These days, having a child out of wedlock is pretty much a valid lifestyle choice in many cultures. I’m not saying that it’s right, just that that’s how it’s perceived. But back in Jesus’ day ??? man it was a huge scandal. Seriously. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a fresh new look at Christmas.

Christmas ?' they talk about baby Jesus and Mary and Joseph ?' but this Jesus???.is He who He says He is? Can Christmas really make a difference ?' I mean in your life and mine? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a fresh new look at Christmas.

My hunch is that the whole Christmas thing began well before that starry night in Bethlehem. A long time before. Question is ?' how come God came up with it? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a fresh new look at Christmas.

Here's a crazy idea. If God is God the Father ?' wouldn't He want to give His kids gifts. And what if, what if you and I are the gifts He wants to give? Why don't you join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks???and take a fresh new look at the gifts of the Spirit.

It's one thing to know God. It's another thing entirely to know God. Enter the Holy Spirit. Who? What? If knowing, if experiencing God is up there on your agenda, why don't you join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks???

It's funny how we all want a fresh new beginning in life ?' the slate wiped clean, a bright future,???yet we still want to hang on to the garbage from the past. Why don't you join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks???and explore the possibility of taking out the garbage.

At some point, we all end up at the end of our rope. Sometimes it's our own fault. Sometimes it's not. At those times ?' we feel that we need to do something ?' it's like the last roll of the dice??? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a look at what it means to take God at His Word.

Sometimes, we head off in our own direction - and then we discover that we've strayed so far away from God plans for our lives. That amazing thing is that God always, always provides us with a way home. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a look at what it means to take God at His Word.

Sometimes life can feel really dry. You look out across the landscape of your life and all you can see is dry bones.

Sowing and reaping. Humph! It takes such a long time to reap the harvest ?" sometimes we get sick of the wait. I mean ?" really! Join Berni on Christianityworks as he looks at what we can do while we wait for the harvest.

Sowing and reaping is about multiplication. You sow one seed, you reap a hundred. But the multiplication factor has a lot to do with the way that we sow. Join Berni on Christianityworks as he looks at God’s multiplication factor.

Everybody wants to reap a harvest in life. But sometimes, it feels more like a drought. So exactly what is my drought about? Join Berni on Christianity works, as he looks at as he takes another look at sowing seed during the drought.

So many families are in a mess. We want to have a godly family, we may even talk about having a godly family. But if we want to have a godly family ?' we have to do more than talk about it. We have to act. We have to build a godly family. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover God's plan for our families.

Imagine walking in the front door, closing out the world, and having peace at home. That’s exactly what God intends ?' peace at home, and yet so many families have anything BUT peace. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God’s Word to discover God’s plan for our families.

Over the last few weeks on the program, we've been discovering how it is that God speaks to us today and how we can get about hearing Him when He does speak. The question is ?' when it's something big or important =?' how can we make sure that we've heard Him right? Because the last thing we want to do, is to get it wrong, right? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover what, if anything, God's saying to us today.

God is a God who speaks to us. It's something He's been doing for centuries. Millennia in fact. And sometimes, sometimes he speaks to us in ways that we just don't expect. Right out of the blue. Question is ?' are we listening? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover what, if anything, God's saying to us today.

It's one thing to want to hear God speak. Lots of people do ?' How can I hear God speak to me is one of the most common questions I'm asked. But half the time, I wonder whether we're not wandering around with our ears shut and our eyes closed. Really!! Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover what, if anything, God's saying to us today.

Is God Still Speaking Today

Everyone ?" everyone who believes in Jesus is called to be His ambassador. Ahh ?" there are Ambassadors and then there are Ambassadors. Question is ?" how can you and I be the sort of Ambassador of Christ that stands out ?" for the right reasons? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God’s Word to see what God has to say to us, about living a life that truly counts.

Looking, Walking and Talking Like Jesus

Everyone ?" everyone who believes in Jesus is called to be His ambassador. An Ambassador of Christ. That involves a change of heart, it involves a change in our actions and it involves ?" well, going. Ambassadors don’t stay, they go. That’s why being Christ’s Ambassadors ain’t easy sometimes. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God’s Word to see what God has to say to us, about living a life that truly counts.

Life just seems to happen doesn’t it? We get up, do pretty much the same thing as yesterday, over and over. And as someone who believes in Jesus it can be easy for us to lose sight of what God wants us to do with our lives. And it turns out ?" that in His eyes, you and I ?" we’re Ambassadors of Christ. That’s quite a calling. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God’s Word to see what God has to say to us, about living a life that truly counts.

Jesus promised us His complete and perfect and abundant joy. Problem is ?' there are so many things that want to rob us of that joy. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover how to live in the Joy of God.

Joy is a wonderful thing. And it turns out that Jesus died in order that we might have His joy. True. But sometimes, sometimes we squander that joy ?' what an incredible waste. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as He looks at what God's Word says about squandering joy ?' and setting things right.

We tend to think of joy and sorrow as being opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. But God ?' God has this thing where He wants to pour His joy, into our sorrow.. Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word and takes a look at God's plan for joy in our lives.

Joy. It's such a simple word. Three letters. Just one syllable. So why is joy so elusive? We try so hard to find it ?'but, you know? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word and takes a look at God's plan for joy in our lives.

The only faith the Bible talks about, the only sort of Faith Jesus talked about was the sort of faith that moves mountains. The sort of faith that conquers the world! Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word and takes a look at precisely that sort of faith. Not in theory. But in practice.

We all have some difficult people in our lives. So how do we deal with them ?' especially when we're under fire from the enemy? Why don't you join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a look at dealing with difficult people?

The Sort of Faith That Pleases God

The Morning After

That first Easter was so incredibly unfair. Jesus ?" the innocent man ?" was crucified and Barabbas ?" the man guilty of murder ?" walked off Scott free. If you were God, would you have done things that way? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he takes a look at you, me?.and Barabbas.
