Were You There?

Yesterday, we celebrated Easter, one of the most significant and powerful days of the year.  The death and resurrection of Jesus changed everything for everyone in the world.

Two Men, Different Choices

For three years Jesus had led and taught his disciples.  They all heard and saw the same miracles and lessons.  They had seen the same passion Jesus had for the Kingdom of God.  They knew Jesus better than anyone else on earth.  And yet, at the end of Jesus life on earth, they were not united in their faith in who Jesus was.  Today we look at two of the disciples whose lives went opposite directions as Jesus was arrested.

No Figs on the Tree

Why did Jesus curse a fig tree?  It does seem rather odd.  Was Jesus angry at the tree?  Did his hunger put him in a bad mood?  Neither of those answers even comes close to the truth.  Today we look at the answer to that question and how it impacts us.  Support the show https://www.paypal.me/startingright

Don't Quit

How many times have you quit something that you later regret quitting?  The greatest difference between success and failure in any area of our lives is whether or not we quit doing the right things.  Today we look at that challenge through a story of a young boy and a piano in a concert hall.

The Eagle Chicken

There are times when we can be our own worst enemies. We limit our abilities and judge ourselves based on what we see and hear from others.  We were never created to be hindered by the words and actions of people around us.  We are defined only by who we are in our relationship with our Heavenly Father.   We learn more about that today from an eagle and a chicken.

Kids Amaze Me

There is currently a very disturbing push from some who believe that parents should not have any say in what or how their children are taught.  The Bible tells us the exact opposite. As parents, we have an obligation to our children to make sure they are being taught the things that we know and believe are important for their lives.  Today we look at how to do it right and we hear some of the results from 4-year-old, Teira. Be blessed, and have a great day. Originally Broadcast November 15, 2021 Support the show https://www.paypal.me/startingright
