We deeply desire to be united with Jesus in His death on the cross so we can know the power of His resurrection. But do we really know what the cross means? The cross means pain, but the cross also means God's comfort. The cross means rejection, but the cross also means God's presence. The cross means death, but the cross also means life.
- Embracing the Cross (SL96) ( Stream | Download )
We must embrace the paradox of the cross - the tension between suffering and glory, between brokenness and transformation, between time and eternity. In many areas of life, we daily face this tension. We, like Jesus on the cross, must embrace it and endure. This is a powerful teaching!
- The Life That Pleases God (SL95) ( Stream | Download )
What characterizes a life that pleases God - fame, fortune, success? What does the Bible teach? Our culture stresses fame, wealth, success; yet, it's in the mundane things of our normal daily lives that we have the opportunity to truly please Him. You please God when you serve your spouse, your children, your parents, your employer, your brethren. Let the truth of God's Word set you free from the competitive striving that marks so much "ministry" today. (7/8/2007)
- True Repentance (SL94) ( Stream | Download )
A study, from Judges 10, on the nature of true repentance. False repentance tries to make deals with God; true repentance is characterized by sorrow, honesty, brokenness and actions. (7/1/2007)
- Pressure, Heat and Time (SL93) ( Stream | Download )
The formation of diamonds from carbon requires three things: extreme pressures, high temperatures and time (diamonds are formed very slowly). This is how character is formed. This is how spiritual life is molded. This is how God brings you to maturity: pressure, heat and time! (5/27/2007)
- The Goodness and Severity of God (SL92) ( Stream | Download )
We have allowed sin in our lives and yet God comes searching for us! And when we repent, our minds - and the devil - tell us that God might accept us but if He does, He will do so only grudgingly. But, in reality, God does so with joy! Our sin is a big deal; it does matter a lot. But God loves us and accepts us anyway! (3/18/2007)
- Be Strong and Courageous (SL91) ( Stream | Download )
As Israel was about to enter Canaan, God gave Joshua an exhortation to be strong and courageous. This is an important word for us today as we seek to fulfill the vision God has given us for our lives. God says to us, "I've given you the land. I've made promises to you. I've showed you my faithfulness again and again. You've seen my power. I am with you! So believe me and move forward!" (1/28/2007)
- What Is Your Vision For Your Life and Family (SL90) ( Stream | Download )
A challenge to embrace clear goals in four key areas: knowing God, loving one another, growing and serving and building, and impacting the world. Here's a plan to make your life count! Here is the plan that accompanies this teaching. (1/21/2007)
- The Two Comings of the Lord (SL89) ( Stream | Download )
As we thank God for Jesus' coming, let's not forget that His coming to the earth 2000 years ago was only His first coming to the earth. As we remember His first coming it's even more important that we remember His next coming! Jesus' return means fear, hope and encouragement. (12/24/2006)
- Resist Sin! (SL88) ( Stream | Download )
God commands us to resist sin! We must take Him seriously. We can effectively resist sin by looking at sin's awfulness, looking at the beauty of God's holiness, looking at God's faithfulness and by living in His Presence. (12/10/2006)
- Judgment in the House Of God (SL87) ( Stream | Download )
God is coming to His church with a refining fire to cleanse the sins that His people have hidden in their lives. But this is an expression of His love - that His people would be cleansed now and so not destroyed with the rest of the world in His wrath. "The time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God." Here is a prophetic word shared the same morning. (12/3/2006)
- Giving Thanks (SL86) ( Stream | Download )
We give thanks for very small things frequently. How much more should we thank God for His great gifts? This teaching also contains many testimonies from the Living Faith family. (11/26/2006)
- Faith without Deeds (SL85) ( Stream | Download )
"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?" Many in church today are hoping that "such faith" can indeed save them; numerous studies demonstrate that the American Church is a morally compromised Church. We are saved by faith, without works of any kind; but a true faith will always result in true works. God will not be mocked! We must repent of our mixture and compromise. (11/19/2006)
- Through the Fire (SL84) ( Stream | Download )
God uses the fire of many kinds of suffering and pressure in our lives to bring forth the image of His Son in us. The key question of this life is, "Will you go through the fire?" He is with you to strengthen you, so you can endure. But you must rely on Him. (10/22/2006)
