			<title>God's Hand Upon Him Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God’s providence is made no more clear than in the lives of His faithful children that are devoted to Him. He promises to guide and protect you as a follower of Christ. Today, Pastor David takes you to the book of Acts to encourage you with the examples of how God protected Paul and kept him safe. Even being stranded for weeks at sea in a storm, Paul found comfort in knowing that God was watching out for the men on the boat, and assured those with Him that they would all be okay.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Christians have a hope for every seemingly bad situation that they go through. With The Almighty God’s hand at work for good for you in your life, what do you have to fear? Today, Pastor David takes you to Acts to encourage you with Paul’s example: despite persecution, stoning, ship wrecks, and trials, he made it clear that God’s hand was on him and working in amazing ways for him. God never changes, and what He did for Paul, He can still do for you now, if you give up control and just let Him. </description>

			<title>A Crisis of Non-Faith Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When faced with pressure from the world to give up in your faith, what do you do to regain your strength? Where do you find hope and joy again? Today, Pastor David takes you to the book of Acts to show you the example of Paul when he was on trial. Surrounded by men of little or no faith at all, facing prison and risking a horrible reputation in many individual’s eyes, he proved to have the faith they didn’t. He stood firm in his beliefs and found his hope in God, like we all should continue to do today. </description>

                        <description>As a Christian, you have a hope that far exceeds anything you can find in the world; however, you are not guaranteed a life with no trials or hard times. Today, Pastor David takes you to Acts to show you that no matter what kind of situation you find yourself in, and no matter how bleak things might look, God is faithful, and will comfort you if you seek Him. It is important that you not let doubt sneak its way into your heart, because when you do, you’ll lose sight of God and the hope and guidance he provides.</description>

			<title>Ah, But God Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Life is an interesting thing. We never quite know where ours will go or exactly how it’ll turn out. In today’s message, however, Pastor David reminds us that no matter what, Jesus is the answer. When we choose to follow Christ and deepen our relationship with God, we always have a foundation on which to build. We can trust His promises of eternal life, our forever adoption as His sons and daughters, and protection from the enemy. Stand strong in these promises, especially in times of trouble.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>It’s funny how life often doesn’t work out as we plan. We have grand ideas or dreams, and instead, God leads us in a completely different direction. It may feel like God is actually thwarting your plans or standing in the way of your dreams. But maybe that’s because God’s plan is bigger and different than yours. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages us with the truth that God is sovereign and in control of all His creation. Relax in His love and let Him lead you in the way He desires you to go.  </description>

                        <description>In Pastor David’s teaching today, we learn that God had plans for the Apostle Paul, which included Paul going to Rome. When God has a plan, He makes it happen.

It’s not necessarily the easy way and it may take you on an arduous journey but being on God’s team always leads to victory. Isn’t that an awesome promise!

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Join Pastor David today as he discusses how prejudice keeps you from whole-heartedly serving God. When you’re judging other people, you may be unwilling to serve them. For example, the prophet Jonah was called by God to send an important message of repentance to the Ninevites who were despised because of their immorality and fierce ways. Eventually, Jonah relented, but his heart was never in it. God desires that we live free of prejudice in order to love and serve all people for Christ. </description>

                        <description>God has a plan for every living creature on this earth. We don’t always understand it, it’s not always clear or direct, but He is always completely in control! In today’s message, Pastor David discusses this through the example of the Apostle Paul.

                        <description>The Gospel is all about God’s grace. There’s nothing we can do to earn salvation and there’s nothing we’ve already done to exclude us from receiving it. Today, Pastor David, discusses how the Apostle Paul used every opportunity to communicate to everyone that salvation cannot be earned. It’s completely free through the grace of God and Jesus’ sacrifice. It’s available to everyone who believes in Him and receives Him as Savior! We can learn from Paul’s example and humbly spread the Good News. </description>

			<title>A Divided Grace Part D</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God wants all people to come to Him. He doesn’t expect any of us to be perfect before we do.

                        <description>In 1st Corinthians, Paul said he made himself “all things to all men” in order to spread the Gospel. Even so, he still offended plenty, but as Pastor David will point out in today’s message, his top priority was spreading the Gospel, not refining his own faith experience. He found freedom in Christ that many couldn’t understand, but instead of simply enjoying that freedom for his own comfort or enjoyment, he was willing to abstain or hold himself back if it helped him share Christ with someone. </description>

                        <description>It’s sad how little of an impact many believers have in their community and world. If you’ve come to Christ, you likely remember those early months or years where you had passion and an urgent need to share what you’d found with others. As Pastor David will point out in today’s message, that zeal has a tendency to wane over time, and many tried and true Christians get caught up in keeping up the rules and maintaining the routines and completely forget their first love, Jesus Christ.</description>

In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The trials will look different, but as Pastor David will warn in today’s message, they’ll often be more intense. The assault of the enemy will play on your natural desire to serve self over others.

It’s tempting to take the easy path and avoid hardship wherever possible.  But, as Pastor David will remind us in today’s message, the path a believer is called to walk is not easy. It’s going to be hard.

                        <description>If you ask any faithful follower of Christ to describe their life, very few would use the words “easy” or “comfortable.”  Yet, for many who come to the faith, they’re led to believe that the life of a believer is full of material blessings and ease.

The more you live out your convictions and share the truth of the Gospel, the more resistance you’ll face from an enemy who sees the threat you pose.</description>

                        <description>Unless you’re quoting directly from Scripture, you should never claim that God said something to you. You may feel very strongly that God spoke to you, and He may have, but in humility you need to be careful how you present the message you have to share.  And if it contradicts Scripture, you can know that it was not God that was doing the speaking.

                        <description>Do you remember what Jesus did after He encountered the profiteers in the temple courts? He demonstrated a holy anger that we don’t see anywhere else in the Gospels. It disgusted Him to see these men taking advantage of people who were trying to seek Him.  As Pastor David will warn in today’s message, there are a number of ministries in our society that are guilty of the same charge.  God will not allow them to go unpunished.  They may see rewards in this life, but sadly, their lot will likely be much different in eternity.  </description>

                        <description>Beware of anyone who tries to offer healing or answers to prayer for a price.  That’s a huge red flag.  Any gospel that focuses on the need for you to invest money in order to gain earthly rewards is not the true Gospel.  As Pastor David continues our study of Acts in today’s message, we’ll be reminded that following Jesus is never about personal gain.  It’s about serving God and others.  There are times God will bless you with resources, but they’re to be used towards His purposes, not yours.  </description>

                        <description>The method of God working in individual believers lives are as different as the people themselves.  And though it’s tempting to compare your gifts, calls or faith with another, Paul warns against this.  Today, Pastor David explains how God guides, corrects, empowers, and calls believers in incredibly different ways.  So instead of seeking to imitate others, wishing you have what they have, be guided directly and uniquely by God.  He will lead you and transform you exactly how you need!</description>

                        <description>Do you believe in Jesus?  Many proclaim belief in God but their lives aren’t reflective of a true deep belief and surrender to him in their lives.  Pastor David reminds you today that even the demons intellectually believed in Jesus, but their belief was a far cry from faith.  Paul emphasized in his teaching to the early churches that simply declaring intellectual belief isn’t the true faith.  True faith is about surrendering your life, proclaiming with your mouth and seeking to live obedience to God and all he declares.</description>

                        <description>Apollos, a wise, dedicated and vibrant servant of God received John the Baptists teaching of repentance.  He believed it, understood sin and the need to repent, and taught it with accuracy and fervency.  Yet, as pastor David will explain today, he was not teaching a complete gospel.  Repentance was important to teach, but without believing in the saving grace of the gospel, you had nothing.  With the right teaching of salvation, he became an important pillar of true faith and the gospel.

Yet, he understood the magnitude of the power and hope of salvation for all people.  He desired to preach the gospel wherever it wasn’t known.

However, when he went to corrupt Corinth, he was wholeheartedly rejected by the Jews in that city.  So, Paul trusted God and remained faithful and followed the new direction God gave him.  Today, Pastor David will remind you that Jesus’ sacrifice is for ALL people.   Paul knew salvation was for everyone and shared the hope of the gospel with the gentiles.

			<title>From the Up &amp; Out, to the Down &amp; Out Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>It may feel confusing to try to measure success of ministry. Some try to find success in the number of souls won for Christ.  And while this is a victory to praise God for, a high number isn’t the only indicator of success.  Today, Pastor David will remind you that your faithful ministry may only win a few souls to Christ.  But for those individuals, who now will spend eternity in Heaven, your ministry was worth it.  Walking in obedience to God and following his direction is exactly where you should be, no matter how large or small your impact! </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Paul faced a problem that many of you face today.  He was in the midst of a culture that was full of unbelief and sin.  Pastor David will encourage you to imitate Paul in the way you share the great good news of salvation with broken sinners.  God longs for all to know him.  In fact, every person you meet is someone Jesus died to save who needs to know God’s love.  So, in compassion, ask them their story.  If you listen to them, they might just listen to your story of salvation, of your faith.  In order to care about their eternal salvation, you must care about their lives!

                        <description>How do you choose to live in and engage a pagan and sinful culture as a believer?  If you angrily engage with antagonism and hatred to convince people they need saving will simply drive people farther from Christ.  Today, Pastor David explains how Paul entered into the pagan culture of Athens not to debate or instantly condemn.  He simply had a heart to share the gospel with ALL people even those engaged fully in a sinful life.  He used their cultural situations to enter into a conversation that exposed them to truth in love.  </description>

                        <description>It’s pretty easy these days to hear false teaching in the church.  Jesus warned of this very thing.  And, if you’re not careful, it’s easy to become deceived.  But, as Pastor David points out today, one way to avoid false teaching is to continually, frequently search and know the scriptures.  In order to grow in faith and intimacy with God and avoid falling away to another voice, you must know God’s word.  As you hear messages about the word, in response to God’s faithfulness, invest the time to make sure what you’re hearing is from God.  </description>

                        <description>Believers in a broken and sinful world have so much working against them.  Unbelievers are often hostile and aggressive, rejecting the message of the gospel of Christ.  Yet, as Pastor David will explain today, the power of God working through faithful believers can overcome these overwhelming odds.  Even in the bleakest circumstances, God multiplies the work of the faithful in order to reach and transform multitudes.  It simply requires surrender and an earnest desire to impact this world for Christ.  </description>

The enemy will use any tactic to stop the spread of the gospel, including spreading lies or false imprisonment.  This can be incredibly damaging to a believer, especially new believers.  Today, Pastor David will explain how Paul and Silas bravely declared publically the injustice the Romans inflicted on them.  He did this to call them out and to give the young church there courage despite any future consequences.  Be brave.  Be willing to stand firm in defending your faith.  </description>

                        <description>When you’re willing to hear someone out, your heart becomes soft to what they have to share.  In today’s passage, Pastor David speaks about a woman who already had a basic idea of God, but she was receptive to what Paul and his missionary team imparted to her.  She was known for much material possession, but that wasn’t where her focus was fixed.  She realized something far greater than the things she could acquire financially.  She chose what would last past her riches.</description>

                        <description>As a follower of Christ, you can be sure that any path that He leads you down is going to be for your good and benefit. Today, Pastor David takes you to Acts to show you that even if God’s ways don’t make perfect sense to you, or even if He says no and shuts the door on something you wanted to do, you can always rest in knowing that He has the best in mind for you. God knows what you need and how to take care of you. Do you trust where He leads you, even if it’s not where you really want to go?</description>

We know that He has promised great rewards for following Him to the end, and we get excited about the places He’ll take us. Today, Pastor David takes you to the book of Acts to show you that sometimes God shuts a door in your face that you aren’t to go down. You will be encouraged to continue to trust in God for His sovereignty, no matter how badly you want to go a different direction. Do you trust God to direct every step of your life?</description>

			<title>Christians in Conflict Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Christians, we are called to look after each other and to be like minded. As much as it is up to us, we should live at peace with everyone, especially brothers and sisters in Christ who have the same calling. Today, Pastor David takes you to Acts to show you a disagreement between two brothers in Christ, Paul and Barnabas. Paul writes about being at peace with each other throughout The New Testament, and tells believers to live in likemindedness, and concern for each other. Does that look like you and the relationships you have with the people around you?</description>

                        <description>As Pastor David continues his teaching series through the book of Acts, he'll be exhorting you to remove anything from your life that's robbing your devotion away from the one true God.  Idolatry was the main sin that caused the children of Israel severe pain and chastisement.  When you worship someone or something else over God, it leads you down a destructive path of all sorts of wickedness.  You can even make your career, or even your family idols!  God needs to have the first place in your heart and life.       </description>

Reason being, they were entrusted to teach God's people the Word of God, but instead, they taught man made traditions and caused being to drift away from God.  Today, Pastor David will be explaining how important it is for you to study the Word of God for yourself, so you're not solely dependent on other people to interpret the scriptures for you.  </description>

Some don't even have a basic understanding of God, and need to be taught from the ground up.  You can't preach the same way to everyone.  </description>

			<title>The Conflict of Intellect &amp; Religion Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The gospel is simple. Jesus Christ came to earth to die for the sins of mankind, so that after death, we could be reunited with God. When we add anything to this message, we actually detract from it. Jesus is the only thing we need. Apart from Him, we can’t work for our salvation, we can’t live a life pleasing to God, we can’t give or serve enough. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages you to read the Bible and hear the simple, honest Word of God which will open your eyes to the truth of Jesus Christ.    </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>People often look at outward things to judge a person’s worth and character. But God also sees what’s in the heart. Today, Pastor David reminds you that intellect and religion will only get you so far with God. Instead, what God wants is a personal relationship with you. He desires your whole heart, mind, and soul. The truth of the gospel is simple. Jesus came to earth, died for you, and when you acknowledge this, you are saved. There is nothing difficult about it. Have you made a choice for Jesus?</description>

Studying the Bible in seminary, and increasing your knowledge is a great thing, but make sure you don't allow yourself to get proud and puffed up.

			<title>Without Limits Without Borders Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus isn't just a good guy that people remember for being inspirational.  He isn't a prophet whose extreme views got Him killed.  Pastor David reminds you today that Jesus is the all knowing omega who came here, allowed Himself to become man, and allowed Himself to be sacrificed for all of mankind.

                        <description>Some people are spiritually blinded by the lies of Satan and His darkness. Pastor David says that when God’s light shines in, it bothers them. Christians tend to hate these people, because they are going against God. It’s easy to immediately move into this attitude, but this is not an attitude of Christ. You need to pray that someday they come to see the truth and are able to accept Christs’ calling. Someday they may be the ones to share the truth to others who are blinded. Today, let’s listen to how God turns Terrorists into Evangelists. </description>

			<title>Terriorist to Evangelist Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We need to be listening for God’s voice and say, “Here I am Lord!” Our world is a very noisy place. Often, we can’t hear His voice because of the chaos. Pastor David reminds us that if we don’t slow down or stop to listen we may miss His calling to us. You need to take time out daily to get quiet before the Lord and listen to see if He is calling your name. That might mean you have to leave the house or go to a coffee shop with head phones and your bible. Today Pastor David will encourage you to take that time to be still. </description>

			<title>The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David teaches that Saul kicked long and hard at the calling that God was trying to put on his life. God kept calling to him. “Saul, Saul, Saul”. Saul must have had a hard time listening. Has God ever called your name?  Did you listen? Often you hear it at work, at home, or in your neighborhood. Many times you hear the truth but don’t surrender. Don’t be like Saul. Surrender immediately when He calls your name the first time!
You won’t regret it!

			<title>The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David is teaching about the word convert. He says the closest Christian definition is; to change something into a different form or to transform. It’s more than a change of character. True Christian conversion is a total transformation. You put away your old life and old ways. You do your best to become like Jesus. It isn’t always easy. The old saying, “Old habits die hard”, is very true. We are comfortable in our old ways, but those ways had nothing to do with Jesus, so we need to put them away for something so much better!</description>

                        <description>Often times people are content with their rituals of attending church, reading a chapter a day, and placing a check in the offering each month.  But, for some, this isn’t enough.  Are you too easily satisfied with a stale, ritual religion instead of a personal, true relationship with God?  Today, Pastor David will encourage you if you want a closer relationship with God.  Dig into scripture, ask questions and seek to know him more.  God is faithful and will meet you and reveal himself to you in powerful ways!

                        <description>Some people who are sincere, curious and searching for God may feel too different, too broken to be accepted.  They desire to know Him but may feel confused by the bible.  They know something is missing but are shunned or rejected by those in the church building.  Today, Pastor David wants to encourage you with the truth that God knows you, fully and intimately.  And He loves you deeply – enough to send Christ to die for you.  Respond to those desires to know God.  That’s the Holy Spirit drawing you to Him!</description>

And because of the power of the Holy Spirit in these early servants, the number of believers continued to grow and multiply.  But, as Pastor David will explain today, not all believed, truly, for salvation.  Sometimes people declare belief for the wrong reasons.  Simon the magician believed in God in order to try to obtain the power of the Spirit.

                        <description> God’s spirit was alive and active in the early church in Jerusalem.  His apostles were bringing new believers to faith.  They were doing good work serving God’s people there.  Yet, as Pastor David points out today, this is the point at which God called his servants to scatter to other nations.  It didn’t make sense.  But, ultimately, God’s plan was far bigger and more exciting than any of his disciples could understand.  His word spread and His name was proclaimed as believers trusted his call and followed in faith.  </description>

                        <description>Sometimes it’s hard to hold onto the hope that God is good All of the Time.  Believers are attacked and slandered.  They may even die for the cause of Christ like Stephen, the first martyr.  Today, Pastor David will encourage you with the fact that though you may be stuck in a horrible circumstance, God is powerful and present.  He’s at work and will use the wickedness of the enemy to further the work of the gospel for eternal glory.  He has something greater in store when you’re overwhelmed with the present.  </description>

                        <description>It frequently happens that when you’re doing well and you’re making a great impact for the kingdom, the enemy may attack. Satan can’t stand success for the kingdom of God and knows you are likely less alert for his presence.  Today, Pastor David will challenge you to be on guard.  When Satan can’t measure up to the power and wisdom the Holy Spirit brings, he’ll attack through people accusing, slandering and perhaps even hurting you.  God provided Stephen with peace and bravery and promises to be with you as well.</description>

Today Pastor David will remind you that you are filled and led by the Holy Spirit to serve.  He will guide you and he will equip you.  Are you willing to let God use you by serving the body?  Even if no one knows your name or what you do, God knows.   He sees what you do for Him to further His kingdom.  </itunes:summary>

			<title>The Ever Present Need Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>How can people who have vastly different opinions, backgrounds and educations ever hope to get along in the long run?  Is there any hope that a church body made up of such different people can be united?  As you’ll discover with Pastor David today, there is indeed hope.  Believers are united under Christ.  Believers are part of one body.  Don’t let practical, temporal things dictate who you’ll serve or love.  Christ’s blood covers all differences and allows you to love, care and serve all people.  </description>

			<title>No Middle Ground Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>There is a battle within each person between the heart and the flesh.  When the Holy Spirit prompts you to follow Christ, you have to decide if you let go of this world and its empty promises and grab onto the truth and hope of the gospel.  Today, Pastor David will encourage you to examine your life and decide if you’re willing to surrender to the hand of God and his will in your life.  And there’s no middle ground.  You must decide.  Neutrality about God, means you’ve chosen the world.  If you wait  you may be separated from God forever.  </description>

You’ve read of the miracles that Jesus performed, the lessons he taught and the faith of his beloved in the bible.  But, as Pastor David will explain today, knowing this will never save you.  You must be willing to let go of the things of this world – like prestige, position or financial comforts, to grow in relationship with God.  You have a decision to make whether you’ll surrender your daily life to Jesus and live the abundant life he’s called you to.  </description>

                        <description>The Holy Spirit was moving mightily as the message of the gospel was beginning to go out.  Yet, as Pastor David will explain today, the enemy wouldn’t let go without a fight.  He brought persecution and distractions to derail the spread of the gospel.  He can do this in your life today.  The more of a threat you are to him the harder he will fight against you.  Yet, you must remember, ultimately, he is a defeated foe.  He can’t ever destroy the work of Christ! God’s plan will prevail! </description>

                        <description>Do you think it matters to God how you live your life?  Do you show integrity to others by the way you live? It matters to God, the church, yourself and definitely the world. People are always watching Christians to see how they will fail. One thing you can’t fail to do, is repent. Today Pastor David teaches that God gave Ananias and Sapphira the chance to repent, but they rejected Him and were punished. God wants the best for you and the best is for you to repent so that you can live with Him forever!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David teaches that a clear presentation of the facts of the gospel message doesn’t change lives. It needs to be a work on the inside that person by the Holy Spirit. You need to come to a place of repentance and full acceptance of the truth. You have the head knowledge but need a heart change. God knew we needed a Savior, so He sent Jesus to die for everyone’s sins. The Holy Spirit is the one who will change your heart from the inside out. Will you let Him?

                        <description>Sometimes we pray for things and expect an answer immediately. It may feel like God is taking forever to answer or that He may NEVER answer. We have all prayed those prayers! It may be discouraging and frustrating. God is always right there, He may be saying “Not today my child, be patient, don’t worry!” Pastor David encourages you that God will answer you, but in His time and in His own way. He wants you trust Him fully, even when you can’t see His plan!

                        <description>Living in the earliest days of the new believing church was incredibly difficult.  But one thing that kept them strong, kept them growing and kept them secure was their devotion to fellowship with each other and to prayer and teaching.  Pastor David will point out today that they were so impacted by these things, that the early church spread far and wide.  Be involved in each other’s lives, show committed friendship, and spend time to grow together.   The world will know you’re Christ’s disciple by how well you love each other.  </description>

                        <description>The best way to convert a believer isn’t to stand on a platform and threaten Hell.  It’s not to loan out a good spiritual book to an unbelieving friend.  Today, you’ll discover with Pastor David that the best way is to share the gospel and make believers is word of mouth, one believer to another.  Personal testimony of what God has done in your life is powerful.  The gospel can spread because of the clear demonstration of how the gospel had changed your life.  You can tell of the impact Jesus has had in your life and hearts will be touched.  </description>

                        <description>Guilt is a powerful thing.  Feeling broken for the sin and evil you’ve done is a heavy burden.  But it’s in the midst of this brokenness that Jesus’ mercy and forgiveness become active in your life and you become new. Your guilt is gone, your sin is forgiven.  Today Pastor David will explain the next step in response to this internal change that happens in your heart. Be baptized, in obedience, to demonstrate and give testimony that you were dead to sin and now are washed and made alive in Christ.

                        <description>It’s really hard to admit you are wrong, isn’t it! Especially to a God who is Holy and perfect.  However, God is the one who most deserves and cares about your admission of sin and desire to change.  And yelling of damnation to come to unbelievers isn’t the way to help them to reach that point of repentance.  As Pastor David will explain today, bringing others to repentance is an act of the Holy Spirit through you sharing the hope and forgiveness and love available because of what Jesus did on the cross.  </description>

                        <description>Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes we can make as believers is comparing our ministries and the way God works in each of our lives. While sharing our testimonies is great for encouragement, comparing for the sake of pride is extremely detrimental. As Pastor David will teach you in his message today, God works in each and every one of us in a unique way. In his study, you'll learn how comparing works not only puts God in a box, but it can just as easily lead to pride, frustration, and discouragement.

                        <description>Chances are you've had your fair share of moments in life where you needed to make an extremely big decision. While many of us deal with these in fervent prayer and counsel, things tend to get a little more complicated when large decisions involve several people. In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the importance of prayer and heavenly wisdom, rather than worldly emotions. In his study, you'll learn about the replacement of Judas Iscariot and the diligent prayers of the apostles during the process.</description>

                        <description>On a scale of one to ten, how much depth, honesty, and complexity would you say is involved in your prayer life? From a simple prayer before a meal being a one, and a fasted, isolated, contrite spirit of a prayer being a ten, where would you say you're at? In today's message, Pastor David will encourage you to reflect on your prayer life and address the areas that might be lacking. In his study, you'll learn about the power of heart felt, faith filled, Kingdom driven prayers and how they move God's hand. </description>

			<title>The Acts of the Holy Spirit Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Among the many denominations throughout the world, there are some who unfortunately believe that the power of The Spirit was only for the early Church. While some limit it to just the disciples, others claim that it was a temporary institution until the Church was big enough. However, as Pastor David will teach you in his message today, this same power is still available for believers today. In his study, you'll learn how God still uses His Spirit to radically move through the lives of individuals throughout the world.

Whether we were born and raised in a church or we've been going for decades since the day we were saved, it's just second nature to us.

                        <description>Where do you draw your strength from?  What about wisdom?  Are you relying on your own willpower and understanding?  As Pastor David encourages us in today’s message, when Jesus tells us to cast our nets on the other side of the boat, we can trust that He has the power to fill those nets.  He is the Creator of the Universe, and He is all-knowing.  Even when it makes no sense by our human understanding, He is a wise and caring Savior and we can trust in Him.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The men that started the early church were just that, they were men.  They were flawed; they were weak; and they lacked the wisdom to understand what God was doing.  Does that sound familiar?  As Pastor David wraps up the book of Luke in today’s message, we can take comfort in knowing that God does not require perfect vessels to carry His message.  It is Christ that takes these broken vessels and transforms them into complete and capable instruments of His Gospel.

In some cases, we may even question if He is listening.  In today’s message, Pastor David reassures us that He is listening, and He will respond.  It may not fit within our time frame, but He is a loving Father, and when we seek to follow Him and know His will, we can trust that He will reveal it to us in His perfect time.

                        <description>As the crucifixion of Jesus approached, His disciples struggled to grasp the magnitude of what He was telling them.  He wanted to warn them; to prepare them for what was about to happen and offer them hope, but they couldn’t get their mind off of their own agendas.  As Pastor David challenges us in today’s message, we need to be wary of making the same mistake as the disciples.  Instead of spending our prayer time asking God to assist with our plans, we should spend more time listening for Him to reveal His plans for us.   	                     </description>

			<title>The Seven Last Sayings Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus and His Father were one throughout all of eternity leading up to the cross.  As severe as the physical pain was, the spiritual pain of being torn from unity with His Father is impossible for us to imagine.

			<title>The Seven Last Sayings Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When we continue to live a life of sin, indulging the selfish desires of our hearts and flesh, we are displaying our ignorance for the true weight of our actions.  Our sins represent hearts that have chosen to rebel against the heart of God and the law and order that He put in place.  As Pastor David reminds us in today’s message, the collective weight of all mankind’s sin was placed squarely on Jesus on the cross.  We will never be truly sinless in this mortal existence; it is only because Christ bore our sin that we can be seen as righteous before God.

			<title>The Wondrous Wretched Cross Part 2 </title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Jesus hung on the cross, in unimaginable pain, He was able to look out on His accusers with compassion and grace in His heart.  The sin of every man, woman and child, starting with Adam, was responsible for putting Him on that cross.  As Pastor David reminds us, every time we choose selfishness and sin, we are rejecting the salvation that was purchased on that instrument of torture.  Even still, He died for us, knowing that He was bringing hope to the hopeless and redemption for those who accept His gift.             </description>

                        <description>How incredible is the love of God!  In today’s message, Pastor David helps paint a detailed picture of the extreme level of suffering that the cross inflicted on its victims.  It was designed to slowly destroy the body in an excruciatingly painful way.  Yet, knowing all this, having a human body, subject to all the pain a man can experience, Jesus willingly took the cup His Father passed to Him.  He did it out of a deep, immeasurable love for all mankind, including those who nailed Him to that cross.            </description>

			<title>Spitting in the Face of God Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Jesus was being prepared for trial, the soldiers took pleasure in persecuting Him.  Spitting in His face, mocking Him, beating Him.  Yet, He was doing this for them as much as He was for any of us.  What incredible grace!  As Pastor David explains in today’s message, humanity continues to spit in the face of God through their ignorance and denial of His sovereignty and loving forgiveness.  There is no neutral ground.  Either you are with God or you are against Him.

