WHKW_TBS01 -  How to Be a Good Christian
If you are saved, it should be your desire to be a good Christian. This message will also help to teach us the importance of being a soulwinner. These lifestyles are not exclusive, but in fact are related to each other. Listen as Pastor McCracken teaches us from the Word of God.
  

WHKW_TBS02 -  When it Seems Like God Doesn't Answer
Please open your bibles to Hebrews 11:24. This is where we will begin this lesson on how to handle things when it seems as if God is not answering our prayers. Hebrews 11 is known as the Faith chapter, but we can make four observations in this chapter, that could shed some light on the problems we all face.
  

WHKW_TBS03 -  What Happens When a Christian Sins
Every honest Christian would admit that eventhough they are saved, they are still capable of sinning. Another truth is that when a person has become born again, sin is never the same as it used to be, before coming to Christ. Though we still sin, the command is unchanging for us not to sin anymore. Get ready for some biblical instruction, from the books of Exodus and 1 John, that will help us to avoid sin and explain to us what happens to a sinning Christian.
  

WHKW_TBS04 -  Solving Life's Problems the Christian Way
The truth is that we all have problems, but what do we do to solve them? God has provided mankind with an instruction manual for living in this world & He has made provision for us so that we wouldn’t have to bear life’s burdens alone. If you are going through a difficult time, then stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us how to solve life’s problems the Christian way.
  

WHKW_TBS05 -  Tears
Today’s message is about tears. Tears are something in which we can all relate. They are common to all mankind. They do not discriminate against any particular class of people either. We all experience them. However, the truth of the matter is that when we go through the tough times, we are not alone. We have a God who is able to deliver us out of all situations, & we have a Savior who died for what those tears represent. So if you are experiencing the tears in life right now, please stay with us. Pastor Allan will show us from the bible how Jesus can take away the sting of sin & the tears that follow.
  

WHKW_TBS06 -  Looking for Jesus
Today, Pastor Allan will be teaching on the subject of “Finding Jesus”. Many people are looking for Jesus, but they don’t always know where to look for Him. During our time together, Pastor Allan will show us where we can find Jesus, through a few familiar passages in the Scriptures. So for starters, please open your bibles to the Gospel of John, chapter 12 & verse 20 & listen in as Pastor Allan teaches us from the Word of God.
  

WHKW_TBS07 -  Understanding Prophecy
Today, Pastor Allan will be teaching us about understanding biblical prophecy. So if you can, please open your bibles to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 1-8. The bible is full of prophetic words that sometimes can be confusing even to the most knowledgeable of bible students. But if you want to get the most out of the Holy Scriptures, then having an understanding of the art & science of biblical interpretation is a must. So stay tuned as Pastor Allan shows us how to understand prophecy.
  

WHKW_TBS08 -  Jesus Does it All
Today, Pastor Allan will teach us how Jesus does it all. To start, please turn in your bibles to Psalm 34, & beginning at verse 1. You see, God wants to show us how He can do it all through His words in this psalm. These verses tell us that God saves us out of our troubles. They also tell us that God keeps us & protects us, & furthermore, they teach us that God can satisfy all our needs. So please stay tuned as Pastor Allan further explores this blessed psalm & learn how Jesus Does it All.
  

WHKW_TBS09 -  Understanding God
Today, Pastor Allan will teach us some ways in which we can understand God by reading Psalm 103 & verses 13 & 14. There are many influences in the world today that shape our views & opinions, especially when it comes to the nature of God. If you pay attention to popular culture, or the media at large, then you will undoubtedly get a distorted view of who God truly is. The good news, however, is the fact that God has written a book that teaches us the truth about Him. This book is the Holy Bible & it is the final word. So keep your dial set as Pastor Allan helps us to better understand the one true God.
  

WHKW_TBS10 -  Fruits of Repentance
Today, Pastor Allan will teach us about the fruits of repentance. Repentance consists of a true sense of one's own guilt and sinfulness; turning from it to God; and seeking to live a holy life by walking with Him. Repentance is not just feeling sorry or remorseful, but being so troubled in your own heart that you begin to live by God’s standards, according to His Word. These fruits of repentance are visible ways that demonstrate that a person has actually changed. So please open your bibles to Luke, chapter 13 & get ready as Pastor Allan teaches us from God’s Word.
  

WHKW_TBS11 -  Lessons from a Church in Greece
Today, Pastor Allan will be teaching us a few lessons from a church in Greece. To begin please open your bibles to the book of Acts, chpt 18 & verse 1. Here we read about the Apostle Paul coming to the city of Corinth. This large & prosperous town was being ruled by immorality & idolatry, with it seeping into the church that Paul had started there. To correct these problems, Paul wrote a letter to the Corinthian Christians discussing spiritual matters, like speaking in tongues & the rampant degradation of the city. So stay tuned as Pastor Allan further explores these lessons from the Apostle Paul.
  