- The Essence of the Christian Lifestyle (SL83) ( Stream | Download )
The heart of Christian reality is to love God (and, therefore, to obey Him) and to love one another (not just in word, but in deed). And that's about it! (6/4/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #1 (SL82-1) ( Stream | Download )
The first in a series, this teaching studies Matthew 23. (5/7/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #2 (SL82-2) ( Stream | Download )
A study of the three kinds of legalism: (a) we must keep the law to be saved by God, (b) we are saved by faith but we must keep the law to go deeper with God, and (c) we must keep the law to be accepted by men. (6/11/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #3 (SL82-3) ( Stream | Download )
This teaching deals with secret sin; in particular, pornography. (6/25/2006)

How to get victory over secret sin! (7/2/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #5 (SL82-5) ( Stream | Download )
Deals with self-righteousness. Abel came before God with brokenness of heart, with confession of sin, and with blood. He trusted that God would accept him, not on the basis of his own works, but on the basis of the blood of a substitute. Cain came before God apparently with no confession of sin, no brokenness, but instead with pride and self-righteousness, disregarding the divine way, bringing his own works - and honestly expecting that God would accept him on the basis of his own works! How are you approaching God? (7/23/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #6 (SL82-6) ( Stream | Download )
Deals with stubborn imbalance. The Pharisees made a big deal out of "lesser important" passages while neglecting "more important" passages. To have a proper balance, we must recognize that our doctrines have varying degrees of significance and of authority, and we should not burn someone at the stake because they disagree with our traditions and speculations! (8/13/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #7 (SL82-7) ( Stream | Download )
Again dealing with stubborn imbalance, especially related to church unity. The essence of unity in the church is not absolute conformity on minor issues but a heart commitment to love and serve one another as to the Lord Himself. (8/20/2006)
- Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees! #8 (SL82-8) ( Stream | Download )
A study of the Pharisees' (and, from Numbers 22, Balaam's) stubborn refusal to submit to the Truth, even when it was clearly revealed to them. The Pharisees and Balaam are extreme cases; nevertheles, this is a tendency in all of us! (10/15/2006)
- Willing to Believe, Willing to Suffer (SL81) ( Stream | Download )
A study of Mary's faith. Being the mother of the Son of God did not guarantee a life of ease, free from suffering and pain. Mary's faith embraced the impossible, pursuing the vision from God, and also embraced the price that came with that vision. This is biblical faith. (1/22/2006)
- Struggle for More of God! (SL80) ( Stream | Download )
God calls us to a greater struggle for a deeper foundation in Him that we may have a greater love one for another and a greater impact in our community and in the nations. The violent take the Kingdom of God by force! (1/9/2006)
- Savior and Lord (SL79) ( Stream | Download )

We face great opportunities with many adversaries (1 Cor. 16:9). The only way we can overcome the adversaries and go through the doors of opportunity successfully will be through the power of God - by faith. And the only way we will grow in faith is by using the faith that we already have. (12/18/2005)
- Why You Need the Baptism in the Holy Spirit (SL75) ( Stream | Download )
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a second experience after the new birth that gives the believer a wonderful empowering for ministry. Jesus, Himself, did not begin His ministry until He had received this empowering, and He told His disciples not to as well. This teaching is an extensive study of the many specific reasons why we need the baptism in the Holy Spirit. (11/20/2005)
- Complaining (SL72) ( Stream | Download )
We complain when we don't get our way. Complaining is an outward expression of an unsubmitted, self-centered, self-pitying heart . Moreover, complaining is a subtle way of avoiding responsibility by putting the blame on someone or something else. How can we stop doing this? (10/16/05)
- Complaining #2: Job's Complaint & God's Response (SL73) ( Stream | Download )
A study of the book of Job; his complaint, God's response and what that means for us. We must trust God, even when the righteous suffer, and even when there are no answers! (10/23/05)
- Complaining #3: My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me? (SL74) ( Stream | Download )
A study of Psalm 22. Even though it may look like God has abandoned you, He has not. And He will, in the end, deliver you! (10/30/05)
