James Kaddis

Did Jesus Actually Say That? Part 2

August 17, 2023

Maybe you’ve noticed sometimes you can be doing all the right things, living a godly life, and yet peace or harmony in a relationship is absent!  Perhaps someone is no longer speaking to you because of your stand for righteousness!  Today pastor James explains that we live in a dark world that hates the message of Christ.  And as followers of Christ, we can expect the world to hate us too.  At times that leads to division.  

References: Matthew 10:27-42

Today on Light on the Hill we take you to Matthew chapter ten, verses twenty-seven to forty-two.  After reading this section, you might be left puzzled by what appears to be a major contradiction.  But as you dig deeper with pastor James Kaddis, you’ll realize that it’s not a contradiction, rather it’s a life changing insight that will significantly encourage you in your relationship with the Lord.

You take a stand against abortion on social media, and receive a ton of hateful statements in the comments section!  Or you share Jesus with a loved one and are met with hostility!  Today on Light on the Hill we’ll learn that the world will hate and reject us when we share truth or stand up for righteousness.  But this shouldn’t surprise us, as Jesus said this would happen.  He likens us to sheep in the midst of wolves.  But the good news is we have a Good Shepherd watching over us.

In Matthew chapter ten, Jesus tells His disciples they’re going out into the world as sheep amongst the wolves.  And they’re to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves!   At first glance that may leave you a little confused.  But if you look at the context and language, you’ll be able to see what the Lord is communicating to us.  Pastor James Kaddis says if you’ll follow this challenge of Christ it will change your life!

You’re in for a real treat today as we’ve invited Don Stewart to join us on the program.  James and Don will be answering some excellent questions in rapid-fire fashion.  Maybe you’ve wondered is it acceptable for Christians to be cremated?  Is there such a thing as UFO’s or aliens?  Tune in for the answers.

We’re going through Matthew right now, and about to get back into chapter ten.  Get ready to receive your marching orders from Jesus.  You’ll come to realize that we need to do what God says and need His power to do it!

There’s a great lie that satan is spreading concerning man's purpose. Today our children are being raised up with the ideal that there is no purpose in their life. God says different. He gives us purpose, instruction, and even power to accomplish all He has planned for us! There's one caveat; we must do it HIS way!  That’s the message in front of us today on Light on the Hill, as pastor James Kaddis opens Matthew chapter ten.

You may have noticed when it comes to ministry there’s a lot of work to do, but not enough workers to do it!  Pastor James Kaddis says this isn’t the time to be sitting around.  It’s time for action!  Today on Light on the Hill we’ll hear Jesus commissioning His disciples, and it’s the same call that goes out to followers of Christ today.  You’ll also learn that He equips us for the work before us too.

You may not be aware of this, but God calls every Christian to make disciples. You can be sure it will involve quite a bit of patience, love, endurance, and kindness. The problem is that most people won't ever get to this step because they are intimidated by or discouraged at the very thought of telling someone about Christ. This is often rooted in the fear of rejection or the notion that nobody wats to hear it!  The truth is, there are more opportunities for bringing people to Christ than there are individuals willing to step up and follow the call!  Join pastor James Kaddis in Matthew chapter nine as he delivers part one of, “Time for Action!”

Matthew chapter nine, verses 27-34, records two blind men coming to Jesus and crying out for mercy and healing!  The Lord took notice of their faith and healed them.  God showed up in a big way, and pastor James is about to reveal why.  These blind men said, “Thou Son of David, have mercy on us!”  Today pastor James explains what that is communicating to us.
