My friends, do you know that Heaven is God's will for you -- and why that is? If it is indeed His will for us, then we should understand why it is -- and what it is.
Moreover, we ought to fully understand what the Bible teaches us about Heaven and that is what this series is designed to do -- to give us biblical understanding of Heaven -- and preparation for it!
Friends, do you highly value what God values so highly -- Heaven? Do you know how much Scripture emphasizes Heaven? Do you have a biblical understanding -- a theology of Heaven?
This series is designed to faithfully, carefully open God's Word to us -- not with speculation -- but with biblical accuracy in the fear of the Lord -- so you can be confident in what the Bible teaches about our eternal home.
I'm so pleased to announce a brand-new, extensive study on what the Bible teaches about this vital doctrine -- Heaven: What It Is & Why It Matters Now.
It will air on my radio broadcasts in Africa, but I'm also making it available for everyone.
We are strictly studying what Scripture teaches; this will not involve alleged visitations to Heaven; it will not involve speculation.
Our charter from God is to study what His Word teaches and do our best to interpret His Word accurately.
May the Holy Spirit give you great understanding and change and transform you, for the glory of the Father and the Son!

A believer who understands his or her rich identity in Christ is unstoppable. But sadly, I find that not many believers know their identity in Christ- particularly in our subject for today - justification.
What is justification? How does knowing it impact your life? Stay tuned to find out.
The Church and society desperately need leaders with character. God knows this, which is why He has so much to say in Scripture about this vital matter.
Find out about this in this broadcast!
Leadership is influence. We all influence others -- for good or bad. But we have assurance from 2 Chronicles 16:9 that God is looking to strongly support those who want to influence others for Him. What does this entail? Find out in this broadcast!
This new series is a further development of a pastor and leader conference I recently held in Uganda.
Truly biblical leaders are in short supply there -- and all over the world. What kind of a leader is God searching for? This will be our focus, with 2 Chronicles 16:9 as our key Scripture.
This third and last installment is on a topic of major importance in Scripture.
Few truths are more life-changing than what the future holds for the believer in Jesus -- yet many are unaware of what the Bible teaches on this matter.
As such, we will seek to carefully examine what it has for us -- and expect our lives to be transformed.
The Bible is a book oft present and eternal, explaining carefully what awaits the believer in Jesus. The promises are astounding, and the biblical writers staked their lives on those promises. What are they? What do they mean? How will they impact you?
The core of the Christian faith is redemption -- seen especially in God's plan for the resurrection and restoration of all things, through faith in Jesus. This is what brings present hope and perspective. Do you know what the Bible teaches on this subject?
No believer in Jesus can take one penny or one material item to Heaven. What will endure, however, is the fruit we develop for Jesus (John 15:1-8).
And so much of the fruitfulness we produce comes through prayer -- prayer to know God, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for others. These prayers -- offered in faith -- will have eternal results. ETERNAL results. I hope this reality stirs you to grow in prayer.
And certainly, the teaching of Jesus here in Mt. 6:5-14 will accomplish so much of this!
I just finished an in-depth study of David's remarkable prayer in Ps. 86 -- certainly one of the greatest prayers and insights into the nature of God anywhere in Scripture (and I will be doing a message series on this soon).
Even so, it cannot improve upon what Jesus teaches in Mt. 6:5-14, the subject of this message.
I continue to marvel at the brilliance of the Lord's Pattern of Prayer 44 years after first learning of it, in Mt. 6:5-14. No teaching on prayer can come close to it!
If you were to ask any of the men and women we read about in the Bible about prayer, they would all rate it as high as possible and urge everyone to embrace it.
The Lord Jesus knows how vital prayer is, but He also knows its challenges. In His teaching on prayer -- The Lord's Pattern of Prayer (Mt. 6:5-14) -- He reveals the great secrets to prayer and also invites you to experience its eternal value.
An intriguing, heartfelt message on the great joy -- and vast importance -- of prayer. This comes from what I like to call The Lord's Pattern of Prayer, from Mt. 6:5-14. This is the life-giving, brilliant, matchless teaching of Jesus on prayer.
I have a feeling that this new series -- Jesus Reveals the Father Heart of God from John 1:18 -- might be the most important I've ever taught.
Ultimately, however, that doesn't matter; what matters is that it changes you and me and glorifies God. This new series will air on the local FM station in Siaya, Kenya on my weekly broadcast there.
Accordingly, you'll hear me use some words from the local language -- Luo.For example, Nyasaye oguedi is God bless you; Nyasaye Wuonwa is God our Father; Erokamano ahinya is thank you very much. Yesu Opaki is Praise Jesus. Osiepena is friends. Koro is "so."

This Part Four, the last in our short series on The Peace of God. Learning to walk in His peace toward others -- admittedly often challenging -- is possible through a renewed mind and through prayer in dependence upon the Holy Spirit.
Learning this is critical to the maturity of the believer and it will bring greater joy.
In Part Three of this important series, we're reminded that human peace is elusive; it's weak and it will always fall short, being dependent upon circumstances.
However, God's peace is supernatural and independent of circumstances. How do we walk in His peace?
It's more abundantly available to us than we realize! This message will prayerfully help you to grow in the peace of God.
