Revival Radio With Pastor John Miller

If there were such a thing as a perfect church and you joined it, what would become of it then? It’s easy to look at others and find their faults, whether it’s individuals or congregations. Today, Pastor John tells of the apostle Paul’s great concern for the church at Corinth. Paul loved them and wanted them to be healthy in Christ. Yet, he knew they were human and weak. As you’d like others to extend grace to you, do the same for them. Better still, extend to them the grace that Christ extended to you. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 12 as he continues his message: Ready or Not, Here I Come.

Have you ever been entrusted with taking care of something that belonged to someone else? Maybe somebody asked you to watch over their home for a week. Maybe it was simpler, such as, “would you hold onto my book for a minute?” Today, Pastor John emphatically states that a preacher is entrusted with the Word of God. It’s not his to do with as he pleases. And as a Christian, you’re also entrusted with representing God’s Word to your friends, family, and associates. Do it with great care! Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 12 as he begins his message Ready or Not, Here I Come.

What would you do if you prayed and prayed about something, but God didn’t seem to be paying attention? Nothing happened positively or negatively. Your prayers seemed to be a fruitless exercise. Today, Pastor John reminds us that God ALWAYS answers prayer. He’s always listening to you, and He always cares about you. And He always responds to your petitions. The only tricky part is that His answer is not guaranteed to be a “yes.” It may be a “no.” But still, “no” IS an answer. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 12 as he continues his message, Thankful for the Thorn.

When you hear people talk about themselves, or read their posts on social media, how do they seem to be doing? Probably: GREAT! They’re talented, and they’re recognized for it. They just did something really special, and you ought to be jealous. Today, Pastor John shows what Paul “posted” about himself in the book of Second Corinthians: he had troubles. He had weaknesses. He had suffered. And… he was thankful for that.When you hear why, you might just be more thankful for your troubles, too.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 12 as he begins his message, Thankful for the Thorn.

The world today is in great confusion about right and wrong. A lot of people don’t even believe that such a thing exists. The answers to “what is truth” range from “whatever is true for me” to “who cares?” Today, Pastor John urges us to hold firmly to the Word of God as our only rule of life. The Bible contains everything that’s needed to live pleasing to God. It has guidance for every situation you face. It’s either explicitly spelled out or given through principles. You have a solid foundation to stand upon.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 11 as he continues his message, Paul's Foolish Boasting.

How exciting it is when two people get engaged to be married! There’s an engagement ring, a “save this date” announcement, and plans are made to begin a new life together. Today, Pastor John shows how the concepts of engagement and marriage also apply to the Christian’s relationship with Christ. The apostle Paul reminded the Corinthian church that they were engaged to Christ. And if you’re a believer in Christ, you’re engaged to Him, too. That’s a great reason to keep your eyes on Him exclusively. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 11 as he begins his message, Paul's Foolish Boasting.

When you face any situation, it usually presents itself in many dimensions. There may be physical issues, financial problems, or personal disagreements. But there is always a spiritual dimension as well. Today, Pastor John emphasizes that you must address your spiritual battles in a spiritual way. Your weapons, your tactics, and your strength must come from God. That way, if you win the battle, God gets the glory. And if it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped, God also gets the glory. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 10 as he continues his message, Victory Over the Battle.

When you read anything – whether it’s a book, a newspaper article, or something online, the first thing you want to know is who wrote it. And whether the subject is Christianity or auto mechanics, is the person qualified to write on this subject? Today, Pastor John shows us how adamantly and thoroughly the apostle Paul defended his personal qualifications and his authority from God to write his epistles. When you’re reading the Bible, you can know that it’s the ULTIMATE authority.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 10 as he begins his message, Victory Over the Battle.

There are a lot of reasons why people give money. Today, Pastor John describes three types of givers: sad givers, mad givers, and glad givers. God loves a cheerful giver. It’s interesting to note that when a farmer sows seed, if he sows a little, he reaps a little. If he sows a lot, he reaps a lot. But his attitude when sowing the seed does not effect the crop. Not so with God. He’s looking at your heart. Sowing much or little doesn’t have to do with a number; it has to do with your attitude.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 9 as he continues his message, Grace Giving Part 4.

You probably have some heroes in your life – people who have been examples to you in one way or another. It might be a parent or another family member – possibly one of your teachers. Hopefully, you have some heroes in your church. Today, Pastor John reminds us that just as others have been examples for us, we are examples for others. You are being watched. Your life is being studied. Others are trying to see if Christianity really “works” for you. You have the opportunity to represent Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 9 as he begins his message, Grace Giving Part 4.

