The Solution - For All Mankind, For All Time

Episode 104: The Name Above All Names God the Father has given Jesus Christ the name above all names. There is tremendous power and deliverance in that name. What an awesome savior we have in Jesus Christ! Acts 2:21-24, 36-39 Acts 4:1-12 Philippians 2:9-11 II Corinthians 5:21 Ephesians 2:8,9

Episode 103: No Fear Today! God our Father is in us and with us today. It is available to live this life with no fear whatsoever. If you have any fear in your life, listen to this sharing to learn how to eliminate ALL fear in your life. It is God's desire that you have a life of peace and joy and abundance. You can trust God today and live Free of fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 Proverbs 29:25 Psalm 34:4 Philippians 4:6, 7

Episode 102: Workers Together with God On this labor day we celebrate the American worker and all that they do for our family and community. On an even greater note - we can rejoice in the work our Heavenly Father has called us to do. His work has eternal ramifications and rewards. II Corinthians 5:17 - 6:1 I Corinthians 3:7 - 16 Philippians 2:5 - 16 Ephesians 2:10

Episode 101: Tender Mercy God's Tender Mercy is abundant toward people. Psalm 119:156 Psalm 103 Ephesians 2

Episode 100: I Hope I'm Ready The other day I had an interesting conversation with Shania. It was not unlike a conversation that I’ve had many times over the years. We were talking about the return of Jesus Christ and eternal life. As we spoke Shania voiced her concern of whether she was truly ready for the return of Jesus Christ. She was concerned that maybe she wouldn’t be a part of God’s salvation through Christ because she had not done enough good works to gain God’s approval. She said, “I hope I’m ready.” We will see from the scriptures what it is "to be ready" and the importance of speaking in tongues in the believer's life.

Episode 99: The Reward of Obedience Today's topic is the Reward of Obedience from Philippians chapter two. The second half of the show is an interview with Billy Hallowell, Director of Communication and Content for Pure Flix Entertainment. Regarding the topic of obedience to God, I’ll be honest, I’m not always obedient to God’s direction. But when I am, there is always great reward. Just the joy of knowing that your life has made a difference in the life of another is enough for me. In Philippians we are going to look at the example of our Lord Jesus Christ who was obedient unto death. We will see the great reward our Lord and Savior has received. And in the context of our reading we will see how our Heavenly Father works within us to will and to do of His good pleasure. Billy Hallowell has been working in journalism and media for more than a decade. His writings have appeared in TheBlaze, and on FoxNews.com in addition to many other outlets. Billy is the Director of Communication and Content for Pure Flix. He also writes a blog that is published on the Pure Flix website. https://www.PureFlix.com Billy Hallowell blog https://insider.pureflix.com/

Episode 98: He is Risen Words mean something. Words can inspire and encourage or they can cause despair and fear. The words of politicians move nations to action. While the words of some endeavor to instill fear and paralyze the hearers. The words of a radio commercial persuade the hearer to purchase a product. While the words of the talking heads on tv give information sometimes tainted by the prejudice of the one who speaks. We are inundated all day long by words. Words we hear. Words we think. In my humble opinion the 3 greatest words ever spoken ….. He is Risen! Today's program looks at the record of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and part of what that means for us today.

Episode 97: Jesus Christ Our Passover Lamb This week being the week before we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead I thought we’d take a look at Jesus Christ as our Passover Lamb and what that means to us today. Jesus Christ is God’s solution for mankind’s redemption. Why did we need to be redeemed? We needed to be redeemed because of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden many thousands of years ago. At the time of Adam’s disobedience man died. What did man lose in his death in the Garden? He initially lost spirit. He lost his relationship with God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Adam and Eve were then cast out of the Garden and eventually their body and soul also died. The great loss for mankind was spirit. It was also a tremendous loss for God – He no longer had the fellowship He desired when He first gave life to Adam and Eve. God put in motion His plan to redeem mankind with the perfect man, the Lord Jesus Christ. … in order that man might once again be able to have spirit and a restored relationship with the most High God!

