Preaching the Word
The "First Principle" podcasts which are numbered # are a great tool for believers to go over the essentials of the Christian Faith. The "Mysteries of God's Word" podcasts are an indepth study of Scripture. The other podcasts are sermons that have been given, some verse by verse and others topical. It is my passion to be true to God and His Word. To preach in such a way that people can easily see the LORD as our Creator and as our Redeemer. To understand that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever even as we live in a world that is continually changing. Salvation is and has always been through faith alone in the Messiah alone. His name is Jesus the Christ; there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

When was the last time you heard a sermon about fearing God? In our modern Christian landscape, this biblical concept has fallen out of favor, replaced with gentler, more palatable messages about God's friendship and unconditional love. Yet Scripture is unequivocal – "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge."
This episode marks the beginning of a special series exploring famous verse...

Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dream sets the stage for one of Scripture's most profound prophetic revelations.

Enter Daniel, a young Jewish exile who approaches this crisis with remarkable faith and wisdom.
What unfolds is far more than a demonstr...
Dreams have power—especially when they haunt a king. Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, finds himself tormented by recurring nightmares so vivid they steal his sleep and peace of mind.

The scene unfolds with dramatic tension as Babylon's mos...
