Family Bible Church Podcast - Highland, Il

Where is your treasure kept? Today we wrap up our two week series on finding True Treasure in this life and the life to come, and how radical the call is to follow Jesus with everything we have.

Have you ever found something in your life that is so incredible you would do anything to have a piece of it? Today we listen to scripture as Jesus teaches about how we find true treasure, and how we may act when we do.

Traditionally the book of Acts is referred to both as the Acts of the Apostles and the Acts of the Holy Spirit. This week we hear how the Holy Spirit living in us compels us to a life filled with great passion!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a hero? Today we listen in as Jesus demonstrates eight marks of a real hero, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke.

As we wrap the first half of our Ephesians series we learn what it means to pray boldly for others that God has placed in our life, and how those prayers can not only change things for others, but shape us forever.

In his letter to the church in Ephesus Paul makes the case that when Jesus came to earth He came to do far more than any of us could have imagined: to destroy walls of hostility with the peace of the cross and begin a new building for His glory and His Spirit.

According to the apostle Paul the saints in Ephesus were dead men walking. In fact, Paul teaches that we were all dead in our sin before Jesus. The trouble is most of us do not believe this to be true, we reason that there must be some good in us. Listen as we hear the truth of the Gospel of Jesus, and the two most powerful words in the Bible....BUT GOD.

Paul tells the saints in Ephesus that he is continually giving thanks and praying for them before God. Do we know the power that we have when we partner in prayer? More importantly, do we realize we have the most powerful Partner in prayer?

Do you know the Gospel of Jesus Christ? How have you responded? As we continue our study of Pauls letter to the church in Ephesus we hear the most important question we will ever answer: Do you believe the Good News?

Is there still room in our lives for mystery? Do we believe we know, or can know, all the Reality of God apart from His Presence? Today we listen as Paul challenges the Church to consider and join in the Mystery of Jesus Christ.

As we kick off our new study of the book of Ephesians, we need to get some understanding about who all these saints were, and how exactly God had called them to be the Church.

As we wrap up our new series Power to Change, we ask the most fundamental question: how must we change? Today we hear from the Bible that Jesus not only calls us to change, and enables us to do so, but He shows us perfectly through His real life example.

Listen in as our BLAST Kids present a story of what CHRISTmas is all about, and how each of us can glorfy Jesus!

Many of us believe that parenting is permanent relationship, but the Bible challenges this notion. In fact, a final necessary act of parenting is letting go and trusting God to lead, love, and discipline our children with us and without us.

Today we learn that God is ready to use us right where we are for His glory and our good. You may be surprised at what God can do with simple resources placed in the hands of an obedient servant!

As parents we have the opportunity to build Godly monuments and teachable moments into our lives that can cause our children to ask us: what do these stones mean?

Do as I say and not as I do. Too often this old adage is the way we try to instruct and lead our kids in how they ought to live their life...and this teaching leads to failure. Instead God calls us to instruct and train our kids in real life situations with real life practice every day. This is where the hardest teaching--and most profound learning--can occur.

In the second week of our new series we discuss what the word of God teaches about the unique role a father plays in the development of his children as we seek to be spiritual leaders in our homes.

As we begin a new series discussing how parents are uniquely called and equipped to be the spiritual leaders of their children, we start with a basic premise set out in the Great Commission: only disciples of Jesus make disciples of Jesus.

Many times where we see ourselves ending up will determine how well we do in getting there. Today we hear how God begins with the end in mind, and how we can learn to do the same.