If you’re involved in the leadership of your church, you probably have many people voicing their opinions to you. Of course, you want to humbly hear what people are saying, and you want to take their suggestions seriously. But today, Pastor John reminds you that your ultimate responsibility is to God. When you’re entrusted with God’s resources, you must operate in complete faithfulness. And that means being honest before God. And it means being honest in the sight of the people. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he continues his message, Grace Giving Part 3.

You probably have a lot of experience handling money. At least – for yourself. But have you ever had to take care of money that belonged to someone else? Maybe you were the treasurer of your kid’s booster club. Or, more significantly, the trustee of your elderly parents’ money and care. Today, Pastor John says that’s nothing compared to the responsibility of handling money that’s been given to God. When you’re dealing with what has been donated to the kingdom, you’re entrusted with God’s funds. Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he begins his message, Grace Giving Part 3.

What do people love the most today? If this were a multiple-choice question, and one of the answers was “God,” how many people would pick that answer? It’s not hard to imagine what other choices might be on that test. Today, Pastor John reads several “woes” from the prophet Isaiah. One of them is covetousness and materialism.  Is that prevalent today in our country? What about in your life? And wouldn’t God have the same stance about it today as He did in Isaiah’s time?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Isaiah chapter 5 as he continues his message, America, One Nation Under God?

When you look at events going on in the world today, you might ask yourself, “does God have a plan?” Did history have a start, and is it moving to an end, or do things just happen randomly without any overarching purpose? Today, Pastor John underscores that God does have a plan. History is not random, and God has been in control the entire time. And that includes you, your family, your city, and your country. What’s your role in furthering God’s plan? How are you a part of His redemptive purposes?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Isaiah chapter 5 as he begins his message, America, One Nation Under God?

How many times have you had an opportunity to do something generous, and you really felt God was calling you to do so, but you hesitated? Why did that happen? Maybe, as Pastor John talks about today, it was because you were afraid that God wouldn’t take care of you in the future. If you give something away today, you can’t spend it tomorrow. God’s helped you so far, but will He keep on helping you in the future? The answer to that question is faith: Faith in the continuing faithfulness of God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he continues his message, Grace Giving Part 2.

If you think of people who are very, very rich, you can probably also think of some of the charitable causes they give to. But can you imagine an extremely rich person who decided to give away so much that he became dirt-poor? Today, Pastor John shows that this is exactly what Jesus did. He is the ultimate example of going from the highest to the lowest, infinitely more than we can imagine. Among other reasons, Jesus did this to set an example for you. And when you follow His example, you’ll be blessed.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he begins his message, Grace Giving Part 2.

How would you like it if you went to a car dealership and bought a new car, then found out that certain things in the car you test-drove weren’t in the “package” you bought? Or what if you ordered a meal at the restaurant, but they didn’t bring the potatoes? Today, Pastor John shows that the grace of giving is part of the “total package” of being a Christian. You may excel in many graces, and that’s great! But without giving, you’re missing the sunroof or the French fries of the Christian life.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he continues his message, Grace Giving Part 1.

If you were asked to list some of the important aspects of living the Christian life, which ones would you name? One of them would probably be fellowship with other believers. Today, Pastor John agrees, and he explores one of the ways in which it’s manifested – giving. The apostle Paul didn’t hesitate to ask the church in Corinth to excel in giving. He knew it was part of the lifestyle of being a Christian. And when you put generosity into action, it’ll spill out into other parts of your Christian experience.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 8 as he begins his message, Grace Giving Part 1.

Have you ever been at a low point in your spiritual life when someone appeared out of nowhere and gave you just the words of encouragement you needed? Today, Pastor John describes a time when this happened in the life of the apostle Paul. He was very discouraged until his friend and co-worker Titus arrived with very good news. And Paul recognized that it was God who had sent the right person at the right time with the right words. Think about this: who does God want you to encourage today?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 7 as he continues his message, Real Repentance.

Have you ever been in a situation where a friend was doing something very wrong, and you decided to speak up? And then, you had to wonder how they’d respond. Today, Pastor John shows how the apostle Paul faced this situation. He corrected the Corinthian church for a serious wrong, not knowing how they’d react. But when he heard they took his correction seriously, he rejoiced greatly. You, too, can know this joy when God’s word, coming from you, bears good fruit in someone else’s life.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 7 as he begins his message, Real Repentance.
