God’s Hands on Human Clay

As we anticipate the days, months, and years to come, we have to admit we remain clueless as to what will happen on any given day.

In God’s Hands on Human Clay, Chuck Swindoll explains the treasured truth that most Christians overlook as the unknown future approaches: God is sovereign. As we encounter life’s trials, we can remain confident that the Potter, who causes all things to work for our good, kneads and reshapes us to fashion something beautiful, useful, and practical. Even though the future remains unclear, we can be certain nothing touches our lives unless it has first flowed through the “molding” fingers of our loving God.

Holiday Message 2014

Thinking deeply at Christmas can be difficult. Shopping for presents, decorating the tree with tinsel, family get-togethers, and holiday parties sometimes crowd out the real meaning behind Christmas.

Probing Deeper Into the Incarnation will remind you that before Mary placed baby Jesus in the manger, He existed in heaven with God the Father and God the Spirit. The Son of God became a man and eventually gave up His own life to prove His love for you—and to make it possible for you to love Him in return.

Listener Favorites, Volume 2

What do you spend most of your time doing? Ask a wide range of people, and two answers would inevitably rise to the surface: parenting and working. With so much time and energy devoted to these two areas, we need to take extra care to think well about what it means to be a good parent and how we can best serve as a good worker. These six messages from Chuck Swindoll take us to the heart of life as a parent and as a worker. Addressing issues such as shaping the wills of our children, seeking forgiveness from kids when we’ve failed them, and infusing our work with wisdom, this series will prove to be a vital help on the journey toward making all our moments count for Christ.

New Testament Postcards

Don’t Lose God’s Postcards in the Junk Mail of Lies

In a world where fiction about God is presented as fact and where lies often overshadow the truth, we need a fresh reminder from God’s Word to strengthen our faith. The New Testament includes four “postcards”—short but powerful—that help us stand firm in what we believe.

The postcards—Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude—address some of the most important issues for Christians today, such as forgiveness, generosity, and discernment, as well as the foundational tenets of our faith—the person, work, and supremacy of Jesus Christ. Join Chuck Swindoll as he shares the hope-filled message of grace through Christ contained in these postcards. The New Testament Postcards: A Study of Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude CD series will prepare you to better understand and live out your faith.

Living Portraits of the Church

We need one another . . . even if we don’t always want to admit it. Human beings were made to thrive in relationships—with God and with people. And yet we are often tempted to ignore God’s unique communal design for those who follow Christ: the church.

But what is the church, and what is our place in it? The Bible uses a variety of metaphors to describe Christ’s church. In this series, Chuck Swindoll explains four of those metaphors: a growing family, a dependent flock, a functioning body, and the branches of a flourishing vine. This series will help take us beyond understanding how God desires us to be in community. It will show us how it can happen.

Adventuring With God

The Book of Acts

The writer of the book of Hebrews said, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.”

Faith played a critical role in the early church; God’s hand was constantly at work in the book of Acts. By faith in God and through the power of the Holy Spirit, the church took root and grew boldly and boundlessly. The Christian life was an adventure!

We have that same Holy Spirit at work in our lives today. What serendipitous adventures might God have in store for us? We can trust God while “Being Transformed” and expect God’s movement as we are “Prevailing through Prayer,” even in seemingly impossible circumstances. Consider this series by Chuck Swindoll a catalyst to submitting your life to the adventure of faith God has in store for you.

The Sanctity of Life . . . The Inescapable Issue

Our culture is at war—a quiet war against the most innocent and powerless in our society: the unborn. The tapestry of human life, woven by the hand of God, is being unraveled in the name of convenience. Abortion not only ends the lives of unborn babies, it can devastate the lives of those mothers and fathers who have chosen to have an abortion, often leaving them with depression, guilt, and regret. But God offers hope . . .

Join Chuck Swindoll as he addresses the sensitive topic of abortion—how God’s Word speaks to the issue, how to recover from an abortion, and how to devote oneself to a life of purity. Gain courage to honor God and to uphold the sanctity of life in a godless culture.
