Is Your Vision Big Enough?

If your vision doesn't scare you, is it really from God? On this episode we discuss stepping out in faith, the need for prayer, wise council, and the excitement of hearing God all along the way. When your vision is big enough, then God gets all the glory.

Acknowledge God & He Will Direct Your Paths

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Acknowledging God is more than just recognizing that there is a God, it involves seeking Him, listening to Him and obeying Him.

Every disciple is a Christian but not every Christian is a disciple

Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." The Greek word for disciple means student, learner, follower, someone who adheres completely to the teaching of another, making them his rule of life and conduct. Jesus was very clear about the cost of following him. "Anyone of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:33) Don't get complacent, keep following Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to transform your life, your thoughts, your actions, your finances, your hobbies.

Daily Disciplines Develop Strength and Courage

On this episode we look at Joshua 1:3,9 "I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses...Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discourage, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Strength and Courage is developed through daily disciplines of Bible study, prayer, worship, and connecting with brothers and sisters in the Christ.

Facing Adversity With Confidence

On this episode we focus on James 1:2-4 " Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." Jesus tells us that in this world we will have many trials, but take heart because he has overcome the world. Trials, difficulties, adversity and suffering don't have to paralyze you with fear. In Christ, we can face them with confidence, joy and peace knowing that He is right by our side.

The Importance of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Why is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead so important to our Christian faith? Because without the resurrection our preaching is pointless our faith is useless and we are still in our sins. The fact that Jesus was raised from the dead validates that He is God, that His sacrifice was accepted and that we now worship a living Savior!

Attracting The Presence of God

"We want to build a church that attracts the presence of God and the presence of God attracts the people." You attract the presence of God through humility, repentance, reading His Word, prayer, praise and worship.

Learning to walk in the Spirit

The Bible tells us to "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." (Gal. 5:16). On this episode we have an around the table discussion, on the things we've all learned, on our faith journey that have helped us to listen to and walk by the Spirit more effectively and consistently.
