Messages to the Last 4 of the 7 Churches of Revelation

Greg shows the struggle between religion and grace already going on in the early churches addressed in the Book of Revelation. Jesus meant for the book of Revelation to give hope and comfort, not crippling fear.

Messages to the First 3 of the 7 Churches of Revelation

Greg strips away the religious barnacles from the book of Revelation as he begins our study of the seven churches of Revelation. He shows what the messages meant to the churches who first heard them and the relevance they have for us today.

Revelation and the Rapture Fable

Airplanes dive into the ground while cars and trucks crash together in mayhem as their pilots and drivers are "Raptured" to heaven. This scenario is not biblical -- relatively few Christians believe it is.

Revelation — A Book For You?

In manipulating their hearers with the book of Revelation's bizarre images and doomsday scenarios the purveyors of pop prophecy create much fear and misunderstanding.

When Trouble Comes

Many historians believe that the 21st century started on September 11, 2001, when murder and mayhem rained down on America. We live in a time of fear and trouble. What encouragement does the Bible offer? Greg talks about our certain security when trouble comes.

Honesty

Do morals and values matter anymore? Greg relates "Eight Blunders of the World" among which are politics without principle, commerce without morality and rights without responsibility. He goes on then to talk about honesty -- about integrity, truth and character. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0203.mp3

Are You Qualified to Be a Christian?

If you had to prepare a resume to enter God's kingdom of heaven, what qualifications would you list? Greg talks about our Christian credentials -- what really qualifies us to be Christians. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0258.mp3    

All Show and No Go

Sometimes cars look sleek, fast and powerful, but are gutless wonders — all show and no go. Religion does that — it makes us more concerned with what people see and think about us than with the real substance of authentic Christianity — a one-on-one relationship with God.

Breakfast With Jesus

Jesus called the disciples to be fishers of men, but after his crucifixion they returned to their past, catching fish. Jesus gave them a miraculous catch of fish, made breakfast for them and said, in effect, there's no turning back.

Too Good To Be True?

Mortality has its way -- we age, strength ebbs, self assurance fades, we sense how temporary this life is and begin to focus on eternity. God told Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

3 Levels of Christianity

Are you just barely getting by as a Christian? Do you feel you're swimming upstream? Greg uses cockroachs, squirrels and eagles as analogies of three levels of Christianity.

The Dangers of Externalism

Externalism is the idea that doing things enhances our relationship with God.  But is that true -- does doing things gain God's favor? https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0384.mp3

Hypocrisy to Reality

Do you sometimes feel like you're playing a religious game?  Do you do things that you think will appease God and then other times try to cover up other things you've done so God won't discover you?  This program will help you "get real." https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0377.mp3

Rules and Religion

In this tongue in cheek program Greg tells you how you can start a religion -- after all, many others have.  In this talk Greg illustrates the pitfalls and potholes of religion for authentic Christians. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0376.mp3

Christian Freedom

Galatians 5:1 tells each of us that freedom is available to us if we accept it.  "It's for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."  You can be free in Christ. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0375.mp3

Standing Firm in God’s Grace – Part 2

Can a Christian live anyway they like, walk on the wild side, live a permissive and immoral lifestyle and say they are justified in doing so because of God's grace?  Is it possible they really are in Christ?  How can they be saved if all of the evidence is to the contrary? https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0339.mp3

Standing Firm in God’s Grace – Part 1

In Galatians 5 Paul tells us to stand firm and not let ourselves be bound again in a yoke of slavery.  What is this yoke of slavery Paul is talking about, and what does standing firm in God's grace mean?  This is a critically important subject for Christians. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0338.mp3

The 10 Commandments — Required for Christians?

Mentioning the term, "ten commandments" guarantees a reaction. Some feel we need them as a guide for living -- others do not. That brings up the question, "Are the ten commandments required for Christians?" The answer to that question is important. Be sure to listen. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0374.mp3

High Risk Grace

One of the biggest objections many have to God's grace is where they think it leads?  Do you know where it leads?  Do you fully understand the implications of the grace God offers us? https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0354.mp3

Prayer – Jesus’ Example
