Stagione 2
What is most valuable to you? How does that intersect with your relationship with God? Pastor James explores what the Apostle Paul calls "boasting" and shows us that maybe all we value isn't so important. (Original Sermon: 30 June 24)
What is the difference between comparison and perspective? How can we live a life of perspective instead of comparison? How does that interact with our faith in God? Pastor James and Pastor Dena explore this and more in today's episode of the Cutting Room Floor.
What are you afraid of? Do you trust God with you fears? Pastor Dena takes a look at Psalm 56, particularly our Vacation Bible School Theme Verse, as we remember that we all struggle with fear and doubt and suffering.
How do we sense God's presence in our day-to-day life, especially when things seem out of control? This is difficult for every believer (and non-believers, as well!). We face it on a daily basis. Pastor James and Pastor Dena discuss this and more on today's episode.
How aware of God's presence in your life are you? Do you sense God's presence even in the most difficult of times? Pastor James opens up Psalm 46 to discuss how we can know God's presence in every area of our lives. (Original sermon: 9 June 2024)
How does sharing our story help us show God's peace to the world? How do we work through the problems of finding the peace of God in our lives? Pastor James and Pastor Dena explore this and more in today's episode.
What kind of peace do you feel in your relationship with God? Did you know that peace with God is a direct outworking of the Gospel? Pastor James explores this in today's sermon from Romans 5, and Cindy Miller gives her testimony immediately following. (Original sermon date: 2 June 2024)
Have you ever considered the thought that Satan wants to create a division between you and God rather than make you outwardly evil? When thinking in these terms, separation, loneliness, and silence are all tools to make us doubt God’s love for us. Pastor James and Pastor Dena discuss this and more in this week’s episode.
Where do you find your hope for life and living? Do you trust in your own strength? Your family? Friends? Society? As Christians, we claim that our only hope in life and in death is found in Jesus, but we also find strength in the community of believers. Pastor James explores this through 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 and Revelation 12:10-11 in this week's sermon. (Original sermon date: 26 May 24)
What are your gifts? This is a question that we don't ask often enough in the church, and if we do ask it, we're generally looking to meet a need. How can you identify and cultivate your gifts? These are all things that Pastor James and Pastor Dena explore in today's episode of the Cutting Room Floor.
