• [Rebroadcast] Triumph of the Cross, Triumph of Love

  Christ's Triumph on the Cross defeated sin and death.  It was a triumph of love over selfishness.  This victory needs to be repeated in our own lives, in our own carrying of the Cross.  Sin and selfishness have to be defeated in us and this entails the acceptance of suffering and sacrifice; in a word the acceptance of the Cross.   Suffering is inevitable in life, but whether it is redemptive and sanctifying or futile and permanent is truly up to us.

• [Rebroadcast] The Power of Trust in Jesus

  Jesus takes five loaves and two fish from a boy and multiplies them to feed a crowd of thousands.  When we trust him, Jesus takes our good will and our meager personal resources and similarly multiplies them to help us and others.  Fortunately, faith is something we can grow in by choosing to do so.  It is a free human act.  By admitting our limitations and weakness and then confidently trying our best to do his will, Jesus makes up the difference between our insufficiency and the great things he wants us to do.

• "To cast fire on the earth": Leading Vibrant Christian Lives

  If you enjoy this podcast please leave a rating and review wherever you listen.  Questions or comments? [email protected].  Christ expresses his burning desire to "cast fire on the earth."  This is a call to an intense Christian life.  To be men and women on fire for the love of God and others, we should look out for self-centered and lukewarm habits and mindsets.  Prayer, mortification and a generous plan for each day help to ignite the fire of God within us.
