Wisdom from Above Dr. Harlan Betz

Enoch walked with God... and he never died! God took him up to Heaven alive! Enoch was one, of only two men, who experienced this amazing living translation from earth to heaven.

In this episode of Wisdom from Above, we will examine the importance of walking with God and we will discover the strategy for walking with God.

I close this episode with a plea, a promise and a prayer.

Greetings Wisdom from Above podcast friends.

This podcast looks at Abel, the son of Adam and Eve, who was murdered by his own brother. But the focus of this episode is on Abel's faith.

In this episode we will discover that there are only two kinds of religion in the world. Join us and find out which religion you are part of in your life. It makes all the difference in the world... and in eternity. What is your destiny?

The Hall of Faith is found in Hebrews chapter eleven. This chapter shares the stories of men and women from the Old Testament who lived by faith!

Before the author shares the stories of these men and women who lived by faith, the author wants us to understand the true meaning of faith. This episode of Wisdom from Above will examine the anatomy of faith... as found in the first three verses of Hebrews chapter eleven.

There are two aspects to bull riding. The first aspect is easy... you just have to sit down. The second aspect is hard... you have to try to stay on.

There are two aspects to faith. The first aspect is easy,,, we just trust in what Christ did for us on the cross in paying the penalty for our sins and rising from the dead. That is justification. The second aspect is hard... we are to trust in Christ in the midst of our daily trials and troubles and we are to follow Him faithfully even if it entails troubles and trials. That is sanctification.

In this first episode of season 11, the author of Hebrews issues three challenges to help believers to live by faith in the midst of those troubles and trials.

Most people are not asking, "Is Jesus Real?" Obviously He is real. There are thousands of documents verifying his historicity. The question people are asking is this: "Is Jesus relevant?" What difference does a man who lived 2,000 years ago make in our lives?

In order to answer that question we will dig into the seven "I AM" claims that Jesus made that are recorded in the Gospel of John.

No one is exempt from trials. Hurts and heartaches, disease and death, troubles and trials... are all part of this sin-cursed world. The curse on sin has impacted our planet with destructive storms, our ground with thorns and thistles, our work with pressure and problems, our relationships with difficulties and divisions, and our bodies with diseases and death. 

How can we endure such heartaches? This episode of Wisdom from Above will examine three truths we must cling to in times of trouble.
