How to Gain Peace
We’ve been studying about peace. So far we’ve discussed how we can have peace with God and peace within ourselves. Our host Barbara Sandbek concluded our last program by saying that in order to have peace within ourselves, we need to focus on Jesus. But how do we do that? Listen and find out.
Peace with God
Because we’ve sinned against God, our relationship with the Author of peace is severed. But God provided the way for restoration to occur through the sacrificial gift of His son, Jesus, the Prince of Peace. He died and rose again to pay the penalty for our sin. By accepting Him as our Savior, we are at PEACE WITH GOD. On our program today, our host, Barbara Sandbek, will tell us how we can be at peace with ourselves.
What is True Peace?
Webster defines peace, both, as internal contentment and the end of hostilities via an agreement or treaty. But is peace really attainable? Can we ever get to the point where we feel ‘all smooth inside’ even during tumultuous times? On our program today, our host, Barbara Sandbek, will cover these questions and more as we begin a series entitled ‘Peace is Attainable’.
How to Pray - the Attitude of Prayer
God has much to say about prayer. In fact, He commanded that we pray. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says that we are to pray continually, and Philippians 4:6 exhorts us to pray in every situation. On our last program, we learned that… We are to pray to our Father, God, in the Name of Jesus.. We are not to babble.. We are not to pray so others with be impressed.. We must pray with faith believing that God will answer.. We must pray with a clean heart so as not to hinder our communication... We should pray according to God’s will so that our prayers will be answered ‘yes’. In this program, Barbara Sandbek will explore the Scriptures for a further understanding of how to pray and what to pray for.
How to Pray - What to Pray about
Much has been written on the subject of prayer. Perhaps it’s because it seems somewhat mysterious. There’s no specific method and no guaranteed outcome. Why should we pray, then? Is it just to get what we want, or to change God’s mind about something? No…it is to fulfill one of mankind's’ greatest needs – to have fellowship with our Creator. On our program today, Barbara Sandbek, will explore the Scripture to see how we can pray more effectively.
How to Fear God Correctly
If we fear God the way we’re supposed to, we won’t be afraid of other things, because God’s perfect love casts out fear. Yes, as Believers, we don’t have to be afraid of God, but we must still respect and reverence Him. How do we rightly fear God? This is the subject matter of our program today. We’ll be covering a lot of Scripture, so grab your Bible and take notes as Barbara dives into God’s Word.
What to Do When We Fear
People have said their #1 fear is public speaking. Other fears include death - yours or a loved ones, danger, the environment, darkness, failure, the future or any unknown thing or event, your children’s well-being, war, sickness, change, loss, the IRS or police officers, doctors and the consequences of sin. So what do we do with this fear? Join our host, Barbara Sandbek, and explore the Scripture together as we seek to find the answer.
How to Handle Anger Correctly
Did you know that being angry is not a sin? In fact, God Almighty gets angry and He certainly does not sin. However, dealing with our anger improperly can result in sin. On this program, our host, Barbara Sandbek, will discuss when anger is justified and when it’s not, using an example from the life of a Biblical character. We’ll also cover ways to diffuse our anger so that we handle it correctly. This is so important to know because . . .
Is All Anger Wrong?
When we think of the word ‘anger’ we immediately begin to FEEL what that word means because its definition is more of a description of what it does to us than what it is. Can a true Christ follower get angry? Of course! Getting angry is not a sin, but how we deal with it can be. Ephesians 4:26 says, “In your anger do not sin." You may be surprised to know, it’s not always a bad thing to feel, so, don’t change your dial. On this program, we are going to see how to handle it correctly.
Love the Right Kind of Way
God had emotions, too. He experiences delight. He rejoices. He can be pleased or not pleased and He gets angry. In addition, God is zealous for His Name, compassionate toward us, jealous for our love, and hates sin. But, over and above all these emotions is His incredible love, which is Who He is. Today we will once again look at the emotion of love.
