Welcome to the Burning Hearts Podcast! Our heart is to glorify Jesus Christ and draw people closer to Him through explaining Scriptures in a relevant and easy-to-understand way. Our name comes from two Scriptures: Luke 24:32 - They said to each other, ”Weren‘t our hearts burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining Scriptures to us.” Jeremiah 20:9 - Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. The Burning Heart‘s Podcast with Pastor Michael Craft explores the Bible in an exciting way. We pray it ministers to you! If you would like to learn more about Jesus, how to begin a relationship with Him, or about Pastor Michael Craft, please visit: www.MichaelCraft.org

Philippians 1 Part 1
Monday May 30, 2022
Monday May 30, 2022
In today’s message, Pastor Michael speaks about Paul’s writings to the Philippians. The Apostle Paul explains that he is grateful for the Lord’s hand in his life, even if he didn’t understand it immediately. Has the same thing ever happened to you? Have you ever “dodged a bullet” so to speak? Sometimes, God stops things from happening in our lives that look like they would be beneficial, but would actually just cause us more problems! Even during difficult times, we can keep faith in The Lord’s wisdom!

You can find joy everywhere – in your family and friends, in your surroundings, in circumstances. But that joy tends to fade over time, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t it be incredible if you could find joy that lasts forever? The Bible has some good news for you – you can have eternal joy, and it’s found in Jesus! Pastor Michael will be telling you today about the book of Philippians, a book that tells you again and again about how Jesus is everything you want and everything you need, and how you can have a relationship with Him!

When hard times come your way, and you're uncertain about the future, you still have nothing to fear when you have God in your heart. You can always depend on Him to get you through those times. Jesus went through the worst pain possible on earth, and won't let you go through places of pain on your own. Pastor Michael is going to show you that lesson that Jesus showed His disciples when He appeared to them after He was risen from the dead, and God wants you to share that hope with everyone you meet.

God wants your heart to be full of joy in Him and in living a life full of His blessings and peace. Jesus gave His disciples proof that He truly rose when He showed Himself to them after He was crucified and buried so they could know without a doubt that He is The Son of God. Today, Pastor Michael wants you to be certain, too, that Jesus is The Son of God, that He's with you, and that He's alive and working in your life today. And He wants you to spread that good news to everyone else you can.

The Only Man Made Thing In Heaven Part 2

You don't have to have every answer rehearsed when you go out to tell others about God and His Word. You'll never be fully prepared by yourself. But, as Pastor Michael's going to show you today, you're never doing it alone. God will be The One that works in people's hearts to draw them to Himself. He's the one that will work intimately in their lives. He just wants you to be obedient in going out and telling people about Him and showing everyone you can the love that only comes from God.

When someone asks you about your faith, or when you go out witnessing to people, the only thing you should do is present the message of Jesus to others, and give them the chance to give their lives to Christ. You're not called to judge people or prove points, but to show people the love that comes from God. Pastor Michael is going to show you examples from Jesus Himself of telling others about God. It's up to you to tell people about the hope you have, but up to The Holy Spirit to draw their hearts to God.

Epiphany Part 2

Jesus will never force you to come to Him or ask for forgiveness of your sins. He leaves it up to you. If you turn to Him, though, and let Him, He'll come in to your life and bless you like you've never experienced before. Today, Pastor Michael is going to show you His teaching on the road to Emmaus. Jesus was gentle in presenting and not forceful when He presented Scriptures to people. When you go out to spread His Word, are you the same way, not forcing your opinions on people and sharing His Word in love?

It doesn't matter what your social status or popularity is. God loves you, and still would have sent Jesus to die for your sins if it was just for you alone. Today, Pastor Michael is going to show you the light bulb moment when the disciples finally realized Jesus truly rose from the dead, and how that led them to do great things after He left them for the Kingdom. He truly is risen, and His sacrifice makes a way for you to get to Heaven through Him and to have all your sins forgiven so you can be made new in Him!

God gave up His son to die for your sins so you could spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Jesus loved you enough to give everything for you to have hope for eternity. Today, Pastor Michael is going to show you how gracious God is, and how much you need His grace in your life. You'll get to see real-life examples of grace, but no matter how great the story, nothing comes close to how amazing God's grace is to you. You don't deserve what He's done for you, but He's done it anyway.

Jesus' resurrection was prophesied years beforehand, and Jesus even talked about it Himself before it happened. Even when people didn't know what He meant at first. Today, Pastor Michael is going to show you why He came back, and about the doubt of everyone at the time when they heard about His resurrection. Everything Jesus said was true, and we have proof of so much of it! Everything in God's Word is perfectly accurate, and needing Jesus for your salvation is no exception! God's Word is 100% true!
