Homosexuality -- The Breakdown

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Friday, July 18, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Today, we return to a series we started earlier this year; a series built around the culture's insistence on redefining marriage and family. In April and May, we looked at God's original design or picture for marriage, and the distortions to that picture through divorce and abuse. Today, we turn our attention to the further distortion to God's plan as we look at the issue of homosexuality.
Hope For Today featured speaker Jim Shaddix begins the 3rd partition of this series entitled "Perversion of the Picture ? Distorting God's Design". As the evangelical church seeks to find the correct response to the issues of homosexuality, Jim directs our attention to the fact that the bible calls for a balanced response of both condemnation and compassion; both are essential elements of biblical forgiveness and love. Today, he looks at 1rst Corinthians, chapter 6 to underscore the fact that a truly balanced response begins with the honest recognition of ALL sin. I Corinthians 6

High Definition Worship

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, July 17, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Horatio Spafford, the writer of the beloved hymn "It Is Well With My Soul", was no stranger to tragedy. After experiencing the devastation of the great Chicago fire, and worse yet, the loss of his four daughters on the high seas, you might think that worship would be difficult if not impossible for this man. And yet, his absolute faith in a strong, unshakable God, yielded an awesome hymn of worship still in use 136 years later. On Hope For Today, Dr. Jim Shaddix concludes the message "High Definition Worship", and reaffirms the fact that our walking through even the darkest of journeys, can still be an expression of worship. Psalm 42

High Definition Worship

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix With the technology involved in high definition TV, all aspects of transmission and reception must be just right in order to get the "full effect". Is there a similar correlation with worship? Must all elements of worship be just right in order to get the "full effect"? On Hope For Today, Pastor Jim Shaddix of the Riverside church in Denver, uses the familiar passages of Psalm 42 as a backdrop for those times when worship just doesn?t come easy; when the storms of life push the desire to worship far from us. Please join us as Jim continues the message "High Definition Worship". Psalm 42

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix On yesterday's broadcast, we made a connection between our service to Christ and His church as being a part of our worship. And yet, every church has many, many regular members who have yet to make this realization. On our program today, featured speaker Dr. Jim Shaddix resumes the message "High Definition Worship", and continues to make a case for our involvement in God's mission, both at home and abroad. Thank you for joining us here at Hope For Today on OnePlace. Matthew 28

High Definition Worship

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Monday, July 14, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Some contemporary approaches to worship can bring all types of bells and whistles to the place of worship. But that doesn't necessarily guarantee the glory of God will be seen, OR that He will be worshipped in truth. Putting it another way, there is more to the worship of God than what occurs in our churches on a given Sunday. On Hope For Today, Riverside senior pastor Dr. Jim Shaddix turns to Matthew chapter 28, as he resumes his "High Definition Worship" series. Please join us as Jim explains how we cannot be true worshippers, if we are not a people who are engaged in God's larger mission or plan for the ages. We must heed the call to come out of the stands and get onto the playing field. Matthew 28

High Definition Worship

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Friday, July 11, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Yesterday we learned that the bible is a primary means of displaying the glory of God. Psalm 19 is a classic illustration of that fact. On Hope For Today, featured speaker and teaching pastor Jim Shaddix resumes his look at Psalm 19 as he continues the message "High Definition Worship". Today, Jim underscores the value and necessity of living by God's word. The basic truth for us as worshippers, is that we can't respond to the glory of God if we are not people of His word. Psalm 19

Thursday, July 10, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Today we begin a brief series originally preached by Pastor Shaddix at the Glorietta Conference Center in New Mexico.

Please join us here at Hope For Today on OnePlace, as Jim references Psalm 19 as the guide to a high definition look at God?s glory. Psalm 19

Monday, July 7, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Last week, we began the 2nd message in our series on stewardship; a message entitled "Serving God, Not Serving Stuff".

