Thank you for joining us for the 4th installment of our series, "Angels Around Us." It is the most thrilling one yet! We are looking at the angels who interacted with Joseph, Mary and the shepherds at the time of Jesus' spectacular birth that first Christmas night. We pray this podcast brings you joy as we learn how much God loves us. He loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to be born in a lowly manger and, ultimately, to die on the cross for our sins. And, He conquered sin and death when He rose again on the 3rd day!
This is a wonderful day to celebrate His birth and to embrace Him as your Lord and Savior. We will share how you can make that crucial decision at the end of this podcast.
Next week, we are looking for some audience participation! If you or someone close to you has had an angelic encounter, please share it with us! You can send your angel stories to us via email at woolfcounsell@gmail.com.
We would be honored to share your story next week on Hope for the Hurting.

Thank you for joining us for the 3rd episode in our 5-part series entitled, "Angels Around Us." In today's podcast, we will take a deeper look into angelic involvement in our lives and on the earth. God sent angels to be examples for us. Angels carry out some of God's plans, both bringing joyful news and glad tidings and also doling out judgment and destruction on the wicked. Angels were created to glorify God, and they are not to be worshipped. Only God is worthy of our worship and devotion. We will discuss all of these topics and more on today's show.
Our next podcast will drop on Christmas Eve, and that is the perfect opportunity to shine the spotlight on the angels who were actively on the scene at the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please join us!

Thank you for joining us for our series "So, What's the Difference?" where we have been comparing Biblical Christianity to several dominant world religions. This is part 11 in our 12 episode series. In this podcast, we are comparing the light of Biblical Christianity to the darkness of Wicca (aka Witchcraft).
Although this is a dark and oppressive topic, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - II Timothy 1:7
Dr. Irv will share his research on the main differences between the God of Christianity and the god Wiccans worship and expose some of their beliefs regarding God, Jesus, humanity, reincarnation, sex and salvation. In addition, we will proclaim the hope found in Jesus and share how to be free from the bondage of this suffocating false religion by surrendering our lives to Jesus Christ, who died and rose again to redeem us from Satan's clutches.
Throughout this series, we will use the standard of the Bible as our authentic currency to detect counterfeit faiths and religious beliefs.
Please join us next week for our final episode in the "So, What's the Difference?" series as we look at the rise of a one world religion and how that religion plays into End Times prophecy. You won't want to miss it!

Thank you for joining us for the 6th part in our series entitled, "Who is Jesus Christ?" Today we take a look at the Intercession of Jesus Christ as High Priest.
Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. He came to earth, died a barbaric death on a cross to pay the price for our sins and reconcile us to a Holy God, and He rose again defeating the curse of sin and death.

Thank you for joining us for the 5th part in our series entitled, "Who is Jesus Christ?" We are eager to discuss the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in this podcast!
Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. The entire reason He came to earth was to die on a rugged cross to pay the price for our sins and reconcile us to a Holy God.

He conquered sin and death when He rose again on the third day, and because of his victory over death, we have the hope of eternal life when we receive Him as our Lord and Savior.
Next week, we will take a look at the Intercession of Jesus Christ as our High Priest who has entered the Holy of Holies and continuously pleads our case before the Almighty God. Praise the Lord for His awesome power and love for us! Please join us!

Thank you for joining us for the 4th part in our series entitled, "Who is Jesus Christ?" Our focus today is on the death and burial of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. The entire reason He came to earth was to die on a rugged cross to pay the price for our sins and reconcile us to a Holy God. That's right. His heavenly job description was to come to earth and die a brutual, inhuamane death for people who mocked and hated him, and He knew it before he took the job, and chose to fulfill the role anway! That is incomprehensible.
Today's podcast is not for the faint of heart. It is difficult to hear how our precious Savior was viciously beaten and crucified, but it is important to remind ourselves of the great price He paid to save us and how infinitely much He loves each of us.
Next week, we switch gears and look at the exhilirating account of Christ's resurrection and victory over sin and death! Praise the Lord for His awesome power and love for us! Please join us!

Thank you for joining us for the 3rd part in our series entitled, "Who is Jesus Christ?" Our focus today is on the Earthly Ministry of Jesus Christ - His birth, His baptism, His miracles and His teaching. His life was amazing. His life was regulated by Old Testmanet prophecy. Being God, He knew how He was to minister to the masses, how He would be betrayed by a friend, how He would die and how He would be resurrected. ASTONISHING! Nothing was by chance. His life was purposeful and intentional.

Thank you for joining us for our series on Handling Your Emotions. In this series, we've been discussing several difficult emotions and using the truth of God's Word to combat Satan's lies. Today, we finish up our two-parter on Fear, an emotion that has gripped our nation, our world and impacted every single one of our lives. People are afraid. They are hiding in their homes. They are lonely and paralyzed by fear because of what they are seeing and being told by the media, but is this fear legitimate? Does it come from God, themselves or Satan? How can we cope with these overwhelming emotions and learn to live and even thrive again? Dr. Irv shares his research and insight from the Bible on all of these questions and more.

When do we know it's time to seek help for ourselves or a loved one? What kind of things can we do to work through these emotions and heal? Is there a spiritual component and where is God in all of this? Doesn't He see our pain? Doesn't He care? Why does He seem so distant?

Today, we are continuing our study on the fruits of the Spirit as we shine the spotlight on Patience, Kindness and Goodnesss. These fruits are only possibly through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and through His work in our lives as believers. It is supernatural to display these qualities in the midst of tense, frustrating and chaotic situations, especially when others are venting their anger and frustration on us. Yet, it is in those situations when we respond with patience, kindness and goodness that others can see Jesus in us and be drawn to Him.
Next week, we'll take a look at Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control.
Wouldn't it be great to see those fruits multipled and spread around the globe!?
