Character Construction Underway - part 1
God disciplines both to train and to chastise us. He does this because we are His children…He loves us…and wants to conform us into the likeness of His Son, Jesus. We learned that God often uses consequences to help us ‘come clean’ from the sin in our lives. On this program, we’ll take a look at the qualities God wants to mold into our character.
A Tribute to Mothers and Grandmothers
Pictures…what would we do without them? They capture the beauty of the moment and help us relive memories of times that will never occur like that again. Other people can't appreciate them like we do - we have them painted in our minds. When we think of ‘MOTHER’, we recall vivid pictures of her doting over us in loving ways. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek will pay tribute to the moms and grandmoms who mold the character of their children and grandchildren.
Why do WE have to Suffer?
On our last program, we learned about some of the benefits we receive as a result of Christ’s sacrifice: forgiveness, freedom from condemnation, and fellowship with God. Because Christ suffered for us, He can identify with us…and we can identify with Him. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek will begin to explore the reasons why we must endure suffering.
The Benefits of Christ's Suffering
It’s incredible to think of what God did to redeem us. The infinite God of the universe became a finite man in the person of His Son, Jesus. Containing Himself in human flesh alone was a sacrifice, yet Jesus came to earth and lived in poverty, to show us the Father, and to pay the incredible price for our sin. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek continues her series ‘Why Trials?’ as she talks about the benefits we receive because of Christ’s suffering.
Is God Good?
He Died in Childbirth
Ever heard of a man giving birth to a child? Well, if there was one, it would be all over the newspapers and the man would be a millionaire. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek talks about a man who did just that and received a different kind of reward. But instead of the news becoming a headline, He was killed, and the story attempted to be suppressed. Interested? Keep listening…
Is God Good?
Is God good? Sure - we all know God is good - He’s perfect, holy and without sin. He’s not tempted by evil, and He doesn’t tempt us with evil. But many people say God is good only when He’s done something they think is good for them. Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek continues her new series ‘Why Trials?’ as she focuses on the goodness of God.
The Refiner's Fire
God often uses illustrations to help us better understand His truths. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek begins a new series entitled ‘Why trials?’. She’ll take us through a detailed description of the refining process and show how God uses fiery trials to mold our character. So listen in as Barbara addresses the topic, ‘The Refiner’s Fire’.
Peter's Discourse
On this program, we're going to take you back in time to one of the most exciting events in the history of the Christian church. We'll meet some special people and hear more about what took place. The setting is Jerusalem, the time around 30 A.D.
Easter - a New Begininng!
What does Easter mean to you? Is it a time to get out the Easter baskets, shop for clothes, and have your kids’ picture taken with the Easter Bunny? Well, that may be what some people do, but the actual meaning of the ‘Easter’ is ‘a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ’.
