Telling What God Has Done For Us 04/14/2024

Telling What God Has Done For Us If we believe God created everything and everyone, just by speaking, then is it reasonable to believe that God has ALL THE POWER THERE IS? If so, then we could also assume He doesn’t need our help. But we see in the scriptures when Jesus healed people, He didn’t just speak and heal everyone. He healed individuals. Because those individuals then went to tell others what God had done for them. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30815468

Even The Ones We Don’t See 03/31/2024

Even The Ones We Don’t See “He Is Risen!” “He is Risen Indeed!” This is a traditional Christian greeting goes back well over a thousand years, even quite possibly among the first generations of Christ followers. Today, we continue to proclaim this because this is THE foundation of our faith. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30613098

Even The Ones We’ve Rejected 03/24/2024

Even The Ones We’ve Rejected We all know that God loves everyone. But we can often find ourselves trying to add exceptions to God’s love, things like we’ve been seeing in the Gospel of Luke like “Yes, but not those with leprosy… not the tax collectors… not on the Sabbath… not those who hate us…” This week, we see a “sinful woman”, and how a religious man sees her and how God sees her. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30517188

More Than You Know 03/17/2024

More Than You Know We believe God loves us, even say “more than you know”… But God loves us differently than we love each other. Believe it or not, Luke 7:18-28 describes God’s love. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30408903

Even Gentiles 03/10/2024

Even Gentiles Last week in Luke 6, Jesus tells us to “love our enemies”. In Luke 7, we meet one of these “enemies”, a Roman centurion. But this man is more than an enemy… he is a man looking to Jesus for help. Help that we ALL need! /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30308113

All People 03/03/2024

All People We all believe that God loves all people… and we all know that God expects us to love all people. We even know that we are supposed to love our enemies. But do we? Or do we have excuses to Jesus’ clear teaching about loving those who aren’t always so easy to love. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30206758

Religious People 02/25/2024

Religious People In Luke 6, we see once again how the “religious people” see Jesus, their Messiah, standing right in front of them, doing miracles… and all they can do is ask questions about what’s appropriate on the Sabbath. How do we religious people get this way? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30098818

Sinful People 02/18/2024

Sinful People We’ve heard of “blind spots” in our cars. But we can have spiritual blind spots in our walk with Jesus. Sometimes Jesus points these out to us, like He does in Luke 5:27-39. We can often think we are so safe in our beliefs… but then Jesus helps us to see what we have blinded ourselves from seeing, especially when it comes to how we see (or don’t see) sinful people. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/30005193

Sick People 02/11/2024

Sick People While we love God and are thankful for all He has done and continues to do for us, we will all have those times when God does something we don’t expect… Did we do something wrong? Are we being punished? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29894113

The Disciples 02/04/2024

The Disciples Since God has chosen PEOPLE as His main instrument for sharing His good news with the world, some may think that those will have to be exceptional people. Were Jesus’ 12 disciples exceptional people? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29790583

Good News for the Whole World - The Herald 01/14/2024

Good News for the Whole World - The Herald If you had a message of good news for the whole world, how would you go about sharing it? Today, we have mass media and the internet. But when it was time for God to announce His good news to the world that He was sending our savior, He chose a person. Why a person? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29478808

So That You May Know 01/07/2024

So That You May Know It is appropriate to refer to our belief in Jesus as a “faith”. And the Bible defines “faith” as being based in what we hope for but cannot see (Hebrews 11:1). But our faith is still based on facts. The first generation of believers “knew”, because they saw Jesus with their own eyes. But what about... /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29375383

God Will Continue to Be With Us 12/31/2023

God Will Continue to Be With Us We live in a culture that is unprecedented when it comes to information availability. All for it, not negative… but I think we’ve gone from information availability to information bombardment. So MUCH, isn’t it? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29288918

Christmas Eve Message /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29220258

God is Leading You 12/10/2023

God is Leading You What was your favorite Christmas? Can you remember? For most of us, it’s a childhood Christmas, a time when you got that special toy, sort of a “Ralphie and the red ryder BB gun” moment. Maybe it was a bike, or a video game. How many of you your favorite Christmas is a time when you were an adult? Maybe a... /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/29008578

