Cornerstone

Without Jesus, we can do NOTHING! It's a pretty bold statement, isn't it? In this episode, using John 15:1-5, I share my thoughts on why I believe Christians can do nothing without Jesus, and how we miss out on a deeper relationship with the LORD due to our limited understanding of this passage. If you want to know more about Jesus, please get in touch with me. If you think this episode can bless someone else, please share it with them. Thanks for listening and God bless you.

In this episode, I do my best to explain why it is so important for us Christians to share about Jesus with others.

Do you know Jesus? Does Jesus KNOW you?  In this episode, I discuss what it means to know Jesus and more importantly, what it means to be KNOWN by Jesus!  In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” In the end, will the Lord Jesus receive you and say “Welcome home my good and faithful servant!” 😃 OR will He not recognise you? 😱 I pray that I have encouraged you somehow and that this episode has been a blessing to you.

In this episode, I openly share about the obstacles that stand in our way of buying a home and what living by faith looks like in practice for my family and me. When obstacles come your way, do you choose to live by faith in the LORD OR do you take charge of your own life? Do you pray and wait on the LORD for His direction?

It's no secret that a lot of people don't like Christians. We are hated because our beliefs and values are offensive to those who don't want to be told they are sinners needing repentance and faith in Jesus to be saved. It won't be long before the champions of "cancel culture" will push for Christianity to be criminalised. If you are a Christian, especially one undergoing persecution, I pray you will be encouraged by this episode. If you are someone who hates Christ, know that you will face God's judgement unless you repent and believe in Jesus. My prayer is that you will turn to Christ and be saved.
