James MacDonald: Walk in the Word Audio

Hanging on to the past can keep us from seeing and receiving God`s best for us. As we kick off the New Year, it`s time to let go of anything that`s holding you back. As James MacDonald teaches from Philippians 3, you`ll discover how to let bygones be bygones and strive towards what is ahead.

Want 2017 to be your best year ever? It will not happen because of your job, or the fact that you lost a couple pounds. To have the best year of your life, you'll need some biblical truth and a willingness to let bygones by bygones.

While many things in life will change, one thing remains certain: Christ will return. Are you prepared for the Day of the Lord? It`s an important question to consider. In this message, James MacDonald teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 and shows how we can hold on to hope.

It`s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose focus on the fact that Christ is coming again. But one day we will all be surprised as our Lord returns for His own. In this message, you`ll be encouraged to regain your focus on the imminent return of Christ, and all that His return will bring with it.

The Day of the Lord is certain, and it will shock the unprepared. Many who feel safe and secure will find their self-assurance destroyed and their opportunity to turn from sin over. But for God`s people, that Day is a completely different story - and believers must wake up and look up to all the hope it brings. Find out how to cast off common crutches and lean on the only source of salvation.

Jesus Christ is coming again. That`s the great hope of the church. In this message, you`ll learn some key facts about the rapture, while you discover how letting go of your own desires for the future and embracing the truth about Jesus can fill you with perfect joy.

Get off life`s roller coaster and lift your eyes to see what is absolutely certain: Jesus Christ is coming again. This is the great hope of the church. When you know it, believe it, and look for it, you can be encouraged by it. And, as Paul tells the Thessalonians, you can encourage other believers with this confident expectation.

Year after year, `Silent Night` is one of the most popular Christmas songs sung in churches and homes around the world. In this message, James MacDonald takes us to Luke chapter 2 to uncover the biblical truth behind this famous carol.

Getting the most out of the classic carols means more than singing them at Christmastime. When we look beneath the surface, it turns out there are biblical messages waiting to be explored.

`Hark! The Herald Angels Sing` is a well-known carol full of rich language straight from God`s Word. Join Pastor James as he examines the biblical grounds for this popular Christmas tune.

The reason Christmas carols like Joy to the World have survived for hundreds of years, is that they convey profound, eternal truth. In this message, James MacDonald shows the relationship between this classic hymn and Psalm 98.

The popular carol `Joy to the World,` is about so much more than the first Christmas. It points us to `the rest of Christmas` - the day when our Savior will reign as King. As you celebrate the first advent of Christ, don`t lose sight of His return. Look forward to the future fulfillment of God`s promises as you rejoice in His first and second coming.

Right now, if you are a child of God, Jesus is praying for you. Just as He did in the Garden of Gethsemane, He continues to approach His Father on your behalf. God`s will in your life is not dependent on your ability to offer suggestions in prayer; Jesus Christ always knows exactly what to say. Find out the five things He prays for, why they are important, and the essential doctrines of this passage that need to be believed, defended, and applied.

In the Lord`s Prayer, Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, and did so in a manner that is still relevant for us today. This message from James MacDonald will increase your confidence that God hears, answers, and can change your life through prayer.

Even if you think you have it figured out, this message will check both your method and your motivation for prayer. James MacDonald takes you through seven questions to assess your prayer life and shows you how to turn up the power of personal prayer.