Episode 96: Answered Prayer A couple days a go I had the privilege to pray with Sheryl, a young lady from Florida. She was visiting the Chicago area because her brother was in hospice. She is a Christian. Her brother was not a Christian. For the past 3 month she has flown here every 10 days or so to spend time with her brother whom she grew up being very close to. She prayed for her brother daily. A couple weeks ago, her brother knowing that he was getting closer to death, asked her what do I need to do? Meaning, I’m know I need God. I know I need Jesus. What do I need to do? She prayed with her brother. She shared with him God’s love for him. And she told him that to receive eternal life he needed to believe that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and to confess Jesus as Lord. That day her brother received eternal life. He believed the words that Sheryl spoke. Sheryl had been praying for her brother. His heart was softened to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. God answered Sheryl’s prayer. There are many records in the Bible where we see people pray, God hears their prayer – God responds and then those that prayed act according to God’s response or direction. There are 2 tremendous examples of this in the book of Acts chapter 10 that we will look at in today's program.

Episode 95: The Gift from God In today's show you will meet Hector who loves God and refuses to allow the circumstances of life to steal his joy. God has given us many things, but the greatest of all is the gift of His son, Jesus Christ. And believing in His son results in receiving the gift of eternal life. God did not reconcile us to himself by our good works or by our prayer or by our going to church every week. God reconciled us and brought us back into favor and righteousness to Himself by Jesus Christ. And not only that – He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. You have a ministry. That ministry is to speak God’s Word regarding the Lord Jesus Christ to others so that they too can be reconciled to the one true God. The interview in the second half of the program is with Christian minister, author, Bible teacher and broadcaster Mike Verdicchio. Mike’s newest book “What Does It Mean?” was just recently published. Whether someone is simply interested in the culture of Bible times, a casual reader of the Bible, a serious student of the Scriptures, or a teacher, in the pages of What Does It Mean? they will discover gems of hidden truths and delight in understanding previously difficult sections of the Bible. What Does It Mean? not only sheds light on over four dozen hard to understand verses of the Bible, but also offers some simple practical application for our day and time. Mike's blog is at www.ConfidenceAndJoy.com. To receive an autographed copy of Mike's most recent book go to http://confidenceandjoy.com/what-does-it-mean.

Episode 94: Redeem the Time This past week was especially challenging in the sense that I couldn’t really accomplish much of anything because of the way my body was acting. There were a couple days where I had to sleep for 12 + hours. It really got me to think about the value of health and the value of time. Which brings me to the topic we are going to look at today in God’s Word. Redeeming the time. What are we living for? How are we spending our time? We spend our time on what we consider to be important. What is important to you? Last week, not being able to do what my heart desired to do because of illness, caused me to reflect on the life I live. Do I live out of anxiety or do I live out of knowing God’s love and trusting Him? I admit, sometimes I live out of anxiety because of the circumstances I find myself in. I need to eliminate that anxiety by trusting my Heavenly Father. Do you live from anxiety or love? How we spend our time will reflect what and who we trust. This causes me to ask the question – “What would it be like to fully trust our Heavenly Father, the God who inhabits eternity and knows the end before the beginning?” What would your life be like if you fully trusted and obeyed the God of Love who only desires His best for you?

Episode 93: Speak Life - Live Life The other day when I met Fay she was wearing a large cross around her neck. I told her that I was very thankful for what Jesus Christ did upon the cross for us. She replied, "Amen". We then talked about the Lord’s Return and we both agreed what a glorious moment that will be! We could have talked about the weather or about the meaningless trivial things of the day. Instead we lived life to its fullest, at that moment in time, by speaking life to one another – by speaking God’s Word and sharing the gospel with one another. What a joy! What a privilege to love others by speaking God’s Word. And what a tremendous start to the day by praying together. Our Heavenly Father is so gracious and kind to allow us to minister His grace, His mercy and His love to others. We do that by speaking and living His Word. The interview segment is with Mike Bliss. Mike is associated with the Sports Barn Men’s Bible Study in Bennington Nebraska, which is just outside of Omaha. Mike is the facilitator for the men’s weekly prayer and Bible study group.

Episode 92: The Greatest Day! Meet Michael whom I met one early Sunday morning and told him about God’s love for him and how valuable he is to God. Each of us has needed someone to love us to the end of speaking God’s Word to us – we didn’t deserve it – too many of us were immersed in the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. But by God’s grace and mercy the seeds of His Word, His Love, were planted and they eventually took root to the end of believing that Jesus Christ died for you and that God raised him from the dead. Then by confessing Jesus as Lord we received eternal life. The day we believed God’s Word may have been our greatest day. But there is a greater day to come – the Return of our Lord Jesus Christ! Learn how your life makes a difference as you speak God’s Word and Live God’s Love. Today's guest interview is with Annette Hubbell.

