Have you ever been disappointed because an expectation was not met? It was because of an unmet expectation that two of the disciples were in despair as they walked the seven miles from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus. They had lost their hope at Jesus’ recent crucifixion. Not understanding all that Jesus had taught during his life, they had expected Jesus to set up a military kingdom. But their perspective changed.
People are changed when they personally encounter Jesus Christ! A personal encounter with Jesus changed everything for these two disciples. Although initially unrecognized, Jesus joined them as they walked toward Emmaus and listened to all they had to say. Tune to as Richard L. Hamlet examines Luke 24:13-16 to hear how Jesus responded to their despair and what happened as a result.
Real Time in the Marketplace
In the midst of political correctness and biblical compromise, our Real Time spotlight shines on Ken Ham, a man who stands firm on the reliability of the Bible. Ken emphasizes the relevance and authority of the book of Genesis to the life of the average Christian. His ministry, Answers in Genesis, focuses on answering to questions about the Bible regarding key issues such as creation, evolution, science, and the age of the earth. In addition to speaking, writing books, and publications, Ken provides unique opportunities to experience history. He developed a state-of-the-art, 70,000 square foot Creation Museum which brings the pages of the Bible to life. In 2016, the “Ark Encounter Theme Park” will open as a one-of-a-kind attraction that will give visitors an actual real-life-feel of what it may have been like in Noah’s day as they walk through a full-sized replica of the ark.
Real World Impact
People come from all sorts of different backgrounds and walks of life. We are surrounded everyday by those who may be dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, or maybe they’re just feeling empty. As Christians, we are commanded by God to share Christ with those around us. Our guest, Dr.Carey Hedgpeth, a former businessman whom God called to preach, says, “It is not complicated. Be yourself; be what God has called you to be. You never know who is listening or who God is dealing with. Our responsibility is just to go out and do what God has called us to do. Do it and let God have His way.” Tune in to hear how God used Carey Hedgpeth one day as he was reading his Bible in a restaurant.
