    How to Never Lose Ground Again

In this Light on Life teaching, we explore Jude 24 and uncover God’s promise of a steady, no-slip, sure-footed walk in His ways. This passage in Jude 24 isn’t about repenting after you fall. It’s about something way more dynamic that’s available to you as a child of His. This passage is about God’s ability to keep you from falling in the first place. You will see from the Word of God that Scripture shows that God lights your path, secures your steps, and guards your footing as you walk the Jesus life. If you are tired of slipping spiritually, then this message is for you. You can regain lost ground in the Name of the Lord. You can choose a no-slip, Jesus is Lord life, by faith in God. How to Never Lose Ground Spiritually, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

    This Week:  God is able to keep you from stumbling; you can regain lost ground and stay steadily increasing in Him once and for all.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Thirteen Episode Two

    How to Construct Your Prayer Life on God's Word

    Many believers know they should pray more, yet few have been taught how to intentionally build a prayer life that grows stronger over time. Jude 20–21 gives us a clear blueprint: we are to build ourselves up in our most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit and staying anchored in God’s love. In this episode of Light on Life, we explore prayer as a construction project—adding floors, strengthening foundations, and learning how to both pray to God and talk with Him. We also uncover the biblical connection between prayer, leadership, and global gospel impact, showing why praying for all people and all kings is not optional but essential for God’s purposes in the earth. That’s why we our focus today is How to Construct Your Prayer Life on God’s Word.

    This Week: Build intentionally—pray in the Spirit, stay focused on God, and expand your prayer life beyond yourself.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Thirteen Episode One

    Why Ironclad Prayer Is God's Vision for Terrific Life

    False believers are not a modern problem—they were predicted by the apostles themselves. In Jude 17–21, believers are warned that scoffers, divisive voices, and spiritually empty people would arise to dilute the power of the Body of Christ from within. Rather than panic — rather than retreat, Jude gives us a clear winning response: build yourself up on your most holy faith through prayer, by praying in the Holy Spirit. In this Light on Life teaching, we uncover God’s vision for prayer in your life. Acting on it, will build you up and strengthen your faith. This ‘inside your spirit strength’ will keep you from being weakened by outside deception. Built as a mighty strong structure on the unmovable foundation of Jesus, is your destiny. Why Ironclad Prayer Is God’s Vision for Terrific Life, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

    This Week: Discover why prayer in the Holy Spirit is God’s strategy for building unshakable faith in deceptive times.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Nine

    Why Your Lifetime Commitment Should Be God’s Secure Word

    In a culture filled with confusion, deception, and competing voices, the Book of Jude delivers a sobering warning that believers cannot afford to ignore. Jude 12–16 exposes the dangerous nature of false teachers—hidden reefs beneath calm waters, shepherds feeding themselves, and wandering stars destined for darkness. In this Light on Life teaching, we confront the spiritual instability of our age and call believers back to one unshakable anchor: God’s secure Word. When emotions lie, culture shifts, and voices multiply, Scripture alone tells us where we are, where we’re going, and how to land safely. That’s why Jude is intense—because God is intense about protecting His people from spiritual disaster. Why Your Lifetime Commitment Should Be God’s Secure Word, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

    This Week: Why spiritual survival depends on a lifetime commitment to God’s secure Word.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Eight

    Why Humility Is Part of the Beautiful Christmas Spirit

    Christmas week invites us to slow down, reflect, and focus on the humility of Jesus Christ—but Jude 11 reminds us that not every spirit operating in religious spaces reflects His heart. In this episode, we examine Korah’s rebellion and contrast the pride that fuels spiritual rebellion with the humility displayed in the birth of Jesus. While false teachers exalt themselves, Christ laid aside glory to serve and save. This Christmas teaching exposes pride, celebrates humility, and calls believers to walk in the true spirit of Christ. Why Humility Is Part of the Beautiful Christmas Spirit, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

  • Why Money Hungering Greed Is Not God’s Way To Happiness

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Seven

    Why Money Hungering Greed Is Not God's Way To Happiness

    Greed has always been one of the most dangerous distortions of spiritual leadership. In Jude 10–11, false teachers are exposed as people who abandon God’s way for personal gain, following the paths of Cain and Balaam. This episode of Light on Life takes a clear-eyed look at Balaam’s error—how greed, divination, and profit-driven prophecy stand in direct opposition to trusting the living God. As Scripture interprets Scripture, we see that when people turn from God’s Word to pursue money, deception follows, truth is abandoned, and spiritual destruction is never far behind. That’s Why Money Hungering Greed Is Not God’s Way To Happiness.

    Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Forty-Six

    In today’s world, some so-called spiritual leaders make bold claims, but behind those claims often lies a dangerous deception. Jude’s warning about false teachers is just as relevant now as it was in the first century. These individuals speak against what they don’t understand, rely on their own instincts instead of truth, and follow the destructive path of Cain. Jude pulls back the veil on their arrogance, ignorance, and harmful influence—not to scare believers, but to strengthen them. In this episode, we’ll dive into how these behaviors manifest, why they’re so dangerous, and how we can stay anchored in truth when deception is disguised as spirituality. This week on Light on Life, we focus on How to Spot Rogue Teachers Who Threaten the Faith of Believers.

  • 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.
