The Bible and Our Culture

What you need for God to powerfully use you:

Where did Gideon's true strength come from? 
What are characteristics of the people God uses?
Finding our adequacy in God.
Judges 6:7-24

Gideon is our blueprint for culture reform

Who does God call?
What are your qualifications for ministry.
The nature of the book of Judges

Focusing on eternity is hope the world can't boast about

Focus on the unseen--focus on the eternal!
What hope do we have that the world wants to hear.
Address the elephant in the room.
Jesus gives us hope in so many different facets. 

Boast in the Hope we have through Jesus

2 Corinthians 4: 7-18
We can have a positive mental attitude and so much more because we are in Christ.

How to pray for your enemies to repent...

What does the Bible say?  Pray for our enemies to repent.  

Intercession in the face of God's judgment, the Church's sacred role

Does Moses dare try to advise God?  How does God mercy manifest when we have provoked His Judgment? 

David talked about a spiritual house of the Lord!

God commanded His people to party regularly.
How to ascend into the mountain of the LORD.
Worshipping together brings a different anointing.
There was no house when David wrote songs about the house of the Lord.  
 

Giants are bread for the faith-filled believer.

We all have giants especially if you are taking ground for the purposes of God.  When they threaten you, realize, like Caleb, they are your bread!  "Give us this day our daily giants."

How fear and complaining causes failures

Fear and sour attitudes caused the children of Israel to miss their key opportunity.  

Leftists are Pharisees too (part 2 from last show)

What Jesus might say to today's hypocritical, external, people pleasing, self-deceived oppressors.
