Words of Truth by Mark Barrett

When you come to Christ and He gives you salvation, what do you have?  That's the question I'll be answering in this episode.  

We can be late for dinner and not get anything to eat.  We can be late to work and get docked some pay.  We can be late off the starting block and end up losing the race.  But we can never be too late in entering into a relationship with God and receiving rewards.  Listen to the words of Christ and see how you can find a generous God.  

We worry about so many things.  But do we have to worry?  Do we have to be anxious and upset?  Is there a better way of living life?  Yes, there is, and I'm going to talk about that today.  

Why do the wicked prosper?  Why do those who don't even acknowledge God do so well when God's people struggle?  This is the question Jeremiah has for God.  But God gives some advice to His complaining prophet that we can use today.  Advice that will help us to endure the race before us.

In this podcast, I'm looking at Psalm 126, a Psalm of rejoicing because God had released Israel from bondage. There are people today in bondage who need to be set free.  God is able to do that so that we can once again come to Him with rejoicing on our lips.  

What battle are you facing today?  Whatever it is we can be assured that God is fighting on our behalf and will gain the victory.  But there's something we need to do.  Listen for the answer from God's Word.

What do we normally do when we feel down, attacked, or discouraged? Don't we normally run to other people to find encouragement?  And I'll bet you'll agree with me that most of the time that doesn't help.  Sometimes people can make things worse.  Today I'm talking about how to encourage yourself, and I think you'll find that this can be the best way.   

Today I want to help you to draw close to God.  Christianity if more than a religion or a set of rules to follow, but it's a love relationship between us and God.  In order for that love relationship to grow there are some things we need to pay attention to.  Listen as I share with you today the steps required to grow close to God.

When a fierce storm comes upon us, we want to seek a place of shelter, a place of safety and warmth.  What do we do when the storms of life hit us?  Where do we go for shelter?  Today in Psalm 46 we're going to find that God wants to be our shelter, but we must run to Him.  

Often times trouble comes on us suddenly, and when it does we panic.  In God's Word, He helps in those times by reminding us who is in control and who we can put our trust in.  Today I'm talking about finding help in times of trouble.

Many people are feeling the pressures of Isolation during this time of distancing.  The result is loneliness.  Today I want to share several steps that can lead you to break out of your prison of loneliness.  

What we say to people and how we say it are both important.  If we want healthy relationships we need to learn how to communicate.  We aren't taught very well how to listen, but we're taught how to talk.  This is a problem.  This leads to poor communication  Let's find out what God's Word says about healthy communication.  

Often times when we're up against the wall we start getting stressed, and we complain and try to figure a way out.  But what God wants is for us to depend on His all-sufficiency.  Today we'll be exploring why God chooses to display His power in our weakness.  

What do you do when you feel out of control and without options?  Worry?  Frett?  Get mad at God?  There's a better way to handle situations when we feel like we've been deserted.  The lesson today is about things we can remember that will help us to trust God.    

We've been taught really well how to GET stuff, but most of us haven't been taught how to LOSE stuff.  In this episode of Words of Truth, I'm giving some advice on how to live in a season of loss, and I'll give some ideas on how to deal with loss.  

Fear can be more dangerous than what we fear.  But we can change that by doing this... Listen to discover the answer

Trouble comes in many ways and in many forms.  What we do with our troubles is the key to survival

With so many things happening in our world today, and with COVID-19 running rampant in our world many people are anxious, worried and have lost their peace.  In this podcast, my hope is to bring a few words that will helps us to renew our hope and peace through Jesus Christ.
