It might seem impossible to please God—but it’s really not. In fact, through the Bible, God shows us exactly what we need to do if we want to live in a way that pleases Him.  Gary Black examines three keys that will set us on the right track: listening, believing and obeying. CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:58 Parents and children, God and us3:02 Three keys and a story4:48 Key one – listening8:17 Key two – believing12:28 Key three – obeying16:44 Conclusion Listen to LHT Presents in your favorite podcast player: https://lhtpresents.lifehopeandtruth.com/ FEATURED BOOKLETS📕 Change Your Life: https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/change-your-life📕 God’s 10 Commandments: Still Relevant Today: https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/gods-10-commandments OTHER HELPFUL LINKS💭 Life, Hope & Truth Learning Center: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/learning-center/👤 Who we are: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/who-we-are/🌍 Church of God, a Worldwide Association: https://cogwa.org/ HASHTAGS#bible #biblestudy #christian #christianliving #religion #apologetics All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the New King James Version (© 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.).

Could you use a break? Our modern world seems to force us into a marginless life—one where it’s impossible to slow down and breathe. But God has something better in mind for us. God commanded—and still commands—a Sabbath rest. James Capo explores three benefits we stand to gain from honoring that command (and why we can be sure it’s still a valid instruction). FEATURED RESOURCES📕 The Mystery of the Kingdom: https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/the-kingdom-of-god📕 The Sabbath: A Neglected Gift From God: https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/the-sabbath📄 Sabbatismos: Does Hebrews 4:9 Teach Rest on the Sabbath?: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/bible/10-commandments/sabbath/sabbatismos/ OTHER HELPFUL LINKS💭 Life, Hope & Truth Learning Center: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/learning-center/👤 Who we are: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/who-we-are/🌍 Church of God, a Worldwide Association: https://cogwa.org/  All Scripture quotations, unless otherwise indicated, are taken from the New King James Version (© 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.).

No matter how you count it, it’s impossible to fit three full, literal days in between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Fewer and fewer people—Christians included—believe in a real, literal devil. Is Satan just a fairy tale? A symbol? A metaphor?

Few subjects are more hotly debated than the nature of truth. What is it? Who gets to decide? How can any of us be sure? The Bible has the answers.

Some people say it’s all part of a bigger plan. Others say it’s just blind chance. The Bible tells us that we WERE born for a reason—and it tells us what that reason IS. Spoiler: it’s a greater purpose than most people (even many Christians!) imagine. Join Joel Meeker as he shares what the inspired Word of God reveals about a question the human race has wrestled with for thousands of years: “Why were you born?”Listen to LHT Presents in your favorite podcast player: https://lhtpresents.lifehopeandtruth.com/ FEATURED BOOKLET📕 Download “God’s Purpose for You: Discovering Why You Were Born”: https://info.lifehopeandtruth.com/gods-purpose-for-you/ OTHER HELPFUL LINKS💭 Life, Hope & Truth Learning Center: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/learning-center/👤 Who we are: https://lifehopeandtruth.com/who-we-are/🌍 Church of God, a Worldwide Association: https://cogwa.org/
