Living the World Part 2

Tue, Dec 8

Tuesday, December 8, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light What would be your greatest piece of advice to a friend who is trying to lose weight by eating less? Would you tell them to go to their favorite restaurant? Would you tell them to go down the snack aisle at the grocery store? Of course not! You would encourage them to avoid situations where they'd be tempted to over eat. In much the same way, we'll discover today that loving the world can be destructive to our...

Living the World Part 1

Mon, Dec 7

Monday, December 7, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light Do you believe in love at first sight? Most of us would say love takes time. It starts with admiration and develops into more. How do Christians become so "in love" with the world? It starts by admiring an actor, enjoying a certain television show, or reading the magazines in the check-out line. Before we know it, we're hooked. The enticing world has us captivated. But God didn't intend for us to love the world to...

Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 2

Fri, Dec 4

Friday, December 4, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light Many societies today are dealing with the negative effects of the "Boomerang Generation." They're called "boomerang" because they represent adult children who move back home and allow their parents to provide for them. For some people in this situation, they've chosen familiarity rather than stepping out on their own and growing by personal experience. Unfortunately, many people do this in their Christian walk. Dr....

Growing Strong in Your Faith Part 1

Thu, Dec 3

Thursday, December 3, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light The antics of children never cease to amaze us. But we understand that at each stage of their development they are learning from their choices and even their mistakes. But, as they grow older, we give them more responsibility and expect more from them. Our ultimate goal? That they will grow into mature adults, setting an example for the next generation. In this message, we'll learn that God desires the same kind...

Trust and Obey Part 2

Wed, Dec 2

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light Have you ever seen a military group being trained? The commanding officer gives an order, and the soldiers immediately obey. Can you imagine what would happen if a few of the men decided they didn't really feel like following orders? Obedience is a crucial aspect of the military. Orders must be executed immediately to ensure the safety of the soldiers and to properly execute the mission. In much the same way, we...

Trust and Obey Part 1

Tue, Dec 1

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light What would you say is the most important trait we teach our children? Is it honesty? Perhaps compassion? Or maybe it's patience. All of these characteristics are valuable, but the most important trait is obedience. When children learn the importance of obedience, they not only honor their parents, they honor God, and prepare themselves to obey Him. Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Living in the Light, by...

The Games Christians Play Part 2

Mon, Nov 30

Monday, November 30, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light So many people are plagued with the disease of denial. Despite overwhelming evidence, these people refuse to accept facts placed before them because it's easier that way. They'd rather live their lives based on feelings than facts. Do they know what they're missing? In the same way, many Christians live in denial of sin. Dr. David Jeremiah will teach us that the denial of the power, presence, and practice of sin...

The Games Christians Play Part 1

Fri, Nov 27

Friday, November 27, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light With the current job market, a lot of people are relocating to find work - perhaps to a place they never imagined living. In situations like this, it's easy to focus solely on the daily routine in the new location, never becoming a part of the community or realizing that new friends and experiences are available to them. In this message, we'll discover that, in the same way, many Christians never take the...

The Importance of Knowing Part 2

Thu, Nov 26

Thursday, November 26, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light "Tolerance" is the popular buzzword these days. But the definition of tolerance has been distorted from its original meaning. Now, if we want to be considered "tolerant," we have to celebrate everyone's beliefs as being equally valid and true, even to the point of telling Christian churches they have to tolerate those who choose to believe false doctrines. Never has there been a more important time to know God's...

The Importance of Knowing Part 1

Wed, Nov 25

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living in the Light Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? Knowing what we believe, knowing God's Word, becomes more important every year. With the number of cults increasing and those already in existence flourishing, we can't help but ask ourselves, "why?" Why are people turning from Truth to false doctrine, to empty hope? It might be because they never really knew the truth. Join Dr. David Jeremiah for a critical...

What Can I Do When Trouble Overwhelms Me?

Tue, Nov 24

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Rebellious children. Aging parents. Job insecurities. Unstable finances. Failing health. Many of us are struggling in some area of our lives and we're overwhelmed. At times even our attempts to fix the problem seems futile. Why is it so hard? Isn't life as a Christian supposed to be easy? In the conclusion of his series God, I Need Some Answers, Dr. Jeremiah reminds us that God never promised us a...

So Why Should I Be Thankful?

Mon, Nov 23

Monday, November 23, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Have you ever watched a mother train her child by providing the opportunity to make a choice? Often it's very effective and develops the child's ability to reflect on the decision, even at a young age. From the moment we wake-up, our lives are filled with choices. So making decisions isn't foreign to us. But what about the choice we need to make regarding our thankfulness? Dr. Jeremiah continues his series...

How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 2

Fri, Nov 20

Friday, November 20, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers There seems to be a trend in our society of people avoiding responsibility. We see it in people who have children and don't take care of them. We see it in people who don't pay their bills. The thought is, "If I just ignore it long enough, it might just go away." And we all know how well that works. Yet, many people try to do this with sin. They ignore it, hoping it will go away. But Dr. Jeremiah wants us to...

