Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the role of fruits in the creation story. He explains the difference between fruits and vegetables and the important role of fruits in the lives of humans. Dr. Hall points out that God commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of good and knowledge in the midst of the garden of Eden. He recounts the biblical story of Eve being tempted by the serpent to eat from this forbidden tree that resulted in both Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. It is pointed out that the Bible often uses the metaphor, fruit, to describe the produce of our lives. Dr. Hall explores the fruits of the spirit as described in Scripture. The act of love and grace exhibited on the cross means that Jesus owns us and has the right to expect that we will bear fruit.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, surveys views about Jesus among the major religions of the world. He points out that non-Christian religions, even those that date hundreds of years before Jesus’s ministry on earth feel compelled to explain the life of Jesus. Dr. Hall goes on to point out that surveys revealed that among white evangelical Protestants 72% think that Judaism or Islam or no religion at all can lead to salvation. This is even though Jesus Christ proclaimed to be the only way to salvation. The podcast attempts to answer the question, “Who is Jesus?” Dr. Hall points out that Jesus’s statements about himself contradict the notion that he was simply a great man or prophet. Jesus clearly indicated that He was God. The idea that the only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ is a narrowminded unenlightened viewpoint flies in the face of biblical teaching.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews the history and purpose of Independence Day – 4th of July. As a day when freedom is celebrated, he delves into the definition of freedom.

Dr. Hall provides the meaning behind Jesus’s statement that, “The truth will set you free.” The kind of spiritual bondage that can enslave everyone to sin is explored. Dr. Hall points out that both Jesus and the apostle Paul emphasized that true freedom is found in obedience to God’s truth.
