Michael Land

We will dig into the basics of what being a true follower of Christ means, always taking our truth directly from the word of God!
In a season in which we often see the symbolism of the birth of Christ, we often forget that God stepped into time and space and intervened in the affairs of mankind, personally. And He's going to do it again! Are you ready?
God interrupted the process of developing this series of sermons. I know, that sounds really odd. I had a great plan! But then God stepped in and showe me that if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it HIS way! So, buckle up! This is about to get wild!
Pastor David Land of Mesa New Life Assembly of God in Mesa, Arizona shares with us a timely word on how we can offer God a pleasing sacrifice, a pleasing gift that honors Him. What does it mean when the scripture says "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord?"
The times, they are a'changing as the old phrase goes. But are they? In today's culture we find startling similarities to cultures past. In scripture we heed a stark warning and are given a vital mission. Join us as we see what God has for us in this message.
Welcome to Season Three of Landline! We start this season with a timely message that addresses the topic of Exodus 20:4 - "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." You may never have built an idol out of wood or gold, but is it possible we've been building idols unaware?
We were asked to minister at Mt. Olive Worship Center in Kandiege, Kenya by our dear friend, Pastor James Aguko on April 9, 2023, Resurrection Day. Though we could not be there in person, we recorded a sermon for Pastor James to play for his congregation there. Unfortunately, due to some technical issues somewhere along the way, the audio was not received in its entirety. However, I had felt the need to send my sermon notes to Pastor James as well, and he was able to use them to minister to the congregation there in my stead. God always comes through!
We thought we'd make the Resurrection Day sermon available to our listeners as a supplemental episode of the podcast. Join us as we rejoice at the resurrection of our Lord!

We get asked questions all the time. But, when God asks a question there must be a special reason. Why would a God who knows all and sees all need to ask a question?

As Jesus challenged the world's way of thinking, He completely turned the concept of love upside down! There are so many ideas about love in this world, but Jesus revealed a new and completely foreign concept to His listeners and to us today. Not only did He instruct us how to love, but He lived it out. Grab your Bible and turn to Matthew 5, and let's have our minds renewed by the power of the Word!
Jesus had a wonderful way of speaking the common language of the common man and painting vivid word pictures that made His words memorable. Today's episode highlights a specific incident in which He did just that.

The term fundamentalist has taken on a negative connotation in our society. But what is a fundamentalist?
Ever find yourself "in the thick middle?" You know, when circumstances weigh you down and you don't really know what to do next?
In a period of history during which definitions change rapidly and people often identify with causes or belief systems they might not fully comprehend, the Word of God remains constant.
In Part Two of our conversation with Pastor Michael Jackson of Abundant Life Church in Sacramento, California, we continue to lay out the truth of what it actually means to be a follower of Christ.
In this conversation, Pastor Michael Jackson of Abundant Life Church in Sacramento, California gently explains not only the plan of salvation, but what it looks like as we grow and mature in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.
On May 23, 2021 we had the opportunity to share a message with Mount Olive Worship Center in Kandiege, Homa Bay, Kenya. The members of the church had just experienced a tragic loss.

We are pilgrims in a strange land... travelers... foreigners. Our citizenship is in another kingdom - a kingdom not of this world. But in a world that is hostile to the word of God and to those who truly follow Christ, how do we sing the Lord's song in a foreign Land? The Children of Israel found themselves asking this exact question as they were led off into captivity.
When you ask someone to describe themselves, the first thing they mention tends to be the highest priority. So, How did God first choose to reveal himself to us?
As we learn the true meanings of the names God chose to reveal Himself to mankind, we begin to know Him better. As we know Him better, our faith is increased and we become more effective servants.
After a few weeks hiatus, Landline is BACK! Look forward to some life-changing studies in the very near future!
2020 has been a year like no other! We've seen and experienced things that have changed our daily lives, possibly forever. 2021 represents a fresh new start for many of us. We often spend the last part of the year looking back over the events of the past and setting goals for the future. But what does God want from us in the here and now? In the Space Between? On December 27, 2020, Michael Land had the honor of speaking at Abundant Life Church in Sacramento, California via Zoom Meeting. Join in and listen as he lays his heart out on the topic of The Space Between. We're confident your heart will be touched by this timely message.
What's in a name? A lot, when we look at the name of God! As we begin focusing on the theme "Who Is God," we begin by exploring why the name of God is different and why we must honor it.
Wherever we find ourselves in our life with Christ, our focus should be on getting to know Him better.
In today's technological world, we have access to more information than ever before, just at the touch of a screen. Anything you want to find out is just a tap away. But there's a huge difference between information and knowledge. Merely knowing where to find answers to questions is hardly the same as actually knowing those answers. In this episode of Landline, we're going to explore the importance of true knowledge. Join us!
Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" As we grow deeper in the faith through the study of the word of God we begin to see the revelation of who Jesus truly is.
Grab your Bible and a pen and paper, let's learn more at the feet of Jesus together.
What if I told you that you have no idea who it is that you worship? That's exactly what Jesus said to one woman. As followers of Christ, it is vital that we know Who He truly is. In this episode, we'll begin to discuss what Jesus said about Himself. The "I am" statements of Jesus will lead us to a deeper understanding and relationship with Him.
In these uncertain times it's easy to become overwhelmed. However, let's look at what Jesus told His disciples when their world was being rocked by circumstances beyond their control. Maybe we can find a parallel and apply His words to our world today. Grab your bible and turn to John 14 and let's see how we can overcome the turmoil in our 21st century reality.
