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!

Never-ceasing compassion that won’t fail. At the moment you desperately need Him, He’s there to help you carry your load – even that extra straw you thought would break you.

When you give to God, do you give with love and appreciation? Or do you give bitterly? Perhaps you're giving just enough, so you're straight with God without breaking into your budget. Today Pastor Michael will be looking at the story of the widow's mite, where you'll see Jesus teach his disciples that it's not the amount of money given that's important, but rather the sacrifice made in the offering. God doesn't judge what you give by the amount that it's worth, but by the size of your sacrifice to Him.

Who do you believe Jesus is? Is He just an ordinary carpenter? a great prophet? Or is He the Messiah, the Son of God? Today Pastor Michael will be continuing through the book of Luke where you'll see Jesus's opponents repeatedly try to "trip him up" with their religious questioning. But Jesus is going to turn the tables on them and asked them a question that will shake up their previous understanding of Scripture. Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God - or does he need to shake you up, so you can see his truth?

Is it wrong to question God? In the Bible, you often see believers questioning God. The problem is many people often question God with a rebellious un-trusting heart not truly trying to get an answer from the Lord. Today Pastor Michael will be reading through Luke where you will see Jesus being questioned by the Pharisees who try to attack the character of God. It’s one thing to ask God why and another to doubt His goodness and His existence. Do you ever question God or his promise to you?

How do you answer people who ask you difficult or absurd questions? It's easy to get defensive or even aggressive when your faith is confronted by people who seem like attackers. But God calls us to be better, He calls us to be like his Son Jesus Christ. Today Pastor Michael will share a passage where Jesus is being confronted by attackers, but he doesn’t ridicule them…and neither should you. It’s your job to be patient, loving, and concerned about the souls of those who may be asking you questions about God.

If you examine your own life, what have your built your eternal life on? Is Christ the cornerstone? Does the shape of your life mirror the shape of Christ? Today Pastor Michael will continue reading through Luke, and you will see an example where Peter the disciples perform miracles in Jesus's name and are confronted and questioned by corrupt leaders. Are you following God's instructions for your life? Do you take shelter in Him when the storm of life comes knocking, trusting Him to be a firm and sure cornerstone?

How do you define Jesus? Do you trust the scriptures or have you made something else your god? Jesus was a man, but He was also the Son of God. To believe and live the former won’t cost you much. The latter will cost you your life. Today you will follow along with Pastor Michael as he continues through Luke where you will see Jesus call out the corruptness of the religious leaders as he shares a parable about wicked servants who chose to deny their master. Will you listen to what God has to say?

Do you come to church and to the Word of God with expectation? In today's message from Pastor Michael, he shares with you the importance of having an expectant heart. God's Word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. His Word does not return void or without any effect. Pastor Michael encourages you, to let the Scriptures soak into your mind and heart. Receive the life that God gives through His daily bread from His Word. Receive from Him and pass that life onto others!

Just because you're a Christian, doesn't mean you're always going to agree with others. As you listen to today's message from Pastor Michael, he assures you that it's okay to have disagreements. But it's important to disagree not only in a loving way. But in a way that is also sharing the truth of the Gospel with others. Pastor Michael stresses the importance of reading your Bible. So that way you know the truth and the truth of God will set captives free. Share in truth and in love when you disagree with others.