                        <description>The message of unity being proclaimed and pushed by so many in our society is certainly appealing.  It sounds like a good thing, and it can be, but as Pastor David explains in today’s message, there’s a caveat.  A unity that denies the truth is bound for failure.  To have lasting unity, we must be drawn together in the truth of the Gospel.  True peace and unity can only be wrought from the inside out as we are transformed by the love and grace of Jesus Christ.    </description>

                        <description>It is at the top of the mountain that you have the longest way to fall.  When we think we are at our best, we are often at our most vulnerable.  When we start seeing ourselves as spiritually strong, it’s easy to forget our desperate need for the strength found only in Jesus Christ.  In today’s message, Pastor David warns us against spiritual arrogance.

			<title>Jesus Knows Our Every Weakness Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus knew and understood His disciples better than they even knew themselves.  The same is true of us.  We may fool our fellow believers, even our closest friends and family members, but we cannot fool Him.  As Pastor David reminds us in today’s message, He sees us at our weakest and knows the state of our heart.  This should not cause fear or shame, but instead bring us comfort and hope.  He sees our weakness, yet He loves us and desires to draw us close to Himself.      	</description>

			<title>Enduring Love and Unceasing Patience Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In one of His final moments leading up to His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus took the time to wash His disciple’s feet.  Even those of His betrayer.  As Pastor David explains, this act is a great example of how we should interact with our world.  It exemplified God’s enduring love and patience.  He looked at this world that has hated Him and rejected Him, and He loved us.  He went beyond just feeling love and stepped in front of a bullet for us.  We deserved eternal death, but He gave Himself so we could have eternal life.</description>

                        <description>Most of us, when asked, would probably list patience as a trait that we could use more of.  Even those that are blessed with more than others, could still could use more.   This is a trait that is exemplified in God throughout Scripture and in His continued dealings with humanity.  As Pastor David reminds us in today’s message, God’s patience cannot be exhausted.  Mankind has tried, but there is no end to His love and grace.  It even extended to the point of giving His Only Son for our salvation.	</description>

                        <description>It’s easy to find excuses and ignore that quiet voice or gentle nudge that pushes us to do something out of the ordinary or uncomfortable.  It’s easy in everyday life to miss those opportunities to step out in faith and follow Jesus.  As Pastor David reminds us in today’s message, we serve a powerful and all-knowing God.  If we are carefully listening, we will hear God’s call in our daily lives.  Often times, we won’t understand His will or direction, but if we trust Him and follow, we can expect Him to do great things through us. 	  </description>

In the same way that He presented the enslaved Israelites with protection from the death of the firstborn, He presented Christ as a sacrificial Lamb, bringing salvation to anyone who accepts His gift.

                        <description>Judas literally walked with Jesus, witnessing His miracles first hand, hearing all of His teaching.  He was an apostle, a follower, he bore all the signs of being a believer, but, as Pastor David explains in today’s message, while Judas lived in close proximity to Jesus, his heart was far away.  While the betrayal may not be as severe or apparent, there are those in the church today whose hearts betray Christ.  They look and act like a believer, but it doesn’t go any deeper than that.

                        <description>One of the biggest deceptions that Satan levies against us is the idea that we are basically good and surely God will grant us a pass for our good behavior.  It’s an easy pill to swallow, but the truth we learn in Scripture is that all of us are born into sin and deserving of eternal judgement.  As Pastor David emphasizes in today’s message, just living a life that somewhat resembles righteousness isn’t good enough.

Both forms distract from the fullness of an intimate relationship with God.  Drunkenness may be easy to avoid for most of us, but the amusements of this world often sink their claws into us in a more subtle manner.

As Pastor David warns us in today’s message, when we encounter an enemy of the Gospel, it’s possible they will know Scripture just as well, or even better than us.  We can spout verse after verse, but they will fire right back, and we may find ourselves foundering.  It is important to study and know God’s Word, but sometimes our most effective evangelism tool is to tell our own story of salvation and what Christ has done for us.  	 </description>

			<title>End Times Preparation Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As believers, we can expect persecution.  Especially as we approach the end times, we will begin to experience more and more outright oppression.  This does not sound appealing.  No one looks forward to pain or mistreatment.  But as believers, we can take a different perspective.  Pastor David encourages us to see persecution as an opportunity to display the love and grace of Jesus Christ.  It may be met with animosity, but there is a chance that the light of your Savior will pierce the hardened heart of your oppressor.	 </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The state of our world is pretty bad.  Darkness has taken hold and if we look at current events and historical context, it’s not hard to find alignment with end-times prophecy found in Scripture.  For some this brings fear and anxiety.  But, as Pastor David encourages us in today’s message, as believers, we have nothing to fear.  Things will get worse, and this world may bring harm to our flesh, but we have a greater hope of eternal communion with our Savior.

No, of course not, but that’s just what the poor widowed woman we encounter in Luke 21 did.

As Pastor David explains, her offering expressed a heart that was fully trusting in and devoted to God.  She gave all she had had because she knew God would provide.</description>

Our light is not fueled by our own strength and energy, but by the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.  We may struggle to see His light, but it is there and no darkness can stand against it.

                        <description>The priests and leaders of the Jews had a good thing going with the temple “business”.  They were lining their pockets with profits from the exploitation of people’s sacrifice.  This sacred act between the people and God was defiled by their greed.  In today’s message, Pastor David asks us to examine our own hearts as well as our churches.  Are we seeking to serve ourselves, or are we focused on glorifying and drawing near to God?

                        <description>As humans, we love to think we control our own destiny.  We think we can make our own way and control outcomes through our own capabilities.  As Pastor David shows us in today’s message, the religious leaders of Jesus’ day had taken over the temple of God and were exploiting it and God’s people for their own gain.  When Jesus came along, He disrupted that.  He turned tables and showed them how wrong they were.  He does the same thing in our lives.  It may be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary for our growth.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt, and people worshiped Him as Messiah - THIS was the day! However, they focused so much on what God did NOT do, and completely missed what He DID do. They were longing for a Messiah who would free them from the Roman Empire and establish Israel again. While they expected a worldly and temporary salvation, they missed God’s much greater plan: their salvation for eternity! Pastor David will encourage us not to miss what the Lord is doing in our lives – even today!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God has offered His salvation to each of us. His grace and His mercy have been given to ALL His children equally. No one has received more than the other. However, in today’s study, Pastor David will talk about how differently each one may manage, grow and multiply what they have received… Some may bare much fruit, while others not so much - even though they all received the same “seed” to begin with. Our master will return soon… Have we been faithful to what we have been given?</description>

                        <description>In today’s study, Pastor David will speak of “God incidences”, when He places us on the right place at the right time, in divine encounters. We will learn the story of Zacchaeus, who used to steal money from people… until one day, he climbed up a tree, curious to see who Jesus was. Jesus saw him, called him down, and said he would go eat with him at his house. Zacchaeus trajectory was suddenly changed! The world runs in a tight schedule… but God wants to interrupt our agenda, and fulfill the plans He has for us!

We will learn the heart and importance of PRAYER - if God is going to do HIS plan anyway... then why pray?? We will also learn about the Pharisees example of PRIDE and how that can destroy you. Jesus resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.</description>

			<title>The Kingdom of God and the Last Days Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As in the times of Noah and Lot, people live their lives today unaware that the judgment of God is coming. And by the time we realize that the judgment is here, it’s too late to make different decisions... Today, Pastor David will encourage us to see where we are SPIRITUALLY. Maybe our hearts and minds are still attached to this world, instead of God. NOW is the time to surrender our lives completely to the Lord, before His return. We will study what the Bible says about the Last Days and the rapture of the Church.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>There is such curiosity and interest about the End Times, even outside the church; but what does the Bible really say about it? Unbelievers may expect some unbiblical destruction, but Jesus Himself had a lot to say about the Last Days. The Pharisees had many misconceptions about that matter, and about the come of the Kingdom of God. Pastor David will teach us the difference between His Kingdom coming and Jesus returning. Above all, as believers, we should keep our eyes detached from this world, and focus on what’s eternal!</description>

We will explore the story of the 10 lepers. Even though 9 of them never came back to thank Jesus, and some of them were not even Jews, Jesus healed them ANYWAY! That’s GRACE!

                        <description>Today, Pastor David will teach about Jesus’ encounter with the 10 lepers, and their desperate call for mercy. Leprosy truly is a terrible disease that affects not only the person’s body, but also impacts tremendously their social life. In that challenging situation, we see their urgency for Jesus to take care of their immediate need. However, Jesus wants to bless them FULLY. And since they didn’t come back to thank Him (after they got what they wanted), the only one who returned to Jesus was completely restored.</description>

                        <description>As Christians, we are expected to FORGIVE! However, forgiving can be really hard… Today, Pastor David will share that exercising forgiveness doesn’t require great FAITH; it requires faithful OBEDIENCE. Releasing forgiveness will allow you to walk in FREEDOM. We forgive even if the other person doesn’t ask for forgiveness… and even if they keep making the same mistake. Forgiveness actually has nothing to do with the other person; it is all about YOU. We forgive as Jesus forgives us!</description>

			<title>Just or Unjust Steward Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>There is nothing that we own that didn’t come from God. As we study Jesus’ parable about the unjust steward, Pastor David will teach valuable principals we can learn in this story. During our lifetime, we are managers of God’s resources and His blessings to us here on Earth. It is our responsibility. How have we managed what God has given us? Our finances, our talents, our time, our job, our hobbies, our health, our family… How can we worship Him and honor Him in all of it?</description>

			<title>The God of Redemption Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Our God is a God of reconciliation! Pastor David will teach the parable of The Prodigal Son, and God’s heart to redeem us. The prodigal son left his father to live a life of sin – and was quickly suffering the consequences of that poor choice. However, when the son comes back home, the father RUNS to him and restores him into the family! That’s God’s heart! He moves in grace, compassion and mercy, rather than in judgment! That was a difficult lesson for the Pharisees to learn – as they acted just like the legalistic older son.</description>

                        <description>Being a disciple of JESUS is not a flippant thing.  Even though many claims have been made about discipleship, too often we see a great discrepancy between the way people live and what the Bible says are the characteristics of a true disciple.  In our time with Pastor David, we’ll take a look at what the Bible says about discipleship.  Although many have professed to be followers of JESUS, God makes a distinction between those who are honestly pursing JESUS as true followers of the Son of God.

                        <description>JESUS always knew how to turn the tests back around on the religious leaders who continually challenged His Authority as the Son of God.  And although there was never a moment when they had the upper hand on JESUS, it never seemed to get through to them that everything He did was above reproach.  In our time with Pastor David today, we’re reminded that God’s heart for the people always trumped the rules and practices of religious people.  No one was ever able to misalign the ministry of JESUS.

			<title>Stay on Mission Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Believers need to count the cost when ministering in the Name of JESUS.  Because there has never been a time when there hasn’t been push back when advancing the Kingdom of God.  In our time with Pastor David, we’ll consider the cost of staying steadfast in the truth.  It’s very important that we are prepared for spiritual warfare when ministering the gospel message.  But if we take our stand and remain steadfast in our faith, we will advance the Kingdom and be rewarded by JESUS in the end.

But since we’re willing to stay on mission to faithfully proclaim our hope in JESUS Christ, we should realize that push back is inevitable.  As we listen to Pastor David today, we will be encouraged to take some things into consideration when it comes to the realities of staying on mission.  To take a stand for the Lordship of Christ brings push back from those who have yet to enter into the Kingdom of God.

                        <description>If anything is needed, it’s repentance.  No matter how good or bad our lives may seem, we should continually repent from what we know is sin.  In our time with Pastor David, we’re reminded of the value of a heart attitude of repentance.  Not because we need to be saved, but because we ARE saved!  All believers are delivered from the penalty of sin, but need to remember that thoughts and attitudes are under construction.  We ought to live in such a way that shows gratitude for the remission of our sin.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When we come to Christ, we can’t expect to avoid division.  JESUS knew and warned that the message of the Kingdom would separate people from one another.  In our time with Pastor David, we’ll hear about the inevitable push back that comes from people who are resistant to entering the Kingdom.  If we choose to follow Christ, we need to be prepared for a battle over the genuineness of our faith.  Even well-meaning friends and loved ones should be expected to challenge God’s Lordship in our lives. </description>

                        <description>What does it mean when God says He’s going to separate the wheat from the chaff?  And is that something we need to be concerned about?  In today’s program, we’ll endeavor to understand what the Lord wanted to us to know about this powerful truth.  According to Pastor David, when God says He’s going to burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire, He’s not talking about what He plans to do to believers.  But the fire is meant for the unbelieving who refuse to repent from their sin.

                        <description>There a number of theories on the return of Christ, but the Bible teaches that no man knows the day or hour of His return.  In light of all the waiting and theories, one thing we know for sure:  He’s coming back.  In our time with Pastor David today, we’ll hear what the Bible says about having a mind-set that is future focused, ready for His return.  While some grow weary in the speculation and waiting, others will renew their strength by advancing the Kingdom of God by the gospel of JESUS Christ.

But if we deal with anxiousness through prayer, we can overcome the temptation to give place to it in our lives.

To be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving turn to God in prayer.

                        <description>God loves to bless His children.  And one of the ways He does that is through financial prosperity.  Not everyone who loves God will become rich… or should even seek to become rich.  But when we are blessed in this way, it is for the purpose of being a blessing.  In our time with Pastor David, we’ll consider how we might be able to bless others as we seek to honor God.  There’s nothing wrong with being rich.  Wealth is to be enjoyed.  But riches should never get in the way of our relationship with God.  </description>

While responses are sure to vary, one thing is certain; God loves to bless His children and teaches them to be satisfied.  In today’s program with Pastor David, we’ll consider how we might receive from God in a way that does not create a hindrance.  No amount of blessing can ever become a problem if it doesn’t compete with our relationship with God.  We must learn to be good stewards of His provision and find satisfaction in our relationship with God.

                        <description>Have you ever noticed that people don’t mind if you talk about God or His love as long as you don’t mention the Name of JESUS?  It’s been that way since the beginning.  The Name of JESUS brings offense… even to some who claim to follow Him but want to avoid conflict.  As Pastor David shares today, if we only speak of the love and mercies of God, but leave out the reality of sin, we run the risk of misrepresenting the Truth.  God will hold us accountable to the measure of truth we are given.</description>

                        <description>The truth isn’t popular.  And if we think about it, how could it be?  Since the Name of JESUS has never been popular, the Truth can’t possibly be either.  In fact, we know that JESUS identifies Himself as the Truth, the Way AND the Life.  So as Pastor David points out, the Truth will never sell as well as lies.  Worldly people only want to hear about things that don’t challenge their sin.  The fact is that the majority hide themselves from the truth because the truth dispels darkness and shines a light on our sin</description>

			<title>Warning to Hypocrites Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Hypocrisy breaks God’s heart.  Not only because of the false nature of our devotion, but because it can lead other people astray.  If we claim to have a relationship with JESUS, it’s important to remember to be genuine in our language and attitudes with God and in our relationships with other people.  As we hear JESUS warning through the teachings of Pastor David, it would be a good time to administer a heart-check to be sure if what we believe is in keeping with true love for Word of God.

			<title>Warning to Hypocrites Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>JESUS sees right through us.  We know this to be true because He always discerned the hearts of the people around Him, especially the religious leaders who were filled with evil motivations.  In today’s message with Pastor David, we’ll hear how JESUS warned the people about the dangers of following the religious leaders.  Nothing JESUS did or said could ever convince them of the Truth, yet He makes the distinction between those who truly follow Him and those who do not.</description>

			<title>A Dark Facade of Religion Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God isn’t impressed with religious ceremony and self-importance.  So if we become more concerned about what people think through the demonstration of religious activities, rather than pleasing God, we’ll walk in self-deception.  In today’s message with Pastor David, let’s take the opportunity to hear how the Word of God weighs our actions and motivations concerning worship.  If what we seek are the praises of men that is all we’ll get.  But if our hearts are pure, we will bless the Lord.

                        <description>JESUS always confronted the religious for their unbelief.  Abraham, who they claimed as Father, was justified by faith.  Yet when JESUS came to fulfill the Scriptures, they continued to reject Him and refused to receive Him by faith.  As we get into today’s teaching with Pastor David, we’ll consider the religious people continued to challenge His identity and authority as Messiah.  JESUS, the Son of God was in their midst yet they would not believe what they saw and heard with their very eyes.

			<title>A Determined Blindness Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Our relationship with God is more black and white than we like to think.  As Pastor David explains in today’s teaching, when we coast through life, we will inadvertently partner with the enemy.  If we allow the flesh to take control by living for ourselves, we will give up too much ground when we should be powerfully advancing the Kingdom of God.  The enemy loves it when we sit back and rest on our eternal assurance. Unless we are growing in Christ, we will surely be ripped off by the enemy of our souls.

                        <description>JESUS was continually tested by the religious authorities.  And while it’s not a bad thing to test what we hear, wrong motivations can blind the eyes of those administering the test!  As we listen to Pastor David, we’ll learn about the thoughts and motivations that blinded the eyes of the religious authorities who came in attempt to expose Him.  God knows our thoughts, and by the power of the Holy Spirit we can discern the hidden motivations of a person’s heart too.  With JESUS, nothing is left unexposed.

So when we persist in prayer according to His will, He will give to us generously in keeping with His Word.

He delights in us when we express our hearts before Him.  God loves to show Himself faithful when we come to Him in prayer. </description>

                        <description>We need God today, tomorrow, and always. The question is, do we ask for Him every day? Pastor David today looks in depth at the Lord’s Prayer, and shares with us the importance of asking God each day to provide what we need. Today, we may need food, or help on a difficult task, or love for another person. Tomorrow, we will likely need those things again and possibly more! Asking God each day to provide what we need reminds us to rely on Him for everything, big and small, and to put Him first always! </description>

			<title>One Thing is Needful Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Each person on earth has unique gifts and talents that God has given us. These gifts are to be used to glorify God, and to help bring His message to everyone we meet. Today, Pastor David reminds us that sometimes this can seem lonely, as if you are the only one serving God amidst the evil of the world. You are not alone, however! Everyone brings their uniqueness to serving God, but everyone is still capable of serving God, and many are! Our task is to serve Him the way we were designed to serve Him!</description>

			<title>Will You Be A Neighbor Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message from Luke’s Gospel, we will hear Pastor David preach on the story of the Good Samaritan. In this parable, Jesus was teaching us how God sees people. The Lord does not classify mankind according to rank, class, ethnicity, or race. Instead, the Lord sees each one of us equally. As Christ’s disciples, the Spirit empowers us to see others the way God sees. The story of the Good Samaritan teaches us that to be a good neighbor is to meet the physical and spiritual needs of those that God puts in our path.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In Luke chapter 10, a lawyer who was very educated in the Mosaic Law presented Jesus with a very important question. While the man’s question was a good one, his motivation for asking was to trap the Lord. As always, Christ’s answer proved that He could not be bested by men’s schemes. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that Jesus’s wise response proves that though men may try to earn their way to God by doing good, the only way to salvation is through the power and message of the cross.</description>

                        <description>In Luke chapter 10, Jesus said, “The harvest is plenty but the workers are few.” In today’s message, Pastor David unpacks these powerful words. We will learn that the Lord was not speaking of a physical harvest, but He was alluding to a great spiritual harvest of souls. Christ knew that there were many people ready to receive salvation. However, Jesus also understood that as He was sending out His disciples, there were only a few ready and willing to participate in gathering this spiritual harvest. </description>

In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David teaches us that if we are fully committed to Christ, it will cost us. The Lord knew that we would have to sacrifice to follow Him, so He said things like, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” Jesus also said quite plainly that we should count the cost before we set out on our journey in the Lord.

			<title>Mountain Top Experience Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>At the Mountain of Transfiguration, Jesus revealed His glory. His clothes became like white lightening and His face shone like the sun. Incredibly, Peter, James, and John were asleep while some of this was happening. When the men finally woke from their slumber, they saw the gloried Lord and were completely astonished. Pastor David teaches us in today’s message that sometimes we are asleep at the wheel when God is doing something miraculous in our midst. However, through the Spirit, we can be jolted out of our slumbers. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus Christ should have precedence over all things in the life of every believer. Money, cars, clothes, houses, and even relationships should never replace or drown out our desire to know and love God. In today’s message from Luke chapter 9, Pastor David reminds us that if we gain all that we want in this life but do not have a relationship with the Lord, our soul will suffer forever. Therefore, we would do well to remind ourselves when temptations come that the only things that will remain in the end are Jesus Christ and His Bride.

Instead, true discipleship is about sacrifice and putting another’s needs ahead of your own. In today’s message from Luke, Pastor David encourages us to make the difficult decision to make daily right choices that are pleasing to the Lord. As we consistently do the right thing, the Holy Spirit produces good fruit through us that is pleasing in the sight of the Lord and among men.</description>

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that we can only be born again when the Spirit of God reveals Jesus, the Son of God.

                        <description>Who do you say Jesus is? Jesus said that He was God. Christ also said that it was only through Him that we could be reconciled to the Father. Therefore, those souls that deny Jesus’s deity or ignore Him entirely are in terrible peril. In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David teaches us that we are either for Jesus or against Him. We can either believe that Jesus is Who He said He is, or we can reject Him as a phony and a liar. There are only these two choices. There is zero room for middle ground.</description>

Even though Jesus was a man who felt fatigue and tiredness, He made time for others because His heart was filled with compassion for people. In today’s message from Luke, Pastor David reminds us that this same Jesus Who made time for people when He walked on earth has compassion towards us, His needy children, whenever we need Him.

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that while the Lord does have authority over all things including death and disease, He did not come into the world to simply fulfill every whim and desire. Instead, Christ came to seek and save the lost and to restore our broken relationship with God. The Lord wants us to love Him for Who He is and not simply for what He can do for us.

			<itunes:summary>In Luke chapter 8, Jesus raised a little girl from the dead. He then asked her parents to keep quiet about what had happened. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that while the Lord does have authority over all things including death and disease, He did not come into the world to simply fulfill every whim and desire. Instead, Christ came to seek and save the lost and to restore our broken relationship with God. The Lord wants us to love Him for Who He is and not simply for what He can do for us.

			<title>A Desperate Faith Pt 2 B</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Sometimes when our faith is at its highest, the enemy comes in to try and steal our hope. In today’s message from Luke chapter 8, Pastor David teaches us about a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, who begged Jesus to heal his sick daughter. Jairus had faith that Christ could heal. However, as Jairus and Jesus traveled to the home where the sick child lay, they received news that Jarius’s daughter had died. As it is so many times in our lives, it was in Jarius’s lowest moment that Jesus demonstrated his glory and power.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In Luke chapter 8, a woman with the issue of blood has the bold audacity to touch the hem of Rabbi Jesus’s garment. As she does, the woman is instantly made well. In today’s message, Pastor David points out that it was not Jesus’s clothing that caused the woman to receive her miracle. Instead, it was her faith. The woman believed that Jesus could help her. Therefore, the moment she touched Christ’s garment, her faith found an activation point, and she was healed. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Don’t fall into the trap of blaming your choices on how you were raised or on your heritage.  Yes, your parents may have had a great influence on your life, for better or worse, but it’s only an influence – you are the one who chooses the way you live.  As Pastor David will clearly illustrate through the genealogy of Jesus, all of us will mess up and make bad choices.  And all of us can find some fault with the people who raised us, but ultimately, you can be made a new creation when you choose to follow Christ.  </description>

                        <description>David had some serious issues.  He made some really horrible choices in his life, yet God had a great purpose for him.  Even if he had never been king, never led men into battle, never been called the “apple of God’s eye” he was a member of the lineage of Jesus.  As Pastor David leads us through an examination of this group of sinners, including prostitutes, adulterers, and murderers, he reminds us that God uses even the weakest and wickedest among us if we are repentant and submit ourselves to His will.

When you encounter a genealogy in Scripture, you may be tempted to quickly scan through until you find the next interesting verse.

As Pastor David continues to examine the prophecies concerning the Messiah in today’s message, you will be reminded that God can see the bigger picture, and the way He works is mysterious, but perfect.

			<title>Christ Before Bethlehem Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Christmas has been so greatly commercialized that Christ is the last person on most people’s minds during this time.  But the familiar saying is true: Christ is the reason for this season.  As Pastor David will remind us in today’s message, Jesus existed long before He came in the flesh.  He is one with God and He has always existed.  His appearance in the flesh is representative of His extreme love for humanity.

			<itunes:subtitle>Christmas has been so greatly commercialized that Christ is the last person on most people’s minds during this time.  But the familiar saying is true: Christ is the reason for this season.  As Pastor David will remind us in today’s message, Jesus existed long before He came in the flesh.

			<title>A Desperate Faith Part 2 A</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>What would you do if you only had one chance to get your life back after years of hardship, disease, and ostracism? Most of us would answer with just two words: “Almost anything!” In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that a desperate woman ignored cultural norms and disobeyed Rabbinical law in order to push through a crowd to reach out and touch the Lord’s garment. With that bold act of faith, Jesus’s power was unleashed, and she restored to full health. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Desperate times call for desperate measures. In the Gospel of Luke chapter 8, we meet a desperate woman who has been plagued by an issue of blood for many years. She has sought doctors and has spent all she has to find a cure to no avail. However, this woman had heard that Jesus could help her. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that the woman’s desperation propelled her through a raucous needy crowd. God saw and was moved by her fervor, for when she reached out and touched Jesus’s garment, she was healed.

                        <description>When Jesus frees a demoniac in Luke chapter 8, the people of the town were terrified. Their fear did not stem from the loss of livestock or the shock at seeing a once crazy man in his right mind. What terrified them was the power of God put on display. Pastor David teaches us in today’s message that Jesus has glory, honor, and power over all things. At just the word of Christ’s mouth, demons must flea, roaring waves are silenced, and people are saved and set free. </description>

                        <description>In Luke chapter 8, Jesus gets out of a boat in the region of Gerasenes and is met by a demon possessed man. The Bible tells us that this tortured soul had supernatural strength, had no home, wore no clothes, and had legions of demons controlling his wild behavior. In today’s message, Pastor David navigates through the strange world of demonology. Most importantly, Pastor David will also reinforce the fact that even a legion of demons is no match for King Jesus. Christ is able to set even the most enslaved and imprisoned free.</description>

As we take our eyes off of the storms and anxieties of this life and train them on our Savior Jesus, His power and glory will swallow up our troubles.

Christ was asleep in the stern while the waves raged. Pastor David teaches us in today’s message that the Lord God allows the tempest to roar sometimes. It is in these seasons of trail and testing that the Lord proves who He is. This is also when we become more like Jesus. It is only through the fire of pain and suffering that we are refined and made into something as precious as pure gold.</description>

                        <description>Many people have been deceived into thinking that they can say a prayer once and live then go on living as a heathen and still inherit eternal life. Nothing can be further from the truth. In today’s message from Luke chapter 8, Pastor David carefully examines the parable of the sower. From these Scriptures we know that it is only those that produce fruit who will inherit eternal life. Fruitless men and women who profess Jesus but live exactly how they want without conviction of sin will surely be thrown into the fire to be burned. </description>

			<title>The Scarlet Letter Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In chapter 7 of the Gospel of Luke, we meet a lady who was known throughout the city for her sin. However, in the Bible she is remembered for her extravagant worship of Jesus. Pastor David admonishes us to show mercy and grace to those around us. If we were all known and judged for our mistakes, we would not be welcomed at Jesus’s presence. Fortunately, because of the cleansing power of Jesus’s blood, we too can come and worship at Christ’s feet as grateful sons and daughters. </description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David asks this question: Do we as Christians live our day to day lives in the ever present reality that we will one day meet our Savior face to face? The Bible teaches us that the Lord Jesus is coming soon. As such, we must live to honor Christ each moment and make wise God-fearing choices. There are those that deny Jesus’s Second Coming. These lost people will not encounter a God of compassion and grace, but instead will face His well deserved wrath. </description>

                        <description>Preaching the truth can be very difficult because the Bible tells people that their deeds are evil and that they need to repent. However, we need to hear the truth even when it’s hard because our very eternal destiny is at stake. In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David points to John the Baptist as a shining example of someone who did not fail in preaching truth. Even though John’s message was difficult, he was faithful to continue with his difficult message repentance.  </description>

However, we must not grow weary in doing good in the face of trails.

