Eternal life is a gift, it's true. But if we think of it as a parcel that we can drop or lose, we're not seeing the whole picture! The present that God offers us is not like a birthday present. It isn't something external. It is Christ Himself, alive in us! The pious folks of Jesus' day got a glimpse of just one aspect of this doctrine and were utterly scandalized. Jim will try to walk us all the way around it in his message, How to Live Effectively, Part 2.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Salvation... perfection... glory. All were promised to us in the Upper Room! The Lord prayed not only for His inner circle of disciples, but for "those who will believe in Me through their word." That's you and me. The Lord prayed for our holiness, our unity, our perfection and more - and we know that the Father will answer the prayers of His Son! We'll continue our study with Jesus' request at John 17, verse 20.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

To be a servant of Christ is good; to be a friend of Christ is better! We've been noticing several major changes that Jesus announced to His disciples the night before His death. From now on, the faithful Eleven would relate to each other, to the world, and to the Father differently. Today Jim will show us that their relationship to Jesus was about to change, too: They would move closer to Him. His sermon is called, How to Live Effectively, Part 1, and we're in John, chapter 14.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Ever feel like you don't belong? That's because you don't! You and I were born into this world as parts of the world. We shared the same nature as everyone around us, and even though that nature was corrupt and selfish; even though we sometimes had problems with other people; we didn't feel like contemptible aliens on this planet. But when we were born again into the New Race, all that changed. In the Upper Room, Jesus tried to prepare His disciples for the hostility that was coming.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

There are supernatural forces trying to destroy you! Yesterday we overheard Jesus in the Upper Room revealing the new connection the Disciples were about to have with each other. And He warned that they were about to experience the hostility of the world - a hatred originating in the Prince of this World. Today Pastor Jim will continue to talk about those new relationships, and one more. We're in the Gospel of John.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Which is harder: dying well, or living well? We spent some time recently on the important - and fairly neglected - topic of "The Art of Dying Well." We listened to the great Master of that art as he taught His students in the Upper Room. In that same class session Jesus gave valuable instructions for living well. It was a pivotal moment for both the Lord and His Disciples. Let's open our ears to what some would call the more difficult part of the lesson. Here's Jim to begin our new series.Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.
