Christ’s Commands in Action:

David Livingstone

Deny Yourself

In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of missionary David Livingstone and discover how his unwavering devotion to Christ embodied Jesus’ command to deny yourself, take up your cross, and daily follow Him (see Luke 9:23–25). As we trace Livingstone’s journey through hardship, sacrifice, and faithful service in Africa, we are challenged to see that no earthly cost compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ.

May this testimony of the life of David Livingstone encourage you to embrace daily surrender and live in light of eternity, knowing that a life wholly devoted to Christ will bear fruit far beyond what we can see.

Message of the Month

The Revival of the Single Eye

Gabriel Cleator

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” —Matthew 6:22

The Lord desires for us to have a “single eye” focus on Him and that He would have first place in our hearts. In our Message of the Month, “The Revival of the Single Eye,” Gabriel Cleator challenges listeners to throw off complacency and earnestly seek Christ with an undivided heart. One of the greatest competitors to a single eye for Christ is distraction. According to James 1:8, “a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” However, as we turn from distractions and instead spend time with the Lord in the Word and in prayer, our love for Him will grow, and our focus on Him will be honed.

As you listen to this message about having a single eye, may you be encouraged to focus each day on Christ and be challenged to live your life in light of eternity!

COMMAND OF CHRIST

Keep Your Word

“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”

–Matthew 5:37

How should we live now so that we will have no regrets later? Perhaps the life of Jonathan Edwards can help reveal the answer. He was a man who lived with integrity and eternity in view. Relying on Christ rather than self-effort, Edwards sought to be a man of his word, and this helped shape his life and ministry. In a time of spiritual coldness, God used his faithfulness to bring a great awakening, reminding us that when we depend on Christ, He empowers us to live truthfully and use our lives for His glory.
