In Week 4 of our Stinkin’ Thinkin’ series, we dive into one of the most dangerous mindsets that can derail our spiritual lives: Entitlement – the belief that we inherently deserve privileges or special treatment. We explore how entitlement distorts our perspective, blurs the line between rights and privileges, and ultimately pulls us away from a Christ-centered mindset. Through scripture, history (like Napoleon Bonaparte’s legacy), and real-life examples, we’re challenged to trade pride for humility and adopt the mind of Christ. 🔑 Key Verses: Romans 12:2-3 Philippians 2:3-8 Luke 14:7-14 Romans 8:5-6 🙌 Learn how to: Recognize entitlement in your life Realign your thinking with God’s truth Cultivate humility and gratitude Follow Jesus’ example of servant leadership 🧠 “Entitlement dies when we remember who God is and who we really are.” ➡️ Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more messages from The Porch Community Church!…

Stinkin' Thinkin' Week 3 27:36

for 28 dager siden27:36

27:36

In this week's message, we tackle the subtle yet toxic mindset of apathy, exploring its dangers and how it can quietly lead us away from a passionate faith. Drawing from Revelation 3, we learn about the church in Laodicea, which Jesus rebukes for being lukewarm and indifferent. Apathy is described as a slow-growing cancer of the soul, numbing us to the point of spiritual detachment. But there's hope—Jesus calls us to wake up, shake off the numbness, and reignite our passion for Him. Join us as we confront apathy, seek to rekindle our spiritual fire, and embrace a life full of purpose and urgency. Don't miss our practical steps and prayers to help you move from "meh" to fully alive in Christ. …

Welcome to Week 3 of our series, "Experiencing God." Last week, we explored the first reality that God is always at work around us. Today, we're diving into the second reality: God Pursues A Love Relationship With You. We begin our message in 1 John, reflecting on how God doesn't just work for the sake of working but as an active pursuit of a relationship with the people He loves. We were created for one reason—to be in an eternal love relationship with God. Join us as we delve into the profound truth that God's love is the foundation of our existence, highlighted through a powerful story of a member of our community who experienced this love in her final days. As we examine Scripture, we'll be reminded that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Porch Points: You were created for a love relationship with God. You were created for eternity, not for time. This week's message is one of hope, assurance, and the life-transforming love that God offers to each of us. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with God for years, there's something here for you.…

Porch Community! Lets dive into James 4 as we continue our series on "Everyday Faith." Our anchor verse, James 1:22, calls us to not only hear the Word but to live it out in obedience to Jesus. This pursuit of obedience often involves a struggle against various enemies. Join us as we explore the three enemies we must fight against in our everyday faith: Self: Our sinful nature that breeds selfish desires and relational chaos. A Culture Void of God: A world driven by selfish ambition, contrasting with Kingdom culture. The Devil: The father of lies who seeks to derail our faith journey. Through this sermon, we'll uncover how to resist these enemies and draw closer to God, finding strength in His truth and presence.…

This week, we celebrate the 5th birthday of The Porch Community Church and continue our powerful series, "Everyday Faith," with a sermon by Rev. Justin Crenshaw. We dive into James 4:13-17 to explore the themes of life's fragility, God's sovereignty, and the importance of holding our plans loosely. Rev. Crenshaw challenges us to consider how our lives would change if time and money were no objects and encourages us to live with a holy urgency, recognizing our need for God in every moment. Key Points: Life is fragile and fleeting. God is in control, not us. Make plans but hold them loosely, submitting to God's will. Join us for this insightful sermon that will inspire you to live out your faith every day.…

Welcome to Week 6 of our "Everyday Faith" series on The Porch Community Podcast! 🎙️ In this episode, we delve into James 3 and the profound impact of our words. We discuss how everyday faith involves more than just our Sunday best—it's about living out God's word in all aspects of our lives. Our key verse for this series is James 1:22 (NIV): "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." Tune in as we explore: The source of our words and how they reflect our hearts. The power of words to build up or tear down. The need for heart transformation to truly control our tongues. We hope this message encourages you to let God's word shape your thoughts, words, and actions, leading to a life of everyday faith. Scripture References: James 3:3-12 (NLT) Luke 6:45 (NLT) 1 John 4:20 (NLT) Proverbs 12:18 (NLT) James 1:26 (NLT) If this message resonates with you, please share it with others, and consider leaving a review.

for 42 weeks siden49:42

49:42

In this episode of "The 167 Podcast," Lead Pastor Shannon Patterson and Media Pastor Joshua Harrell delve into one of the most profound theological questions: Has God already decided who will follow Him, or do we have a say in the matter? Do we choose God, or does He choose us? Does He preselect those who will spend eternity in heaven or hell? Join us as we explore these questions from a Wesleyan-Arminian perspective, emphasizing free will and God’s grace. We’ll delve into the concept of Prevenient Grace—the grace that goes before us, inviting us onto the porch of faith. Justifying Grace welcomes us through the door, and Sanctifying Grace transforms us within. Discover how Wesleyan-Arminians view human depravity, our inherent inability to do good or repent without divine aid, and the role of Prevenient Grace in drawing us to God. We’ll discuss the biblical basis for these beliefs and how they shape our understanding of salvation. Tune in to gain deeper insights into the interplay between divine grace and human free will.