Episode 91: The Integrity of God's Word It really is the integrity of God’s Word that is at stake. In today’s show hear about a Muslim woman that is open to hear about Christianity. Jesus Christ stated that he was the way, the truth and the life. Absolutely no one can receive eternal life outside of God’s plan of redemption found in Christ Jesus. Jesus said, “no one comes unto the Father but by him.” Either Jesus told the truth, or he lied. Not all belief systems are equal. Only one leads to life – all the others lead to death. If your understanding is unclear. If you have doubt regarding Jesus Christ and what he has done for you – If you have a heart that truly desires to know – pray to God that He would make Himself known to you. Ask Him to open your eyes as you read the Bible. God is not hiding. He desires for you to know Him. He will answer your prayer. ------- Today’s interview segment is with Robert Wilkinson. Robert has led Mission Trips to Australia, Kenya, Uganda, and Japan. He is returning to Japan March 13 with his wife Patti and a team of four others for one month.

Episode 90: Trust the God Who Loves You Hear the story of Shakita. She was encouraged by prayer and God's Word. It is vitally important that we know that God loves us. The foundation of our relationship with God has to be built on His love. People in this world are hurting. They need those of us that know God and His Word to love them – to make known to them the living Word. We can do that by speaking God’s Word and praying and ministering God’s healing and deliverance to them. And at times we may be able to help them financially, or help them find a job, or just give a listening ear – allowing them to pour their heart out. Interview Segment is with author and international conference speaker Ann Sullivan. Ann is the author of the book Permission to Doubt and just released last week - Unsatisfied: Finding Contentment in a Discontented World. She also writes a blog titled Simple Truths.

Episode 89: Seek Your Heavenly Father What do you seek for day to day? What do you pursue to attain and consider to be of great value? Where is your time and energy spent? I’d venture to say that most in our day and time seek for riches, honor and the praise of men. There are some today that seek after God and the things of God. Those that do seek after God are at times dismissed by the world as being a "little off" or maybe living to an "undesirable extreme". It’s relatively easy to follow the masses and pursue after riches, honor and the praise of men. It is not always easy to follow after God and His heart in this messed up world – it can at times be a bit of a struggle – almost as if you are like a fish fighting to get upstream – until, until your seeking of God flows from your heart. Then it becomes first nature. Then you have joy unspeakable. A joy that the that the world could never replace. Today's program looks at seeking God first, above all else, and the great reward for doing so.

Episode 88: God's Abundant Grace God’s grace is abundant in our lives every day. He has demonstrated His grace and unconditional love toward us in the giving of His son, our Lord Jesus Christ. God is love and God is light. God is gracious toward all of us. Grace is given because of love. God loves us and He sheds His divine favor on each of us. In today's teaching we look at several records in God's Word where we find God’s grace toward mankind all throughout history. Thank you for listening!

Episode 86: God's Treasure Interview segment – John Fallahee – LearnLogos.com Jesus Christ is a wonderful example to us in His respect for the written Word of God, in hearing God’s voice and in His obedience to His Father’s direction.

Do you know what you have been called to? What do the scriptures say about you? Your true identity is found in Christ in God. You are loved beyond measure by your Heavenly Father. He has in store for you an inheritance so rich and abundant that it will take God all eternity to unfold to you His great grace, mercy and love.

Episode 85: Live in Light of Christ's Return The Lord Jesus Christ could Return at any moment. His return in imminent! What will we do until the fullness of times when God the Father sends His son to gather us together unto Him? We will do as the spirit directs. We will make full proof of our ministries of service. We will comfort and encourage one another with the Word of God. We will do the work of an evangelist proclaiming to all that will listen of the love the Father has for a perishing world. We will live life to its fullest for God knowing that there is great reward throughout all eternity. God's Word encourages us towards the more worthy endeavor of living with and for Him!

Greg@TheSolutionRadioShow.com 2 Corinthians 5:17 - 20 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
