need to listen to this teaching.

In today's study on prayer we will see how true prayer is all about relationship with Jesus. We will also look at prayer and the pastor and then close with a brief examination in how prayer affects the spiritual condition of the family. You will be challenged by this podcast.

This is the last podcast of 2015 and we are stating a new section in our continuing study on The Radical Jesus. For the next few weeks we will be examining the subject of Radical Prayer. In today's lesson we will lay the foundation of our teaching on the radical nature of prayer by learning from Jesus who is our ultimate and perfect example. If you want to grow in the power of prayer then listen to these podcasts on prayer.

We have been doing an in depth investigation into the Radical Jesus for over seven months and this will be our last week studying the section on radical faith. One of the primary points of today's lesson is to help us understand the necessity of returning to the roots of our faith that was seen in the primitive church of the first century. God is a miracle working God and He is waiting for people to rise up to the great need of the hour which is for the saints to operate through great faith. The need is great so the remedy must be greater. A tame Christianity will not capture the heart and mind of the world. We need a signs and wonders, New Testament faith. Then the world will take note and learn that there is a God and that His name is Jesus.