Join us for Episode 190 of our Apologetics Series as we delve into the timeless debate: Has science disproved the existence of God? In this episode, we confront the assertions of prominent figures like evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who claim that science has invalidated the concept of God. But is that truly the case? We examine compelling arguments from both sides of the aisle, challenging the notion that belief in God is incompatible with intelligence. Through historical insights and scientific evidence, we unravel the narrative that pits faith against reason. Discover the perspectives of legendary scientists like Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein, who found harmony between their faith and their scientific pursuits. We explore the profound insights of thinkers like William Lane Craig and Hugh Ross, who offer compelling reasons to believe in a Creator. From the macroscopic wonders of the universe to the microscopic intricacies of life, we uncover evidence that points unmistakably to a Designer. Yet, we also confront the biases inherent in the evolutionary worldview, as revealed by the very scientists who champion it. Join us as we navigate the intersection of science and faith, challenging assumptions and seeking truth in the ongoing dialogue between Science and God.…

Episode 189 The 167 Podcast - Apologetics Series Pt. 3 - The Evidence For Jesus’ Divine Nature 41:06

for 46 weeks siden41:06

41:06

Welcome to Episode 189 of our Apologetics Series. Today, we delve into the profound evidence for Jesus’ divine nature, a topic that has been scrutinized more than any other in human history. The life and teachings of Jesus have sparked a variety of reactions—some label Him a deceiver, while others have journeyed from skepticism to firm belief in His deity. Still, many sit on the fence, acknowledging His moral teachings but denying His divine sonship. So, what evidence supports the claim that Jesus is the Son of God? Jesus Fulfilled Old Testament Messianic Prophecies Jesus, the apostles, and New Testament prophets frequently referenced Old Testament prophecies to affirm His messianic identity (cf. Luke 24:25-27, 44; Acts 8:30-39). Jesus fulfilled over 300 specific prophecies, including: Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; cf. Genesis 3:15) Descendant of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah (Genesis 22:18; 26:4; 49:10; Numbers 24:17) Regal monarch (Psalm 89:3-4; Isaiah 9:6-7; Psalm 110:1) and suffering servant (Isaiah 53) Betrayed by a friend (Psalm 41:9) for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:13) Entered Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9) Clothes distributed by casting lots (Psalm 22:18) Pierced by attackers (Zechariah 12:10) Bones not broken (Psalm 34:20) Body would not decay (Psalm 16:10) These are a few examples among many that identify Jesus as the Messiah. He uniquely fulfilled these prophecies, events that would be impossible to orchestrate artificially. The New Testament Reliability The New Testament's historical accuracy supports Jesus' messianic claims. Archaeology and historical records consistently affirm its accounts, making it the most reliable ancient text. The fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, even those involving ordinary events like Jesus’ betrayal for 30 pieces of silver or riding a donkey into Jerusalem, confirms the divine orchestration of His life. Jesus Worked Miracles Jesus’ miracles served as divine confirmation of His identity and message (Exodus 4:1-9; 1 Kings 18:36-39; Mark 16:20; Hebrews 2:3-4). He performed numerous miracles, such as healing the sick, calming storms, and raising the dead, proving His divine authority (John 20:30-31). Variety of Miracles Jesus healed lepers, restored sight to the blind, and even raised the dead (Matthew 15:30; Luke 7:14-15; John 11:1-44). His miracles demonstrated His power over nature, sickness, and death—feats no one else has replicated. Jesus’ Sinless Life Despite severe scrutiny, Jesus lived a sinless life. His challenge, “Which of you convicts Me of sin?” (John 8:46), remains unanswered, affirming His moral perfection (Hebrews 4:15). Conclusion The evidence for Jesus’ deity is compelling: He fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, performed countless miracles, predicted His death and resurrection, accepted worship, lived sinlessly, and claimed divine authority to forgive sins. This overwhelming evidence leads us to proclaim, like Thomas, “My Lord and My God” (John 20:28). Join us as we explore these profound truths, affirming the divine nature of Jesus Christ.…

Numbers Week 8 31:44

for 47 weeks siden31:44

31:44

Welcome to today's episode as we conclude our series on the book of Numbers. We've journeyed through this book, witnessing God's unwavering grace and mercy sustain His people through their time in the wilderness. Despite their complaints and disobedience, God's grace never faltered. Porch Point #1: God’s Grace Sustains His People Numbers shows us God's grace in action, sustaining the Israelites even as they rebelled and grumbled. We see this clearly in chapters 11, 14, 16, and 25. Their persistent disobedience contrasts sharply with God's consistent mercy. As Israel nears the Promised Land, we encounter a pivotal moment in Numbers 27:12-14. God allows Moses to see the Promised Land but denies him entry due to his earlier rebellion. This teaches us that even leaders are accountable to God's laws, but it also underscores God's faithfulness to His promises despite human failures. Porch Point #2: Moses’ Mistake Magnifies the Messiah Moses' disobedience in Numbers 20, when he struck the rock instead of speaking to it, points us to the need for a perfect mediator. Jesus, unlike Moses, fulfills this role perfectly. In Luke 24:27 and 44-53, Jesus explains how all scripture points to Him, fulfilling what Moses started. Porch Point #3: Jesus Justifies the Journey Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 remind us that the journey of the Israelites serves as a warning and a lesson for us. Just as they faced temptations and trials, so do we. But through it all, God remains faithful, providing us with the strength to endure. In closing, remember that the story of Numbers is ultimately about God's grace. It points us to Jesus, who is the fulfillment of all God's promises and the ultimate guide on our spiritual journey.…
