Hyper-Grace

At a time when the church needs an urgent wake-up call and a refreshing encounter with Jesus, the hyper-grace message is lulling many to sleep. Claiming to be a new revelation of grace, this teaching is gaining in popularity, but is it true? Or is the glorious truth of grace being polluted by errors, leading to backsliding, compromise, and even the abandonment of faith?

This week on Sharin’ Hearts: The Fireside Bookshelf, Ginger Green shares Hyper-Grace written by Michael Brown which looks at the major teachings put forth by many adherents of this “great reformation” and prayerfully compares those teachings with the word of God, answering questions such as:

·       How does our sin affect our relationship with God?

·        What is the relevance of the Old Testament to our faith?

·        What does Jesus actually say about grace?

Without watering down the Bible’s true message of grace, Michael Brown gives you the facts, demonstrating the dangers of this seductive message and showing you how to keep from being taken in… As we remember to be watchful in all things and are reminded that small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

God Our Righteousness

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Psalm 23:3


Each verse of Psalm 23 gives names of God that describe His character traits. We can imagine David, a shepherd, knowing the depth of love and care that is required to tend to sheep.

David takes his insights and expresses them beautifully about the Great Shepherd, God Almighty, tending to David as a sheep.

Today we are focused on the character of God in verses 3b and digging into supporting scriptures that affirm God our Righteousness (Jehovah Tsidkenu)

Great Pruning

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” John 15:1-2

In the Christian life there’s a promise of pruning in order that we bear much fruit, but not just any fruit – good fruit.

Mostly this comes during times of trials that the testing of our faith will produce…causing growth.

Keeping a good attitude in these trials deepens the roots of our relationship with the Father.

Today we will examine the life of Caleb as our example for keeping our attitude in check while being pruned in the trial.

So we invite you to join in the conversation to get a glimpse of the right attitude during Great Pruning.

What on Earth is Happening?

With the turmoil in today’s world, more and more people are searching for spiritual answers. Yet religious philosophies so often contradict each other. To whom it can return for reliable information?

This week on Sharin’ Hearts: The Fireside Bookshelf, Ginger Green takes a look at What on Earth is Happening? by Ray Stedman. Against the chaos of the current religious landscape stand the authoritative teachings of Jesus. In his Olivet discourse, Jesus described the climax of world history. He warned his disciples of the coming Antichrist, who would lead multitudes astray with his false religion.

At a time when so many prefer to speculate and sensationalize, come be a part as author Ray Stedman offers a sober, rational, thoughtful approach to biblical prophecy in his book, What on Earth is Happening? Because Christ’s message about the end of the age has never been more timely or relevant.

What on Earth Is Happening is the product of Stedman’s careful study of the Olivet discourse of Jesus, found in Matthew 24 – 25, as well as in Mark 13 and Luke 21. Here we find the Lord’s own description of the end of history – a description that dovetails with other prophetic passages of Scripture, from the Old Testament prophecy of Daniel to the New Testament Revelation of the apostle John.

God Our Healer

“He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake” Psalm 23:3


Each verse of Psalm 23 gives names of God that describe His character traits. We can imagine David, a shepherd himself, knowing the depth of love and care that is required to tend to sheep. He takes his insights and expresses them beautifully about the Great Shepherd, God Almighty, tending to David, a sheep himself.

Today we are focused on the character of God in verses 3a and digging into supporting scriptures that affirm God as our Healer (Jehovah Ropheka).

The Good Soil

“But other (seed) fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold” Matthew 13:8

Audio Player

The parable of the sower found in Matthew 13, shares different types of soil that reflect to the heart of man.

When the seed of God’s word is shared the soil of the heart determines how the seed will be received. If the soil is not prepared, it cannot process the seed.

Today we are discussing the good soil of the heart that will not only hear, but receive, and produce fruit; yielding a crop to a hundredfold.

So we invite you to join in the conversation as we discover how to cultivate our heart into The Good Soil
