    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>No, we are not talking about your ex in this podcast! Paul is writing to Titus who has been left behind to establish some leadership in the church at Crete. The people of Crete are known as deceitful and not very well liked by their own. Interesting fact, the Greek god, Zeus, was born on the island of Crete and hidden in a cave there. He starts off by establishing his authority as an apostle and what his intentions of writing is, “To establish truth to help them live righteous and grow in their faith.” It’s a similar message in his letters to Timothy. The word in the Greek Paul uses is epignosis and it means a precise and exact truth. It’s exactly what the disciples in Crete need in order to know they are not being deceived by Paul.

  <description>Did you ever watch Animal Planet or one of those animal videos that show a lion or some type of predator watching a herd of animals just waiting for one to leave the herd? The predator literally lays in wait just biding time until one of those unsuspecting animals walks away from the herd just enough to be vulnerable, and as soon as they get away from the protection of the herd, the predator attacks. This is what Paul is warning Timothy about and he tells him, “Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you.”

  <description>The sermon I preached at Authentic Church from our Revelation series. I was assigned Revelation 16-18 so I brought out several points from those three chapters:
1. Be ready.
2. Where is your treasure?
3. Don't underestimate the power of the enemy.
4. If you're angry at God, it is OK...just don't give up on Him.
5. God sends out an invitation for us all to come out of sin and be with Him.