                        <description>In Luke chapter 6, Jesus describes two different men, one wise and one foolish. The wise man builds a house upon a rock. This house can withstand the elements. The foolish man builds his house upon the sand. When hardship comes, the foolish man’s house falls. Pastor David teaches us that the wise follower of Jesus Christ is willing to pay the full price of following after the Lord. While it may take more time to build a firm foundation, the wise man can endure trial and testing because he has Jesus as his foundation.  </description>

			<title>Blind Leading the Blind Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Have you ever perused the self help section at your local library or book store? It’s enormous and getting longer every day. However, as this section grows, it seems that people are becoming more depressed, dissatisfied, and confused. In today’s message in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David teaches us that it is not man’s wisdom we need, but it is God’s. 1,000 human counselors, authors, and teachers cannot provide the help me need. However, the Lord and His Word can. </description>

			<title>Heart of Generosity Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that the earth and everything in it is the Lord’s. However, because the Lord is a kind and generous God, He allows us to look after and manage His stuff. In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David encourages us to be wise stewards of the things and talents the Lord has entrusted us with. We should waste little time investing in things that can only earn us temporary rewards in this life. Instead, we should give generously towards those things that will advance the Lord’s Kingdom.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Greedy people are not fun to be around. Selfish people are mean and usually full of anxiety. Generous people, on the other hand, are full of joy and a pleasure to be around. In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David encourages us to be generous. All that we have comes from the Lord. Our physical gifts, our talents and abilities, and even our very lives are gifts from above. As we are good stewards and generous with all we have been given, God’s joy is poured out in our lives.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When the woman who was caught in adultery was brought before Christ, Jesus did not condemn her. Instead, He said to the Pharisees, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” In today’s message, Pastor David warns us against being too judgmental. He also reminds us that only the Lord God is omniscient and omnipotent. Therefore, only Jesus is fully able to rightly judge an individual. Christians are instructed to show mercy to others because they have been shown much mercy by the Lord.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>None of us would know God or follow Him on our own. It is only because of the Lord’s great mercy and grace that we have become His children. In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David admonishes us to be merciful. Showing mercy to others is not an option. We cannot wait until we feel like being merciful, for if we wait until the emotions come, we will wait forever. Instead, Christ’s disciples are to put on mercy like a garment. We are to forgive others just as we have been forgiven.

                        <description>When Jesus taught, He said, “Love your enemies.” Jesus’s words do not make sense to the un-regenerated mind. How can we possibly love those who persecute us? In today’s message from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor David teaches us that the only way to obey the Lord’s commands is through the power of the Spirit working inside the Believer. When we remember all that God did to forgive us when we acted as His enemy, we can then demonstrate His love to those who hate us. </description>

                        <description>Many crowds followed Jesus because of the miracles and wonders He performed. However, only a few sought after the Lord enough to be called disciples. It was from this smaller group of disciples that Jesus chose the final twelve. Pastor David points out in today’s message that there are different levels of intimacy with the Spirit. Though there is such a thing as common grace that everyone, even the wicked, enjoys, there is special grace reserved for those that are called to follow the Lord Jesus.</description>

                        <description>Before Jesus’s influence in their lives, the disciples were a motley crew of undisciplined, mostly uneducated, and unremarkable men. However, it is these very men that God used to change the world through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us in a message from Luke that God’s ways of doing things are not our ways. God uses the weaker things of this world to accomplish great works so that we might see His glory and give Him praise.

                        <description>When the Lord God gave Moses the Law, He meant the Sabbath to be a day of rest and a blessing for Israel. However, the Pharisees had turned the Law into a heavy burden on the people by creating a crazy list of rules that people had to follow. In today’s message from Luke, Pastor David teaches us how Jesus answered the teachers of the law when they challenged the behavior of His disciples.

			<title>When the Call Comes Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus is the only Person to have ever lived a perfect and sinless life. However, the Lord is a friend to sinners. He dined with them when He walked the earth and sought them out to rescue them from the prison of sin. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that if our Lord reached out to save that which was lost, we too should be doing the same. It is a dangerous thing to insulate ourselves entirely from the world in a holy bubble, for if we do, we cannot carry out the Great Commission to “go and make disciples of all.”</description>

                        <description>In Luke Chapter 5, Jesus visits the lucrative city of Capernaum. Upon entering the city, the Lord seeks out a tax collector named Levi and calls to the man to follow Him. Levi responded by leaving his post with no hesitation. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us how Levi the tax collector became Matthew, the writer of one of the four Gospels. Pastor David also admonishes us to be inspired by Matthew’s unabashed and unreserved commitment to Jesus. Matthew was willing to leave his former life behind in service to the King of Kings. </description>

                        <description>Hell is a real place. It’s a real place that people that we know will go to forever, if they don’t accept Christ. Today, Pastor David will remind us that just like the men who loved their friend so much that they took Him to Jesus, we need to do the same thing. There is nothing in the entire world that we should be more passionate about than taking people to Him. Jesus saved their friend, He can save our friends too. Today, you still have time. One day, you won’t. What are you waiting for?    </description>

                        <description>Choosing fruit can be quite the trick. Often an apple might look really red and juicy on the inside, but you open it up to a rotten core, or a banana looks ok at the store, but once home, it’s squishy and brown on the inside. Today, Pastor David will teach that it’s often the same with us. We might play the part really well. We go to church, go to bible study, and we might even host a small group. When on the inside, we are a mess, full of things that keep us from the relationship that Christ really desires. </description>

                        <description>Often we notice when something is different about someone. Maybe it’s a haircut, maybe new glasses. Maybe, they have been sick and now they are better. Whatever it is, we can usually tell when something has changed. Today, Pastor David will challenge us to look at ourselves and wonder if we are different. Not because of outwards changes, but because of a new spirit living in us. Are we different and changed because of Jesus? How many people can see Jesus in us? Is it obvious that we have been touched by the savior of the world? </description>

                        <description>Let’s think about a sports team for a minute. They all have many positions that make up the team.  Imagine, if the players decided they wanted to be on the team, but they just wanted to sit on the bench and never play. It would make it very difficult for the team to have success, or accomplish what needs to be done. Today, we hear from Pastor David that the same is true for us as Christians. We need to be active participants. It’s not just about the “jersey” or being on the “roster”. We need to be an active part of helping the team accomplish the task at hand. </description>

Maybe it’s going really well, you have tons of fun together, and you enjoy each other’s company. All of sudden, something changes and they run the other direction.   Today, Pastor David will teach that this is true in our relationship with Christ as well. Probably, because it’s hard and it takes work. However, if you are willing, the results are worth it and the relationship will be the best you’ve ever had.

                        <description>Lots of people love eating junk food, some even look forward to eating it, especially when they have something to celebrate. It might be a birthday, or a holiday, maybe a big accomplishment. Whatever the case, at first it’s really good, but then, you feel really sick and yucky inside. Today, Pastor David will teach that Jesus did not come for an emotional high. He did not want to give us only desert, and leave us feeling yucky. Jesus came to fill us up with rich, satisfying food full of everything we need.

                        <description>Have you been driving down the road and you come to a dead end? All of sudden, we have to make a decision. We have no choice, we must go one way or the other. Today with Pastor David we will learn the same is true when Jesus is in the house. He will demand all of us to decide which way we will “turn”, which “road” will we take? Will we be swayed by the ways of the world or will we trust Him to lead us down the right path? He would say: look for the light, and go toward it. </description>

You should copycat him. You should study Him, learn all you can about Him, and be like Him. In fact, the bible says He is our example. So, let me ask? Are you doing what Jesus did? </description>

Most cities have dedicated heart hospitals with trained heart specialists to diagnose our heart issues. Today, Pastor David will teach that we might have this problem. Not necessarily a medical heart issue, but a spiritual one. As he teaches about why we go to church, he will challenge us to really check our heart and search for our motivation. Is it in the right place? Is our heart healthy in regards to this issue or do we need to check into the spiritual health doctor for a check-up and rehabilitation? </description>

                        <description>Have you ever played the game two truths and one lie? Often, people get really good at it and it’s hard to figure it out. They might say something that’s mostly true but not completely. For example, instead of having one animal, they have two. Today, from Pastor David we hear the same is true of many teachers today. Just like the enemy, they tell many things that sound good, they might even have a hint of truth. However, it’s the entire truth that sets us free, not just bite size pieces. </description>

You wanted to lose a certain amount of weight or get a certain result at the doctor. But, then, unfortunately, someone brings your favorite snack to work or gives you a gift card to your favorite restaurant. Today, we will hear from Pastor David regarding self-sacrifice and surrender. Just like with our diets, our Christian life needs to reflect these habits. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary and so worth the struggle. </description>

Maybe it’s the person who mows the grass to make the park beautiful or what about a secretary who is the face of an organization? Without them, many things would not happen. Yet, often they get no recognition. Usually, they come to work, do their job and move on. Today, Pastor David will teach us that this is what the Lord wants. He is looking for people who are faithful! Not for rewards, or to be noticed, but for the simple pleasure of doing what they have been called to do. </description>

			<title>A Passion And A Message, Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today, Pastor David will remind us that many people are lost and dying. The latest “hot trend” in the mega churches will not set them free and either will the latest bestselling book from their favorite Christian author. According to John 8:32, the word of God will set them free! Therefore, don’t give in to temptations that they need something else, or that the time is not right. Be bold, speak the word of God, and allow God to use you as an instrument in His hands. Someone’s eternity depends on it.  </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Pastor David continues his teaching series through the Gospel of Luke, he'll be explaining what genuine repentance looks like.  John the Baptist rebukes the pharisees and tax collectors because they chose to live for themselves, rather than  thinking of others.  Jesus Himself, demonstrated for us what it looks like to be selfless.  He died on the cross for us in order to give us salvation even though we didn't deserve it.  God calls us to be selfless and others centered just like our Lord.   </description>

They are watching the way you live, they are watching how you act under pressure, and they want to see if what you say is genuine in your own life.  Today, Pastor David will be encouraging us to abide in Jesus the Vine, so we can produce the fruit of the Spirit.  Calling yourself a Christian isn't enough, you need to bear fruits of repentance.  </description>

                        <description>John the Baptist was not seeker sensitive when he ministered to the multitudes.  He wasn't afraid to call sin, sin, and he wasn't afraid to use the words hell and repentance.  Today, Pastor David will be explaining that it's vitally important for us to love unbelievers to the point of telling them the truth of the gospel.  We aren't doing anybody any favors by preaching a watered down gospel and sugar coating the destructive nature of sin.  A transformed life is the only proof of salvation.   </description>

                        <description>There was a process that even Jesus went through before His ministry started. Today Pastor David, will remind us that in every process we must remember the timing is not in our hands but in the Lord’s hands. He also will teach us not to despise the process. We as Christians will be pulled from our comfort zone if we are living fully in surrender to the Lord. God desires for us to grow in our walk with Him. Therefore, we should ask ourselves regularly if we are growing in the Lord or if we are at a stand still.

                        <description>Simeon wasn’t alone.  We know there were more who lived with great anticipation for their coming Messiah.  While the details remain largely unknown, we see the presence of a prophetess named Anna who lived with the same kind of anticipation.  As Pastor David shares her blessed legacy, we see the way God uses the latter years of her life to proclaim the birth of JESUS, our Messiah.  In the same way, we should look with great anticipation for the coming of the Lord for us in our generation.

			<title>Anticipation Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Simeon was a devout man of God.  And while little is revealed about who he actually was, we know that he was someone who lived with great anticipation.  Simeon never lost sight of God’s promise and never stopped believing, even in the midst of a corrupt religious system.  As Pastor David explains, we can learn much from this holy man of God named Simeon.  While our religious system may miss the arrival of Messiah, we don’t have to.  God’s promises are as sure to us as they were to Simeon.

Simeon never lost sight of God’s promise and never stopped believing, even in the midst of a corrupt religious system.  As Pastor David explains, we can learn much from this holy man of God named Simeon.  While our religious system may miss the arrival of Messiah, we don’t have to.  God’s promises are as sure to us as they were to Simeon.

			<title>Undeserved Peace Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Peace in only possible if it is received through the undeserved favor of God.  According to the Scriptures, no man or woman who has ever experienced peace has ever done anything to deserve it.  As Pastor David makes clear, the only way to receive the gift of peace that God offers to undeserving and sinful people is by accepting it as a gift of grace through faith in JESUS Christ.  Any man or woman who believes in JESUS WILL receive the gift of peace made available to the heart of every fallen man.

                        <description>Does God’s favor and peace only land in the lap of good people?  Or does God’s peace rest on those who are the undeserved recipients of His good will?  Because peace only comes to those whose God’s restorative work has taken place between Himself and sinful man, we must understand our part in this relationship!  As Pastor David explains, we can know with absolute certainty that the peace He offered long ago in the form of a baby is for EVERYONE who would receive His Son, the Lord JESUS Christ.

                        <description>Paul's letter to the Romans tells us that there's no longer any condemnation to those who are in Christ. As great as this news is, we as Christians can still struggle with condemnation from time to time. In today's edition of The Open Word, Pastor David reminds us of the amazing love and faithfulness of our all mighty God. Reflecting on the sacrifice of Christ, we're reminded of the unshakeable love that God has for each and every one of us. No matter your past, present, or future, you can take heart in knowing that God preserves His own.

The number of stars alone come to a staggering count that surpasses human comprehension by far. Even if we we're able to comprehend these figures, there's one element that trumps them all.

We can either look at life as a series of bad events, or we can expect life's challenges and take them on one at a time. This of course still leaves us with the “why and how” of life's tough times.

Although Mary is truly blessed to birth the Messiah, we're reminded of her need for salvation, just as much as the rest of us.

			<title>Faithfulness of God  Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Many of us have thought at some point that if we were God we would probably do things a little bit different. After things turn out for the greater good, we often give God thanks that He is God, and we are not. In today's edition of The Open Word, Pastor David reflects on the omniscience of God. In our study, we learn how the all knowing and all powerful God operates in a manner that's far beyond our comprehension. With this in mind, we can take heart in knowing that God's never surprised, and handles each situation perfectly.           </description>

Once we're in this mindset, we can often impose this monotonous reality into our perception of other people, places, or things. Throw this perception of God into the picture and we're quick to find ourselves surprised by His next move.

                        <description>One of the most difficult ideas for the nation of Israel to grasp during the time of Christ, was the fact that He had come to include everyone...Jews AND Gentiles. Jewish people could hardly fathom this. As Pastor David begins this study through the book of Luke, we'll learn that this Gospel, above the rest, seems to focus on that fact. As we just heard from Pastor David, Luke mentions the world outside of the nation of Israel more than any of the other writers.

I see this every day in my children, one child pinching another because the first took their toy. In Pastor Davids message today, we are encouraged not to repay evil with evil. In 3 John we read 'he who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God'. If you are not walking in the truth, can you say you are of God? No, a life that is truly changed by God lives a life of glory for God, not evil.</description>

Pastor David wants to encourage you to try showing love to everyone you meet, whether or not you think they “deserve” it. Because, you didn’t deserve God’s love, and yet, He loved you from the start, and He loves you still, no matter your faults.

His word has the power to set people free from their own selfish desires, and to transform their lives into something wonderful…. But sometimes that means we have to get out of our comfort zones in order to share that news. Pastor David reminds you that just because someone hasn’t been receptive to the Truth of God’s word yet, doesn’t mean you ought to give up. Maybe this time, they’ll be ready to hear it. </description>

			<title>The Greatness of His Love Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>
When you consider the wretchedness of humanity, it is clear that no one deserves mercy from a Holy God.  So, when you also think about the fact Jesus took the punishment of each sinner, it can stop you in your tracks.  What kind of love is it that He calls each of us His children?  That reality, Pastor David teaches today, should motivate you deep in your soul to seek to live a life worthy of this great love.  To stay away from the sin that once held you captive and instead walk in the freedom and grace of God who lavishes you with love.

                        <description>Who do you say Jesus is?  You can’t say you love God while denying the son, Jesus. If you deny Jesus, you deny God and the truth isn’t in you.   John warns of liars among the church trying to thwart the truth that Jesus is the son of God, the Messiah.  Today Pastor David will encourage you to examine how you view Jesus.  Is He your savior?  Let the truth of God’s word abide in you – Eternal Life is only possible through God’s son, Jesus.  He is entirely faithful even when you are not.  </description>

                        <description>John says the world and all that’s in it is passing away.  But if you do the will of God, John declares, you will abide forever with Him.  Today, Pastor David offers practical advice about how to combat the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life that can destroy your faith if you’re not careful.  He encourages you to curb your appetite for the things of the world – choose to walk away from anything that’s contrary to the will of God in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Don’t allow temptations to linger.

                        <description>In these last days, John warns, those against Christ will be among the church attempting to lead believers astray.  These anti-christs will twist gospel truth, confuse believers and proclaim lies in the place of truth.  They will often come with religious wrapping – further deceiving men who will be confused and tempted to believe anything.  Today, Pastor David will challenge you to be a student of the Word of God, so you will not be led astray.  There is no new truth – if what you hear doesn’t line up with God’s word, it’s a lie.  </description>

                        <description>In his letter, John warns the believers against pride – the continual inner focus and reliance on self.  Mentally placing yourself in a position of superiority or boasting about your giftedness has no place in the life of a believer.  Pastor David teaches that pride is arrogance and vanity.  It presumes you can direct your life independently and you don’t need God.  God grieves your foolishness and you miss out on a relationship with him.  Instead you are called to humility, submission to God and service in the Body.  </description>

When you honestly examine yourself, you may be surprised by the hold the world has on you.  John issued a clear warning to his readers that they should not love the things of this fallen world.  If they did, it was an indicator that the love of God was not in them.  Today, Pastor David will challenge you to think about what fills up your life and whether these things push out the love, purposes and plans God has for your life.

Pastor David teaches that each of these life stages is simultaneously pictured in the soul of every believer. You should come to God as a fearless child, knowing your father as a powerful provider.  Like a young man, you should realize the strength you have comes from the Holy Spirit in you.   And similar to a father, you should never grow complacent or forget the wonder of your relationship with God.  </description>

                        <description>It’s clear that, in this life, a walk of total obedience to God is difficult.   The enemy wants nothing more than for you to give up because it’s too hard, or stop trying because you think you don’t need to.  But, as Pastor David reminds you today, God, who is in you, is far greater than anything that causes you to stumble. The Apostle John writes to encourage you to use the power of the Spirit inside you to strengthen your walk with God, so that you come closer to complete obedience and great fellowship with the Lord.  </description>

                        <description>As a believer you will face a battle with sin until this life is over.    You will begin to sin less as you grow in your faith because God is sanctifying you, but you’ll never be sinless.  John challenged his readers not to sin, but knowing everyone would sin, he reminded them of the hope of the perfect advocate – Jesus.  Jesus knows you’ll sin, but offered himself in your place, taking the judgement you deserved.  Pastor David encourages you to recognize your own sin, confess it, but not to feel condemned by it.  Press into Jesus and His forgiveness.

If you say you don’t sin now, you’re a liar and the truth isn’t in you.  Pastor David challenges you today to be honest, with yourself and God, about your sin and need for a savior.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Our relationships to each other are important to God because people will know you’re a believer by your agape love for one another.   John calls his readers to engage in true, deep fellowship with other believers.  And Pastor David will explain how this supreme expression of friendship will grow you as a believer and strengthen not only those friends, but also demonstrate to non-believers a godly, sacrificial love. Fellowship takes vulnerability and sacrifice, but you’ll find the joy of acceptance and help for hard times.  </description>

                        <description>In a dark and sinful world, you are called to reflect the light of Jesus.  But if your life is filled with sin, John says, you walk in darkness and the light of Jesus isn’t in you.  Pastor David will challenge you today to think about if you are choosing the pleasures of sin over obedience to God.  Because by doing that, you’re shutting out the light of the Holy Spirit. You cannot lose your salvation but you can walk around as though you’re dead.  You’ll miss out on the guidance, strength, joy and power of the Holy Spirit.  </description>

                        <description>There is much darkness in our world.  This is nothing new – evil has existed since time began in the garden.  Darkness exists when there is no light.   And today, Pastor David reminds you how light drives away darkness.  In fact, there is no darkness so great that even the smallest light cannot dispel it.  John wrote to the believers that God is light, in Him there is no darkness.  He is holy and evil cannot remain near Him.  So, because of this fact, pastor David issues a challenge that you, as a child of God, can’t walk in darkness either.   </description>

                        <description>It’s hard to completely trust second or third hand information.  As the information is passed around, it can be misinterpreted, twisted by emotion or details can be forgotten altogether.  Today Pastor David teaches you that the apostle John wrote as a first-hand witness, which gives validity to his writings. John’s writing carries the authority and truth to combat the false teaching coming in to the church.  John discourages blind, unsupported faith.  Instead, he encourages our trust in an accurate, thorough description of who Jesus was.  </description>

Otherwise, he said, people will try to deceive you.   And, as Pastor David adds, it’s critical to know, trust and obey all of God’s word so that you can grow in knowledge of God and be strengthened against the attacks of the enemy.

			<title>Intro John 1 2 3 Part 1A</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The early church faced quite a bit of heresy coming in to the church that began to muddle beliefs and contradict the truth of the gospel.  The apostle John wrote 3 letters to respond to the growing influx of false doctrines.  Today, Pastor David explains some of the various heresies the early church was beginning to believe and how, even today, they threaten to weaken the church.  For example, the Gnostics taught believers that salvation came through knowledge which contradicted the truth of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith.  </description>

			<title>Revelation Part 2C</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David has been walking us through the Bible in a year. Although he did not make his goal of 12 months, he finishes up his teaching today after 18 months. The book of Revelation is full of mystery, allegory, and future events yet to come. Although we cannot currently interpret it all, it will someday become our history. Every book of the Bible is important, but you do not need to understand all of Revelation to be saved. Jesus is the one way to salvation. Have you chosen to follow Him?</description>

			<title>Revelation Part 2B</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>
Today, Pastor David lays out an overview of the entire book of Revelation. Verses 11 to the end of the book discuss the Great Tribulation. There will be a time when extraordinary and supernatural things happen on the earth. It will be a time of great destruction when it seems that the only sensible thing to do is to turn to the Lord. But men’s hearts will be hardened, and they will not surrender. Have you chosen Christ? Now is the time to repent and be saved. There will be a time when it’s too late.

You cannot prepare in the instant, but must be prepared ahead of time. Do you know Jesus, and have you accepted Him as your resurrected Savior? Do you strive to live a life worthy?

                        <description>Today, Pastor David reminds you that what you believe about Jesus Christ matters. You cannot just broadly say you believe in God and then assume you are heaven-bound. Jesus is the answer. If you believe He came from heaven, died on the cross for your sins, and was resurrected again, you will be saved. There is no other way. Even the Devil and his demons believe in God, but they are destined for Hell. Choose Jesus and you can know with certainty that you are saved, and the kingdom of heaven awaits.  </description>

                        <description>God loves the whole world. Jesus died for the sin of all mankind. Pastor David reminds us today, however, that Jesus’ sacrifice is only effective for those who accept it. Jesus is waiting with outstretched arms for all to receive Him. But it is up to each individual to walk into His embrace. Some choose to turn away and others walk right past Him. We need to continue to love those people because God loves them. He desires that all would accept Jesus’ gift, but sadly this will never be the case. Love them still.   </description>

			<itunes:summary>In order to mature as a Christian you must grow in your faith and in your knowledge of God.  The world offers many things that will draw you away from your devotion to God.  Today, Pastor David will encourage you to be a student of God’s Word.  As you draw closer to Christ and grow in godliness you will conform to His Image and the things of this world will not be as important as they once were.

                        <description>As a Christian you are called to be as much like Jesus as you can.  To do this means that you must know His character and try to replicate it.  Pastor David teaches you today that even the very first Christians struggled to accomplish this.  The struggle against our own humanity has always and will continue to be difficult.  Nonetheless through loving Jesus and letting that love influence you you can become a light to the world. Keep pushing forward to be more like Him. Show His love through kindness and service.</description>

                        <description>
It's important to consistently make choices that abide to God's Will for your life.  The temptation to go against Him will always be there, but realize that every time you don't choose Him you take a step away from Him.  Pastor David challenges you to know God's Will for your life and more importantly to consistently abide to it.  This means choosing to be holy even when it's not fun. It means going against the grain and standing up for what's right.  Though it'll be difficult it'll allow you to be the best version of yourself.

Pastor David teaches you that even some the greatest figures in the Bible came to points where their faith was lacking.

To prepare for the struggles that lie ahead of you, be in God's Word now.  Use the easier times of your life to build a foundation that will survive through the hard times.</description>

                        <description>You no longer need to live under the guilty conscious of law. Instead you can live for Christ and allow His love for you to be an inspiration to show love to others.  Pastor David teaches you today to walk by the spirit.  To do this you must place Jesus and a relationship with Him at the core of your being.  Once you have Him there you'll understand the need to share Him and His grace with others.  It's then that you'll become a blessing to Him, His Kingdom, and all who come to know Him through you.

Pastor David teaches you today that you cannot live up to the law on your own.  You must have a savior who can help you and ultimately take the blame when you fall short.  Jesus is that savior and He's available to you.  Acknowledge Him and accept Him into your heart and you'll no longer be under the burden of the law.

Today in the book of Galatians Pastor David teaches you that you mustn't allow law and religion to become the center of your life. Instead of those things you are called to know Jesus as your savior and to allow His love to radiate through you.

Pastor David reminds you today that it's Jesus who you should pull your strength from.  Don't be naive enough to think that you need to take the world on on your own.  Instead acknowledge the innate helplessness in you and ask Jesus to become your compass.  Accept Him as your strength by acknowledging you have no relevant strength of your own.</description>

                        <description>The Saducees began to realize that Jesus had had a phenomenal impact on Peter and John. They knew that the two men were simple fishermen and as such they where marveled by the wisdom that they found in them. Pastor David asks today whether others are marveled by the Jesus they see in you.  Have you allowed Him to influence your life so much that others will see in you His goodness?  If not now is the time to begin seeking that level. Commit to Him and His Word so that one day others will see Him in you. </description>

                        <description>In today's message, Pastor David will share with you the story of Jesus serving His disciples. This story reveals that even those high in authority should be serving those below them. There should be no hierarchy in serving in a church. In a church, it shouldn't be that the congregation only serves their Pastor and church staff, but that their Pastor and church staff should serve them also. Then from there, all can work together for the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Pastor David will also remind you that serving as a church community is the responsibility of the church.</description>

                        <description>Today, Pastor David provides the example of the Israelites walking through the desert. The Bible says their clothes and shoes never wore out for 40 years! Maybe your dishwasher broke this morning, or maybe your car wouldn't start on your way to work. Whatever happens in your life, Pastor David will remind you that when you're faithful to the Lord, God will provide. Things last longer, money stretches farther, and you won't be able to explain it – it's all thanks to the Lord's provision!</description>

As a matter of fact, many would go so far as to sacrifice themselves for the well being of their children. But what about when it comes to salvation? In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the heart of Paul, who stated he would forsake his own salvation for others.

			<itunes:summary> Whether we have children of our own or simply know others who do, we'd probably all agree that the love of a parent is a force to be reckoned with. As a matter of fact, many would go so far as to sacrifice themselves for the well being of their children. But what about when it comes to salvation? In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the heart of Paul, who stated he would forsake his own salvation for others. In today's message, you'll gain a better understanding of the sacrificial love that God has for humanity.   </itunes:summary>

			<title>Hosea and Micah Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>If we were to go around asking non believers how they would execute justice and mercy at the same time, many of them would probably be pretty stumped. However, we as believers know that this is possible by none other than The Cross of Calvary. In today's message, Pastor David will teach you the importance of living out a just life, yet extending mercy to those who falter. In his study, you'll learn that while it might be tempting to cry for justice over the wrongs of the world, we would do well to remember the mercy we've received.  </description>

However, as we look back with hindsight, we're often quick to recognize that it was because they love us that they did so in the first place. In today's message, Pastor David will remind you that God's desire for us is to grow in love and relationship.

