  • Why Your Conversation About Angels Needs to be Respectful

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Five

    We’re living in a time when people talk lightly about spiritual things—especially angels—without realizing the weight Scripture places on that conversation. Jude 4–10 pulls back the curtain and shows us why our words about the unseen world matter. Angels take center stage in this passage, not for fascination, but for instruction: fallen angels judged for rebellion, holy angels honored for their authority, and Michael himself refusing to speak disrespectfully even to the devil. In this episode, we explore why believers are called to handle God-created spiritual beings with reverence, avoid the arrogance of false teachers, and keep our conversations grounded in humility, truth, and respect. Why Your Conversation About Angels Needs to be Respectful, that’s our focus on this week’s Light On Life.

  • Why An Outstanding Attitude Helps You Skyrocket

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Four

    Why An Outstanding Attitude Helps You Skyrocket

    Thankfulness is more than a seasonal sentiment — it’s a life-shaping attitude that determines how you see God, yourself, and the world around you. As we enter another Thanksgiving season, Scripture calls us to give thanks always and to recognize that gratitude reflects the condition of our hearts. Ephesians 5:20 reminds us that thankfulness isn’t circumstantial; it’s a posture of faith rooted in God’s goodness. In this episode, we explore why thankfulness must be taught, reinforced, protected, and practiced — and how your value system is revealed in what you celebrate and what you grieve. Gratitude changes everything because it keeps your heart aligned with God.

  • Seven Sins Of The Seriously Deceptive Soul

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Three

    Seven Sins Of The Seriously Deceptive Soul

    Deception isn’t new — it’s been trying to slither its way into God’s people since the first century. Jude warns us that certain people “crept in unnoticed,” slipping into the church wearing masks of godliness while spreading ideas that distort truth, dismiss authority, and deny Jesus Himself. Their tactics haven’t changed. Today, deception still operates quietly, subtly, and devilishly — targeting believers who aren’t watching. In this episode, we unpack the seven traits of deceptive people so you can recognize the mask, spot the fruit, and stand unshaken in a world invaded by spiritual counterfeits. That’s why we are going to talk today on the subject: Seven Sins Of The Seriously Deceptive Soul — all on this week’s Light on Life.

  • Why Contending for the Faith Is for Genuine Believers

    Podcast: Light on Life Season 12 Episode Forty-Two

    Why Contending for the Faith Is for Genuine Believers

    We’re living in a time when truth is questioned, convictions are mocked, and following Jesus often means swimming against the current. Yet this is exactly what genuine believers are called to do—to stand firm and contend for the faith. Authentic believers aren’t spectators in the fight for truth; they’re servants—called, kept, and empowered by Jesus. You don’t need to shout to make a difference, but you do need to stand when others bow. God is calling His people to live with courage, stay grounded in His Word, and hold fast to what’s right even when culture pushes hard in the opposite direction. Why Contending for the Faith Is for Genuine Believers, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season 12 Episode Forty-One

    Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians

    In 2 Timothy 3:1–5, Paul warned that the last days would be filled with difficult people who appear godly but lack true spiritual power. These counterfeit Christians wear a mask of devotion yet deny the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. In this Light on Life teaching, Emery Horvath exposes what it means to have “a form of godliness,” why it’s dangerous, and how genuine believers can stay real, rooted, and full of God’s power in an age of deception. Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

  • How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty

    How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture

    In the Bible’s own words, we are living in the “last of the last days”—a period Scripture says will be marked by fierce, grievous, perilous times (2 Tim. 3:1–5). The “last days” began at Pentecost (Acts 2), and as that timeline nears its finish, the Spirit urges us to pay close attention, gain skill, and understand what we’re seeing. These are difficult days not merely because of events, but because of how people will act—self-loving, truth-dodging, pleasure-first—yet believers are not called to panic; we’re called to overcome. Today, we’ll learn how to face mounting pressure without becoming what we resist—how to conquer evil with good, anchor our hope in Jesus, and walk in the fearless, gentle strength that marks Jesus’ followers as we await His appearing. How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture all on this week’s Light on Life.

  • How God’s War Trumpet Brings the End of the World

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Nine

    How God's War Trumpet Brings the End of the World

    Nowhurch is a distinct and glorious event when believers—both the living and the resurrected dead—will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). In this Light on Life podcast, we explore the meaning behind the “trumpet of God,” that mighty, earth-shaking sound announcing Christ’s call to His people. Scripture reveals that God’s trumpet has always signaled divine movement—whether gathering His people, breaking camp, or declaring war on evil. Understanding this heavenly trumpet reminds us to stay spiritually alive, ready, and filled with the vitality of God as we await the Lord’s coming.

  • The Judgment Seat of Christ: How to Be Ready

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Eight

    The Judgment Seat of Christ: How to Be Ready

    Every believer will one day stand before the blazing brilliance of Jesus at the Judgment Seat of Christ. It’s not a throne of condemnation but a place of evaluation—where motives, faithfulness, and the quality of our work for God are tested by fire. Paul tells us to “take care how we build” on the foundation already laid, which is Christ Himself. This is no time for autopilot spirituality or half-hearted service. What we build, how we build, and why we build will all be revealed. The question is not whether you’ll be there—it’s whether you’ll be ready. That’s why on this week’s episode we cover, “The Judgment Seat of Christ: How to Be Ready” all on this week’s Light on Life.

  • Built on the Powerful Rock: Jesus Is Our Cornerstone

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Seven

    Built on the Powerful Rock: Jesus Is Our Cornerstone

    Jesus is our cornerstone—the solid foundation on which everything lasting and true is built. In Matthew 21:42, Jesus points to Himself as “the stone the builders rejected” that God has made the cornerstone. What others dismissed, God exalted. What the world saw as weakness, God made strength. Every part of our faith, our hope, and our purpose rests on Him. Without the cornerstone, the structure collapses—but with Christ in His rightful place, everything holds together, steady and unshakable. In this week’s Light on Life podcast, we tackle the subject of how we are ‘Built on the Powerful Rock: Jesus as Our Cornerstone.’

  • Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Six

    Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage

    What is growing in God? What does it mean to grow in God? “The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 3 that God is our partner in growth. That means only one thing: growth is a God idea. Consider it like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. At first, it seems insignificant, but then it undergoes a remarkable transformation, reaching new heights! This change isn’t easy. The caterpillar struggles to break free within its cocoon. If someone intervened too soon, it wouldn’t develop the strength to fly. Our journey with God is similar; we might begin humbly, like a caterpillar, but through faith and patience, we can become vibrant beings, soaring on the wings of His purpose! When you connect with God, growth happens. It’s a wonderfully encouraging prospect for believers. Don’t you think? In today’s podcast, we’ll explore our growth in God, focusing on Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage, all on this week’s Light On Life.”
