Heartland Alliance Church Podcast

The sad reality of alienation in our world has been rectified through Jesus Christ so that we might be brought into one family.  

The church works best when Jesus Christ is the head, we act as His body and we seek a strong connection.

God wants us to grasp hope, inheritance and power.

The free will of man and the sovereignty of God may feel irreconcilable but they work together to bring great assurance of our salvation in Christ.

God wants us to be aware of the power of encouragement, thanksgiving and prayer.

In him, we have redemption through His blood.

Who's picking whom? Don't be a Know-It-All.  Destination Certainty.  What else should we know?

God blesses us in Christ.

A healthy/wealthy church has a solid foundation, power and presence, a culture of community, depth and width.

The book of John tells us we need to become followers of Jesus if we are to be a part of His kingdom family, being part of His family means we will spend eternity with Jesus, and where we will know and see our heavenly Father face to face.

The commitment he made, the opportunity he was given, the warnings he heard, the choices he made and the outcome he embraced.

In redeeming our past, God invites our love, commissions a new future, prepares us for sacrifice and calls us to follow.

Jesus prays for us that we might live in unity, see His glory, be aware of the dangers of the world and join His rescue crew.

The bigness of God; childlike faith; God and us; God, us and creation; the bigness of God.

A cry for help, a plea for justice, a reason for praise.

Jesus intercedes, encourages and prays: protection, unity, give them joy, sanctify them.

Acknowledge the truth of our situation. Humble ourselves before God: plead for God's mercy, be honest about our affliction, make bold requests, give God the credit. Move forward in confidence.

History (Return to Judah, Alexander the Great, Maccabean Revolt) and the Political World of Jesus' Time (Sadducees, Pharisees).

Notice His posture, His Father, His glory and His work.

The source of hate and persecution; past and present reality; our future; the Holy Spirit comes to help.