If you imagine the most magnificent thing you’ve seen and try to put it into words, you might get a sense of the challenge Ezekiel faced.  Even with divine guidance, it’s clear that the words he wrote can’t come close to capturing the scope of glory and wonder he encountered in the vision God gave him.  </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>To be a true child of God requires more than just uttering a salvation prayer in an emotional moment, driven by fear of hell.  It requires repentance.  Repentance is a change of heart; turning yourself over to Christ – dying to your own desires and committing to follow Him.  As Pastor David explains in today’s message, there are many who believe they have secured their ticket into Heaven, all the while living a life that is devoid of God.  If you have truly been redeemed, your life cannot stay the same.         </description>

                        <description>The words of warning that Zephaniah hit pretty close to home for us today.  Our nation has rejected God and chosen wickedness over righteousness.  This grieves God’s heart.  He doesn’t look forward to bringing destruction, but because men harbor evil in their hearts and reject Him outright, they ultimately will face the consequences.  As Pastor David warns in today’s message, those consequences will be dire, but until the gates of hell are sealed, God will welcome anyone that repents and turns to Him.       </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God doesn’t desire worship that is only halfhearted.  When you come to Him on Sunday with songs of praise, just to go back out into the world and serve your sinful desires and dishonor God, your worship is empty.  As Pastor David points out in today’s message, this is what was happening with God’s people in the book of Zephaniah.  God doesn’t expect perfection – He knows it’s impossible for you – but He desires honest worship, not only in the temple, but in your everyday life.     </description>

			<title>Isaiah Part 3A</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The book of Isaiah covers the full spectrum of God's plan for His people. He established them in grace. They turned away from Him and went after their sin. Their sins will result in judgment. But God is still willing and longing to receive them back again to Himself, if they repent of their sins. We see the grace and love of God leaving their unmistakable marks in all of His works. In today's message, Pastor David will show us how Isaiah reminds us that God's love is ever present, even in His judgment. Return to God today. </description>

			<title>Isaiah Part 2B</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Israel, in Isaiah's time, was brazen, deliberate and bold in its rebellion against God. They were proud of their sin. God, through Isaiah, begged them to repent, reminding them that sin always leads to judgment and death. If we turn to God - and away from our compromise and corruption - God assures us that He will forgive us. There is still hope for you in God. In today's message, Pastor David will remind you that the discipline and judgment of God is still an expression His mercy and love for you.

			<title>Isaiah Part 2A</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The nation of Israel was birthed into existence because of the mercy and grace of God. Its foundations were securely anchored in God's revealed word and its purpose was to bring God glory. But, God's revelation to Isaiah exposed a prosperous nation that had drifted away from the devotion that characterized its beginnings. It was compromised and corrupt. Sin led the nation down a path that could only end in judgment. In today's message, Pastor David will plead with us to humbly return to God.</description>

                        <description>Have you ever had a little buzz of warning in your head? Something that maybe says slow down, don’t go there, or pay attention to this? Did you ignore it or did you pay attention and listen to the warning?  God, in his faithfulness, has given us warnings of the things we should turn away from. He explains what will happen if we do these things; judgements or sorrow that will come our way. He calls us to Himself. To be reconciled and walk in His ways. Pay attention to what God is saying and open yourself to His calling. </description>

			<title>Isaiah Part 1B</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David shows us that there should be more to our messages than the fear of the wrath of God. We need to spread the word of God’s mercy and grace. Because, if you think about it, a relationship that is based solely on fear… isn’t much of a relationship at all. We must remember that God’s mercy for us is so overwhelmingly large, and in His mercy, there is His love for each and every one of us sinners. In fact, God’s promise comes to us even in the midst of our rebelliousness. For while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today, Pastor David talks about the struggle between our fleshly desires, and choosing to honor God. Our generation tends to get caught up in media and our own vices… with all of this, it’s easy to get distracted and forget to make time for the Lord. What we don’t often realize, is that our vice can become an idol, which we give priority to, over honoring Him. Time spent on unnecessary distractions, is time spent away from growing in God’s faithfulness. How much time are you spending on distractions as opposed to time with God?</description>

			<title>Amos - Jonah Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David discusses what God wants from our lives. We can easily go through the outward appearance and motions of being a follower of Christ, but what God really wants from us… is a life that is lived for Him, both inside and out. He wants your heart and your trust. It’s not just about going to church or reading the bible, it’s more than that. He wants a relationship with you. One that goes deeper than simply going through the motions. Give your heart to Him, the God that sustains, keeps, and saves you.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today, Pastor David tells us about Jonah’s anger at God’s choice to forgive the people of Nineveh. He shows us how easy it is to get into the mindset that other people don’t matter, or that we don’t need to care about them. This is not how God calls us to act towards others, no matter how similar or different they are to us. You’re called to show love and forgiveness to all the sinners in the world, because you, too, are a sinner, and yet, God shows you His unyielding love and forgiveness every day. </description>

                        <description>Today Pastor David is going to talk about Jonah, and his attempt to flee from God’s plan for his life. Just like Jonah, everyone goes through tough moments in their lives. Remember that you can always turn back to Him and trust in His help in these difficult moments of faith. Perhaps this hardship in life will draw you nearer to God and strengthen your relationship with Him. It’s easy to lose focus on what truly matters, but remember that, like Jonah, you also have a calling in life, and you must not run from what God has called you to do.  </description>

It’s rather easy to confess our sins and say we are sorry for them, but the hard part comes with true repentance. God calls us not only to confess our sins, but to repent from them as well. For confession without repentance, changes nothing. God gives you many chances to repent from your sin - listen and obey Him, so that you might follow Him into eternity.</description>

                        <description>I’m sure we’ve all felt it at some point in our lives – that little nudge that tells us what we are doing is not pleasing to the Lord. Maybe you are in a moment of your life where it’s easy to ignore that nudge, but remember, that nudge is a hint from God, a hint that you need to make a change. Don’t ignore it. He’s trying to help you get back on track with your faith and your relationship with Him. It’s important that you listen to these nudges and make an effort to obey His word, while there’s still time to do so. Pastor David shows us why, today.</description>

It’s important that you listen to these nudges and make an effort to obey His word, while there’s still time to do so. Pastor David shows us why, today.</itunes:subtitle>

			<title>Obadiah - Joel Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The day of the Lord is coming ever near. Throughout our lifetime, we must remember to live a life that honors His name. It’s easy to forget that our life on earth will pass by in mere seconds compared to our eternity with Him in Heaven… and judgement comes for all of us in the end. So remember to live your life in such a way that glorifies His name, for He will judge you as you have judged others. Pastor David takes a look at a similar scenario that takes place in Obadiah. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>There are many things in life that we derive pleasure from. Maybe it’s a car, a house, or a new phone. Maybe it’s a new relationship, a job, or your status. Whatever it may be, it will not give you complete and lasting satisfaction in life. On your deathbed, your possessions and your status will no longer matter. What will matter, is your relationship with God. If you have spent a lot of time searching for some sort of possession to fill your emptiness, and keep coming up short, maybe it’s time to give God a chance.</description>

                        <description>It can be difficult to stay focused on our relationship with God sometimes. There are so many sinful and worldly pleasures around us. They may seem appealing and innocent, but if they take us further away from our walk with God, then indeed, they are empty pleasures. Are you in the midst of chasing an empty pleasure? Has life begun to feel hollow? These temporary pleasures cannot fill you up. But God can. Today, Pastor David shows us what life might look like if we choose worldly pleasures over the truth of God.</description>

Work can be demanding, money might be tight, or maybe you’re having trouble within your family. Whatever struggles are causing you to feel this way, remember that God’s there for you. He hasn’t left you to struggle on your own. Turn back to Him… reach out for His love – so that you may feel peace once again. Listen today as Solomon faces these same feelings. </description>

As Pastor David begins his teaching through the Song of Solomon, he'll be explaining how the love between this man and the Shulamite woman is allegorical to the relationship between Jesus and the Church.  The woman in this Book is explaining how she doesn't feel worthy to be married to this man, yet he explains to her how deep his love truly is for her.  You as a Christian though you are a sinner, you've been forgiven and Jesus considers you His bride.  You have great worth in His eyes!

                        <description>As Pastor David continues his teaching through the Book of Psalms, he'll be exhorting you to keep an eternal perspective rather than always focusing on the temporal.  When you abide in Jesus, and you wash yourself with the Word of God and renew your mind, it's much easier to focus on Heaven and eternal matters.  When you live in sin, and neglect the fundamental pillars of your walk such as prayer, reading the Word, and going to Church, that's when your mind gets stuck on worldly matters.

			<title>Job Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Suffering doesn’t generally occur in a vacuum.  You may feel like you’re alone, but it’s not usually for a lack of company.  As we see in Job’s story, his friends were there, but they failed to offer him the support he needed.  Instead of pushing him closer to God and offering encouragement, they focused on criticism.  As Pastor David explains in today’s message, Job’s response was one of justified frustration, because he knew that they were misrepresenting God in their poor counsel. </description>

			<title>Job Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>How do you react when you face hardship?  Is your first response to blame God and grow bitter, or is it to worship?  Worship will not come naturally, but as Pastor David points out in the example of Job, it’s your holy calling as a faithful child of God.  To be His child is to acknowledge that He is wise and powerful; to surrender yourself to His will, knowing that it may not always be easy, but He will work good out of it.  You may not even see that good in your lifetime, but the eternal rewards will be worth it. </description>

                        <description>We should all aspire to be like Job.  He was a great man.  Scripture tells us he was the greatest in all the East in his time.  His faith was strong.  He was devoted to God and God blessed him greatly.  Yet, as Pastor David reminds us in today’s message, despite all of this, his road would not remain so smooth and pleasant.  We know that God allowed incredible calamity at the hand of Satan in order to demonstrate Job’s faithfulness in the face of even the harshest circumstances. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As we work our way through Zechariah with Pastor David, you will be reminded of your true purpose in this life.  Your life is meant to be lived for God’s glory.  So often, you only give God a small portion of your life.  Sunday mornings, maybe Wednesday nights, and of course a few seconds of prayer before a meal.  And even those things are often more focused on fulfilling your needs.  As you will be challenged in today’s message, everything you do, big or small, should be done for God’s glory. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God honors leaders who honor Him, and in turn, the people they lead will experience the blessing of God’s presence and guidance.  In the same way, when the leaders of a nation reject God, the nation generally follows suit.  While faith can’t be forced on people, when it’s demonstrated in leadership, the people are much more likely to choose it.  As Pastor David continues to study the books of Haggai and Zechariah in today’s message, you will encounter a real world example of this truth.     </description>

                        <description>
Discouragement never comes from God.  He loves you dearly, and He only allows struggles and hardship as an opportunity for you to grow closer to Him.  As you stumble and fall in your effort to follow Christ through a dark, broken world, know that God is cheering you on and always ready for you to lean in and trust Him for provision and strength.  As Pastor David expresses in today’s message, our temptations and trials are common, and they are no match for a heart that is fully trusting in God.

The task may be more than you are mentally, physically or spiritually anticipating. In Pastor David's message today, he will encourage you that 'with God all things are possible'. Even if you think you don't have anything to offer, if you humble yourself before the Lord He can use you. Perhaps even today you find yourself worn out from ministry. Come to the creator of love and ask that He fill you with His perfect love.</description>

                        <description>Pastor David continues his overview of the Bible in one year with today's message in the book of Esther. It's interesting to point out that God's name is never mentioned once in the book of Esther. Even through the Lord's name is never mentioned, you can see His providence though the story. This is a story that has been retold over and over in film and book. So if you've never read the book of Esther, listen in as Pastor David gives an overview of an important story in the lives of the Jews.</description>

The last thing the enemy of your soul wants is for you to trust in the Lord completely. He wants your attention and will go to great lengths to try and deceive you.

                        <description>You can know for sure that God will complete a good work in you because Jesus has already made a down payment on your life. There is nothing that you can do to redeem yourself. Let pastor David's message be an encouragement for when you stumble or fail. You don't have to do it all on your own because Jesus has already paid the penalty for your sin. You only need to come to him asking for forgiveness. Your salvation lies in what Jesus did on the cross and not on your actions.</description>

In his message today, Pastor David will reassure you that most people will ask God this question. It's easy to doubt God when things don't go according to your plan. The truth is, you are not in control, He is. Instead of questioning the Lord, try thanking Him that He has your life in His hands. There are usually circumstances you are not aware of. Lean not on your own understanding but on the sovereign Lord of all creation. </description>

When you look at our current culture, this is no doubt true. We might verbally proclaim 'one nation under God', but in reality we serve our flesh. Don't let this be true in your life. Don't say with your mouth that you love the Lord but in your heart chase after the things of this world. Instead, let your life be an example to others that you follow the Lord's way, doing those things that are pleasing to Him and not to the world.</description>

                        <description>When you hear the voice of God do you listen and obey His leading? Not doing so leads to disobedience. In his message today, Pastor David shares how this kind of rebellion is the same as any other sin. You may not follow God's leading because you think you know a better way, or you doubt that God knows what is best for you. However, the Lord knows the plans He has for you, and they are good plans. So instead of thinking you know better than God, obey the voice of our sovereign Lord.</description>

                        <description>In the book of Judges, the Israelites follow a predictable pattern. The elders don't pass down the history of what the Lord has done for them, so they fall into sin. Because of that sin, God calls for servitude. Then the people ask for forgiveness, which by God's grace He provides. The cycle happens over and over again. The church today similarly risks failing the next generation, by not teaching them about Jesus. Don't follow the Israelites pattern, but be encouraged to share with the next generation.</description>

However, if you have faith that He will move in your life, He will do what He is big enough to do!</itunes:summary>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Sin separates us from a holy God. Before Jesus paid the penalty for humankind's sin, the Old Testament believers had sacrifices as a way to atone for their sin. God has always loved and wanted a relationship with His people, so the offerings were a way for sin to be forgiven. In his message, Pastor David shows how the animal sacrifices were never enough. They were pointing to Jesus, the perfect sacrifice that was to come. Your sin is wholly forgiven in Jesus, and the old laws are no more.</description>

You have the same purpose and calling that Aaron had as the first priest in the book of Exodus. Each Christian believer is a representative to the lost people of this world. You represent the grace found in God and the hope found in Christ. Your life can be an inspiration to an unbeliever to learn more about Jesus.

                        <description>Peter and the disciples prayed for boldness in sharing the gospel during times of persecution. Because of their boldness, many came to Christ even when the consequences were dire. In today’s message, Pastor David discusses the importance of being educated at the foot of the Master. Peter was uneducated by the worlds standards, yet became one of Jesus’ most trusted and vocal disciples. Time with Jesus is never wasted.

                        <description>As Christians, we try hard to follow God’s leading in our lives. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to make decisions within God’s Will rather than based solely on our own fleshly desires. We can do good things, but apart from God, they will not succeed or bear any fruit. God even works outside of logic, so we can’t trust our own instincts to make good decisions. Are you allowing the Lord to lead you? Check your motives before moving forward. </description>

If you trace back to Noah, all humanity is connected through the bloodline of Jesus, and we all share the same need to be reconciled with God the Father. However, that's only possible through the blood of Jesus. Through His sacrifice, you can literally become part of Jesus' family! If you're having a hard time with your Earthly family, God wants to continue to redeem and reconcile humanity, so pray for them!</description>

			<title>Who, Really Is In Your Heart? Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>During Christmas, we celebrate the coming of Jesus – but do you truly comprehend the incarnation of GOD? The creator of all things came to Earth in human form – fully God and fully man. Today, Pastor David will teach that we often limit the greatness of Jesus' ministry and only observe bits and pieces of who He is. Especially on Christmas, you might be celebrating a “seasonally discounted” Jesus, a partial version of Him, a kind of Jesus that you don't need to sacrifice anything for. Are you committed to the TRUE Jesus?</description>

                        <description>In this Christmas season, what pictures of Jesus do you see portrayed around? So often we see just bits and pieces of Him. Is Jesus simply someone who takes you to Heaven? Or someone who is just a good friend, who gives you peace and security? The problem is, while all of that is true, that's not the FULL reality of who Jesus is. Pastor David will teach that the Lord actually brings a challenge that you may not be thinking about... You'll learn today the entire message of Jesus and what it really means to follow Him.</description>

                        <description>Children are a blessing from God. Sometimes parents think that disciplining, correcting, and setting boundaries will somehow be detrimental to the child. Today, Pastor David uses the life of Samson to show us that the opposite is true. Samson ruled the roost and when he became an adult, his demands became more destructive. Yet still, his parents obliged. The Bible tells us that children need to be trained up in the ways they should go. It is up to you, as a parent, to guide them just as Christ guides you.

However, it isn’t until they see God work in their own lives that their parents’ God becomes their God. Today, Pastor David discusses this. Being raised in a Christian home will begin to shape children’s beliefs and introduce them to who God is. But they don’t fully enter into a relationship with God until they come to an impasse where only God is the answer. Have you chosen God for yourself?</description>

However, in today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that we do the same thing all the time. We think we will be happy and content “if we can just get that one thing.” Whether it be a car, a nice vacation, even just a delicious meal, there is always something we think we need. We seek to gratify our immediate desires, often at the expense of our long-term comfort and God’s plan for our future. Don’t be like Esau.  </description>

			<title>David Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Christians are not immune to making ungodly mistakes and taking wrong turns in their walk with the Lord. Today, Pastor David discusses this truth in the life of David. David made some terrible decisions including adultery and murder. We are tempted to judge his life and write-off any relationship he had with the Lord. However, David’s poor decision-making is a warning to us that all Christians can have lapses in judgment and fall into temptations. Stand guard. You are not immune. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Rejection of Godly advice can be disastrous. God places individuals in our lives to be his hands and feet, and often His messengers. Today, Pastor David encourages us to listen to Godly counsel. The consequences of ignoring such advice will not always present themselves right away, but eventually, they will catch up with us. Have you surrounded yourself with Bible-believing, Jesus-following friends? If so, their advice should be of great value to you. </description>

			<title>Saul Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Saul was a man of God. Unfortunately, there came a time in his life when he became jealous of David’s accomplishments, impatient with the Lord’s timing, and relied less and less on Samuel’s advice and the Word of God. In today’s message, Pastor David discusses how Saul will be remembered for his impatience and taking matters into his own hands. Often this is the case with us also, because when we go against God’s plans, things don’t work out well. Trust in the Lord and wait upon Him.

                        <description>Obedience to the Lord is hard work. That’s why Paul encouraged believers to not grow weary in doing good for the Lord. We will certainly meet opposition and attack from the enemy. Today, Pastor David encourages us to keep going. He uses the example of Salmon swimming upstream. It is tremendously hard work and they meet many obstacles. Still, they persevere. Only a few make it to the end, but none of them give up. Be strengthened in the Lord and never cease doing good work in His name. </description>

Today, Pastor David commends Paul’s efforts to live a life of example rather than just of preaching. He was not a man that said, “Do what I say and not what I do.” His followers could look to his example of how to live a Christian life and follow Jesus whole-heartedly. Are you that kind of an example? Can people look to you and see a hard worker and a lover of Jesus?</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We can often take other people’s negative actions toward us very personally. We wish condemnation and God’s judgment on them right there and then. However, in today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that God is more patient than we are. He sees our struggles but wants for all people to come to a saving knowledge of Christ. He tarries now, but eternal judgment is coming for all. Do you love others with a heart like Christ’s? Are you patient and wish even your enemies well?</description>

In today’s message, Pastor David implores us to take hold of this victory! Some Christians still walk around in chains. However, these chains have no locks on them.

Today, Pastor David reminds us that the Bible encourages us to esteem and respect pastors for their work’s sake. These people are under God’s authority to lead local believers. Their jobs are difficult and under constant attack from the enemy. Do you esteem your church authority in love?

God calls us to love one another. Paul understood that this commandment was impossible apart from the Lord. In today’s message, Pastor David further explains Paul’s teaching in First Thessalonians, that says when we abide in Christ, we are supernaturally gifted with the ability to love others. We cannot do it on our own. As we grow in Christ, we become more like Him and are able to love more like Him. Are you abiding in Christ and growing in your love for others?

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The enemy attacks the church and its people whenever possible. He wants nothing more than for us to turn from God or be confused and misled. In today’s message, Pastor David discusses the importance of being in fellowship with other believers, being in the Word of God, and sitting under God’s teaching. Do not be persuaded by the teachings of men. Be accountable to and honest with other believers. We all struggle to follow God’s narrow path. Do not walk it alone.  </description>

                        <description>Today, Pastor David reminds us that it matters how we live out our Christian testimony. It matters to the One who redeemed us. Jesus cares how we look to others in this world. If our lives look exactly like those around us, then His death on the cross was in vain. It also matters to those around us who do not have Christ and are heading to an eternity apart from God. Therefore, how you live out your testimony on this earth should matter to you! Are you being used by God and bold for the gospel?</description>

                        <description>Paul and the early Christians faced severe persecution. Many Christians around the world today face similar circumstances. In today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that the gospel is outrageous and offensive to those not ready to listen. If you are being bold for Christ, you will run into those who oppose you. The truth of Jesus cannot be watered down, or it no longer means anything. People need to hear about Christ and their own need for Him just as they did back in Paul’s day.</description>

While some of us may be intimidated by the thought of this, one of the most powerful ways to do so is by simply living a Gospel centered life. In today's message, Pastor David teaches us how God uses the fruits of The Spirit in our lives to reach out to others. In our study, we learn that by simply living lives in pursuit of righteousness and peace, others are bound to be drawn to The Gospel.  </description>

                        <description> The Bible makes it very clear that the Christian life is much more than a mere profession of faith or occasional church attendance.  All throughout Scripture we read that a Christian's life is marked by continual sanctification and growth in maturity. In today's message, Pastor David teaches us about the heart, zeal, and passion that was driving the Church of Thessalonica. In our study, we learn a powerful example of just what it means to be a blood bought, born again, Kingdom driven believer in Christ.

                        <description>There's probably a vast majority of us that look at the split of Paul and John Mark as a sort of dramatic or tense ordeal. While Scripture doesn't really give us as much detail as we might prefer, we often tend to think of the situation as a negative one. However, as Pastor David teaches us in our study today, this separation was more than likely a prayerful and considerate one. In our study, we learn that while there might be tensions at times in ministry, not everyone is called or led by The Spirit in the same direction. </description>

                        <description>Messages that speak of the judgement and wrath of God are often considered controversial by many to say the least. However, it's important that we consider the implications regarding God's character if He were to never judge evil and sin. In today's message, Pastor David teaches us that it's because God is loving and just that He must one day judge mankind. In our study, we learn that while God's wrath is indeed terrifying, for Him to disregard sin and evil would be even more so.    </description>

			<title>Willful Ignorance Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Many of us are probably all too familiar with the old saying “ignorance is bliss.” While this might have some practical application for things that are less than important, this type of mindset can be extremely dangerous regarding things that are. In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the hearts of those who are willfully ignorant of the truths that God has revealed. In our study, we learn about the hard heartedness of those who choose not to believe, no matter how much evidence is laid before them.   </description>

                        <description>Many of us can easily struggle when it comes to comprehending something that we're typically so far removed from. When it comes to the liberties of the Church today and the persecution of the early Church, we often have a hard time understanding the contrast. In today's message, Pastor David challenges us with the message that Peter gave to the early Church in the midst of their persecution. In our study, we learn the importance of letting our light so shine before men, especially as believers with such great freedom.  </description>

In today’s message, Pastor David points out that false teachers try to add to the finished work of the cross. Instead of teaching that we receive the gift of salvation by faith, these deceivers lead the people back into the bondage of works based religion. Pastor David admonishes us to hold fast to Christ and the precious freedom He gave us, for we no longer have to try to work to earn salvation. It is a free gift of God.</description>

However, Scripture also reveals that Satan masquerades as an angel of light, and he too can perform lying signs and wonders to deceive many. In today’s message, Pastor David warns us that a miracle does not necessarily mean that God is at work. If we seek after miracles more than Jesus, we open ourselves up deception. Pastor David points out that the way to protect ourselves from being duped by Satan’s razzle dazzle is to know the truth as defined by the Scriptures.</description>

Furthermore, if we think we know better than God, or worse still, if we stand in judgment against the Lord, we are deceived. The truth is we cannot comprehend the wonder and majesty of Jesus, and His ways are perfect. So, when we don’t understand, we can trust in the Lord’s goodness.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Satan, our enemy, quietly tries to slip into the fellowship of believers to steal, kill, and destroy. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that from the first century church onward, Satan has infiltrated the church like a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing bringing with him false doctrine and discord.

			<title>The Believer's Swan Song Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that anyone who loves the world is at enmity with God. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that when we focus on the things of this world, things like houses, cars, careers, power, and prestige, we are diametrically opposed to the Lord. Further, worldly focus is always self focused. If we are to be like Jesus, we need to put God first. As we surrender our lives to the Lord’s leadership and focus on loving Him and others as we are commanded, the things of this world grow strangely dim.  </description>

                        <description>A fruit tree that does not produce fruit is useless to a farmer. In the same way, Christians who do not produce fruit are not living up to the high calling they received in Christ Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to be “fruity Christians”. In order to do this, we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to empower us to add to the characteristics of Jesus in our hearts and minds. As we become more like Christ and reflect more of His character, we will naturally be fruit bearers.</description>

			<title>This Crazy Little Thing Called Love Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Human love is usually self seeking. In other words, we love because we expect something in return. However, God’s love, or agape love, is selfless. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that agape love is found only in the Person of Jesus Christ. Agape love is never rude. It always hopes. It is never selfish or prideful. Agape love hates evil but rejoices in the truth even when the truth can be difficult to hear. Pastor David points out that we can only agape love others through the indwelling and power of the Holy Spirit. </description>

If we have an amazing ability to teach the Bible, but we do not deliver the truth with love, we gain nothing. If we give all that we have to the poor but do not love our neighbor, the Lord is not impressed by our generosity. If we have all knowledge and understanding but do not have love, our words will sound like bothersome noise. </description>

			<title>The Great Escape Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that we have been given everything we need for life and Godliness. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that the main thing that the Lord provides is His very own Spirit to empower us to do as God would have us do. The Holy Spirit convicts us when we do wrong and leads us back into fellowship with Christ. The Holy Spirit also leads us into all truth so that we might rightly divide the Word of God and know what Jesus’s will for our life is. The Holy Spirit is also our Comforter and Helper in times of need.</description>

			<title>Guardians of the Faith Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>All of the world religions attempt to teach man how to work their way to God. However, despite man’s best efforts, he can never reach enlightenment or perfection. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that what differentiates Christianity from all other religions is that Chirst’s followers come to the Lord fully admitting that they can never obtain perfection in their own strength. Instead, Believers approach God by faith. Christians believe that Jesus paid the debt of sin on the cross and through His blood, they have the righteousness of God.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Much of the New Testament cannon is devoted to encouraging Believers to be students of the Word. In today’s message, Pastor David reminds us of the importance of knowing the truth as defined by the Bible. Those that do not know what God says are in great danger of deception and will be unable to make the necessary, often difficult, yet wise decisions that lead to life. However, those that know the Word will be able to rightly discern God’s will for their life and will recognize a lie when it comes.

			<title>A Confident Humility Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The life of a Christian is tough. We have to daily die to our flesh and submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ on a moment by moment basis. Further, we have an enemy who prowls around us like a roaring lion waiting for the perfect time to try and kill, steal, and destroy us. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that even when life gets tough and the attacks of the enemy are at their peak, we have God’s promise of perfect peace. Jesus is able to give us joy in the midst of pain and strength to overcome all of life’s challenges.</description>

                        <description>We as God’s people have been given new life. Abba Father is our God and we have inherited every spiritual blessing. We know that Jesus loves us and cares for our every need. In today’s message, Pastor David points out that if we truly believe everything the Lord says about us in His Word, we no longer have to be afraid about man’s opinion of us. This allows us to walk in humility and to serve others with joy. In other words, a heart that is content and confident in God is not moved by earthly circumstances.</description>

                        <description>Leading the Lord’s people is a high calling with great responsibilities. Those who aren’t called to shepherd the Lord’s people or who are unprepared to lead should not be allowed to enter into leadership positions. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us what the qualifications are for a pastor, bishop, elder, or anyone else in church leadership. First and foremost, church leaders should be living examples of faithfulness to Jesus Christ. Also, church leaders are called to serve God’s people sacrificially and care for their needs.</description>

                        <description>The Church is no stranger to persecution. God’s people have endured great suffering and hardship in the Name of Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor David admonishes us to never forget our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. There are more Christians suffering for the Lord around the world than at any other time in human history, and we are called to remember them in our prayers.