How Can I Be Truly Forgiven? Part 1

Thu, Nov 19

Thursday, November 19, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Forgiveness is often a difficult concept, especially if we've ever been deeply hurt by someone we love. Most of us would agree that it's nearly impossible to forgive someone who's not sorry for what they've done. But when that person comes to you in brokenness, completely devastated over the pain they've caused in your life - now, that is the beginning of true forgiveness. In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will...

Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 2

Wed, Nov 18

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Do you ever feel like being faithful to God isn’t worth it? We spend our time serving at the Church, teaching a Bible study, or helping an elderly neighbor, and why? After all, ungodly people ignore God in the pursuit of personal happiness, and often drift through life without a care. Yet Christians face so many trials - it seems unfair! Why do good things happen to bad people? Psalm 73

Why Do Good Things Happen to Bad People? Part 1

Tue, Nov 17

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Have you ever seen television shows that allow a glimpse into the lives of people living in self-indulgent luxury? These shows and others like them can cause us to wonder why these people live in abundance - especially when many of them outwardly deny God and His truth. As we continue the series God, I Need Some Answers, we'll discover that our lives here on earth are temporary, and we need to view life from...

Monday, November 16, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Parenting resources are endless these days. Books, magazines, websites, chat rooms - we're guaranteed to find the answers to our most difficult questions.

How Can I Help My Family? Part 1

Fri, Nov 13

Friday, November 13, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Did you know that the divorce rate has increased by more than two-hundred percent over the past thirty years? That's probably why a professor at Cornell University claims that the decline of marriage is the most significant demographic change since the end of World War II. The breakdown of marriage and family is causing a collapse in our moral standards and quality of life. So, how do we protect our families...

How Do I Face My Fears? Part 1

Wed, Nov 11

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers "Car Bomb Kills Thirty in Southern Iraq." "Four Allegedly Plotted to Bomb NYC Temple." "Afghan Wedding Party Bombed." The headlines grow more troubling every day. During the summer of 2009, more than four-hundred-fifty people were killed by acts of terrorism.

How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 2

Tue, Nov 10

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers In 2002, National Public Radio conducted a survey of listeners called, "Books That Changed Your Life." Among the titles - Lord of the Rings, Tale of Two Cities, Madame Bovary, The Pickwick Papers, and Pride and Prejudice. All of these books are classics, and no doubt had a lasting impression on the readers. But were they actually transforming? Do they have the power to change people? In this message, we'll...

How Can One Book Change My Life? Part 1

Mon, Nov 9

Monday, November 9, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers Forensic science shows are everywhere these days - people just can't get enough of them. It's fascinating to watch the unraveling of clues and evidence that lead to a conviction. No matter how we may perceive the situation, the facts don't lie. So in life, how can we know if information is factual? How do we know if we can trust our source? Well, today we'll learn that there is One Source we can always trust;...

How Can I Be Happy? Part 2

Fri, Nov 6

Friday, November 6, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers According to a recent survey, hundreds of people defined happiness as good health, experiencing freedom, and having more provisions than you need. If these things define happiness, how can the woman with terminal cancer, the imprisoned man in North Korea, and the starving family in South Africa have an incomprehensible joy? Because our happiness isn't dependent on our experiences in this world. Dr. David...

How Can I Be Happy? Part 1

Thu, Nov 5

Thursday, November 5, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers How do we find happiness? That seems to be the burning question today. People have an incredible thirst for happiness and will try almost anything to incorporate it into their lives. But shouldn't we recognize that if lasting happiness is found in material things and indulging ourselves in whatever we want, most of us should be deliriously happy beyond description. So if that's not the way to happiness, what...

What Is My Self-Worth? Part 2

Who Am I and Why Am I Here?

Mon, Nov 2

Monday, November 2, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: God, I Need Some Answers "Positive Thinking" is a popular movement that claims to improve the quality of life. No one's going to say that optimism is a bad idea, but it can't provide solutions to some of the things we encounter in life that we simply don't understand. The experiences we live through can often lead us to question "who am I," and "why am I here?" In this message, Dr. Jeremiah will help us understand that the answers to...

Stay Convinced Part 2

Fri, Oct 30

Friday, October 30, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World It doesn't take very long for us to be convinced of something. We see a segment on the news with footage to back it up, and we store it away as truth! How would our lives change if we were just as easily persuaded that Christ is returning? Dr. Jeremiah concludes his series, Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World, and reassures us that, no matter what might be happening in our world, our...

Stay Committed

Wed, Oct 28

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Host: Dr. David Jeremiah Series: Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World Would you be surprised to know that the fear of commitment is an actual phobia? This isn't surprising considering divorce rates, uncertainty in real estate, and the volatility of the stock market. Too often, people will make an oath or a promise and just walk away. How many of us do that with our faith in Christ? Dr. Jeremiah urges us to remain dedicated to our faith, especially during...
