Help With A Difficult Obedience 01.06.2026 47min

And because every difficult obedience is resourced and rewarded by the Lord Himself. Open your Bible and get ready to receive the help Jesus gives when following Him is hard. Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.

The Glory of Love 18.05.2026 34min

Love. It heals what is broken. It carries you where you need to go. It restores what you thought was lost. “Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:8 But what does love actually look like when it costs you something? When serving feels beneath you? When those closest to you will soon disappoint you? Turn to John 13 for the true glory of love.

That's Not What A Kiss Is For 11.05.2026 52min

Betrayal is deepest when the betrayer is closest. Judas kissed Jesus… then handed Him over. Hidden in that moment are the principles of betrayal, what causes it, why it cuts so deeply – and how Christ responded with total purity.

And Finally 23.03.2026 1h 3min

Who else prefers when things are finished, wrapped up, settled? But we don’t live in a finished world. Wrongs go unanswered. Evil seems unchecked. People celebrate what destroys them. And it wears on you. If you’ve been thinking, “This isn’t how it’s supposed to be,” you’re right. Revelation 20 is our future.

An Autopsy of "My Way" 09.03.2026 50min

If Revelation 17 was the death of world religion, Revelation 18 is the autopsy. Regardless of whether it appears to be spiritual or moral, false religion is still self rule. Anything built on “my way” will eventually collapse. Following Jesus is the exact opposite – He must increase, I must decrease. Listen to this teaching in Revelation 18 and ask the Spirit to search your heart. Is Christ truly on the throne, or is self still calling the shots?

Comprehending the Wrath of God 23.02.2026 52min

It’s common to hear from people, when discussing their views of faith and religion, “I cannot accept the idea of a God of wrath!” In reality, the concept is biblical and helps us make sense of why the world is as messed up as it is. Even more importantly, the knowledge of the coming wrath of God prepares us to speak with wisdom and grace toward those for whom it is their only future, should they die without Christ. I challenge you to watch this message, with an open heart, in its entirety.

Making Love Expressive 16.02.2026 46min

Love doesn’t sustain commitment – commitment shapes love. Where you choose faithfulness, patience and you-before-me, love grows. Where you neglect those essentials, love fades. If you or someone you love carries the pain of a broken relationship, or the tension of one on the brink – or longing for the right person, turn to the Song of Solomon. Because healthy love is formed long before a wedding day ever comes, and lasting love can be rediscovered!

Will You Worship the Antichrist…? 02.02.2026 49min

FACT: Overconfidence will take you down.Not because you’re weak, but because pride makes you think you’re stronger than you are.Confidence in the Lord = good! Confidence in yourself = bad.

And the consequences can be eternal.Let’s open the mirror of God’s Word to Revelation 13… Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.

Winning the Only Battle that Matters 26.01.2026 48min

Life is full of conflict. We fight over words, opinions, preferences, schedules, traffic, sports – countless matters that demand our energy. But the danger is not in losing some of those battles.