			<title>The End Of All Things Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David will outline several things to look for that signal the end times and Second Coming the Lord Jesus. We will learn that the frequency of disease, war, and famine will increase just as labor pains increase in intensity before a baby is born. Pastor David also teaches us that the love of many will grow cold and wickedness will rule men’s hearts. People will cease to follow sound doctrine but will seek after teachers who do not confront sin but preach “feel good” messages and a watered down Gospel. </description>

                        <description>The Lord Jesus’s Second Coming could happen at any day and at any hour. In today’s message, Pastor David fans the flames of excited expectation for the Lord’s return. If we live as though He could come any moment as the Bible teaches, we will always be found faithful and diligent. However, if we forget the Lord’s imminent return, we are at risk of falling asleep in our Christian walk or becoming sidetracked by the trappings of this world. The fact is that Jesus is coming soon, and so we must always be ready to meet Him.  </description>

Jesus said that He would return to earth someday, but nobody would be able to predict the exact timing of His Second Coming. In today’s message, Pastor David warns against date setters who claim to have special knowledge to be able to predict when Christ will come for His people. The Word is clear that date setting is impossible. Pastor David also teaches us that though we cannot know the exact day and hour, we can know the general season of Jesus’s return based on Biblical prophecy.

                        <description>Before a Christian experienced the new birth, he was a slave to his flesh. He may have been a liar, a thief, rebellious, or been addicted to drugs. He may have put his career or his wants and wishes before the Lord’s. However, after submitting to Christ’s Lordship, his old way of life was nailed to the cross. In today’s message, Pastor David points out that if we continue to habitually practice lawlessness as an unbeliever does, we should very carefully examine ourselves and our hearts to determine if we really and truly do belong to Jesus.</description>

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that baptism by emersion is a Biblical command, and so as obedient followers of Christ we should be baptized.

                        <description>The ritual of baptism is a physical symbol of what happens to us when we give our lives to Christ. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that when we are submerged in the water, it represents the death of our flesh and our old way of life. Then, when we reemerge out of the water, we show that we have been washed by the blood of Christ and have received the new birth that only comes from knowing Jesus. Pastor David points out that the act of baptism does not save us but is merely a demonstration of our faith and a sign of obedience.</description>

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that the way to accomplish one mind in a body of believers is for everyone to have singular focus on Christ. As the Church sets its eyes on Jesus, God steers the ship and directs the path. The Lord also empowers His people to put the needs of others first. As God’s people live sacrificial selfless lives, the unity that Peter speaks about becomes apparent in the Body of Christ.</description>

As the Church sets its eyes on Jesus, God steers the ship and directs the path. The Lord also empowers His people to put the needs of others first. As God’s people live sacrificial selfless lives, the unity that Peter speaks about becomes apparent in the Body of Christ.</itunes:subtitle>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In 1 Peter chapter 3, Peter writes on the subject of submission. Children are instructed to obey and submit to their parents. Husbands and wives are instructed to submit to their spouses. All members of the Body of Christ are to submit to each other and to earthly authorities. As each person in the family of God submits to one another in Christian love, the Church functions well and in perfect unity. When the Church is unified, it can fulfill the Great Commission without division and reflect God’s love and glory.</description>

Would you live very differently to prepare, or would you continue on with life as normal because you were already ready to meet the King of Kings? In today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to remember the that the Lord’s Second Coming is imminent.

Though Sarah was flawed just like the rest of us, God used her mightily. Sarah was able to submit to her husband even in very difficult circumstances because she trusted the Lord with the outcome. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages wives to trust the Lord as Sarah did.

                        <description>When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed that God the Father would choose to redeem mankind in another way- a way that did not include the cross. However, ultimately Jesus prayed for and submitted to His Father’s will. In today’s message, Pastor David challenges us to radically trust God in every circumstance just as Jesus did. Christ was able to submit to His Father because He trusted that what men meant for harm, God would use for good. We too can trust that the Lord will do the same in our lives. </description>

                        <description>Scripture admonishes Christians to be living sacrifices to God. In other words, all of our hopes, dreams, and aspirations should belong to the Lord. We have to die to our wishes, wants, and desires so that we might be useable in God’s Kingdom. In today’s message, Pastor David points out that we must continually work to put to death our old self and its selfish desires. In fact, sometimes the sacrificial life is a moment by moment enterprise. Therefore, we must be diligent to continually surrender ourselves to Jesus’s will.</description>

			<title>Jesus, The Chief Cornerstone Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Any mason knows that the cornerstone of a building is absolutely pivotal to its foundation. The Word of God says that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without Christ, the entire church collapses. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that though the Pharisees and Sadducees worked hard in their religious rituals to appease God in their own strength, because they rejected the Chief Cornerstone, they stood condemned and outside the Kingdom of God.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that Believers are to love one another as God first loved us. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that we are commanded to love each other. This means that demonstrating God’s love to others, even those with persnickety personalities, is never an option. In fact, sometimes we must lead our hearts and decide to love even we don’t feel like it. The good news is that as we demonstrate God’s love to each other and even to our enemies, the world will recognize the power and grace of the Lord Jesus.</description>

                        <description>Jesus loves us with the agape love of God. He then asks us to love our brothers and sisters in Christ with this same powerful love. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that in order to obey the command to love we must be intentional about putting aside our former ways of dealing with people that included evil divisive things like deceit, malice, jealousy, and strife. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can choose to demonstrate God’s agape love to one another so that Christ might be glorified.</description>

Though our obedience does not earn us salvation, true obedience comes when we belong to the Lord and want to please Him with our lives. Pastor David also points out that those who obey only when it is convenient or when they feel like it should examine themselves and their relationship with God.

                        <description>Throughout the history of man, people have tried to earn salvation and forgiveness of sin. In fact, there have been some religious institutions that have duped people into trying to buy salvation for themselves or their loved ones. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that the only thing that can buy our salvation is the precious blood of the Lamb of God. When Jesus died on the cross, He cried out, “Tetelestai”, or paid in full, because His invaluable sacrifice was the only acceptable way we could be reunited with the Father.</description>

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that we cannot earn the Lord’s favor and love through obedience. Christ’s death demonstrated that we already have God’s love. Instead, we obey Jesus in response to what He did for us.

In today’s message, Pastor David unpacks this instruction by teaching us that in Biblical times in order to run or move quickly, folks had to tie up their long robes so as to not get in the way. Therefore, the Word is telling believers when it says “gird your loins” to get ready to work. Pastor David teaches us that Christians cannot be lazy. We must be diligent students of the Word in order to give a reason for our faith, and we must be hard working to make eternal Kingdom impact on earth.</description>

			<title>Prophesied Grace Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>All of the Old Testament speaks of the Lord Jesus. In fact, the Lord used prophets like Isaiah and David to foretell of the coming promised Messiah who would save God’s people from their sins. In today’s message, Pastor David unpacks the prophetic words of the ancients who testified to future earthly ministry of Jesus. Every word these righteous men wrote down was fulfilled to the letter. Though the Old Testament prophets could not have fully known the impact of what they were writing, we have the blessing of understanding.</description>

			<title>Doxology Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God is powerful. By Him all things were made, and through His power all things are held together. In today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that it is through the power of God that we receive forgiveness from our sins. When the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, He forever defeated death so that we might obtain salvation. It is also through the power of the Holy Spirit that we are kept in the palm of God’s hand. Just as we could not save ourselves from the bondage of sin, we also cannot live holy lives without God’s power working in us.</description>

God is rich in mercy, and all of the people of the world are recipients of His grace. In today’s message, Pastor David asks us to reflect upon and remember all that God has done for us. The breath in our lungs is just one example of the blessings bestowed upon us. The Lord provides for us, clothes us, feeds us, and sends rain to replenish the dry ground. God’s greatest act of mercy occurred when He sent His own Son to die in our place. Because of the Lord’s great grace, His people receive salvation and eternal life.

                        <description>The Christian life and walk is never easy. We face battles of the flesh that war against the will and workings of the Holy Spirit. We face battles from the outside that come in the form of ostracism, deception, and all forms of worldly philosophy that try to set itself up against the wisdom and knowledge of God. In today’s message, Pastor David encourages those that are feeling battle weary to look to Christ Jesus for strength. When we are weak, the Lord is strong. He who overcame sin and death can help His people gain the victory in all of life’s challenges.

			<title>Pilgrims in Process An Intro Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that we are Christ’s ambassadors. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that this means that we are literally God’s representatives on earth. Therefore, we are to shine the light of Jesus and live such holy lives as to reflect the Lord’s love, goodness, and justice on earth. Practically this means that church leadership should never underestimate their responsibility to the people in their care. Pastor David also points out that all of us should be accountable to each other so that Christ might be glorified.

Now, here's Pastor David with part 2 of today's message 1 Peter Intro: Pilgrims in Progress: Our Sanctification from the book of 1 Peter.

From the very first words in this powerful epistle, we learn that Christians live as pilgrims in a strange, foreign, and oftentimes hostile land. For the Believer in Jesus Christ, heaven is our home. We sojourn here on earth for a short time to make an impact for the Kingdom of God and do the work that has been prepared for us to do. Even more exciting, God’s Spirit empowers us and makes us into the likeness of the Son.

                        <description>People wonder how God can be three people at once.  Or even, how He can be the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.   Think of a man.  He is someone's father, brother, co worker, nephew, maybe even someone's husband.  He's also someone's son.  Yet, he's still one man.  Pastor David reminds us that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  He has many roles in our lives, yet He's still ONE. We also need to consider that we don't have to understand everything in the Bible to make it true!</description>

Think of the most beautiful bride that you've ever seen.  Now consider the fact that we are the bride of Christ.  He makes us more beautiful than any bride before us.  We become someone so breathtaking.  That is really hard to wrap our minds around, but we need to.  The Lord loves us so much, and we need to let that sink in.  We live our lives like we're alone, yet we are betrothed to God!</description>

                        <description>When we're young, it's hard to relate to the fact that we'll be getting new bodies in Heaven. As youths we're very capable and able.  To stay that way it takes a lot of work, and even still it doesn't always work.  Pastor David is right there with us rejoicing that we'll all have new bodies!  However, as much as we're looking forward to that, we still need to be useful here on Earth!  We've heard the saying don't be so heavenly minded that we're no earthly good.  Now let's share the Gospel like we mean it!

                        <description>Do you ever wake up in the morning, really tight and sore, realizing you're not getting any younger?  Sometimes a hot shower is what's needed just to get these old bones moving.  It's in those times that we may want to say come Lord, Jesus come! Pastor David relates to this and reminds us that just because He hasn't come yet, doesn't mean He won't!  Scoffers can say what they want, but in the end we know WHO wins! Let's not wait until then to start living in victory! We are the Apple of God's eye!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We're children of God.  When we come to know the Lord, we are adopted into His family.  That means that we become royalty.  Pastor David is urging us to not take this lightly. He's reminding us that Jesus didn't take it lightly.  He took it so serious that He was put to death in the most excruciating way possible.  And He did it without complaint.  Without pointing out all the stupid things we have done or will do.  He died knowing exactly who we are.  How great is it that our God didn't stay dead, but rose again? </description>

                        <description>As we go through life as Christians, knowing that the enemy is out to steal, kill, and destroy can be really scary.  Pastor David is  putting some perspective on our relationship with our enemy today.  He is just an angel.  He was created by God, and will not win against Him.  He may seem like he's having victory over the world right now, but his day is coming.  We are specifically told in God's Word that he will be defeated.  Scripture doesn't fail.  It's true and right.  It's the Word of God and we can stand on that!</description>

                        <description>We hear so many dates and times in the Bible.  We especially hear about time periods that will take place in Revelation.  Pastor David is teaching today about how literal it actually is.  When John says that something will take place for a thousand years, he means that something will take place for a thousand years.  When people try to spiritual-ize, add to, or change what the Bible says, run! We are told to rightly divide the Word of Truth. That means that we're responsible for what we know, so take heed!</description>

                        <description>God's people have always been under attack.  So much so, that it almost looks like some of their part in the Book of Revelation has already come to pass.  Pastor David is teaching today that it hasn't.  We are in the midst of the end times as we speak.  So many things are beginning to line up in Revelation and Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine.  It seems like it's something that we should be scared of, but as Christians we should be excited.  We are closer now to the rapture than we've ever been before!</description>

Maybe you realized that they weren't even a Christian, and it made a little ashamed of your walk.

			<itunes:summary>Have you ever met anyone who shakes their fist at God?  Maybe they had something terrible happen to them, like a death in the family.  As Christians, we can try to share God's goodness with them, but it's a hard job when they're so jaded and hurt.  Pastor David urges us to keep loving people.  Whatever they're going through is between them and the Lord.  Our job is to share Jesus.  They may or may not make the choice to worship God, but we can rest knowing that we did everything in our power.</itunes:summary>

                        <description>Have you ever talked with anyone who has hardened their heart towards God?  Maybe you've shared miracles or blessings that have happened to you personally, and they're still not convinced of His goodness.  Pastor David is teaching us today about those people who harden their hearts towards the Lord during the tribulation.  They're so blind that even these super natural events that take place won't change their minds!  They will blaspheme the only One who can save them in all they'll go through.</description>

                        <description>Revelation talks about plagues that will kill off huge amounts of people.  Pastor David is reminding us that there are already deadly diseases around right now!  We can do everything in our power to attempt staying healthy, but when it's our time, it's our time.  No amount of healthy living will keep us from dying.  Yes, we should take care of our temples that the Lord has given us.  But we need to be wise about our own mortality.  Thankfully to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!</description>

                        <description>When we come before the Lord in worship, we need to actually worship.  Pastor David wants us to put some thought into this.  Are we actually worshiping the Maker of the Universe when we are singing?  Are we letting those words to the songs sink down deep?  Maybe you've been struggling lately with this.  Next time, try just listening with your eyes closed.  Agree with the words to the songs as you talk to the Lord in your heart, and take it all in.  Oh, what wonderful communion is ahead for us with our God!</description>

Thankfully, the Lord will not allow him to have that victory. Even though they haven't been the most faithful, God still protects them.

			<title>Preparation for the Third Woe Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Do you go through trials every Sunday when you're trying to get ready to go to church?  We're going to experience chaos on a regular basis.  Pastor David wants to remind us that the Lord has us covered even during those chaotic times.  He knows the number of the hairs on our head.  Imagine knowing someone so intimately!?  So, next time we're in a bind or feeling pressure, we need to remember that God's got this.  We need to let go and let God.  He can handle it much better than we can anyways!</description>

			<title>The Intermission Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Do you ever wonder what the significance of certain numbers are in the Bible?  As we study God's Word, we learn He ties everything together in an amazing way. Today Pastor David talks with us about people being raised from the dead.  Why were they dead three days?  It confirms their death!  Dead is dead after a few days.  If they were raised from the dead right after they died, many would try to say they weren't actually dead.  This way, them being raised from the dead is a definite miracle from God! </description>

                        <description>Have you ever shared with someone and thrown your hands up in the air because they're not hearing you?  Pastor David is encouraging us today to continue to pursue them.  Our job is to plant seeds.  What the Lord does with those seeds is out of our hands.  It's not our job to judge whether their hearts are softening to the Gospel.  Our job is to continue to share with them, even when the outcome seems bleak. Let's all be refreshed by today's teaching, and allow it to energize us to press on!  </description>

                        <description>Do you ever read the Bible and wonder how people can harden their hearts against God?  Well, our consciences will actually get seared as we sin.  One time will hurt us terribly.  Then the pain of that sin will begin to subside as we do it more often.  Soon, we don't even notice that we're doing it anymore. Pastor David wants us to be reaching out to people who are being hardened.  We need to have compassion on them, and continue to share.  We can't count anyone out!

But then when His wrath is poured out on the earth, there will still be people who purse their lips and shake their fists at Him.  Pastor David wants us to share the Good News before it's too late. We can be used in saving so many people from torment! What's stopping us?  Let's go out and share why we have that peace that surpasses understanding in an evil day and age.</description>

                        <description>We are warned in scripture about God's wrath being poured out on those who turn from Him.  What Pastor David is urging us to do today is share the Good News!  No one has to go through that torment.  We are all given ample time and information to choose whether we accept the Lord or not.  We have the anecdote to a very severe plague that's about to come our way.  WHY would we keep it to ourselves?  WHY are we not sharing with urgency?  We need to save as many people as possible before it's too late.

The Gospel is being shared now more than ever before, thanks to electronics and the internet. Pastor David is highlighting today how even the most prepared person will be on their knees.  The only thing that we need to be doing to get ready for the last days is to accept Jesus.  If we seek first the Kingdom of God, all the rest of the stuff will fall into place.

                        <description>Have you ever experienced a calm before a storm?  It can be almost eerie how still everything is.  Pastor David is likening that calm to the quiet that happened in Revelation.  There was intense worship happening, and then sudden quiet.  We're tossing around the idea today that the stillness may be the quiet before the storm that's coming from the Lord. God's Word is so fascinating, and it never ceases to keep us on our toes.  As we listen in we can be thankful for what foreknowledge we're given. </description>

Maybe there's a small child crying, a person in the front waiving their hands around, or the usual off beat clapper.  Pastor David wants to remind us that worship is a choice. We can choose to enter into communion with our Lord no matter what is happening around us.  We choose to allow, those things to be distractions to us. So, next time we're in that situation, let's not let Satan be victorious over us with his nonsense antics!

Maybe there's a small child crying, a person in the front waiving their hands around, or the usual off beat clapper.  Pastor David wants to remind us that worship is a choice. We can choose to enter into communion with our Lord no matter what is happening around us.  We choose to allow, those things to be distractions to us. So, next time we're in that situation, let's not let Satan be victorious over us with his nonsense antics!

                        <description>Have you ever visited a church and were just blown away by how deep into worship the congregation was?  Pastor David desires the same to be said for all of us.  When someone comes to visit our church, would they be taken by our utter worship of God? We should want to be in that place. If we're already there and we're getting the sweetest communion possible, that's wonderful.  But if not, let that be our prayer.  We don't have to be a titan of faith to be close to our Lord, and know Who He is!

                        <description>Do you ever read through the Bible and wonder why the Lord is so specific about numbers and measurements?  Pastor David is still not sure why, but we can take some guesses!  Maybe God is so specific so that when Biblical prophesy comes to pass, it lines up to the exact number or measurement stated.  Thankfully the Lord knows everything so that we don't have to. We may get to Heaven and find out everything, or we may never know the reasons. We can just trust in Him and continue on our paths.  </description>

Maybe they're an intimidating person, and it might be embarrassing if they say no.  Pastor David reminds us to let God be the judge. By choosing not to share, we've judged that person. The Lord is the only One Who knows a man's heart.  He is the only One Who can see if they'll accept Him or not.  We're to  simply plant the seed.  What happens next is out of our hands.</description>

God is God, and we are not. He is the one with the power and ability to handle everything in our lives.  We aren't supposed to be carrying this burden alone.  We're reminded of that repeatedly in the Word. When we finally let go and let God, we're much more at peace.  That doesn't mean that there are no trials, but that we're not alone in them.</description>

What Pastor David is reminding us of is that people see events in different ways.  If you ask different witnesses of a crime what happened, you will get varying answers and descriptions.  However, that doesn't mean the crime didn't happen.  So, as we read different people's views of what happened that are recorded in the Bible, we just need to consider what it would have been like.</description>

We may think that someone is a lost cause, but only God knows their hearts. We just need to keep showing them Jesus through our lives, and praying that they'll come to the knowledge of Jesus as Savior.  What an awesome gift to us to be used in such a powerful way.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We are warned time and again through scripture not to be lukewarm. It's really easy to fall into the trap of busyness. We can be on fire for the Lord, then we have things that need to get done, so we set Him aside.  The next day comes and again we do the same.  We're not out there sinning up a storm, but we're also not spending the time with Him that we should.  Pastor David is urging us to not get caught up in the culture of busy.  We need to make time with Jesus a priority in order to stay close to Him.   </description>

                        <description>There are countless schools of thought on self improvement.  People seek worldly knowledge and betterment more now than ever.  Pastor David encourages us to seek Biblical knowledge.  We can have all of the degrees in the world, but if we don't know Jesus, we're in a bad spot!  Seeking to know God and know His Word puts us in a place of wisdom and peace.  Many people today are very intelligent, yet they're completely unsettled.  They need Jesus just as much as everyone else does in the world! </description>

                        <description>If you died right now, would you be embarrassed about what you were doing?  Maybe you're considering or wrestling with a secret sin.  Pastor David wants to encourage us to stay on the straight and narrow.  He wants us to arrive in Heaven and be glad that we were in the middle of serving or seeking the Lord.  We should take account of our habits, and ask ourselves if there's anything that needs to go.  We can weigh our actions by asking ourselves if we'd still be doing it if Jesus were in the room with us.   </description>

He can do it way better than we ever could.  With Him as our defense, it's going to come in His perfect timing too!  As tough as it is, we need to remember that vengeance is the Lord's.  He is a just God, and He knows exactly what every situation requires.  We'd be wise to step aside and let Him work.  We're not helping things when we're standing right in the way!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>If we compare ourselves to those around us, we probably look pretty amazing.  Pastor David reminds us that the only One we should be comparing ourselves to is the Lord.  He's the only standard of measure that matters.  Of course we're going to look like a saint compared to the person that's in continual sin.  We shouldn't be seeking out someone who is worse off than us, just to make ourselves feel better.  We should be immersed in God's Word, and daily dying to ourselves, seeking to be more like Him.</description>

                        <description>Have you ever taken the time to consider how your walk is going?  There can be times in our lives when we are having a mountain top experience.  Then, there can be other times when we're lukewarm. The question is, how did we get there?  Pastor David is urging us to stay near to the Lord.  If we're daily in His Word, and seeking Him diligently, we'll remain on fire.  The alternative is allowing this world to sear our consciences, letting little bits of Satan into our lives more and more each day.

Yes, we receive grace from the Lord, but that doesn't make us free to live out every whim of pleasure we seek.  We need to take up our cross and follow Him.

			<title>The Church of Pergamos Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The world is all about keeping up with the Joneses.  Entitlement is rampant in this generation.  We live among people that won't hear truth because it offends them.  Pastor David shows us how this parallels to the churches that received warnings in Revelation. An idol is an idol, whether it's a bronze statue or a giant television. Ungodliness is ungodliness, whether it's wanting pagan traditions of old or wanting intimacy outside of marriage.  We need to run from sin, no matter what generation it is!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We are living in an age of darkness.  Good is called evil and evil is called good.  We're considered intolerant if we express any sort of disagreement about evil. Not being fully supportive of other people's sin makes us a bulls eye for the world.  Pastor David wants to encourage us to stay strong.  If we prepare ourselves with the full armor of God, we can make it through.  This doesn't mean that we'll come through unscathed, but keeping eternity in perspective makes the fight totally worth it!</description>

                        <description>Have you ever had a trial that you thought you wouldn't make it through?  Or maybe you even asked, why God? Now that you're through it, are you thankful for it?  That's not to say it's anything you'd ever want to go through again, but as Pastor David points out, we grow through it! The Lord allows that which He hates to accomplish that which He loves.  He doesn't enjoy us being in or going through trials.  However, He will allow it so that we can learn and grow from the experience.  Lord let us be fast learners!</description>

What Pastor David is teaching us today through Revelation is about God with a capital G.  Jesus, the Christ, is the only God Who has ever risen from the dead.  The rest of the gods that people worship or idolize died, and they stayed dead.  That doesn't seem very god like, now does it?  We would be wise to take account of anything that we may put above Jesus in our lives.  He's the only God! </description>

Pastor David is reminding us that they're all missing something, Christ!  Without Jesus, no amount of counseling or self help is going to bring peace.  We all need Jesus as our anchor.  Once we are steady because of our Lord, we can begin to find peace and joy in troubled waters.  He is the only way any of us will know true happiness in our lives.</description>

                        <description>It's pretty easy to read the Bible and compare ourselves with the titans of faith that the stories contain.  Maybe we even think there's no way we could ever have that kind of faith. Pastor David wants to encourage us that we can!  We need only the faith of a mustard seed to be used by the Lord.  He can work with what little we have to offer.  A great prayer during a time of testing would be, Lord I believe, help my unbelief! Strong faith is something that we all could use an extra dose of each day!</description>

			<title>The Alpha Omega Trail Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Trinity is confusing to some people.  They wonder how Jesus can be God and the Son at the same time.  Consider your mom.  She's your mom, as well as someone's daughter, sister, friend, wife, employee, and neighbor.  She is one person, yet all of those titles at the same time.  Pastor David touches on us recognizing the deity of Christ today.  We need to remember  Jesus saves.  We need only to come to Him.  Once we do, He doesn't leave us alone, He sends us a Helper to be with us.</description>

                        <description>Do you ever get so overwhelmed by the goodness of God that you just have to tell Him?  Maybe that's not really something that you've ever done before.  Pastor David wants to encourage us to be glory saying people.  If we get into the habit throughout our days of giving glory to God, then joy and peace will follow!  Recognizing that every good and perfect gift comes from above is a great habit to adopt.  Knowing that we have nothing without the Lord is humbling, but it's a safe place to live our lives!</description>

                        <description>Have you ever been around anyone that just can't seem to find peace, no matter how hard they try?  Maybe you're struggling with that as well.  Pastor David wants to encourage us to seek our peace through Jesus.  He's the only way that we'll have that true peace that surpasses all understanding.  The Lord never promised that we'd have smooth sailing void of storms.  But He did promise never to leave us or forsake us, and that He'd take our burden for us.  Maybe we just need to ask Him today!</description>

                        <description>Have you ever stopped to consider what it was like for John to write Revelation?  Pastor David wants to inspire us toward such an intimate walk with the Lord.  We too can have a close relationship with Him.  The ball is in our court.  He's always willing to hear from us.  He'd never turn us away, or say that He's too busy.  Our rapport with God is all dependent on how much we put into it.  If we're a Sunday Christian, then we're not going to be close with Him.  But being with Him daily brings intimacy.</description>

This idea is easy to see in many of the seeker friendly type of churches out there today.  There are many that won't speak of Hell, or anything that would make their members uncomfortable.  Pastor David wants to be sure not to do us a disservice.  He wants to teach us the whole truth.  If that means making us uncomfortable because we have to face our sin, then so be it.  This way we are prepared with the whole truth.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We read about the mark of the beast in the Bible.  There are differing schools of thought about what the mark will actually be.  Pastor David wants to encourage us all today to be prepared.  The way we know when something is a fake is by studying the real thing.  So, the way to know the voice of God, as opposed to the mark, is by knowing the Lord intimately.  That comes with time spent in His Word daily.  This puts us in the practice of hearing His voice, so we won't be fooled by Satan's antics.</description>

In today's message from Pastor David, he teaches that standing for the Truth of The Gospel is necessary, and will almost always cost us something. Throughout history, those who stood for the Truth, sometimes lost their jobs, their relationships, and even their lives. To stand for the Truth, will cost us. However; God promises to always be with us, and that He will never leave us. We need to live our lives,   with the knowledge that He is with us; and stand for the Truth!

