Rooted - Back To Basics

Everyone knows someone great at what they do. Whether it is an athlete, CEO, mom, musician, cook or whatever, those people that excel have a couple things in common. They submit themselves to the best practices of their craft and they do it over and over again. The shaping of our soul is no different. To thrive in our relationship with Jesus we need to submit ourselves to certain practices that Jesus taught and that people with vibrant spiritual lives incorporate into their life rhythms. This week we begin the discussion of what those are and why they are important.

Upside Down - Peacemakers In The Way Of Jesus (B)

According to Jesus, peacemakers (or shalom-makers) are blessed and called children of God in this kingdom coming from heaven. As God’s children we too have this peacemaking gene and are called to join God in the family business of making all things new. HOW? First, Biblical peacemakers trust God and God’s vision for the world; second they are honest about their own violence and sin; and third they dare to enter the messy and dark areas of our world expecting to meet Jesus there.

New Beginnings: Intro

Jesus really doesn’t care about your social status. Whether you are rich or poor, educated or uneducated, “high class” or “low class” or anywhere in between. He wants to have a conversation with you. It may not be super comfortable but it will be honest and will be intended to help you get to where you were created to be.

Awesome Stories: Lazarus

Are there parts of your life that seem impossible to bring healing to? Maybe it's a past relationship, a decision or a season of life. This week we look at someone who had no hope at all. In fact, they were dead. Jesus had other plans and another perspective.

Awesome Stories: The Blind Man

What happens when you have an encounter with Jesus that you can’t explain? You don’t have all the facts and you don’t know why, what, and how? In this story, Jesus has an impact on a man’s life and the man is forced to declare three very scary words…”I don’t know.”

Distractions: Why Pain is Allowed

Can a loving, all-powerful God allow evil? It would seem that if he was loving he wouldn’t allow us to suffer. So maybe he’s not all-powerful after all. If he were all-powerful and loving he would make us all happy, right? There is one problem that. We talk about it this week.

Distractions: Thriving in Your Current Reality -Part 2

Sometimes we make decisions we regret. No matter how much we want to fix them and get things back the way they were, the truth is that some things can never be the same again. Rarely do these regrets happen as a result of one tragic decision, but rather, from small changes in behavior that build to something bigger. Many times, it begins with a fantasy. But how do we recognize those small changes? And, more importantly, how do we stop them before they get out of control?

G&B Life: Go Live It!

As we close the Good & Beautiful Life series, only one thing is left: go live a good & beautiful life! If we don't apply all that we have learned, it doesn't do us any good. The bible urges us to be "doers of the Word" and not just a hearer. What is one area of your life where you can begin to apply the teachings from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount? *At the end of this podcast there will be a 5-minute silence and prayer excericise that encourage you to complete. Pastor John will then end the time with some closing words.*

G&B Life: Beattitudes

When you think of experiencing a "move of the Holy Spirit", what comes to mind? For most of us, a move of God means something supernatural, miraculous, or awe-inspiring; like seeing someone healed right in front of you. While God chooses to work in these ways at times, Jesus is pointing us to a different way of experiencing God's power during the famous Beattitudes message. According to Jesus, being meek and lowly, or mistreated for Christ's sake can be miraculous events when those times are used to bring glory back to God. Let's seek Him in the everyday, today.

G&B Life: Judging

Perspective truly is everything, especially when it comes to what we think about others. The trouble is, sometimes we come to conclusions about people before we know what their story is, and make judgements without enough perspective on the situation. Instead of judging others this week, let's try to give people the benefit of the doubt and show grace. We may find that our way of viewing others will begin to change in the process.

Desicions: Intro

If you are building something, it's important to read the instructions and follow the guidelines about correct using measurements, tools, fasteners, etc. Only when those guidelines are followed can you build something useful, beautiful, sturdy, etc. The same is true in our own lives; if we submit to the systems that God has designed, things will work correctly. This is not to say that life will be easy or pain-free, but when we are operating within God's design our lives will become more whole, regret-free, and peaceful.
