Family Bible Church Podcast - Highland, Il

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.

Sometimes it seems like no matter how hard we try our spouse does not understand what we are trying to say. Other times we are not sure what to say to begin with. Today we listen to the Word of God as He teaches us to successfully communicate in marriage.

Being married can be tough, especially when you have a front-row seat to how different you are from your spouse. Is this the way God intended marriage? Today we hear a biblical perspective on learning to celebrate our differences.

Trust is one of the fundamental requirements for any meaningful relationship, so how can we become more trusting in our marriages? Today we hear what Jesus taught about the need for trust in love.

While we can have many conversations about marriage, the truth is that the Bible only teaches about how to live out a CHRISTian marriage. And as with all things, having Christ as the focus changes everything.

For some people conversations about sex and sexuality are completely off limits, for others they revel in the opportunity with all the wisdom of men, but today we listen as God speaks in the Bible about who we are and how He has designed us for sexual intimacy.

As we begin a new series on Love and Marriage we want to build on a foundation of rightly understanding the nature, purpose, and call of our true relationship.

Today many are into the party life, and lots of folks in the Church claim it is no place for a Christian, but what does the Bible teach? What did Jesus have to say about how we are to party?

How do you feel about talking about money? Jesus was never afraid to discuss it, in fact He knew it had a special hold on our hearts. Today we examine what God thinks about our money.

Did you know God has made promises over you? Many people do not and some who do misunderstand what they are. Today we are reminded of promises Jesus has made about Himself and who we are in His promises.