In today's message from Pastor David, he teaches us that The Word is both God and Spirit inspired, and is still relevant in the hearts and minds of people today. That is why it is important that we preach, teach, and study from The Word of God. No other book is more relevant or more transformational than the Bible. The Bible is the living Word, and is sharper than any sword. Get into God's Word this week, and share His Word with others.</description>

That is why it is important that we preach, teach, and study from The Word of God. No other book is more relevant or more transformational than the Bible. The Bible is the living Word, and is sharper than any sword. Get into God's Word this week, and share His Word with others.</itunes:summary>

                        <description>Are we open to taking correction from our leaders? In today's message from Pastor David, he teaches us that those who are opposed to correction within the Body, are toxic. Like cancer, those within the church who want to do what they want and when they want, are actually moving against the Body of Christ. We need to serve in ways that move with the Body of Christ, and learn to receive correction from our leaders. Remember as you serve this week, to come humbly and open to receiving correction. </description>

                        <description>Have you ever ran a race and wanted to give up? In today's message from Pastor David, he encourages us to stay focused and to keep running our race. As Christians, it's sometimes easy to forget that the race we are running, is not a sprint; but a marathon. We can become weary in our battles, and want to give up. Often, it's the closer we get to the finish line, that the race becomes harder. However; push through with Christ! He has already won, and will lead you on into victory! Keep running your race!</description>

                        <description>It's the Word of God, not the word of man, that changes hearts! In today's message from Pastor David, we are reminded that no matter how charismatic some speakers might be, if they are not preaching through God's Word, their messages will not last.

Remember to stay in God's Word, and watch your hearts be changed!</description>

Before Christ, Paul had some major sins he needed cleansed from. However, once Paul received Christ, he was a new creation. Like Paul, once we receive Christ, we too become new creations. Whatever past or current sin we might be struggling with, Jesus came so we might be cleansed from it. Jesus not only forgives our sins, but cleanses us and make us pure!

			<title>Our Call and Work of Ministry Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Are we pursuing the right things? Sometimes it can be hard to know what to pursue. In today's message from Pastor David, we learn through Paul's warning to Timothy, about what the right pursuits are. Love, patience, kindness, and goodness, are some of the traits Paul lists in Galatians chapter five, as honorable pursuits. However, without The Holy Spirit leading our lives, this list can become very hard to meet. Pursue God through His Word daily, and The Holy Spirit will show you what to pursue!

			<title>Contented Slaves Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Are you content with what you have? In today's message from Pastor David, he reminds us the importance of being content. One would think, that the love of money would only come from those in lack. However, often times it's those who have plenty, that the love of money consumes. Once they have more, it's never enough and the striving continues. The love of money becomes a trap and leads to enslavement. Let's be sure to be content with whatever we have, and wherever we are today!</description>

                        <description>How often do we hear people speaking poorly about their employers or managers? In today's message from Pastor David, he teaches us that just as Paul was encouraging the slaves to honor their masters, so today should employees honor their employers. Everything we do should be done to honor Christ, and bring glory to His name. As Christian believers, by honoring our employers, we are bringing honor and glory to Christ. Remember as you go to work today, that you are serving Christ!

                        <description>The body of Christ needs to protect it's leaders! In today's message from Pastor David, we learn the importance of the body of Christ protecting and supporting it's leaders. Pastors and elders, and any leader that is serving the Church, is considered to be on the “front lines” for Christ. It's important that we support, pray, protect, and guard them from the attacks of the enemy. Our Church leaders do so much to serve and protect us, and it's very important that we help do the same for them!</description>

From the importance of the Trinity, a virgin birth, or a bodily resurrection, countless attempts have been made against key doctrines.

In our study, we learn about the false doctrine of universalism and it's attempt to dethrone Christ as the one and only way to salvation.      </description>

                        <description>Whenever we meet someone who has a title either before or after their name, we can sometimes feel a little intimidated. Whether it's because they yield a position of authority or the title declares great knowledge, it may cause us to act a little timid. But what if certain titles should make us feel the exact opposite? In today's message Pastor David teaches us about the title Deacon. 
In our study, we learn how the leaders and designated positions within the Church are to be servants, rather than lording over others.

			<itunes:summary>Whenever we meet someone who has a title either before or after their name, we can sometimes feel a little intimidated. Whether it's because they yield a position of authority or the title declares great knowledge, it may cause us to act a little timid. But what if certain titles should make us feel the exact opposite? In today's message Pastor David teaches us about the title Deacon.

                        <description>Money can quickly become a rather controversial topic when discussing doctrines of tithing, giving, or outreach for ministry. Whether we agree on a flat ten percent, giving beyond, or not giving at all, there's been plenty debate regarding money.

In our study, we learn the importance of recognizing those who would use people for money, rather than money for reaching out to people.      </description>

From false doctrines, altered translations, or even more dangerously, false prophets who seek to deceive and lead astray. In today's message, Pastor David teaches us the dangers of false prophets who seek to divide and confuse students of God's Word. In our study, we learn that one of the signs of a false prophet is someone who tears down and divides, rather than building up the Body of Christ.     </description>

As many of us have experienced, it doesn't always feel like we're getting the growth and benefits that the Word has to offer. In today's message, Pastor David reflects on the importance of taking in God's Word at a pace that offers growth and learning. In our study, we learn how God's Word is much more beneficial when we approach it methodically and thoughtfully.

                        <description>Perhaps one of the most dangerous idealogical developments of our generation is the idea of moral relativism. This is the idea that moral standards are subject to the current cultural norms and can shift at any given moment. However, we as believers know that this ideology is simply impossible to live out. In today's message, Pastor David warns us about the rampant rise of moral relativism in our culture today. In our study, we learn the importance of holding fast to God's Word as our standard no matter how controversial we might become.   </description>

                        <description>While many of us might think that false doctrines aren't spread very often, Paul's letter to Timothy would say otherwise. Ever since the beginning of the Church in the first century, our enemy seeks to deceive and lead as many astray as possible.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>While many of us have never been in the ministry of pastoring, we'd probably all agree that it's not for the faint of heart. For most of us, even the idea of teaching a group of people leaves us feeling uncomfortable or anxious. Combine that with the warning in James about teachers of the Word being held to a higher accountability, we'd probably pass on it altogether. In today's message, Pastor David teaches us about the high demands of teaching and pastoring. In our study, we learn the importance of being constantly filled with The Spirit when leading God's flock.  </description>

                        <description>As the study of 2 Corinthians comes to a close, Pastor David teaches about what mattered most to the apostle Paul.  Although Paul was the founder of the Corinthian church and spent over a year teaching and training them, divisions arose and Paul was being criticized.  While Paul wanted to clear up the disputes among them, he pushed most of all for their unity and maturity of faith in Jesus Christ.  This should also be the goal of our faith today lest we be distracted from what matters most.     </description>

Even though Paul faced criticism from the church, he sought above all to drive the believers toward a mature relationship with God.  In fact, Paul encouraged them to surpass himself in the strength of their faith if it meant that were truly following God.

			<title>Porcupine Christians Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The scriptures implore Christians to allow their light to shine before others that they may be drawn by the love of God.  If the actions of a Christian don’t show that they are changed by God, then Pastor David says they may be a porcupine Christian.  The quills of a porcupine hurt and propel – not God’s love.  Love as God intended brings light into the darkness and lifts us out of sin and despair.  Obedience and surrender to God can produce humility and gentleness that allow others see God in us.

By this, he means Christians who are supposed be filled with God’s love yet their actions are destructive toward others and themselves.  Are you walking in God’s light, keeping His commands, and loving others?  If not, our actions may be pushing others away rather than demonstrating the love of God. A real experience with the transforming love of God will begin a change in you that enables you to obey God and live for Him.   </description>

			<title>the Apostle's Challenge Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David takes us back through many of Paul’s hardships that he endured for the sake of the gospel.  Paul nearly lost his life and he had ongoing issues that he struggled to understand.  Why did Paul have to endure these difficult times?  Could he have accomplished more had his life been smoother?  Paul knew the answer, for he believed that it was because of his troubles that God was able to use him in a might way. God’s strength was made perfect in Paul’s weakness.  </description>

			<title>The Apostle's Challenge Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today, Pastor David explains how Paul had to lean heavily on his experience to remind the Corinthian church of his qualifications. It seems that in the book of 2nd Corinthians Paul had reached his wits end over the accusations against him by false apostles. More important than his own reputation, Paul was extremely concerned that the believers not be convinced to reject the gospel of Jesus Christ.  To Paul, believing in Jesus Christ and following him was more important that any comfort in this world.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David teaches about Paul’s battle and struggle with those he calls false apostles.  From 2 Corinthians, it seems that dynamic, good preachers and charismatic leaders were winning over the Corinthian believers.  The problem was that these preachers were not sharing the true gospel, and their influence was becoming an obstacle to the true gospel of God transforming lives.  Paul was bold especially when it came to leading and keeping others in relationship with Jesus Christ.

			<title>Believing the Lie Over the Truth Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The truth of God must be believed not just because it is true, for it is also the best direction for our lives.  Pastor David reminds us today that we have a complete need of God to be lifted up out of sin and given new life in God, and we accomplish nothing apart from God.  God created us, sustains us, forgives us, calls us, and uses us to help accomplish his work on this earth.  Our solid foundation is found in God.  We are just like Paul who said his only valid boast was about what God had done in his life.   </description>

Today Pastor David explains how Paul faced criticism from false teachers regarding his ministry, and Paul’s defense was to point to the lives of those being transformed for God. God does not bless our lives and ministry so that we can boast about our own accomplishments.  As you obey and trust in God, He will work His plan which greater than you can understand.

                        <description>Pastor David reminds us today that the goal of all Christians is to be like Jesus Christ.  This goal is not a religious requirement; rather, this is essential for the spiritual battle which all believers will face.  The Bible challenges us to think about that which is noble, pure, and just because God understands our struggle. In order to face the challenges of temptation or sinful desires and emerge victorious, we must look to the things of God and lean on God’s understanding and strength.  God will lead us through!  </description>

How is it that a believer can know how much to give to the work of God or needs of others?  To understand what to give, one must pray that God would show them, and the spiritual blessing can be a walk with God built on trust that God will provide for your needs.

			<title>Financial Blessings Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David addresses Paul’s words regarding financial stewardship, which can be applied today.  Paul was certainly taking up a collection for the Jerusalem church, but Paul did not want the people to give out of unhealthy pressure.  Instead of contributing out of a desire to please others or being coerced, Christians are to donate out of a cheerful heart that is longing to please God and see God’s work continue.  A sure principle the Bible teaches is that we will reap what we sow.     </description>

                        <description>The last time you were with us Pastor David shared with us some of the staggering mathematical possibilities surrounding just a handful of the prophecies pertaining to Jesus Christ. The likelihood of even a fraction of the prophecies being fulfilled is completely impossible. And yet, we know, that Jesus fulfilled all of them to a “T”.

                        <description>In the last several broadcasts we've been learning more about Advent. Each broadcast Pastor David has featured a certain element of Advent and how it impacts us. The promise of the LORD's return is one that we need to keep ever present in our minds. And the Christmas season is one that helps us do that. When we stop and think about how Jesus made His way to us here on earth, through the virgin birth, in a manger, heralded by a star...it's easy to see His return even more clearly. </description>

                        <description>We know that there has been a big push as of late to remove the words “Merry Christmas” from the Christmas celebration. Today Pastor David will talk about why this is happening and what our response might need to be. Should we continue to say “Merry Christmas”? Is there a better phrase that communicates the joy of the season? Of course, “Merry Christmas” is a wonderful expression. But, today Pastor David will share with us that the word “Maranatha” is an even better one! We will learn that the return of the LORD is directly connected with the season.

			<title>Financial Responsibility Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>A standard level for financial giving within the Christian church has often been ten percent of one’s income, which is based on Biblical examples. However, Pastor David says the most important test is giving what God wants you to give out of a cheerful heart. Therefore, the principle of ten percent is a guideline but God may call you to give and do more!  Giving to the work of God is not simply a financial transaction; rather, it is meant to be a gift offered within a loving relationship.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David teaches about the importance of understanding that God knows our hearts, and God desires that we give from a cheerful heart.  So, what is your attitude when you give?  The reality is that the one who gives enjoys as much of a blessing as the one who receives.  Further, our willingness to give can reflect the state of our trust in God.  So, if we want to experience a great blessing from God in our hearts and lives, we must trust God especially with the financial area of our life.

Various churches that Paul preached to contributed financially to help support one another in ministry, and their gifts were given out of the generosity of their hearts.  God has also given us a lot for which we can be thankful.  Because of God’s generosity, we can also be generous toward God and His work in this world.

                        <description>Today, with Pastor David, we will look at the exemplary illustration of Paul’s patience and endurance.  Paul miraculously survived many hardships and conflicts in his ministry. When ministry gets difficult, what can encourage us to keep moving forward?  God has promised eternal life for all people, and anything we live through now will be worth it.  Therefore, it is worthwhile to face the challenge of living for God and loving others so that God’s presence may be enjoyed forever.  </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David teaches today how the scripture informs believers of their dependence on the grace of God, and believers have an individual mandate and responsibility.  A Christian cannot expect that God will have wave a magic wand and suddenly all temptation or struggle will disappear.  As one learns through ups and downs how to walk according to God’s truth and wisdom, God’s grace is always available.  The grace of God is meant for a lifelong journey of growth for which God’s patience is sufficient.  </description>

Not only is this amazing, Pastor David also encourages us today to consider how God’s grace continues to be active in our lives after our salvation.  Christians are called to run this race of life by faith which requires responsibility working within the power of God.

As a follower of Christ, one is called to be both separate from the world yet also influential with the love of God to those who are far from Him.  A Christian must ask God for wisdom to discern when and where to protect oneself from destructive influences, and then, also seek clarity for the times that will allow for an authentic impact with the love of God.  The love of God is a gift that is meant be shared through you!     </description>

			<title>Tents on Mission Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David reminds us of our eternal perspective as believers.  The reality is that all people are guaranteed to die one day, and in much of this life, our bodies are wearing down and wasting away.  However, the scriptures tell us that our earthly bodies don’t compare to the new bodies promised to us in eternity when we will be fully in God’s presence. Until then, God has made you for this time, in your place, and among those around to share in His mission for this world!</description>

                        <description>Apostle Paul’s life and ministry are hard to fathom.  Can anyone imagine surviving imprisonments, shipwrecks, snake bites, beatings, hunger and more?  How can one go through this and not lose their mind?  Pastor David reveals how Paul could survive these incredible natural circumstances. It was only because of the supernatural at work in him.  Due to the work of God in him, Paul had an eternal perspective that fueled his endurance, and God’s Spirit is shared by all believers!    </description>

                        <description>Today Pastor David preaches about the perspective of Paul regarding his ministry.  His viewpoint was focused on glorifying God and drawing people to God.  Paul was not concerned about himself being acknowledged, but he defended himself because he did not want the true gospel of Jesus Christ he preached being forsaken.  Is your perspective in life directed by and focused on Jesus Christ?  Jesus alone holds the keys to life and happiness now and forever.  </description>

                        <description>How an event is interpreted depends on one’s perspective.  Much like the old question, “is the cup half full or half empty?”  Today Pastor David teaches us about Paul’s perspective on life due the transformation that God brought about in him.  Paul was changed from persecuting Christians to preaching for Christ.  God can give us a perspective adjustment so that our worldview is shaped by a Godly, eternal vision rather than a temporary, worldly way of living.   </description>

			<title>Paul's Resume - Corinth Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Before the apostle Paul encountered Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, he was an expert on the law.  As an expert, he emphasized to the Corinthian church that the law brings death; therefore, our faith justified by Jesus not our actions.  Pastor David explains that the law in the Old Testament revealed how desperately we need God, but those religious rules were powerless to do what the Spirit of God does in a person.  Don’t be fooled! It’s not your own ability that can keep you close God.</description>

So, Paul didn’t go Corinth, preach, and then everything turned out perfect.  The church was a work in progress by the Spirit of God and Paul’s leadership.  We also are in progress today because God does not give up on us, and God loves us too much to allow us to stay as we are.  </description>

If that’s the case, Pastor David challenges us to consider that it is God in us and God’s call that qualifies us for ministry.  Whatever we have done in the past, God can change us and use us.

Pastor David assures us that although so much in life is changing and uncertain, God is steadfast and strong.  Paul’s defense to those who criticized him was that it was God in him that fueled his ministry.  Therefore when we are weak or endure trials in life, those are moments we can understand how God is with us.  Assurance comes from God because of His great love which we can be experienced now in a relationship with God.

                        <description>What if being shipwrecked or imprisoned was a threat when going on a mission trip?  Would we still go if we really felt God was calling us?  Believe it or not, this is just some of what Paul faced as he served God.  Today Pastor David lays before us what Paul endured and how he approached those who criticized his ministry.   Paul saw all the he endured as proof that God was with him, and he was eager not to brag but to share how God had been faithful.

                        <description>Pastor David teaches about the strength of Paul’s endurance for ministry.  When reading 2 Corinthians, it becomes clear that Paul still needed to defend himself, and Paul had an impressive resume when it came to ministry.  Through the strength of God in him, Paul endured incredibly difficult circumstances for the sake of the gospel.  As you wonder whether you can make it, the story of Paul’s life can be an example because God brought him through impossible situations just as God can with you!

			<title>Perseverance in Trials Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Today Pastor David uncovers a misplaced longing in people’s lives.  Often, people hope to avoid any trouble, and even Christians may hope for comfort so that they can avoid challenges.  The problem with this is that God never promised to remove trials from our lives; rather, God is the God of all comfort who is present in every circumstance.  Just as Jesus suffered in this life so you also will suffer in this life, but God demonstrated power over trials, even death, in the resurrection of Jesus!

                        <description>The heartbeat of the gospel is the grace of God.  For all believers no matter their age, ability, or role, grace draws them to God and sustain their lives.  Pastor David encourages you to focus on the grace of God in your life because this is something for which you must be extremely grateful.  You are not accepted because you are good enough or have sufficient strength; rather, God gives people more than they deserve, a free gift of grace, because He loves us!   </description>

                        <description>Pastor David introduces us to the book of 2nd Corinthians today.  If there is one theme found in this book, it would be comfort.  Paul uses the word comfort consistently throughout 2nd Corinthians as he addresses issues between the church and himself.  This is a good reminder because in the midst of the trials of ministry and life, the comfort of God is needed.  Experiencing this comfort and fulfilling the purpose of your life comes through trusting solely on God!    </description>

The heroes of the Bible depended upon the Lord for strength and direction, and as you seek to serve the Lord, you also will be enabled to do great things for God!

Too often, we act first and then ask God to bless what we have already done.  Rather than starting off in our own direction, God must be sought first in prayer so that He is leading. This will not eliminate difficulty or testing of faith, yet it is better to walk with the Lord through pain than be separated from Him.

			<title>A Heart-Felt Faith-Filled Gift Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The first Christians received in an incredible gift of faith and peace through Christ.  However, in social circles, those who became Christians could be ostracized by friends and family which could cause suffering in many ways.  Paul was using his connection with various churches as an opportunity to collect money for those in need, and Pastor David explains how even in our time today we must be aware of the needs of others and seek how God wants us to help.    </description>

                        <description>As a Christian you can have a hope that lasts through any trial you face on this earth.  Those who do not believe in God have nothing to look forward to beyond this temporary life.  However, Pastor David encourages you to focus on the incredible hope you have because of Jesus resurrection.  Just as Jesus was raised to new life, so you also have a perfect life awaiting you one day in heaven.  When we are with God, this corruptible life will be gone and we will be just as God has planned.   </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The resurrection will continue to play a vital role our Christian faith.  Jesus Christ died and rose again, and when he appeared to Mary in the garden she did not recognize him.  Why wouldn’t she recognize Jesus?  Pastor David’s conclusion is that Jesus had been changed by his resurrection.  When we are resurrected one day we will be completely different than we are now.  God is transforming us now in this life, and one day when this earthly body dies, we will be resurrected completely new with Jesus.

                        <description>The apostle Paul is an example for our faith, and his transformation is remarkable.  Most incredibly, God made a person who was prosecuting Christians into a Christian who was persecuted. Do you doubt God can change your life? Pastor David reminds us that the power of God demonstrated in the resurrection reveals that it is not by any of our own power that we have salvation.  It is the embrace of the Spirit of God by which we’re empowered and emboldened to live for God’s glory!

Today Pastor David explains that this is not about authority or power or strict guidelines; rather, the purpose of instruction on the use spiritual gifts is to get everybody on the same track toward Jesus Christ. Remember the blessings of God are meant to bring Him glory.  If spiritual gifts bring attention to an individual rather than point people to God, they are out of order and need a spiritual adjustment.         </description>

			<title>Order in the Church Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We cannot allow our fears or discomfort to limit what God can do in our midst.  If you are not comfortable with a spiritual gift such as speaking in tongues, use God’s word to guide you to an understanding.  Scripture gives guidance to our worship and our relationship with God, and God desires order for worship so that people are not being distracted from the truth that will change their lives.  Also, having order means we submit to the teaching of scripture rather than an individual’s understanding.    </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>There will be a time when the spiritual gifts are no longer needed.  Pastor David shows us that when we are in God’s presence because we go to heaven or God comes back we will no longer need spiritual gifts.  The spiritual gifts are a catalyst by which we encourage ourselves and others in a walk with God in our present time.  So, seek the gifts of God to be used for God until that time comes. When He comes we will have all that we need for a perfect understanding of God!

                        <description>Today we explore the powerful, practical love of God as Pastor David explores the description of God’s love in 1st Corinthians 13.  It is the love of God undergirds all that we do, and though we may fail, God will not!  Everything we have can be attributed to God’s choice to create you and I, and any ability we have is because God designed us with his wisdom.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>With Pastor David we explore the most popular emotion in our culture today – love.  Love is idolized and portrayed in all manners of art and music. However, our culture’s obsession with romantic love lacks the depths of love found in the Bible.  For a Biblical view of love, we look to God, who is our standard. The word for God’s love is “agape”, and God’s love is unconditional and more profound then attraction or kindness.  The love of God is never failing, patient, and saves us for all eternity!    </description>

			<title>Discerning and Tongues Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David teaches about the use of tongues as a gift of the Holy Spirit.  Hearing someone speak in tongues is common for some but not others, but we should not allow our level of comfort to determine what is or is not a gift from God.  Just as we trust God to provide for our needs, we also must yield control to God’s choice of gifts bestowed upon each person.  When it comes to spiritual gifts, we should pray that we will have discernment and that God will be glorified!

                        <description>Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift listed by Paul, and there are many places in the scriptures that refer to the use of tongues.  In today’s message, Pastor David recognizes that the gift of tongues has many interpretations and practices in the church yet a common aim for this gift in scripture is to honor God.  Pastor David proposes that tongues is not a gift that everyone will have, but when it is properly used by those who receive it, believers can be edified, which brings glory to God! </description>

                        <description>We all have many voices and influences bombarding our minds and hearts every day.  It is not healthy to listen to everything that comes our way, and choosing that which we allow in our life depends on our ability to perceive and understand.  In today’s message, Pastor David describes this ability – the gift of discernment.  This is a gift that God can give to anyone at any time, and by the power and wisdom of God, this gift enables a believer to utilize an ability greater than their own strength!  </description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David explores the question, “did prophecy end with the completion of the scriptures?” The scripture’s teaching holds greater authority than the instruction or interpretation of a person today, but Pastor David explains how this does not negate the gifts of God in our time.  Too often, believers are walking in the power of human strength due to misunderstandings or past misuse of God gifts.  Don’t allow anything to hold you back from serving as God leads you! </description>

                        <description>
Prophecy is a commonly used term in the church but it is an easily confused gift of the Spirit.  In today’s message, Pastor David explores the scripture’s teaching about the supernatural gift of prophecy.  Prophecy is inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak on God’s behalf to edify or challenge others.  In 1st Corinthians, Paul labeled prophecy as one of the most important abilities that God gives.  Pastor David expresses that this is a gift that God can use through anyone at any time!

                        <description>Each person is an essential part of the body of Christ.  Why is this so?  This is because God created believers with a diversity of abilities for a variety of ministries.  If everyone had the same capabilities and pursued the identical gifts, we wouldn’t all be necessary.  Today, Pastor David gives excellent teaching on the value of having supernatural gifts that are created in us by God and grown through the work of the Holy Spirit.

                        <description>Many of us desire to be independent, and we attempt to use our own strength and ability.  This is natural but God desires that we receive and utilize the wisdom of God.  The enemy would rather you keep living life in your own strength.  In today’s message, Pastor David teaches about the role of Holy Spirit in this world and in our lives.  The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to draw you to God, and as you draw closer, you will comprehend your need of God’s strength and wisdom to replace your own.</description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David’s describes various spiritual gifts that Paul lists in the scriptures.  In the church, some gifts may be held in higher regard.  Sometimes we may feel that our spiritual gifts are less important or not useful to body of Christ.  However, it is not scriptural to see some God-given abilities as lesser than others. You have a role within God’s work for which you were designed, and scripture encourages you to boldly use your gifts and pray that God will give you more!  </description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David emphasizes the need to submit to one another under God’s authority.  Paul instructed the Corinthian church that submitting to God extends to our interaction with others.  If we mistreat people and do not consider the needs of others as important as our own, then we are not taking God’s teaching seriously. God’s work for us is so significant that we must submit no matter what it takes, for God loves us and holds the keys to eternity.  </description>

Submitting to spiritual authority is necessary for an individual and a church because we surrender to God’s leading.

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David explores the correlations of Paul’s message to the Corinthians with our current time. Those who Paul wrote to also faced temptation from their culture.  Sin and temptation lure us in, and if we give in too far, we may make the very decision we should avoid.  The scripture says that with every temptation there is a way of escape, and nothing we face is a temptation that someone has not overcome.  Stay back from the edge of temptation and stick to the grace-filled path of God.   </description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David teaches about Paul’s message to the Corinthians regarding their support of his ministry. Paul emphasized that they needed to support that which matters most in this world; therefore, they need to uphold the message of the gospel so that many more people will hear God’s incredible message. This means we must prop up our fellow believers, especially those providing leadership for the church. You are God’s church and God can use you today!   </description>

Paul’s message to the Corinthian church was that they need to provide for the needs of those overseeing the ministry of the gospel.  Now, Paul did not depend solely on their help because he was a tentmaker, but he intended to instruct the church about their willingness to support God’s ministry. God offers an opportunity for us to uphold His work through our involvement in the church.

The believers were not seeking reconciliation and healing as God would desire; rather, they were tearing one another down as the world would do. How believers treat one another, both then and now, is evidence of how we are living out our salvation.  Treating others with kindness, grace, and the wisdom of God is what is best for others and our own spirit.  </description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David continues his study of Paul’s discipline of certain actions within the Corinthian church. When you experience salvation, you are enabled to live a new life that seeks God’s standard instead of sinful or worldly tendencies.  God’s grace is available to all and should be extended to others who make mistakes or sinful choices.  Though the grace of God is free and abundant, God’s plan is that your life be steered away from sin, seek forgiveness, and be changed!  </description>

However, with all the church had going for it they were missing the point – all Christians are united with God in love. Today Pastor David encourages us all to be sure we do not miss that key ingredient as well.  We can’t boast in ourselves but in God alone for all He has done in and for us!  </description>

Our lives can radiate God’s love in a way that draws people to God and brings Him honor.  Today Pastor Dave warns that too many Christians are living carnally minded just like when they were in the world.  Instead, He teaches that a Christian does good works because they are a part of God’s kingdom and filled with the Holy Spirit.  What we do or leave undone will have eternal rewards or consequences; so, you must live spiritually minded and do what matters most for God.

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David describes three types of spiritual people.  One type is those who are not saved, and a second type is those who have received salvation through Christ and are serving Him.  A third type of spiritual person is one who has been saved but may act in a carnal way.  This carnal way manifests itself in actions that hurt and divide instead of working with the Spirit of God to bring blessing and life.  May you leave behind carnal ways and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life!