God Finds Us 12/03/2023

God Finds Us If you hear that someone is coming and looking for you, what would you think? Is that good news or bad news? Advent means “coming” and Christmas is all about how our God is more than a God who created us. He’s a God who loves us and a God who is with us. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28905403

What Generosity Actually Looks Like 11/26/2023

What Generosity Actually Looks Like Stanley Tam gave God the majority…even when it wasn’t much. Stanley did this because God wanted Him to and he wanted God to have control. God used this generous... /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28796513

The Power of Wisdom 11/12/2023

The Power of Wisdom The prophecies of Daniel, especially in Chapter 11, are so detailed that many still believe they HAD to be written after they had happened. But the power of our God is demonstrated in prophecies that are fulfilled. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28604243

The Power of Weakness 10/29/2023

The Power of Weakness In Daniel 10, God continues to not only give Daniel visions, but emphasizes that Daniel needs help too to understand it. As we’ll see today, Daniel needs help not only to understand it, but to actually bear it, to get through it. The same is true for us. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28454468

The Power of Prayer 10/22/2023

The Power of Prayer Daniel 9 contains a powerful prophecy in vv. 20-27 that can be confusing to some regarding the end times. These scriptures continue to be debated as to their exact meaning. See the chart below as we read Daniel 9:20-27… /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28387430

The Power of the End Times 10/15/2023

The Power of the End Times Sometimes, current events occur and we wonder if they are part of the “End Times” that are prophesied in scripture. It’s true the scriptures do speak of the End Times, but not so we can make predictions or control the future. When tempted to make predictions, keep these two scriptures in mind… Matthew 24:34-42 and I Corinthians 14:3 /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28320647

The Power of Kings 10/08/2023

The Power of Kings We now move into the section of Daniel dealing with visions and prophecies of the future. Some would be fulfilled in Daniel’s time, others still to be fulfilled in the future. Prophecies can be difficult to understand, especially when it seems God is allowing evil to reign through wars and wicked kings. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28257677

The Power of Our God - The Power of Faith 10/01/2023

The Power of Our God - The Power of Faith Some people dismiss faith and instead insist on “proof”. But the power of our God is magnified when God does something and there are no proofs or facts or explanations… just faith. We often misunderstand faith and the power faith has, both for our lives and for those who do not know God. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28191056

The Power of Our God - The Power of Legacy 09/24/2023

The Power of Our God - The Power of Legacy Let’s begin with a deep theological question that has perplexed scholars for centuries…Would you tell someone they have spinach in their teeth? ... /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28125698

The Power of God - The Power of Humility 09/17/2023

The Power of God - The Power of Humility I can still remember her putting down the phone. I can still see the disappointment in her face. I can still hear her crying as she ran out of the room. One of the ladies where I worked, call her “Melissa”, was getting married. I think most women dream about the day they will get married. Not only about the man, good to have one up there I guess, but /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28056951

The Power of God - The Power of Courage 09/10/2023

The Power of God - The Power of Courage Famous martyrs like Jan Hus (or “John Huss”) displayed great courage in speaking out against the wrongs being practiced by the church. How do you know when to take a stand and where do you find this kind of courage? /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/28010922

The Power of our God - The Power of Dreams 09/03/2023

The Power of our God - The Power of Dreams In the Book of Daniel, we read several stories that are set up to demonstrate the power of our God, things only God can do. Why? To see there is MORE than just this world and MORE than the things we see and control. Because often forget this and put so much of our faith in ourselves. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/27929181

The Power of God - The Power of Conviction 08/27/2023

The Power of God - The Power of Conviction As we begin this new series in the Book of Daniel, it’s important to know the context, what’s going on during this time period. And probably the best way to start it off is by saying this: /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/27860427

Amazing Faith - The Woman and Two Coins 08/20/2023

Amazing Faith - The Woman and Two Coins Does my gift matter? I could go into how yes it does, all adds up, not just one or two holding getting us through. Most regular attending members give, which is... /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/27800916

Amazing Faith - Jesus and the Roadside Beggar 08/06/2023

Amazing Faith - Jesus and the Roadside Beggar We all see beggars by the roadside. And we all have different ideas or feelings about these people. In today’s scripture, we see not only a man who is healed, but a God who cares and responds when we cry out to Him. /episode/index/show/mauldinfirst/id/27673803
