Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco (Audio‪)‬ Daniel Fusco

There’s a saying: “God won’t allow more in your life than you can handle”. This is a common way of thinking in much of the Church today. Lots of the Church, though, is going through serious persecution today – more than any time in history. So, where’s God in their situation? Pastor Daniel will be talking about the role that hard times and difficulties can play in the life of the Christ follower and what God is trying to teach in those moments of life.

It’s a human tendency to think that the beliefs we hold must be the correct ones; after all, we believe them! However, since we aren’t God, we don’t know all of the correct things to believe. This causes problems when we learn that our friend doesn’t hold the exact same thoughts that we have. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the danger of compromise. He also will speak on the need to be gracious to those who don’t think like we do on issues.

It’s so hard to understand God’s grace and mercy, especially when we’re in the midst of falling short of His best for us. We want to beat ourselves up and hang our heads; He wants us to get back up and move forward. But when we choose to continue sinning, there will be consequences. Pastor Daniel will talk about the warnings that Jesus had given this church over their letting in false teachings, and what He promised to do if they didn’t change their ways.

There are times, especially when we’re put under social or legal pressure when we’re tempted to make decisions that go against our moral beliefs. These might have small effects on our lives; sometimes, worse consequences result. Pastor Daniel will be teaching about the church at Pergamos, who had made doctrinal compromises and was being called out on it by Jesus Himself. You’ll learn what He had to say and the warnings He had for them.

You’ve misjudged someone before, haven’t you? We all have. You’ll see someone who looks like they’re the last person you’d want to be around who turns out to be kind and humble. And you’ve met a person who seems like you’d want to befriend but turns out to be mean and vindictive. Pastor Daniel will be teaching from the book of Revelation about a church that seemed to have it going on but Jesus saw something different there.

That’s the point, though. Everybody goes through hard times; some people experience tragedies. And since everyone is unique, their feelings as they navigate through difficulties are unique, too. But what is universal for everyone, as Pastor Daniel will be teaching today, is that Jesus does know how you feel. He felt the weight of every sin, of every wrong done by one to another. And He can provide the comfort that you need to cope with your hardship.