			<title>The Mind of Christ Part 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David discusses the importance of a worldview that is formed and lead by Christ. Because of the presence of God’s Spirit in our lives as believers, we have an understanding that unbelievers do not experience.  Having this wisdom does not mean we are immune to the affects or influence of sin, and we must still lean into God’s strength and continually seek His wisdom.  Through God’s patient guidance we can be changed so the mind of Christ rules and reigns in us!</description>

                        <description>In today’s message, Pastor David explores Paul’s defense of himself toward false teachers.  The church in Corinth was experiencing division, and the believers were forming groups around their favorite teacher.  Our pride and arrogance can cause us to be divided from others and distracted from God’s work.  The Holy Spirit, however, can change our tendency toward sinful treatment of others.  We have hope because by the power of God alone can people be changed for God’s glory!</description>

                        <description>The laws and Holiness of God are what separate us from Him. Our sin can be seen as a great chasm, with us on the dark, death-filled side, and God’s side is bright and full of life.  Before Christ, there was no way to cross that divide.  But, as Pastor David explains in today’s message, Christ, in His death, bridged that gap.  He stands in our defense, freeing us from the death and shame we inherit at birth.  He invites us to accept His salvation and cross the bridge into the land of abundant, eternal life.  	  </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>It’s the foolishness of the cross that causes many people to resist salvation.  But it is the same message which causes men to be saved.  God’s love for us will never change, nor will His method of salvation.  Although men have invented a number of ways to say can be saved, it is the foolishness of the cross that remains the only way to God.  In today’s program with Pastor David, we’re encouraged to continue in the simple truth that God lived, died, and rose again to restore relationship with fallen men.</description>

                        <description>There are a number of reasons why a church experiences division.  But certainly, not having patience for one another can be a very divisive thing.  The Word of God exhorts to strengthen each other and encourage one another to love and good deeds, but as Pastor David points out, it often doesn’t work out that way.  Every church, out of obedience to Christ, must learn to follow JESUS example by growing in love and putting personal differences aside to further God’s work for the glory of Christ.  </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The church was never meant to be as divided as it is today.  Even the Apostle Paul dealt with divisions emerging within the early church.  In today’s program with Pastor David, we’re encouraged to put our differences aside and walk in unity.  The body of Christ was designed to live as one.

                        <description>When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church, he didn’t write to commend them for their holiness.  Yet while his letter was written for the purpose of correction, he greeted them with grace and peace as was customary in his letters.  In our time with Pastor David, we’ll hear about the purpose of the letter Paul wrote to the Corinthian believers.  We are called to be set apart, holy, and sanctified unto God, rather than living according to the basic principles of this world.  Believers are to walk in the truth.</description>

                        <description>Paul didn’t baptize many people in the city of Corinth.  But one of the men he did baptize was an important leader in the synagogue by the name of Crispus.  As we’ll hear in today’s program with Pastor David, we just never know how God will choose to work in a region.  It’s interesting to think how Crispus may have been used to further the work of God after Paul left the city of Corinth.  While Paul didn’t baptize many at that time, the testimony of Crispus greatly advanced the gospel in that area of the world.

In fact, as Pastor David points out, God called him long before his name was changed from Saul to Paul.  In today’s message, we’ll hear about the importance of every life as made evident through the Word of God.  Long before we do anything as a follower of Christ, God has called us to live up to our created destiny to fulfill the plans and purposes of God.

			<title>Preparing for His Second Advent Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>If you’re a believer in Christ, then the second coming of Jesus should be a joyous occasion. But, if your heart is unprepared for Him, it’s an eternal death sentence. Pastor David will challenge our hearts in this teaching, as we hear about the reality of what happens when judgment comes. The gift of the Savior began when He was sent by the Father…but it continues to bless all those who come to Him. We’ll consider the urgency of making the choice to accept salvation through Jesus, before it’s too late.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The path taken by Jesus, from His entrance into the world until His death and resurrection...it was a difficult road. Our path towards Jesus tends to be a rocky one as well. People didn’t recognize who Jesus was, and we don’t always recognize who we are outside of Jesus. But, as Pastor David will teach us today, that realization can only come when we submit to the Savior. God with us. We’ll come to understand what that means, why God would become man for a world that rebels against Him. </description>

                        <description>We hear the stories in the Bible, from Earth’s creation to the virgin birth…and those are integral to the Christian faith. But, a lot of people may only accept part of those truths…refusing to accept that those events could have happened that way. As Pastor David explains just how wide-spread those beliefs are, we’ll see the similarity to those who denied Jesus during His life on earth. We can’t explain many things in the Bible with human understanding, which is why faith and trust is vital in relationship with God.</description>

                        <description>Those who have been a believer in Christ for a decent amount of time are probably well aware of the ups and downs of faith. For many of us, we typically start off with a strong and fiery passion, only to find ourselves in a stagnant season. In today's message, Pastor David encourages us to reflect on our commitment to The Lord, and where we currently stand. If you've found yourself less passionate than when you first believed, this message will encourage you to take heart in God's faithfulness.

From our bondage of sin, to God's deliverance and the trials that test our faith, we can quickly recognize a stark contrast.

Whether we achieve a dream career or break a world record, we can all struggle with pride from time to time. Unfortunately, this form of pride can just as easily slip into the hearts of those that serve God. In today's study, Pastor David teaches us to be careful when it comes to pride. Using Joshua as an example, Pastor David draws our attention to how Joshua gave the glory that was due to God.

                        <description>You are not alone if you have ever asked yourself, “Where is God  in the midst of this thing I am going through?”  Today Pastor David acknowledges that common cry amongst both believers and non-believers.  He turns to Scripture to show examples of times it seemed God was non-existent, but every time he proved to be faithful to His promise.  If you believe the promises of Scripture are for you today, then you can believe that whatever trial you are facing, He will be faithful to the promise of His Word.

			<title>Our Refuge Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>One of the most beautiful attributes of God is His Hand of Comfort and Mercy which stretches out to so many in times of need.  Today Pastor David teaches on our Refuge, which is the Cross of Christ.  As he studies the book of Joshua, and the cities that were designated as places of refuge, he points out the similarities of God as our Refuge when needed most.  Be encouraged that whatever life has thrown your way lately, God is more than able to comfort you in the presence of His Refuge.  </description>

                        <description>Is there a greater challenge in life than to have faith in the midst of trials and adversity?  Scripture promises an eternal inheritance waiting for us after our life on earth, but do you ever find yourself looking for the joy that is promised to us even during our life on earth?  Today Pastor David challenges listeners to ignore the devil’s schemes, and keep an eternal mindset.  He speaks on the faith that is necessary to experience God’s inheritance for us not only in Heaven, but also here on earth.  </description>

                        <description>Have you ever looked at the inheritance of someone around you and become jealous?  Scripture states to rejoice with those who rejoice.  More importantly, did you know that in Christ you have already been given an inheritance that cannot be matched?  Today Pastor David encourages listeners of this inheritance that has been provided freely.  This free gift can only be attained by faith, and that is the challenge.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When you look at the men and women of the Bible…you see that obedience is a vital component of God’s blessings. As Pastor David takes us through the children of Israel’s possession of the land…you’ll hear how the people followed God, persevering through difficulty in order to experience the fullness of God’s inheritance for them. Faithfulness is equally important for us. He has a plan for each of us, and the only way to get there is by walking in obedience to Him as a believer, no matter what battles come.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Sometimes the truth isn’t pretty, and it’s how you respond to it that really matters. When Caleb goes out to survey the promised land, he doesn’t come back with good news…and he doesn’t sugar coat it. As Pastor David teaches today, that’s something to consider as we relate to others about how we’re doing. It’s not a powerful testimony if you’re saying “I’m fine” when you’re really not. Things may be hard, but if you’re holding onto God…that’s important. Trusting in God during strife is a powerful message. </description>

                        <description>An inheritance is truly a blessing…a gift. But, an inheritance from another person may have strings attached, requiring that you do something in order to attain it. That’s not so with God. As we’ll hear today from Pastor David, God gave His people not just a promised land…but a spiritual promise as well. They weren’t a perfect people, but their mistakes didn’t mean God would break His promise. If you are a believer in Jesus, you will also receive an inheritance...given through a covenant with the Father. </description>

In today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that our condition is like two dogs that are fighting.  The flesh pulls us one way and the Spirit pulls us another way.  Which one will win?

                        <description>In life’s battles we can become discouraged and wonder how we are going to get through them.  Jesus promised that we would have tribulation, so when tribulation comes, how do you respond?  In today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to remember how God responded in Israel’s battles.  If God can cause the sun to “stand still”, if He can part the Red Sea, if He can defeat 165,000 Midianites with only 300 men, then He can defeat our enemies as well.  And He will if we will only trust Him.

			<title>The God of Our Battles Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus promised that in this world we would have tribulation.  Loss of loved ones, sickness, financial difficulties, persecution…all prove Jesus’ words right.  And if we look to this world for peace and happiness, we will be disappointed.  In today’s message, Pastor David reminds us that we can’t look to this world for peace.  We must transfer our trust from the fleeting things of this life and put our faith, hope, and trust in God if we would be truly happy and fulfilled.  Only God is the Rock which cannot move.  </description>

                        <description>All of us have had problems in our lives.  And some of them are of our own making!  Poor decisions, sin, failing to seek the Lord…all of these things can lead to difficult circumstances.  But, in today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to keep our eyes not on the problem but the God of our problems.  God has made tremendous problems to us.  And He WILL fulfill them even in the midst of consequences from our poor decisions.  If we keep our eyes on Him and His promises, He will carry us through life’s problems.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We can learn many things from the failure of Israel with the Gibeonites.  We all have our personal “Gibeonites” – those decisions we’ve made in the past that have lingering consequences in our lives.  In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us to use these things in our lives as reminders that we are not perfect.  The Bible says that without Him we can do nothing.  We need to let these things remind us of that.  Will you let the “Gibeonites” in your life remind you of your need of Him?  </description>

But, in today’s message, Pastor David encourages us to not let the enemy get an upper-hand in our life by listening to his condemnation of us.  God convicts, but Satan condemns.  There is a big difference!  God will tell us the truth – what we did was sin.  But He will also tell us He loves us and can still use us!  Satan will condemn us and tell us we are worthless and cannot be used by God because of our past sin.  Who will you listen to?</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Lord told the Israelites to burn what they found in Jericho, but a man named Achan coveted what he saw there, and kept it. Not only did he disobey the Lord, but he CONTINUED to hide his secret - even when The Lord announced that His judgment was coming. How long do our sins go unconfessed, just because the anger of the Lord has not found us yet? Pastor David will be teaching today that although God’s heart IS for reconciliation, we should not keep walking in our sin like Achan, simply because He hasn’t disciplined us yet!

His sin prevented Israel from winning what would have been an EASY battle, against the small city of Ai. A whole nation was affected because of ONE man’s sin! We will learn that the promises of God ARE there for us, but sometimes we are our own enemies! As with Israel, our sin can stop us from conquering what the Lord has promised.

			<title>It's A Spiritual Battle Part 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Some of Christ’s commands or callings for your life may leave you shaking your head in confusion.

			<title>It's A Spiritual Battle Part 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We face physical battles on an almost daily basis.  Today Pastor David will talk about the Spiritual battles behind those physical battles.  As he studies Joshua chapters 5 and 6, Pastor David admires the leadership of Joshua.  The Israelites had been known to question The Lord and complain about their circumstances.  Here their faith is about to be truly tested as God calls them to march around the city of Jericho.  But Joshua’s leadership propels them because of his obedience to The Lord.

                        <description>Has God ever called you to do something totally opposite of what you would naturally want to do?  The reality is, in life, the Lord demands total surrender of our fleshly desires that can only separate us from Him.  Pastor David, in Joshua chapter 5, speaks on the custom of circumcision.  He compares this act to the “cutting away of flesh” that must take place in our life.  It hurts and is difficult to do, but the Lord is always faithful to supply us with the strength that it takes!</description>

                        <description>When we face something impossible, we try to rationalize; we calculate our best ideas; and we forget that God can do the supernatural! Today, we will learn with Pastor David that when the Israelites had to cross the Jordan, they could have chosen several reasonable alternatives – according to MAN’S wisdom. However, God called them to step into the river and watch Him OPEN the waters! Joshua could have argued with God, but instead, he OBEYED in faith. And only for that reason were they able to experience the miracles of God!

                        <description>Joshua is a book of faithfulness and disobedience. People were strong, but also fearful. Doesn’t that also describe… us?! Today Pastor David will be teaching about the choices we have to make between flesh and spirit, as we study the Israelites’ journey into the Promised Land. Moses said to the Lord: “if your Presence is not coming with us, we are not going!” Do we pray that kind of prayer? Are we willing to give up our own desires, in order to assure that we are fully within the perfect will of God for our lives?</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When Joshua became the new leader of Israel, God revealed to him that the people would rebel against the Lord; they would absorb terrible behaviors from the foreigners who lived in that land… There would be GREAT battles to be fought… What an intimidating new job! We will learn with Pastor David that it doesn’t matter how challenging a task or a calling may be; when you have the covering of the Holy Spirit over you, just like Joshua, you WILL be able to move forward in power! And NOTHING will stand against you!

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Lord is ALWAYS faithful. We can be quick to judge the Israelites, their rebellious behavior, and their lack of faith; but we can ALSO often forget the faithfulness of God in our own lives! In today’s message, Pastor David will teach about a GREAT tool that the Lord gave Moses: a SONG! God wanted the Israelites to have that song in their minds, so that when they entered the Promised Land, they would remember those words from the Lord, and never forget that His words never fail!

                        <description>God chose Israel not because they were great and powerful, but because they were little! In this way, GOD’S power would be EVIDENT to all the nations! Throughout the story of Joshua, we hear repeatedly the words: “Be strong and courageous,” and “do not fear, because the LORD is with you.” In today’s message, we will learn with Pastor David that, as with Joshua, God is always with us – and THAT’S why we are strong! That’s why we have nothing to fear! It’s HIS power in us, so we can be a living testimony of the glory of JESUS!

                        <description>The power of UNITY strengthens the body of Christ! In today’s message, we have the people of God confronted by all the challenges still ahead of them, in order for them to enter the Promised Land. Pastor David will teach us that in a moment of struggle, the best thing we can do is to remain UNITED. Isolation is a great weapon from the enemy to keep us powerless and defeated. So many Christians may have made it out of “Egypt,” but then settled in the wilderness! God wants us to keep pressing forward in unity into the Promised Land!</description>

We also face various barriers when we make our decision to follow Jesus... In today’s message, Pastor David will be teaching that it’s not about OUR ability to fight these giants, but it’s the GREATNESS of our God that helps us conquer our battles!

You might think I’ve been going to church and living my life for Jesus but it seems like all the unbelievers around me are more blest than I am. Well, if you’ve ever thought something like that you are not alone. There are many men who have thought that throughout the Bible but they don’t stay there. You have to remember that these earthly blessings are only temporary. We receive the best blessing of all, we get eternity with our Creator.</description>

                        <description>Jesus told us that where we lay up our treasures is where our heart will be also. A lot can be said about how we spend our money. It’s pretty easy to see what we value if we start to follow where our money goes. Is all your money spent on entertainment, or is it spent on trinkets, or do you just horde your money like a miser? If we love the Lord and our treasure is in Him then we will become a cheerful giver. It won’t be of a grudging effort, but we will love to bless others. </description>

			<title>MALACHI, PART 5</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>What do you think repentance looks like? When you think of repentance, do you think of crying, sadness and remorse? Is it purely emotional or does there have to be more? The Bible tells us that if what we call repentance is just a show of emotion it isn’t repentance at all. God tells us through the prophet Joel that He wants our hearts torn, not just our clothes. God doesn’t just want some outward performance. This is the same call He’s giving Israel in our study in Malachi, a call to “True Repentance”. </description>

                        <description>What is the motivation of your heart when you come to church? Is it just because you’ve always done it? If that’s your motivation, if you’re coming to church just because it’s something you do that’s part of your routine, then that is empty worship. There is no substance to your relationship with God, you are just going through the motions. You may not be living some seemingly outrageous life of sin but if your heart isn’t in your worship, it is worthless. </description>

                        <description>What kind of impact are you having in your family, in your circle of friends, in your workplace, in your community? Is there any? As Christians we are called to be salt and light in this world. That means we are supposed to make a difference, an effect, but you cannot make a difference if you’re living just like everyone else. Do people look to you and see a difference in your life because of Christ? Or have you simply faded into the background and look like just another person in the world?  </description>

                        <description>Has anyone come against you because of your faith? Made fun of you, maybe even screamed at you? If that’s something that’s bothered you in the past, there are a few things you ought to remember. First, we are in good company. Jesus himself was persecuted and countless saints followed His example. Also when anyone comes against God’s children He treats it as if they are coming against Him. You don’t need to say a word in defense because God is your defense against injustice.</description>

                        <description>Do you remember the last thing that the Lord spoke to you? Maybe God showed you a certain verse that really ministered to you. Maybe it was during a worship song. But if the last thing that God spoke to you was a strong rebuke and then you didn’t hear from Him for a period of time, it might make you concerned right?  That’s exactly what we see in that last book of the Old Testament, Malachi. Malachi comes to the Jewish people with a burden from the Lord, and then there isn’t another word from Him for 400 years.</description>

Some of us can find ourselves remembering the days where God had moved through us in pretty amazing ways, either though evangelism or time in His word. Sometimes it just feels like God is speaking right to you and right through you. Then there are times where you might not even feel His presence at all. Pastor David exhorts us today not to live looking backwards but to be anticipating God to do even greater things in you, if you let Him. </description>

The Bible tells us that God is so merciful that He wishes that none would perish and all would come to repentance. But sadly, we know that not everyone will accept God’s free gift of mercy. Even still, God will take all those who do accept His free gift and will bring restoration, not only spiritually but one day physically in the Millennial Kingdom. </description>

The Minor Prophets are a collection of small but very powerful prophetic books in the Old Testament. There are 12 different authors with varying backgrounds. Some were in a lineage of prophets, others were just fruit pickers and shepherds. Zephaniah was royalty. But what is truly amazing is that it didn’t matter where these men came from, God used them all and He wants to use you too. </description>

			<title>ZEPHANIAH, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>God’s knows those who are His children. The Bible tells us that He even has the hairs on our head numbered. The Bible also talks about a Day of Wrath that’s coming on the whole earth, so, what does that mean for us? Just like God protected Noah and his family from the flood. Just like God protected the nation of Israel from the plagues in Egypt. God will protect us from the wrath to come.  God has always been able to shield and protect his chosen remnant. He will do it again through the rapture. </description>

			<title>OBADIAH, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>What is our responsibility towards others as Christians? Can we just leave people alone and be morally neutral? No, Christ does not leave us room for that. Christians are called to actively treat others the way they would want to be treated. As we continue our study in Obadiah we see that this is a principle that God teaches throughout His Word. But it also works the other way. You will reap what you sow and just like Edom sowed wickedness against Judah, that’s exactly what they would reap. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We’ve all heard people say, “Pride goes before a fall”. And the book of Proverbs agrees when it says “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall”. So, if pride is so destructive, you would think more people would run from it. The trouble is that pride is not only destructive but it’s deceiving. That’s exactly where the nation of Edom was during the time of the book of Obadiah. Edom was blinded by pride and they couldn’t even see that they were going to be destroyed. </description>

                        <description>Sometimes this world just looks like its going straight down the drain. Wars, diseases, murders, atrocities. It all seems very bleak. It was pretty bleak in the time of the prophet Joel too, but Joel had an unwelcome message. “It’s going to get worse.” We live in something called “The Last Days” but there is a day coming, “The Day of The Lord” which will make all these hardships pale in comparison. Thankfully for the Christian God’s mercy will shield us from that day, but how about those around you? </description>

Well, as we continue our study in Joel, things have gotten pretty bad for Judah. The prophet was calling the people to repent as their nation was on the verge of destruction.

As we finish our study in Amos, we see the importance of being a light to those around us so they can know what God truly is like. </description>

Instead of putting their trust in the Almighty God they put their trust in lesser things. </itunes:summary>

                        <description>Have you been ignoring what God has been saying to you? It may seem like there aren’t any consequences to ignoring God’s word but eventually the consequences will catch up to you. In our study today in the book of Amos, we learn that both Judah and Israel are having to learn the hard way that not listening to God results in destruction and bondage. God desires for us to have life so why would we ignore Him? Don’t learn the hard way. Repent and obey what He is telling you now. </description>

                        <description>What happens when a nation forsakes its heritage? Well, when it comes to the nation of Judah in the book of Amos the result is judgment. Even though Judah was privileged and given the law and the prophets, they were God’s special people, they still rejected what they were given. As we join Pastor David today, we will see the result of Judah’s rejection and the parallels that can be drawn to our own nation. What do we risk in this nation by rejecting our Christian heritage?</description>

                        <description>Does it ever look to you like those who are rewarded and do well in life are people living a life contrary to the word of God? Is God really blessing their disobedience to Him? As we join Pastor David today in the book of Amos, we see that many of the wicked nations around Judah were living in what seemed like prosperity. But just because God hadn’t brought judgment on their wickedness yet, didn’t mean He wasn’t going to. God will not be mocked. You will reap what you sow.</description>

                        <description>What is God’s greatest desire for us here on this earth? He desires for us to know Him, to worship Him, and to enjoy Him. We do not worship an impersonal god, He is not some distant cosmic force. No, we were told in the bible that He is near and personal. As we finish up our study in the book of Hosea today, we see the deeply personal relationship that God has not only for His people Israel but also for us. So, let’s stand today and like Israel say, “What have we to do with idols?” </description>

                        <description>What happens when seed is planted on hard ground?  Chances are nothing happens. Either the seed will be trampled or eaten by some animals, nothing grows on hard ground. Jesus explained this same principles to us in the “Parable of the Sower”, the hard ground yielded nothing. In that parable the hard ground represented a heart that was unprepared for the word of God. So, how is your heart? Is it hardened by the things of this world? Have you become jaded?

                        <description>If you’ve been in church for any length of time, you may have heard the word 'Revival'. But just what does that word mean? If you put the word revival after the name of a meeting does it make it a revival? Is it just a title? No. Revivals are much more! There are special times in history where God moves mightily in the hearts of His people and en masse draws them back to Him. So, how do revivals start or do they have anything in common? Yes! They all start when individuals realize their desperate need for God. </description>

We examine the prophecies about the Lord withdrawing His hand from His people. This shows us today as a nation that if we continue to turn our back on Him, He will remove His hand from us. This should make us shudder and get on our knees in prayer. We continue to be encouraged throughout this teaching, however, so listen in for more.</description>

Hosea had huge things come up against him and he remained obedient to the Lord. You are asked today, “How big is your God?” Surely we all have battles come up against us. They could be financial, medical, emotional, family or job related. There are so many big problems we will face in this world. The question is, “Is your God bigger? Is your faith bigger than your problem?</description>

You are asked today, “How big is your God?” Surely we all have battles come up against us. They could be financial, medical, emotional, family or job related. There are so many big problems we will face in this world. The question is, “Is your God bigger? Is your faith bigger than your problem?</itunes:subtitle>

			<title>HOSEA, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>You may be out there listening today and be feeling down about not having converted anyone to the Lord. Maybe you’re thinking that you’re ineffective at sharing Jesus. In our study we’re starting on the Minor Prophets. Pastor David talks about Jeremiah, he’s was a pretty major prophet, however he didn’t know in his lifetime what his work did for the Lord. He never got to see the fruits of his labor but we know that they were great fruits. Let that encourage you to keep on in your sharing.</description>

			<title>SILENCE OF THE TOMB, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When viewing the universe with the understanding that God made ALL things.  It’s easy to believe that He is capable of anything, from creating something from nothing, to restoring the sight of the blind.  These are truly nothing short of miraculous, but for some people the one miracle that’s hardest to believe is the Resurrection.  In today’s message Pastor David reflects on the power of God and how it affects us individually.  We learn that it’s the same power that raised Christ from the dead that breathes new life into each and every one of us.  Well let’s join Pastor David in the book of 1 Kings Chapter 17:22, with his continuing study entitled “Silence of the Tomb”. </description>

Joseph was a part of the Sanhedrin, which was a very strict Jewish religious organization. If they found out that Joseph was a Christian he would have been kicked out and maybe even killed. Joseph had to use wisdom as to who he would share this with and when he would share Christ. Chances are your don’t live in an area where you will be persecuted and killed for Jesus so are you preaching Christ in your sphere of influence?</description>

                        <description>Today Pastor David will be teaching on the character and life of Mary Magdalene and her devotion to the Savior. Mary’s life could be summed up in one word - surrender. Her life was wholly and completely surrendered to Jesus Christ. She was filled with numerous demons and her life was dedicated to darkness before Christ. Once Jesus healed her of the demons then she clung to Jesus and never let go of Him. What word defines your character now that you’re saved?</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>One of the main characteristics of the prophet Amos, that all believers should imitate, is Amos’ intimate relationship with the Lord. Since Amos was close to the Lord and meditated on His word, he was able to have a steadfast, proper, Biblical worldview. As you spend time communing with the Lord in prayer and in His word, you will naturally have your mind renewed. The moment you become distracted from the Lord you will begin to backslide into the mold of the world.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As we look at the life of Samson there are many attributes that we as believers should steer clear from. Samson’s pride and lust got the better of him and was the reason for his undoing. During the beginning of Samson’s life the Lord allowed him to have tremendous strength to do the Lord’s work, but Samson got pumped up with pride. When you have great spiritual experiences with the Lord and you’re strong and growing, that doesn’t mean you should grow complacent in abiding with Him.</description>

			<title>JOHN, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The Bible says that those who persevere to the end will be saved. This is true of the Apostle John. We know that John started off being extremely selfish and proud, yet at the end of his life he wrote the Book of Revelation and was known as the Apostle of Love. The life of John should be a comfort to all believers because we can all be selfish and are currently being transformed. Pastor David says it’s not about where you once were with the Lord, it’s about where you are now.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>When we look at the early years of John the Apostle, he was known as one of the sons of thunder. He had a severe temper and was very proud. When the Samaritans didn’t welcome him he wanted to call down fire from heaven and torch them. It was John that had the pride and selfishness to ask Christ to allow him to sit at His right hand in the Kingdom. Even though John was a son of thunder, Christ transformed him into the Apostle of Love. Allow Jesus’ transforming power to work in you as well.</description>

                        <description>Those of you who think you’re strong, take heed lest you fall. Peter said that if everyone else would deny Christ, he would never deny Him. Yet Peter was the one who denied Christ three times. However, Peter was a man that learned from his mistakes and he became a mighty man of God. Just as Jesus Christ changed Peter from impetuous and impulsive to bold and faithful, the Lord wants to do the same in your life. What weaknesses do you have?

                        <description>Are you willing to decrease so that God may increase in your life? Many believers like glory for themselves rather than giving it up to God. Pastor David will show you today how God still does signs and wonders in order to draw unbelievers to Himself. Unfortunately many believers think that when there is a work of God it’s because of their own efforts and strengths. If you’ve been given spiritual gifts, it is because of God’s grace, not because of anything special about you or your efforts.</description>

                        <description>When you go throughout your day do you think about how all you do should be for the purpose of glorifying God? Pastor David will be teaching through Romans about glorifying God. The Apostle Paul is saying in this text that there are many ways you can glorify Him. They only way you can glorify God is if you hold fast to the hope of God. Eternity stands before you, He is the God of hope. So when you get hindered or discouraged about glorifying God, focus on hope and receive joy.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Have you ever allowed your personal opinions to get in-between your relationship with other believers? Pastor David will be showing you how God desires your love for Him and for others rather than how holy you appear to be. Jesus said, “and this is how the world will know you are My disciples, by the love you have for one another.”  Encourage other believers to live for the Lord, but don’t force feed your opinions on them. Make disciples of Jesus, not disciples after yourself.</description>

			<title>THE TRANSFORMED LIFE, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Join us today as Pastor David shares with us the importance of cooperating with the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Paul is pleading with you as a believer to live a life worthy of the calling that God has placed on your life. Are you living a sacrificial life for the Lord, or are you living for yourself? Living a transformed and holy life is not so that you can be saved. Living a transformed life proves that you’ve genuinely received Christ in your heart. Choose to obey God rather than the flesh.