WHKW_TBS12 -  It Shall Not be So Among You
Today, Pastor Allan is bringing us a message about Christian conduct in today’s word, titled, “It Shall Not be So Among You”. To begin, please open your bible to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 20. As we all know, the conduct of society is generally in contradiction to the Word of God. Unfortunately, there are too many Christians behaving in the same way. The Bible says that we are to be set apart from the world in all that we say, think, & do & not be conformed to it. So please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us how to be separated from the world.
  

WHKW_TBS13 -  Facing the Giants
Today, Pastor Allan is bringing us a message from 2nd Samuel, Chapter 21, and beginning at verse 15. This message is about “Facing the Giants” in our lives. All Christians battle against the subtle & ever present giants of this world, trying to turn our minds & eyes away from the Lord. Though we may get the victory on occasion, the giants have a way of coming back. We must watch & pray because we never know when another giant is on the horizon. Sometimes we can not win these battles all alone. Sometimes we need help. But thank the Lord that He is on the throne & there is help available to His children. God promises to never leaves us of forsake us, the battle belongs to Him. So get ready as Pastor Allan begins today’s message.
  

WHKW_TBS14 -  Lessons on Freedom & Bondage
Today’s message is titled “Lessons on Freedom & Bondage.” The basis for this message can be found in the Gospel of John Chapter 8, & beginning at verse 30. Typically we think of bondage in the sense of physical, or political, but today, Pastor Allan wants to open our minds up to the spiritual & moral bondage that has captured so many people in this world. So please stay tuned as today’s program gets underway.
  

WHKW_TBS15 -  Signs of Maturity
Today, Pastor Allan has a message for us on the Signs of Maturity. To begin, please open your bibles to the first chapter of the book of James. The book of James gives us many practical & useful applications for Christian living. This epistle was originally written to the Christian Jews living abroad throughout the Roman Empire. James knew that many of these young Christians needed some written guidelines on how to live, so he recorded what God had inspired. So please stay with us as Pastor Allan begins today’s message.
  

WHKW_TBS16 -  I am a Bible Believer for Good Reasons
For today’s message, Pastor Allan will be teaching us how we can be Bible believers based on historical evidence. The title for this sermon is, “I am a Bible Believer for Good Reasons.” How would you respond if someone told you that the bible wasn’t the Word of God? What if they said the Bible wasn’t trustworthy or that it was simply written by men & not of God? Today’s broadcast will equip you with historical evidence that points you to the truth & accuracy of the Bible. This lesson in apologetics is an essential key for Christian growth, so please stay with us as Pastor Allan reads from Romans 1:16.
     

WHKW_TBS17 -  Skeptics Welcome
Pastor Allan will be teaching us today on the subject of “Skeptics Welcome”. If you can, please open up your bibles to the Gospel of John, chpt. 20, & starting at verse 19. Today’s message begins with the account of the Apostle Thomas & his skepticism of the risen Christ. Thomas is most famous for being a “doubter”, but you see, God welcomes the skeptic, or doubter, to bring forth their questions. There is however, a distinction between doubters. Some doubt because they don’t really want to know the truth, & then there are those who are honestly seeking answers to their questions. Those skeptics that are honest & genuine are welcomed by the Lord because reasonable answers exist for those who are sincere. So please stay with us as Pastor Allan gets underway.
  

WHKW_TBS18 -  What Paul Did When Trouble Came
Today, Pastor Allan will be teaching us how to handle the troubles in our life. This message is based off of the testimony of the Apostle Paul, in a practical message titled, “What Paul Did When Trouble Came.” Acts chapter 27 & verse 14 tells us about a great storm that Paul went through while he was a prisoner on a ship bound for Rome. Today’s program will be digging deeply into how Paul handled this major obstacle in his life & how we can use these principles to navigate through the storms in our own lives. So please keep your radio dial set as Pastor Allan teaches us from God’s Word.
     

WHKW_TBS19 -  How to Be Happy
Our message for today is based off of the life of Joseph, as found in the book of Genesis, chapter 50 & starting at verse 15. Here, Pastor Allan McCracken will be teaching us some practical ways on How to be Happy, as demonstrated by Joseph. If you read the account in Genesis, you will find that Joseph was never a complainer, nor was he ever bitter despite the circumstances in his life. He was sold into slavery as a child. He was falsely accused of raping a woman, & he was falsely imprisoned for many years. The truth is, that by the world’s standards, Joseph deserved to be an angry individual, but praise be to God, that he trusted the Lord. Through the Lord, Joseph was able to be happy in every situation. So, please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us How to be Happy.

WHKW_TBS23 -  A Teaching on Divorce, Part 1
If you can, please open up your bibles to the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 10, & beginning at verse 1. Today, Pastor Allan will be digging into a paradoxical teaching on the subject of divorce. For those of you who don’t know, a paradox is a statement that seems to contradict itself, however it actually expresses a valid truth or principle. In the bible, there are many examples of Jesus using this device to convey fundamental truths, specifically here in Mark chapter 10. So please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us about the response Jesus gave when He was asked if divorce was lawful.
