Episode #25: So You Think You Missed God? 1. How to Get Back on Track Acknowledge your sin, and repent. (1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.”) Repentance isn’t about shame—it’s about realigning with God’s will. Don’t be drastic. Avoid making radical decisions out of fear or guilt. Example: Don’t quit your job, leave your family, and move to the mountains for six months. Family is first. (1 Timothy 5:8 – “If anyone does not provide for his family, he has denied the faith.”) Your first ministry is your home—God will not...

Episode #23: Jesus and the Blind Man – Understanding God's Character 1. Interpreting the Word Through the Spirit We must look at the Word through the eyes of the Spirit, not just the natural mind. Many people misinterpret scripture by looking at it from a carnal or religious perspective. Jesus came to reveal the true nature of the Father (John 14:9). 2. The Blind Man’s Condition Was Not a Result of Sin John 9:1-3 – “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned." The disciples assumed all suffering was...

Episode #22: You and Eternity The Eternal Reality of Christ’s Lordship 1. The Contrast Between Eternity with Christ and Without Him If Jesus is your Lord, this world is the worst it will ever be for you. If Jesus is not your Lord, this world is the best it will ever be for you. For believers, the pain and suffering of this world will end in eternity with Christ (Revelation 21:4). For those who reject Christ, this world is the closest to heaven they will ever experience. 2. The Restraining Power of the Holy Spirit – 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 “Now you know...

Episode #21: Strongholds – Part 2 1. Entering into the Presence of the Lord Daily We must enter into the Lord’s presence on a daily basis. A relationship with God requires consistency and intentionality. Psalm 91:1 – “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” The five-fold ministers (Ephesians 4:11-12) are responsible for equipping the saints. Their job is not to do all the ministry, but to teach others how to do the work of the Kingdom. To be productive in the Kingdom, you need a relationship with the King. You cannot...

Episode #20: Strongholds – Taking Control of Our Minds 1. What is a Stronghold? A stronghold is an area in a person’s life where they struggle to maintain control. Common Strongholds: Lustful thoughts Insecurities Poverty mentality Addictions (alcohol, drugs, etc.) Unhealthy attachment to money (whether rich or poor) 2. How Strongholds Take Root – The Power of Thoughts Every stronghold begins with a thought. Every sin starts in the mind. James 1:14-15 – “Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived,...

Episode #19: Dave Kandole – Walking in Faith 1. Faith is Not an Object – It is a Relationship Faith is not something you "use" or "hold onto"—it is a byproduct of knowing God. Faith is about walking with God, not just believing for things. Many people treat faith as a tool to "get things" from God rather than a way to walk in relationship with Him. 2. Elisha’s Relationship with God – Faith in Action Elisha operated in faith because of his deep connection with God. He did not ask God to do things—he simply commanded things to happen. Examples from Elisha’s life: 2 Kings...
info_outlineEpisode #2: The Creation of Eve
1. Adam as a Complete Being
-
Adam was created whole, lacking nothing and capable of an equal intellectual level with his creator.
He was made in the image of God, possessing intellect, will, and emotion. - However, God saw that it was not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18).
2. The Commandment
- Before Eve was created, God gave Adam a direct command: Do not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:16-17).
- Adam was entrusted with both obedience and responsibility.
- This highlights the importance of divine instruction before human companionship—God’s relationship with Adam came first.
3. The Creation of Eve
- Eve was not an afterthought but a necessary completion to Adam.
- She was taken from Adam’s side—symbolizing equality and partnership, not dominance or subservience.
- Together, Adam and Eve reflected the full image of God in a unique way.
4. The Introduction of Sin
- The serpent deceived Eve, and Adam chose to follow (Genesis 3:1-7).
- Sin entered the world through their disobedience, affecting all humanity.
- The fall distorted relationships—between humanity and God, between man and woman, and even within creation itself.
5. Jesus’ Redemption: He Went to Hell and Bought Us Back
- After His crucifixion, Jesus descended into the depths (1 Peter 3:18-19) and took authority over sin, death, and the grave.
- His victory wasn’t just spiritual—it was legal. He bought us back (redeemed us) from the enemy.
- This act restores the relationship that was broken in Eden, making it possible for us to walk with God again.
6. Completing Our Spouse
- Marriage is a God-ordained design where spouses complete one another.
- Just as Eve was taken from Adam to complete him, spouses are meant to strengthen and support each other.
- True completion isn’t just emotional or physical—it’s spiritual. Marriage should reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:25-32).
