We know what Satan can do. We know how he does it. The big question, of course, is why. Why does Satan focus so much on worldliness? What is he hoping to gain? This video looks at why Satan and his angels would do anything to delay the second coming of Jesus Christ.

This episode revisits last week's topic, digging deeper to really see what the Bible reveals about Satan's powers and limitations. This will also be the start of a multi-part series where we examine who what Satan is, what he can do, how he carries out his plans, and what his motivation seems to be.

Why are we tempted? Can we blame Satan or his demons for implanting thoughts and desires? Is he responsible for our sinful choices? This episode digs into a simple truth from James 1. However, before that truth can make sense to us as it did to his original audience, we have to be careful not to assume things about Satan that the Bible either doesn't say or completely contradicts. When we understand this, we may better be able to kill our sin before it starts because we'll understand where the temptation is truly coming from.

The Asbury Revival received national attention. Christians are sharing and talking about it all over the internet. Churches and Christian leaders have even tried to carry on the revivals in their own cities. This episode is a deep, thorough dive into everything surrounding the revivals and asks an important question: Is God the only, or even the most likely, explanation for what we've seen?

God saved us. Now what? Hebrews 10 reminds us to think about what Jesus did, and who we are in Him, so that we can live holy lives for the few short years we're on this earth. If we choose rebellion after Christ has forgiven our sins, God promises us that He will discipline us like the good and perfect father that He is. As Christians, we are left with two choices - we can face God's discipline, even to the point of death, or we can endure through the freedom Jesus gave us and the transforming power of the holy spirit in our lives.
And if you've ever wondered why Hebrews 10:26-27 sounds like you can lose your salvation, this episode is for you.

Context is king. When we don't understand what the author and his audience understood, thought about, and believed, it's nearly impossible to understand what's really being said. This episode is a teaching I did in Hebrews 9 where I dig in to what this Jewish audience believed about the old covenant, tabernacle, high priest, and blood offerings made every day. By understanding why these things were so important to them, we can better understand why the author spends the rest of chapter 9 using language for Jesus that keeps calling back to these old covenant things.

We all have family routines. When we're around the same people day after day, year after year, we get into a familiar groove of living and interacting with them. For too many of us, one of those common routines involves giving our families the worst side of us. We are patient, tolerant, and even enjoyable with friends, coworkers, and people at church, but behind closed doors we put our sin natures on full display.
This episode is a difficult one. None of us want to confront that reality, and many don’t want to let go of the anger, criticism, and quarreling that's become a normal part of their family routine. But if we truly believe that God has given us our families on purpose, we want to honor them as our greatest opportunity to serve God through our earthly relationships. My prayer is that this episode will encourage and equip Christians to do give their families the best side of them.

"The church is a hospital, not a country club." This episode uses this metaphor to help us better appreciate one of the purposes of our pastors and the local church. However, I also look at treating the church as a hospital that brings healing, rather than a hospice where we have no hope of recovery.
