The Living Word is the podcast ministry of Danny Hodges, pastor of Calvary Chapel Fellowship in St. Pete Florida.
Trust Jesus
If God calls you on to a mission, don’t insult Him by resisting with silly excuses. As Pastor Danny will point out in today’s message, Moses did exactly that. This man experienced in a way that very few ever have. God spoke right to him and worked miracles in his life and yet when God set a task before him he trembled in fear, afraid of his own failure. When God calls you to do something he equips and enables you for it, so trust in Him, not in your own understanding or strengths.

The Thorn of Flesh
God does not take our pride lightly. He sees our hearts and has witnessed every thought and action we’ve participated in. In today’s message, as Pastor Danny continues our study in 1 Peter he’ll remind us of the importance of humility as we approach our powerful and loving father. His grace is immense and He went to extreme lengths to demonstrate that for us, but He is also just. And if you abuse His grace, especially by taking advantage of others, you can expect the consequences to be pretty harsh.

Humility and Wisdom
Christians are just as susceptible to sin as anybody else. Because we know the law and are in a relationship with God we will probably be even under more attack at the hands of the enemy. But temptations will come in stronger and they will be harder to resist. it can be done but the fact is that you’re not always going to make the right choice. in today’s message, Pastor Danny will encourage us to approach this life with humility and wisdom. You need to know your weaknesses and not be afraid to ask for help.

Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering are a part of the Christian journey. If you haven’t experienced them in some form, you might need to question if you are actually following Jesus. He doesn’t take pleasure in your pain but He does know that you grow from it. When your faith is tested, that is when it becomes deeper and stronger. As Pastor Danny will encourage us in today’s message, as counterintuitive as it is, finds moments of joy in your suffering. Thank God for the chance to live out your faith in a real way!

Faith and Commitment
Love is a choice that you make. It’s not something that is simply there or not completely outside of your control. This is true in every relationship you have, especially with your spouse if you are married. The passion of dating isn’t going to last forever. That man or woman won’t always be young. Their looks are going to change, their personality and character are also going to change and so will yours. In today’s message, Pastor Danny will remind us that deep true love requires faith and commitment. You don’t just fall into it.

A Life of Prayer
Prayer connects us to our Heavenly Father. If you’re living in isolation from Him, even after asking Him to save your soul, you can expect your flesh to maintain a destructive hold on you. Sins that have plagued you for years will continue to plague you and might even grow worse. It might be hard to hear but you can’t blame God for that. As Pastor Danny will challenge you in today’s message, if you want to start living a purposeful, successful spiritual life then you need to commit to time in prayer.

Repentance
What does it mean to be repentant? In today’s message from Pastor Danny, he explains to you the meaning of repentance. Repentance means to turn from the simple way that you were going and turn back to following Jesus. It’s making an about-face from the darkness back into the light. Pastor Danny encourages you that repentance is such a great and healing thing. It’s coming back to the Lord whose arms are outstretched to you. It’s coming into the healing and wholeness god has for you.

Fear Factor
Fear is false evidence appearing real. As you listen to today’s message from Pastor Danny, he shares with you the truth that everyone experiences fear, but the Bible tells you not to fear. So how is that possible? God is with you no matter what the circumstances are, or who you encounter. He’s greater than anything that you’ll face. Everything. Pastor Danny encourages you to spend time with the Lord and voice to Him your cares and concerns, then let Him give you the reassurance you need.

Relationship Realities
Are you leaning on the Lord for the strength within your marriage? In today’s message from Pastor Danny, he reassures you that all marriages take work. They’re not something that you can just expect to have no problems in. Any relationship takes sacrifice and commitment. Pastor Danny encourages you to turn to the Lord for wisdom, strength, and discernment. If you’re experiencing a rough season within your relationship, then tell Him about it. He’ll equip you with the encouragement, the words, and the tenacity to keep going.