Does the clay say to Him who forms it, “What are you making?”. The Lord can mold and shape you however He wills. Will you rebel against Him or will you cooperate with the Holy Spirit Who is doing a work in you? God wants to make you into the vessel He has purposed to mold you to be. There is a reason for the marring and trials of life so just trust in the Lord’s ways.

God was always faithful to the children of Israel the same way He is faithful to you.

We’re now under new ownership because Christ paid the price to bring us out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light. It’s not the keeping of the law that changes us. It’s the love of Christ that changes us. It’s the drawing to Christ where we are strengthened. </description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Pastor David continues to teach us through Romans, he will teach us that the wages of sin is death. This is a spiritual death, a death of harmonious fellowship with our Father. As a believer we’re covered by the grace of God. We are His children, but if we walk in deliberate sin, the fellowship becomes distant. The closeness and the sweetness of the Holy Spirit in your life is distant as well. We as believers can experience the power of God and that closeness of communion; so, why choose sin?</description>

			<title>THE PRACTICE OF SANCTIFICATION, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As we continue through the book of Romans, Pastor David will be teaching us the dangers of taking God’s grace for granted. The Apostle Paul says, ‘because we have the grace of God should we continue in sin? Certainly not! The sign of a genuine believer is that they’re no longer a slave to sin, but are a slave to righteousness. Pastor David will teach us that sin no longer has dominion over us, so if we sin it’s because we choose to. We can no longer fall into sin; we walk into it!</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Pastor David continues his message on sanctification he will be teaching us the importance of our cooperation with the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The more we walk in obedience the stronger we become as believers. If you’re saying to yourself, “I’m not very strong as a believer”, you must ask yourself if you are obedient, even in the small things. If you’re not obedient in the small things you’ll never gain strength and grow to live a life that’s victorious in Christ.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Pastor David continues taking us through the book of Romans, we will learn that just as God tested Abraham’s faith the Lord will test our faith as well. When God tests our faith we become more dependent on Him rather than on ourselves. When Peter kept his eyes focused on Jesus he had faith to walk on water, but as soon as Peter took his focus off the Lord and focused on the storm, he began to sink. We must have faith in God’s character and keep our eyes fixed on Him.</description>

			<title>JUSTIFIED FREELY, PART1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David will be sharing with us the importance of understanding you’re freely justified. Justified means that when I stand before God it is just as if I never sinned. We receive this justification by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. There’s nothing we can do to earn our way into heaven. When we understand justification we obey God because we want to show love and appreciation for the free gift of salvation that He’s offered us. It is a joy, not a chore, to obey.</description>

			<title>NOT ENOUGH, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As Pastor David continues through the book of Romans we will learn that it is useless to try and follow rules and regulations apart from abiding in Christ. It must be a matter of the heart, not outward knowledge or guidelines set by a church. When coming to Christ the Holy Spirit dwells within us and convicts us. Unless we’re spending intimate time with the Lord we will miss out on His guidance. The Lord gives us the power and ability to be able to follow Him. Apart from Him you can do nothing.</description>

			<title>INEXCUSABLE, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Scripture gives us many examples of people who won’t take responsibility for themselves. People like Cain and Esau, who shake their fists at God and say, ‘If you’d only changed me’. The Bible warns us that behavior is inexcusable. We’ve been told that we’re sinful and that our sin has been covered. We’re in no position to argue the Cross and God’s authority over us. We’re saved through faith, not of works, but our works should show that we are saved, and because we love Jesus.</description>

You see sin is sin, we’ll all destined for Hell, but we’ve been washed, because of Jesus we were sanctified and justified. God gave them up to their own devices, directions and will.

                        <description>Throughout the Bible there are many examples of how God gives up. It’s never the way that you and I give up. He gives up when man continues to turn from Him. He reveals Himself to man, and man rejects that revealing and God gives up, but not the way that we give up. We give up because we get tired, run out of resources, or get frustrated. He says ‘enough is enough’. An example of God giving up is when He brought judgment on Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrah. God leaves them to their own self-destruction.</description>

                        <description>God loves us. It is His desire that we would all recognize our sin and turn to Him. That’s why He sent His Son. Jesus came so we would have a way to be cleansed of our sin. He bled and died so we could be forgiven and restored into a right relationship with our Creator. But we have a choice in the matter, we can choose to accept Jesus, admit our sin and turn and follow Him. Or we can reject God, reject His Son and reject His word. Doing so will lead to eternal separation from Him.</description>

                        <description>Today in our time of study we’ll be reminded that repentance is key in the life of a believer. First, and foremost, in order to be saved we need to have a humble heart of repentance, one that is ready to turn away from sin and follow after the ways of God. But repentance doesn’t stop there, you see in this walk of faith, God will continue to reveal sin. He is faithful to continue and complete the work He has begun in us, but we have to be willing to recognize our sin, confess and repent.</description>

                        <description>In today’s message Pastor David will give us an exhortation to be an example. You see, as believers, we’re called to share the truth of the Gospel with others. While sharing the Word is a great way to do that, there are also other ways to share the Good News. One of the best ways is by example. As we live our lives committed to the truth people should be able to see God’s grace and work in us. They should be able to see what it looks like to live as a child of God, and it should be our heart that they desire what we have.</description>

The reason for that is often due to the fact they are embarrassed or ashamed to share with others. They aren’t willing to put themselves out there because they fear man more than God.</description>

			<title>SINNERS, SLAVES YET SAINTS, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As we continue Sinners, Slaves yet Saints we see that Paul understood what it meant to give up everything and be fully submitted to the Lord’s will in his life. We know that often the world will offer us grace and peace, but of course at a price. Grace and peace that come from the Lord are free flowing and are attainable through full submission. This means making changes in our lives. Pastor David describes the grace and peace Paul speaks of in his greeting illustrating how slaves become saints.</description>

			<title>SINNERS, SLAVES YET SAINTS, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Paul writes a very pointed letter to the Romans, little did he know that even today we would still be benefitting from the truths he shared. Paul understood the depth and meaning of what a slave is. We’ll see the analogy he used of a bondservant as an example of how we should be as Christians today, fully and voluntarily surrendered to our Lord’s will over our own. We are sinners, we are slaves, and yet we are saint. Listen to hear how all three of these come together.</description>

			<title>THE GOLD MINE, ROMANS INTRO, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We now continue our gold mine tour of the book of Romans. The next gold nugget we’ll be examining is the Roman road. This is a guided tour through scriptures that point out our need for salvation. It highlights how we all fall short of the glory of God, how God demonstrated His love for us in the gift He gave and the price He paid, and tells how we can be saved. We also see that true repentance leads to a life filled with fruit, reminding us that being a silent witness won’t lead others to Christ.</description>

                        <description>In this introduction to Romans we’ll be taking a tour of the greatest gold mine known to man. Examining gold nuggets, such as the depth of our faith, the sinner’s prayer, and the on-going work of God in our lives. We’ll look at Martin Luther’s experience with the book of Romans and the birth of the Protestant Reformation. The book of Romans has been a gold mine to believers from the time it was written, and still remains a monumental producer of invaluable nuggets today.</description>

			<title>LONG RANGE WARFARE, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Jesus encourages us in His word to pray always, not just when it’s convenient, not when we have time, but always, staying in constant communion with the Lord. It is a long range weapon of warfare. Throughout the Bible are examples of saints who prayed, saints who realized this is a spiritual battle and are armed with a dangerous weapon. Pray so that you may be counted worthy in His sight, pray for yourself and for those around the world.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David vividly illustrates how prayer is the Christian’s long range weapon of warfare. In his past teachings he’s spoken about the full armor of God and how useful it is for hand to hand combat. Well you’re also armed with a weapon that can be used around the world from the comforts of wherever you are. If you are able to pray, to pray for people in other countries, such as Pastor Saeed, our prayers are the drones of spiritual warfare. Even from a distance you can make a difference.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Here in Ephesians Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God that we can withstand the devil. He says to gird ourselves with truth, to put on the breastplate of righteousness, shod our feet with the Gospel and have the shield of faith. We need all this as preparation, we can’t go into battle with the devil not knowing God’s word. Having it hidden in our hearts is what will protect us. Being able to recall it when we need it can be what saves us from a fiery dart, just like Jesus did</description>

                        <description>In today’s message we hear a speech General Patton gave as preparation for the allied invasion of France. The speech was to mentally prepare the soldiers for what was ahead. A warrior unprepared puts himself and those around him at risk. Likewise we need the word of God as our preparation for the battles that are ahead of us. When we hide God’s word in our hearts we put on the full armor of God, making us able to fight off the fiery darts of the enemy’s attack.</description>

                        <description>We’d be fools to walk into a battle unarmed, wouldn’t we? We would never go to the front line without some sort of armor or weapon. Well, we are in a battle, though our battle is not of this world. It’s a spiritual battle of principalities and powers. It’s against the devil who has a well laid out plan against us. He is skilled and cunning in deceit, trying to slander the name of the Lord. This is why we need the full armor of God. It’s God’s battle and He will have the victory.</description>

			<title>THE DIVINE ORDER, PART4</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>This divine order that the Lord gave us helps us in our everyday roles. It’s there specifically to help us bring glory to God. Pastor David points out that holding up our end of this role never depends on the other people involved. For example, when Paul says “to do all as unto the Lord”, he doesn’t say “if you have a good boss”. You’re to do it regardless. If we aren’t fulfilling our duties in the divine order then we’re failing to be a good witness to those around us, thus Satan wins in that battle.</description>

			<title>THE DIVINE ORDER, PART 3</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In our last teaching we saw the relationship guidelines for men and women as husbands and wives. As we continue we move on into parent/child relationships. We know that children are to obey their parents. Pastor David talks about the biblical guidelines for parents. We need to show our children grace, humility, and forgiveness. Our example while in the home will teach them how to act when grown. Letting them fail and teaching them how to handle it is also good for their growth.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As we continue on in our teaching about the divine order, we’re shown the example that Christ gave us. You see, it’s hard to submit to or trust someone who isn’t “all in”. But Christ showed us He was “all in” by the cross. He was committed to the plan and the purpose that God had in His life. So we should be committed to each other by this example. Favoring one another, not just in marriage, but in the Body as well. By doing this we will declare the glory of the Lord to the world around us.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The divine order is laid out in today’s teaching. It starts back in Genesis showing male and female were to have dominion over the earth. The family order is for children to obey their parents and the head of woman is man and the head of man is Christ. These roles were given to us so that we would have order. They aren’t given to us, as some might think, to torture us. When we follow these directives with a willing heart, the peace and blessings that come are amazing.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>It’s when we’re filled with the Spirit that our focus is turned to those things of God’s Kingdom. We’re no longer overwhelmed or weighed down by the cares of this world. We are no longer distracted by the attractions of this world. We find ourselves Spirit minded, living a life of thanksgiving and praise. Pastor David points out we can’t be simultaneously worldly and Spirit filled, but we can walk with the assurance of the work of God in our lives.</description>

As Christians we’re aware there are dangers out there, but are we being diligent and cautious about it? Are we being sure to not walk around with blinders on? What does our walk show about us? Does it show wisdom and discernment or foolishness and darkness? Over time we make ourselves patterns we can follow. It’s time to examine those patterns and make sure they are pointing our walk towards righteousness.</description>

			<title>DANCING WITH THE FATHER, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In this teaching we see a list of thoughts and actions we should put off. We should put on the new man, the one that is led by the Spirit. We need to stop acting like the unsaved and start acting like Christ. Dancing with the Father is our example of how to live. However, we need to be making the right choices so that we are close enough to Him to hear His voice. Being close to God is how we learn the fruits of the Spirit and how to walk in truth.</description>

                        <description>Paul likens our walk with Christ to dancing and walking. A good dancer mimics the moves of their partner and they flow gracefully together. As for walking, we used to walk in our dead trespasses but we were created for good works, and we are to walk in them. We are no longer to walk in the futility of our minds, we are to walk carefully and diligently. We are to imitate God and walk rightly because our walk is watched by those who are lost.</description>

                        <description>The Lord has sealed us with the promise of the Spirit in our hearts. We have the guarantee of our salvation and that He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it. Careful though, we can still grieve the Holy Spirit when we trifle with sin, or allow the devil to have his way with us. With acts of commission and omission, doing things we shouldn’t and not doing things we should. Thankfully, and in spite of us, the promise the Lord has made will not be broken.</description>

They have a blindness in their heart of their need to come to God and the coming judgment from God. So much so that they become numb to any type of godly morality, they don’t have any type of biblical world view. Sadly there are still Christians that don’t have a biblical world view either! The good news is that we can put off the old man and put on the new man.</description>

                        <description>Pastor David wants us to realize that even though we are one Body, we are all individual members, and even though we are individual members we all work together as a Body. Just as with an actual physical body, the hand or knee can’t survive on its own, so we can’t survive without the Body of Christ. God has called us to be a member of His Body for an effective, powerful and individual purpose. What aspect of Christ are you displaying within His Body?</description>

                        <description>We are called to have unity but still be individuals in our purpose, calling and gifts. These gifts are for a distinct purpose from the Lord however WE should not be our main focus. He brought us together not for ourselves, but for the greater glory of Him, and to impact the lost world around us. This sometimes pushes us out of our comfort zone, like when iron sharpens iron. We have the tendency to stay away from this because of the friction it creates, but it is so needed.</description>

			<title>PREPARATION FOR MISSION, PART 4</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>As the Body of Christ we need a firm rudder to keep us on track. The Lord has given us pastors to do just that. They watch over us to be sure we press on to maturity. Natural growth progression should be from milk to meat. Instead of being like babes and comparing ourselves to others, our measurement standard should be Christ. Pastor David points out that our growth directly correlates to our ability to speak the truth in love. The pastor has his work cut out for him, keeping us on track to grow up.</description>

                        <description>In this message Pastor David talks about the gift of being a pastor. All throughout the Bible we’re likened to sheep which have the tendency to go astray. The pastor’s job is to protect and take care of the sheep, and that protection is to be based upon the word of God, being taught so we are guarded from false doctrine. We’re to be challenged in our personal walk. It is the pastors who are following the Spirit and word of God that will nourish and protect the sheep.</description>

                        <description>In our lesson today we’ll be reminded we’re here on this earth for a reason. We’ve been given a purpose, we’ve been called to proclaim the truth of God’s word. What we must understand is this is supposed to be the work of our Heavenly Father. It’s not us working in our own strength, it’s actually Him working in and through us. But that requires us dying to our own agendas, goals, opinions and ideas. It means that we submit to our Father and allow Him to lead us in His ministry.</description>

                        <description>Because of the sin in the garden, we’ve all been infected with a disease. No one is immune from it. We’ve all inherited it, it’s an illness passed down from Adam. It’s sin! We are all born as sinners, no one can claim to be without sin. And to go a step further, there’s no one that can cleanse themselves of their sin. That’s why Jesus came. It’s because of what He did we can be set free and healed of our sin. All we must do is accept Him as our Savior, we must believe.</description>

                        <description>There are many churches in the world today, there are countless doctrines, so which one is right? What we need to understand is we can’t look to a church, or to a body of believers and expect them to be the standard for right living. There really is only one truth, only one standard, and that is the word of God. So don’t worry about what other churches are doing, ask yourself if what you believe lines up with what God says. In Him is where we find true unity.</description>

But how can that happen when we have so many different personalities, characteristics, talents, and ideas? Well, it’s simple really, the only way we can come together is by submitting to our Head, which is God. We can’t find unity in anything other than the truth. When we become unified based on man’s ideas or goals, we’ll eventually fail. But when we’re unified in God’s word, He’ll be able to use us mightily.</description>

                        <description>The Scripture is clear, it’s by grace through faith that we’re saved. It’s a gift of God, one that we can’t boast in. What we need to understand is there is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. It truly is a free gift, and once we receive it we’re not to go backwards and rely on our flesh to guide us. Instead we need to rely on the Spirit of God, we need to be empowered by His grace. We need to allow Him to lead us, and as we do so we will begin to walk in the good works that God has prepared for us.</description>

			<title>A TRUE SUCCESS, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In the Gospel of Mark we read, “For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his own soul?” This verse vividly expresses the point of today’s teaching. You see it doesn’t matter what this world has to offer us; fame, wealth or notoriety, none of it means anything if you lose your soul. That’s why we can’t use these things as measurements of success. Success isn’t what we gain in this life, success is obtained when we submit to God and allow Him to rule and reign in our lives.</description>

			<title>A TRUE SUCCESS, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>In the world today the word “success” means you have arrived, you’ve made something of yourself. Perhaps you’ve earned notoriety, came into wealth, or accomplished major life goals. Well, none of these things equates “success” in the biblical sense. You see we can have all of these things and still be lost. The bottom line is that in order to succeed in this life you must be born again. You can have all the success and fame this world has to offer, but if you die without Jesus, your soul is lost forever.</description>

			<title>THE PERSISTENCE OF HEAVEN'S HOUND, PART 2</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>The common theme throughout the Bible is that God loves us, and it’s His heart that we would all come to faith in Jesus and be saved.  But God is a gentlemen and He will never force someone to follow Him. We’ve all been given a free will to choose, He stands at the door and knocks. He gives us opportunities to confess and repent, but the ball is in our court. We have to decide whether we’ll live for ourselves or we’ll choose to follow after the ways of God.</description>

We need to be willing to bend. As believers, God is using every situation and circumstance in our lives to mold us, to make us into the disciples that He’s calling us to be. </description>

                        <description>In our message today we’ll be reminded that we live in a fallen world. We live in a time when good is called evil and evil is called good. Everyone lives according to their own fleshly understanding and no one regards the ways of God. But as believers, even in the midst of all this chaos, we can have peace, we can have true joy. These are things that can only come from having a relationship with the Creator, they can only come from being born again.</description>

There’s so many things that distract us from spending time with God, so many things that get in the way of us walking according to His ways. Instead we’re driven by man-made wisdom and understanding. But believer, we can’t allow that to happen! We need to seek our Heavenly Father, we need to pray that He reveals those things in our lives that are keeping us from following Him.

			<title>AN EFFECTIVE GRACE, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>It’s been said before but it’s still true today, we’re saved by grace through faith alone. Understand that salvation is a free gift from God. He sent His only Son to this earth so that we wouldn’t have to pay the penalty for our sin. So why then do we think that our salvation is summed up with grace plus works? It’s not! Our works will never save us. However, the Bible does teach us that we were created in Christ Jesus for good works that God has prepared for us to walk in.</description>

                        <description>In today’s message we’ll be reminded life is only a vapor. We’re here today and gone tomorrow. Understand that no one is promised their next breath. All we have is right now. As believers in the God of the Bible, we’re to live our lives for for Him. So take advantage of the time you’re given, take hold of the opportunities presented to you, be bold. Step out in faith, share the gospel, be the hands and feet of God. Hear His voice and walk in obedience to it.</description>

It doesn’t matter what we do or don’t do, our works will never enable us to enter the Kingdom. They will never make us right with God. It’s only through the shed blood of Jesus that we can be saved. But does that mean that works aren’t important? Certainly not! The Scriptures also teach us that faith without works is dead.</description>

                        <description>As believers it’s easy to get complacent and comfortable in our walk with God. Sometimes we even get so comfortable that we’re no longer growing or maturing in our relationship with Christ. God wants us to keep pressing forward for Jesus. If we look back at our life we will see just how much Jesus has done and sacrificed for us. He gave His all so that all who would believe in Him would have eternal life. As His followers it will also take our all to live for Him.</description>

                        <description>Sin separates us from God and there’s nothing we can do on our own to earn forgiveness for our sins and for the salvation for our soul. Even the best effort of any good person won’t ever measure up to what God requires to be deemed right in his sight. His ways are higher than ours, and His thoughts are not like ours. Out of His love and mercy to the people He created, He Himself provided the only way to be reconciled to Himself, through Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross, in Whom we can be made righteous before God.</description>

                        <description>When we accept Jesus as our Savior we become a new creation, old things are passed away. We’re no longer to do things in our old sinful and fleshly nature. Instead we are to walk by grace in the path God has paved for us. We become a part of the Body, we become a part of the one new Man in Messiah, and as a part of His Body we are called to be a part of the ministry. We are called to serve God and others, we’re called to proclaim the truth, in love.</description>

One of the key points that we’ll be able to take away is that Jesus is THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. It’s by His shed blood we can be cleansed and forgiven. It’s because of what He has done that we can be made righteous, because of His loving example that we can know how to walk as believers. It’s because of His sacrifice that we can now come in faith boldly before the throne of grace.</description>

                        <description>In our lesson today we’ll learn that in order to follow Jesus we need to lay down our own preconceived ideas and notions. We need to set aside our goals and our ambitions. Why is that? It’s because we’ve been bought with a price and are no longer our own. We’ve been saved and set free, but not to live our lives as we choose. We’re to submit to God and follow His ways. His ways are not burdensome, they are a delight. There are blessings to be received for those who follow God’s ways.</description>

                        <description>If you’re a believer in the Lord, then He has given you spiritual wings. His desire is that we would live our lives with abandon, reaching out to others and jumping wholeheartedly into following His plans for us. The Lord is always working out His plans for His glory and we are all a part of that. His intention is not for us to sit on the sidelines, cheering on others as they do the work of the Lord. Experience the fullness of God’s powerful leading in your life. Get out there!</description>

Martha and Mary believed that Jesus could heal Lazarus and they wondered why He hadn’t come. Well, the Lord has a plan for us and He can use any situation to bring us to the place that He wants us to be even if we can’t see it ourselves. Whether it’s a broken relationship or a financial hardship, His purpose is to draw us nearer to Him, refining us in ways that are beyond our limited comprehension.</description>

                        <description>We are often confronted with choices, but one choice overshadows them all. The choice to leave our flesh behind and commit to a life following Jesus. What we don’t often spend much time contemplating is the choice of our God. He chose to predestine us through adoption to be His people. His love and compassion has made a way for us to leave our old selves behind, to be re-born in Him. So live your life in such a way that represents a chosen child of God, a light of His love for all to see.</description>

                        <description>It may seem that predestination and free will couldn’t possibly coexist, but they are both scriptural concepts. How then can we reconcile both of these ideas? They both have different purposes and can be found in a multitude of verses. God’s plans from the past along with our choices in the present, the outcomes for the future all have a balance concerning predestination and a choice. Although difficult, we will be stronger as believers when we can come to understand these principles.</description>

                        <description>Often the things the world considers blessings are often counterproductive to having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Chasing after personal achievements, money, fame, relationships, it’s all vanity. To really know Him believers must rid themselves of all the idols and clutter that can accumulate in our hearts. Don’t leave any room for the junk of this world, it’s all temporary. When it eventually falls away, what will be left? Fill your heart with the Lord and you will see eternity.</description>

                        <description>In the race of life, what are you running towards? Are you stopping along the way to enjoy financial success or to pursue a worldly goal? If you’ve committed your life to Jesus then your goal should be obedience. If you’re in obedience you won’t veer off track. For some a minor diversion can lead to abandonment of the goal altogether. Enduring in this world while living a righteous life can be exhausting, but in the end nothing will matter but what you’ve achieved for Him.</description>

If you’ve committed your life to Jesus then your goal should be obedience. If you’re in obedience you won’t veer off track. For some a minor diversion can lead to abandonment of the goal altogether. Enduring in this world while living a righteous life can be exhausting, but in the end nothing will matter but what you’ve achieved for Him.</itunes:summary>

			<title>EPHESIANS, AN INTRODUCTION, PART 1</title>

                        <description>Have you ever heard someone quote the words, “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me”? Perhaps you’ve said them yourself. When Paul spoke those words he was in prison. When you seek the Lord for His will to be done, make sure it is with the understanding that He will put you where He needs you. If His will takes you out of your comfort zone, you’ll still find joy. He provides a “peace that passes all understanding” and fills the hearts of those that believe in Him.</description>

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>We all have friends and family that have not turned their lives over to Jesus. For some reason or another they refused to put their faith and trust in Him. But remember believer we are not to lose hope. If they are still above the ground and breathing there is still time. So be diligent in sharing the truth with them and love. The best way to do that is live it out in your own life. Apply the word of God to your heart. Allow His work of grace to produce good fruit for all to see.</description>

                        <description>The scriptures teach us that our heavenly Father is powerful and mighty. He goes before us. He is our shield and our ever present help in time of need. He is given us His word.  He is given us His commandments. And while keeping them does not save us, they are still good for us. When we abide by the word of God and when we walk with His commandments, we are protected. We receive blessings. So, why wouldn’t you want to do what He says?

                        <description>It’s easy to watch the news and become discouraged. It seems that no matter where we turn there’s bad news, murders, wars, people dying, starvation. When we see these things it’s not hard to begin questioning God, “Why are You allowing these things to happen, God?” Today we’ll learn that God cannot be blamed for the terrible things that take place in this world. In fact, those that are and will continue to reject God are the ones to be blamed, those choosing to walk in opposition to God’s word.</description>

Make sure that hold everything you see and hear up to the word of God. If it lines up it’s of Him. If it doesn’t it’s from the enemy. </description>

			<title>MULTIPLIED BLESSINGS, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Oftentimes the God of the Bible is made out to be an ogre or an unreasonable tyrant. He is thought to be a God who’s cold and unloving but that’s not the case.

                        <description>In today’s message we will be reminded that we need to walk by faith. Sure, we’ve been saved by grace through faith and not by our works. But what happens after we’ve been saved? Does your walk of faith stop there? Certainly not! Believer it’s just started. Each and every moment we’re given a choice. We can choose to submit to God, trusting in His understanding, walking by faith or we can choose to trust our own wisdom and walk according the flesh.</description>

Just look at Noah, imagine the ridicule he endured while he constructed the Ark. Then take a look at Jesus He was mocked, rejected, beaten, and eventually killed. So believer, when you are taunted, teased and harassed when you make a stand for the name Jesus, don’t be discouraged. Understand that God is in control. Submit to Him.

			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>At Christmastime we spend a lot of time picking out the perfect gift for the ones we care for. It’s purchased, wrapped and placed under the tree waiting to be opened by those we love. Wouldn’t it be crazy if they handed it back to us saying they would open it later?! We know it’s something they really need and by now, so do they. Well, this is what’s happening with God’s Gift. At this point it has nothing to do with knowledge or faith, but instead allowing hearts to be changed by the reality of truth in the Gift. </description>

                        <description>Today we take a look at the first Christmas. We learn that things haven’t changed much since then. During that time, Bethlehem was a major hub for travel, crowded with chaos and people needing to connect with family. As the story goes, our Savior, our Gift, was born in a stable because the local inns were all sold out. We’re distracted now more than ever. We need to stop the busyness to realize the greatness of the Gift that we’ve been given, making this really the “most wonderful time of the year”.</description>

And we question as we hear the lyrics, “Where has all the happy gone?” Times haven’t changed since the blest birth of Christ. It’s a familiar story in reality for us now as we find ourselves consumed by the urgent things in life instead of the important things.  Let’s remember the real reason for the season and find our happiness in the gift of Christ.    </description>

If our relationship with Jesus grows our focus begins to shift, making the world and its problems become less while Christ and His promises become more. This prepares us for when trouble comes so we can stand firm with quite confidence in the midst of chaos.

                        <description>The world can define peace but it doesn’t know peace. We’re a culture bent on excess in pursuit of filling that void in our lives, creating an environment for ourselves that is the exact opposite of what we pray. There’s nothing peaceful about the amount of energy it takes to sustain these lifestyles. We have the solution, requiring nothing but thankfulness, prayer and faith on our part. If we trust God in everything, we will have an authentic peace exceeding what we try to manufacture ourselves. </description>

			<title>NOT ENOUGH, PART 1</title>
			<itunes:author>Pastor David Landry</itunes:author>
                        <description>Pastor David will be teaching us about the importance of sincerity and not allowing ourselves to be caught up in empty ceremonies and rituals. God is not pleased with meaningless actions. God want us to obey out of a genuine heart that loves Him. The Lord desires obedience and not sacrifice. Pastor David will also be warning us not to allow knowledge to puff us up. We must guard ourselves from only having head knowledge, and to be doers of the word and not hearers only.</description>
