you might think you know yourself, but the bible says you don't. Jesus' best friends swore they would never abandon Him and they did. yet Jesus promises to lovingly reunite us with Himself after we desert Him and  show us who we really are and who He really is. support: www.amenchurch.live

refusing to surrender to God is like not having taste. when we don’t surrender, we’re missing out of the abundance of life he has for us. without taste we are also in danger of eating something bad for us or choosing something God doesn’t want for us, because we’re still holding onto our own ways. real christians surrender. to know God is to surrender to His power and His plans. so, how do we surrender?

having spiritual eyesight means seeing things God’s way. that can be easier said than done when our circumstances are confusing. sometimes life and the Christian walk looks blurry and we can’t figure out what God is trying to say to us. today we will look at a dark day in history and see the light that shines through. that Light will help us see our everyday life more clearly. www.amenpodcast.com

being faithful to Jesus is rare today. we are faithful to many others things, work, school, social media, friends, hobbies. but not to Jesus. when life gets hard we tend to get going and Jesus our faith behind. oswald chambers says, “The goal of faithfulness is not that we will do work for God, but that He will be free to do His work through us.” in this episode, alex will preach about what being faithful looks like in the next part of the Christmas story. www.amenchurch.live

This is part 1 of our 4 part series on Christmas: the celebration of the birth of Jesus. We live in a culture that loves to focus on everything BUT His birth during the Christmas season, so instead of continuing in Mark, we wanted to pause and focus on the most important birth to ever take place. If you catch these messages you will never look at Christmas the same and you’ll experience a joy and purpose during the Christmas season that those outside of the faith don’t know. donate: www.amenpodcast.com

before eating the first bite of the last supper, Jesus tells His best friends that one of them will betray them. they fail to see the spiritual red flags right in front of them, but we don't have to. www.amenpodcast.com
