Episodes
What does it mean when you are told "you are wired to win"? In "Your Ministry" Pastor John reminds us that we have an assignment -- which is to listen to our "boss" (Jesus) and follow His direction which includes His command for us to make disciples.
We all talk and think about our purpose, but have you considered the purpose of the church? In "God's Purpose of the Church" Pastor John explains that one purpose is to show God's wisdom to not only the world, but also to the "unseen rulers"!
Have you ever felt unworthy? In "New Life | United with Christ" Pastor John points out that we are called God's masterpiece!
What types of comfort do you seek? In "Comfort ______" Pastor John says that there is good comfort and not so good comfort. For example, we can at times have friends that are good to us, but they are not good for us.
Do you believe that if you are in unity with someone, or some group, you won't have disagreements? In "Handling Disagreement" Pastor John explains that whether in marriage, work, friendships or the church, disagreements will naturally occur. Our goal is to seek God's perspective and work towards the solution that He would desire.
What happens when someone tries to change the Word of God to meet their beliefs instead of the other way around? In "Di-Vision" Pastor John gives many examples, starting all the way back with Adam and Eve.
What is the difference between pride and humility? In "Wise or Foolish" Pastor John shares a key concern is when we ask God to bless our time, effort and ideas, versus spending time with the Lord and hearing His revelation for our life?
What is the opposite of wisdom? In "Living Under God’s Wisdom" Pastor Manny explains that it isn't ignorance -- it is pride. If we aren't coming to God for wisdom, we are coming to people (including ourselves) and people fall far short of God's wisdom.
As we grow and mature, how do we limit a judgemental spirit? In "Loving Conviction" Pastor Bryan outlines what he has experienced and the difference he has found when lifting someone up versus looking down on someone.
How much faith do you have to believe in a miracle? In "Faith Check" Pastor John shows that God distributes spiritual gifts to us as He wills. Specifically, the Bible states that God distributes even the gifts of healing and of working of miracles (1 Corinthians 12:4-11).
What are you storing up in your heart? In 'Our Words Matter' Pastor James says that love tries to I help and heal. Pride says, how can I prove they are wrong.
What does it mean when it is said "sometimes we must be saved from ourselves"? In "The Most Important Thing" Pastor James explains the difference between disguised preferences and Biblical truth.
As Christians, how do we handle suffering? In today's message, Pastor Doug explains that the biggest weapon we have in enduring suffering is perspective -- meaning we trust Him, seek His answers, His help, His resolution and His timing, not our own.
Do we somethings think of God like a vending machine? In "When God Doesn't Do It", Pastor John described many examples in the Bible where people's motivation for doing God's will was to receive a certain blessing. While that certainly happens, that motivation for why you served God means we are missing God's heart for our lives.
Would you say that something you like to do brings you closer to, or further from, God? In "Faith and Priorities" Pastor John shows how many things can be either good or bad depending on what priority we give to it.
How would you describe a "Christian-ish" person? In "The Story of Zaccheus", Pastor Todd compares examples from the Bible, where some believe they are fine and don't need to grow deeper in their faith, versus some who earnestly seek God. Which is the the "Christian-ish" person?
Would someone describe you as someone who is wholeheartedly following after Jesus? In "The Trap", Pastor John describes the 5 signs that might say whether that is true or not.
When the Bible uses the word 'grace' to describe how God deals with our sin, what does that really mean? In "Self-Control" Pastor John describes how we should view God's grace and how that doesn't include using it as a license to continue in our former ways.
What are "blessings of gentleness"? In today's message, Pastor John explains how you become more credible, persuasive and even attractive, when you work in the "fruit" of gentleness.
What is that one word? In "One Word That Will Change Your Life" Pastor John explains how "faithfulness" in how you treat people, how you steward resources and how you respond to God's word are often underestimated as to their long term significance in our lives.
