Today we begin a short series on Joshua, the human hero in his section of history. He is a remarkable man and much of the time we see Joshua as a prophetic symbol of the coming Jesus. (Joshua 3:1-17)Oleh True Foundations

We do not have what it takes and sometimes do not know what we need or what we should be praying for. However, because we have the Spirit of God within us, He connects us to the very nature of who God is. Where we lack, He does not. Where we are weak, He is strong. When we have questions, He has the answer…and we have hope!…

David J. Jones explains that this portion of scripture is often prooftexted and that instead we should apply it to the context it is set in. He expounds on predestination, God being for us and not against, and on how there is nothing that can take away the security that we have in Christ. (Romans 8:28-39)…

Moses had all the facts he could ever need and yet he still asked the Lord to “teach me your ways.” We need to come into the presence of the Lord because we need to be changed from the inside. However, in order to be in that place, we need to have an encounter with Him. Exodus 33.12-16 12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead the…

Joseph (the earthly father of Jesus) is a man of great moral courage and is also someone who knows how to make good decisions. (Matthew 1:18-25)Oleh True Foundations

Walking by the Spirit is not a given. Allowing God to work within us is a position that is chosen; It happens when we die to the old nature and surrender our will to the will of God in every aspect of our lives. If this surrender is not generally taking place then it puts a restriction on the life and power of the body of Christ. Note: This is a re…

We tend to celebrate after something happens but the concept of celebrating is very different when it comes to the things of God. We can rejoice in the present because we can know with absolute certainty that if He has said something it will happen. Note: This is a rerun of a previous recording.Oleh True Foundations

There is a principle that each and every one of us can apply in our lives which will allow us to have influence. It should cause us to think about how we live our lives and how it impacts others. (Daniel 2:20-23)Oleh True Foundations

“…and my people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” David J.

In the wilderness, where it would seem that everything is against us, God provides us with everything we need to stand strong and overcome. (Matthew 2:13-15, Revelation 12:1-6)Oleh True Foundations

If we have been born again then something has changed radically in each and every one of us. We belong to Him. He is our Father. We are heirs. However, we can choose whether we live that way or not.Oleh True Foundations

Comments like, “if only we had more faith”, or, “if only we did xyz then we could escape things like pandemics”, ignore the truth that the people of God suffer with the people of the world and there is no distinction in that. However, suffering may mean something different for us as Christians… (This is a repeat of a teaching that took place in 202…

It is one thing to hold a set of beliefs. It is an entirely different thing to recognize why you believe those things. Understanding why you believe something is critical because you can have all the right beliefs but apply them to your life from the wrong place. (This episode is a repeat presentation.)…

Some of us have had a taste of the wonderful goodness of God. The trouble is that sometimes the taste fades into the background and we become accustomed to a lesser everyday life. However, we must always continue to seek God with all of our heart and not put boundaries on our expectations. (This episode is a repeat presentation.)…

Freedom is a very difficult concept; it’s all or nothing. You cannot be “a little bit” free. You can not be “mostly” free. You are either free or you are not. David J. Jones encourages listeners to fully embrace the new identity that is only in Christ. (This episode is a repeat presentation.)Oleh True Foundations

Today we discuss how God asks us to arise in the now and to take up our daily cross. (Isaiah 60:1-2)Oleh True Foundations

The amazing thing about Paul is that despite his education and abilities he did not approach people by his own strength. He teaches us that it’s not what we know that counts but who we know. It is about knowing Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)Oleh True Foundations

Heritage is rooted in race, history, culture, language and also in belief systems. This episode explores how the power of heritage affects people in their decision making and how it applies to the people of God. * This is a replay of an earlier teachingOleh True Foundations

In this portion of scripture Paul expresses his emotions because the Galatians have invested themselves in the practices of a pagan-like, Judaistic Christianity. They have gone back to a pagan way of thinking and Paul doesn’t know what to do about it. Is there an answer? (Note: This is a repeat airing of an earlier episode.)…

This episode continues on with the thread of Zacchaeus’s response and looks at what the gospel does for us beyond providing a clean slate. (Luke 19:1-10)Oleh True Foundations

There’s something about the human psyche that recognizes that we all fall short. This episode looks at what Jesus did when he interacted with Zacchaeus and how Zacchaeus responded as a man who recognized that he fell short. (Luke 19:1-10)Oleh True Foundations

The word violence is actually a neutral word that speaks of force and we hear how Jesus applied this force in his own ministry. Ultimately, this episode is about standing in the authority of God and declaring with power (with great force) the victory of Christ over the evil one.Oleh True Foundations

This message from Joshua 10:1-15 addresses the important topic of how to interpret the Old Testament. “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed its setting almost a full day. There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man, because the Lord fought for Israel…” Joshua 10:13-14 (HCSB) NOTE: T…

Relativism is a belief system that says there is no absolute truth; that all morality and truth exist only in relation to the culture and society of the day. What does this mean for the Christian? Please note: this episode is a rerun of a previous teaching.Oleh True Foundations

Here we see Paul speaking extreme words because the honour of Christ’s name is at stake. He sees that the people of Galatia are going down the route of ruin so he speaks strongly to them and to the false teachers who have come to cut the people off from the true gospel. Paul must speak strongly in this situation – and so must we.…

David J. Jones teaches on how the container in which we hold our beliefs (ie: the belief system or “bathtub”) is the most important thing in determining how we interpret the beliefs themselves. It acts as a critical reference point. We are asked to be sure that the things we believe are built on true foundations because when you change the foundati…

Self Determination (doing things our own way) is where we all started. It is about making choices from the place of our fallen nature rather than from a place of connection to God. In this episode David J. Jones helps us see how we can address this foundational problem.Oleh True Foundations

This episode unpacks one of the greatest fundamental issues within the human condition: desiring what a person is not entitled to because they struggle with understanding their identity. The solution is in looking to Christ to show us who we are so that we may be effective in His Kingdom.Oleh True Foundations

Division amongst believers is one of the major reasons that the world has no respect for the church. The principle reason that there is so much division in the church is because many groups of Christians try to elevate themselves over others by setting themselves apart using beliefs or areas of speciality. But there is a way to have unity in the Ch…
