In this episode we look at the account of Paul getting bit by the poisonous serpent while shipwrecked on the island of Melita. We look at how it happened and what the initial reaction of the natives were. We see how we see the same reaction from people in the world today. We then see how Paul's survival and his power over the serpent shows us the power that we have over the enemy and his attacks. It shows us the power of the Gospel to overcome all opposition in this world. We then look more closely at just what our power over the serpent means for us today and how God preserved Paul that day for a reason. He was going to go on and accomplish important and amazing things for the Kingdom and God is preserving us today for the great things He has ahead for us!

In this episode we look at the very first mention of love in the Bible and we see how that foundation set the tone for how love would be understood throughout scripture. We see the love of God on full display on Calvary and we see how God’s love influences our lives. We also look at His command for us to live in love and the even more difficult command to love our enemies. As we live in love we point the world around us to the God we serve, the God who is love!

In this episode we look at the prayer of Jabez buried deep within a long genaeology and see why it matters for us today. We look at the context in which he prayed and in which people would be reading his prayer. We also look at how it points us to God’s success principle. We then look at the prayer itself and go through the four elements of it. We see how he desired to be blessed, how he desired God to enlarge his coast, how he wanted God’s hand to be upon him and how he desired God to keep him from evil. If God did that for Jabez, He can and will do the same for us today! We’re called to be the Jabez of our generation!