Friday, July 4, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Within the opening comments in each of these messages on stewardship, featured speaker Dr. Jim Shaddix mentions some very sobering statistics; statistics that vividly point to the need for a better understanding of financial priorities and disciplines.

Thursday, July 3, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Continuing in his message entitled "Pay Me Now Or Pay Me Later", Riverside teaching pastor Jim Shaddix focuses on the principle of giving for reward, NOT for recognition.

Pay Me Now Or Pay Me Later

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Today, we begin a brief series on a subject that effects most of us in the new testament, evangelical church; stewardship.

Managing Your Money By the Sermon On the Mount". Matt 6

Preparing For Opposition

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, July 1, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Yesterday, we heard two fundamental truths in why people are reluctant to share Christ; fear of rejection, and non-preparation for opposition. Is there a way to overcome these problem areas? Join us here on Hope For Today at OnePlace as Pastor Jim Shaddix concludes the message "Preparing For Opposition", and shares the time-honored solution practiced since the time of the original disciples; logging time with Jesus. Act 4: 1-22

Preparing For Opposition

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Monday, June 30, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Opposition to the gospel is nothing new. In fact, there was opposition to the gospel even as the words were being proclaimed by Jesus Himself. Many Christians know this from a historical perspective, but yet are not personally prepared for opposition or "pushback" when it comes at them. On this edition of Hope For Today, featured speaker Jim Shaddix addresses this issue as he begins the message "Preparing For Opposition" the last message in our intentional discipleship series. Act 4: 1-22

Seizing Daily Opportunities

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Friday, June 27, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix The responsibility of sharing one's faith...or witnessing. We know that it is both a responsibility and a privilege we are given as believers in Jesus Christ. It is also a component of our being true disciples. On this edition of Hope For Today, Riverside teaching pastor Jim Shaddix concludes the message "Seizing Daily Opportunities", and brings seven application truths that significantly raise our understanding in this critical, personal mission arena. Acts 3: 1-26

Seizing Daily Opportunities

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, June 26, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Continuing on in this message that focuses on our awareness and responsibility in sharing Christ, teaching pastor Jim Shaddix reminds us of the importance in keeping "the main thing" the main thing. While it is not always easy to be a witness, it is easy to get off track and think that the end result is because of something we?ve said or done, not thinking about Who is really at work in the situation. Thanks for joining us here on Hope For Today at OnePlace. Acts 3: 1-26

Seizing Daily Opportunities

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix Due to a wide range of events both locally and worldwide, the term "Search and Rescue" is one we?ve been hearing a lot of lately. Not only does the phrase apply to disasters and traumatic events, it also transcends to a large part of our motivation in sharing Jesus Christ. On this edition of Hope For Today, featured speaker Jim Shaddix concludes the message "Seizing Daily Opportunities", and reminds us once again that lost people are not the enemy, but in many ways, can be described in the same terms as those who have endured a natural or manmade disaster. Acts 3: 1-26

Seizing Daily Opportunities

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix If you joined us last week and yesterday as well, you know that our current emphasis in intentional discipleship is "going as His witness". We've talked about the need to take on this task not just as believers, but as Spirit-filled believers. Now, let's look at opportunity. On this edition of Hope For Today, teaching pastor Jim Shaddix begins the message "Seizing Daily Opportunities", and as the title implies, reminds us that sharing Christ is not a once and done event in life, but is a large part of our daily journey. Acts 3: 1-26

Filling Up On God's Spirit

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EST

Monday, June 23, 2008 Host: Dr. Jim Shaddix On this edition of Hope For Today, we'll conclude the message "Filling Up On God's Spirit". Very few believers, if any, are natural born witnesses for Christ. Many of us are consumed by timidity or fear when it comes to the topic of openly sharing our faith with others. Perhaps you've never thought it through, but did you ever consider the presence of spiritual warfare as the reason behind these feelings? Join us again today as Jim reminds of the Resource...the Asset we have in God's Holy Spirit. Acts 1:4-8
