In today’s episode on Acts 18-19, Paul starts his third missionary journey. When we contrast much of contemporary evangelism with Paul’s, its shallowness shows up.
Our evangelism tends to be focused on simply inviting people to church. Paul also took the gospel out into the secular world. Our evangelism appeals to the emotions for a decision without an adequate basis of understanding. Paul taught, reasoned, and tried to persuade. Our evangelism is superficial, making brief encounters and expecting quick results. Paul stayed in Corinth and Ephesus for 5 years, faithfully sowing gospel seed and in due time...

Why are so many of us unable to control what we so naively thought we could?
Here’s a thought: what if we fail in controlling our sexual sin not because we can’t control it, but because we like it? What if the reason we keep going back to the place that we hate and do the things we abhor is that deep down, doing what we hate makes us feel better about what our deeper...

They were all commended for their faith and their testimonies teach us four valuable lessons about the Christian life.

In view of understanding who Christ is, the author of Hebrews encourages Christians to hold firmly to their faith in His work in spite of adversity.
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of G...

2023-09-2844 minThe Hope Podcast with Lina AbujamraI am confident because He is faithful [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #3]One of the greatest battles we encounter as followers of Christ is the struggle against unbelief.
When our prayers go seemingly answered, when we don’t see the results we hoped for, when life hurls one curveball after another, we’re tempted to succumb to fear, disappointment, and to forget who is on our side.
In Hebrews chapter 3, the author is making a point that one of the most effective ways to fight unbelief is to consider Jesus, to think carefully about Him (Hebrews 3:1). By considering Him we will come to the realization that He is f...

Much like us today, the early Christian believers were living in tumultuous times. They confronted injustice, endured suffering, and grappled with a sense of uncertainty, all of which tempted them to forsake their faith.
In this context, the author of Hebrews reminds them, and us, that even when things look messy, when life is challenging, and our suffering seems to have no end, God is in control, an...

How do we navigate times of adversity victoriously? What do we need to stand unshaken in a rapidly changing culture? How do we replace our insecurities with immovable faith? How do we overcome disappointments and experience stability in the most unpredictable of times?
The author of Hebrews knows the answer—CONFIDENCE in God. Writing to a people living in turbulent times...

God has placed within each of us a holy discontent, a stirring, a desire for something more. It's a longing that cannot be satisfied by anything else but a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
In today’s podcast we’ll look at Revelation 22 and delve into God’s invitation to us, the blessings that are still to come to those who seek Him, as well as learn how to cultivate a desire for more of God.

The lineup of men and women from Hebrews 11 certainly understand the struggle in our heart, and the way they responded to adversity, unfairness, confusion, or God’s silence, serves as a timeless guide for us during our most trying times.
So, grab your headphones, open your heart, and listen to today’s podcast because I believe your doubt will meet purpose and your uncertainty will...

John 21 is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. Here we encounter how Jesus responded to Peter after what was probably his biggest failure yet – the denial of Jesus before His crucifixion.
Instead of scolding him, Jesus loves him and points him to his purpose and calling.
I believe today’s podcast will bring you hope and remind you that your failure is not the end of your story, but per...

Maybe not a lot has turned out as anticipated and the losses and tensions you have felt, have left you discouraged. Maybe you might find it difficult to be grateful this time of the year. Trust me, I understand.
But I believe this podcast will open our eyes to see that we can trust God’s goodness and faithfulness even in the darkest of times; that we can stand strong no matter what, full of g...

This teaching from John 11 – the raising of Lazarus – will help you understand that God is at work in the delays of our lives, fulfilling His greater purposes in what looks like impossible circumstances.

In Matthew 11, John the Baptist’s story looked like it ended badly from a human perspective. Here was an individual whom Jesus considered to be the greatest among all men (Mat. 11:11) stuck in prison, hoping to be delivered, only to be beheaded instead.
