We broadcast this show for a year on a network of
stations around the U.S. Since moving to a exclusively
itinerant ministry, we no longer have the consistent
content necessary to do a weekly show, but you can hear
all the archives here. |

(MP3)
- What is faith, why does God require it
rather than something else and how do you
know you have it? Don addresses those
questions and more in this sermon.
(MP3)
- Why does God give us all those rules?
Don's answer may surprise you.
(MP3)
- We've heard a lot about how unprepared
everyone was for Hurricane Katrina and the
9-11 attacks. There is an even more
important event coming that we need to be
ready for: The return of Jesus. Don explains
that this event is more like a terrorist
attack than a hurricane and we should
prepare accordingly. Find out what that
means in this talk.
(The September 10 show was
a rebroadcast of "The Peril of False Assurance."
You can find a link for that sermon below.)
(MP3)

God gave the Ten Commandments.
(MP3)

the same strategy to try and bring down the
children of God.
(MP3)

between the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), the
giving of the law on Mount Sinai and the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2.
(MP3)
- Brandon explains Jesus' answer
to the question, "What is the
greatest commandment?"
(MP3)

Inspiration? Morals? Comfort? Don explains

and then he gives some suggestions about
where to find it.
June 11, 2006
(MP3)
- The story of David and Goliath is about
much more than God defeating the giants in
your life. As Brandon explains, it is a
theological battle.
June 4, 2006
(MP3)
- Are you ready to meet God? Don explains
some things to be aware of before that
happens.

God's Top Priority
(MP3)
April 23, 2006
The Big Prize
(MP3)
- Would you expect to receive all the
rewards that go with winning the Tour de
France without actually taking part in the
race? Then why do so many people think they
will receive the biggest prize of all,
Heaven, without ever having taken part in
that race?
April 16, 2006
Mercy? Jesus Be
Serious?: The Good Life Part 4
(MP3)
- Jesus says that the only people who will
ultimately receive mercy from God are those who are
merciful towards others. Can that be right? Is there
a loophole somewhere? Don explains just how serious
Jesus is.
April 9, 2006
The Importance of
Righteousness: The Good Life Part 3
(MP3)
April 2, 2006
Blessed Are The
Meek?: The Good Life Part 2
(MP3)

with weakness. As Don explains, the reality of the
situation is exactly the opposite.
March 26, 2006
When It's OK To Be
Down and Out: The Good Life Part 1
(MP3)
- Everybody's chasing after the good life.
Unfortunately, many of us are completely wrong about
what it looks like. Don shares Jesus' take on the
subject in this message, which is part one of four
in a series on the Beatitudes.
- Don showed
this graph to illustrate the sermon. You may
find it helpful as you listen.

Trusting God When
Life Sucks
(MP3)
- The problem of a God who allows pain and
suffering has been called the only theological topic
worth discussing. How can we trust that God is good
when bad things happen? Here Don explains how we can
praise God, even when life sucks.
March 12, 2006
A Picture of
Success: Meditations of the Life of Stephen
(MP3)
- How do our images of success compare with God's?
In this sermon on the life of Stephen, Don contrasts
worldly notions of success with what we find in the
Bible.
March 5, 2006
The Peril of False
Assurance
(MP3)
- Polls show that over 90 percent of Americans
think they are going to go to Heaven when they die.
Don explains why he thinks a large percentage of
these people are wrong.
February 26, 2006
The Gospel
According to John
(MP3)
- Churches commonly treat Jesus as a
product by "selling" Him to seekers. This
sermon from John 20 critiques that trend.
February 19, 2006
The Number One Thing
You Should Know About God
(MP3)
- You might have heard that the number one thing
to know about God is that He loves you. Don doesn't
think so.
February 12, 2006
The Comfort Trap
(MP3)
February 5, 2006
Heaven
- Ever wondered what Heaven will be like? Do you
have a sneaking suspicion that you might not like
it? Do you have visions of being stuck in a boring
church service or strumming a harp while floating on
a cloud for the rest of eternity? This sermon is for
you.
(MP3)
- What does Winston Churchill have in
common with Jesus? Find out in this sermon.
(MP3)
- Why did God create the universe? Why did
He send Jesus to redeem a fallen planet?
Majority opinion would suggest that it was
motivated by His love for humans, but, as
Don explains, there is more to the story
than that.
(MP3)
- Even in an age of unparalleled
affluence, people are not content. They are
living empty and meaningless, always on the
hunt for something more. All the while, as
Don explains, the answer to their quest is
right in front of their face.
- Many movie reviewers have taken issue
with the theology of The Chronicles of
Narnia. Don discusses whether or not Aslan
can properly be understood as a picture of
Jesus.
True Love
(MP3)
- Looking for a New Year's resolution? Don
suggests that we learn what the Bible really
means when it talks about love. (Here is a
hint: It has almost nothing to do with
emotion.)
December 25, 2005
When Jesus Was Actually Born
(And What It Means)
(MP3)
- Don argues that Jesus
was probably born in the
fall, during the Jewish
Festival of Tabernacles, and
explains why this is so
significant to us today.
Jesus and
Johnny Cash
(MP3)
- Johnny Cash, sinner,
saint or both? Don talks
about what we can learn from
the great singer's life.
(This program was not
broadcast in the Los Angeles
market. The Christmas show that
aired on KKLA will be posted on
this site next week as it airs
next Sunday in the rest of the
country.)
Does What You Believe Matter?
(MP3)
- Don discusses the notion
that beliefs and doctrine
are irrelevant and
unnecessary in religion.
What Satan Doesn't Want You To
Know About Yourself
(MP3)
- Is mankind's problem
really low self-esteem? Are
we basically good? Satan
would like you to think so,
but as Don explains, that is
not the biblical position.
November 27, 2005
What It Means To Be a Disciple of Jesus
(MP3)
- Brandon Ridley explains the
Biblical notion of discipleship and
how that differs from our common
understanding.
November 20, 2005
Is
God Actually Good?
(MP3)
- We may not often talk about it
using these words, but, as Don
explains, the major reason people
don't develop the radical faith fund
in the Bible is that they don't
believe God is actually good. This
message is also called "How to
Develop Radical Faith."
November 13, 2005
Faith Works
(MP3)
- Don taught last week that "good
works" won't get you into Heaven,
but does being "saved by grace" mean
that you can just ride your easy
chair through life, not doing
anything? Nope.
November 6, 2005
(MP3)
- Many people approach
life as if they are going to
show up at the pearly gates,
hand God a list of good
deeds they have done and be
welcomed into Heaven. Don
shows from scripture what
mistaken notion this is
October 30, 2005
Sin Is No Big Deal, Right?
(MP3)
- Ever wondered whatever happened
to sin? It's not talked about much
anymore, mostly because nobody
thinks it is of any consequence. Don
disagrees.
