What DoYou Do When...? Christians Let You Down 38:56

for 1 day siden38:56

38:56

One of the biggest objections to Christianity is the hypocrisy that shows up often amongst people who claim to be Christians. If you’ve ever been let down by Christians, it’s easy to consider walking away from the Church. What do we do when Christians let us down? Text: Matthew 23:27-28, 33; Titus 1:16; Hebrews 5:13-14; 1 John 1:8-10, 2:1-2 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

What Do You Do When...? It's hard to believe it because you can't see it. 32:20

for 8 dager siden32:20

32:20

After the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to several of the disciples. In fact there are 13 post-resurrection appearances of Jesus in the N.T. When the disciples told Thomas about seeing Jesus, his response was “Unless I see the nail wounds and put my fingers into them, I won’t believe.” Thomas has unfortunately been given a bad rap, but in reality, most of us have similar questions and doubts.

A Gentle Answer: "Us vs. Them" 31:04

for 22 dager siden31:04

31:04

We live in a very tribalistic society that has created an “Us vs. Them” approach to life. If someone doesn’t agree with you - they are them. When we choose gentleness, we create room for reconciliation and restoration in our relationships. Maybe we can break the cycle of “Us vs. Them”. Text: 2 Timothy 2:14-15, 22-26 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

A Gentle Answer: Following The Leader 31:43

for 29 dager siden31:43

Jesus embodied Gentleness over and over, including with people who opposed Him.

A Gentle Answer: There Is A Better Way 38:46

for 5 weeks siden38:46

38:46

Gentleness is not weakness. In fact, gentleness is a powerful, Christ-like response that disarms hostility and helps to build better relationships. What if we didn’t have to respond to opposition with aggression and defensiveness? Text: Proverbs 15:1, 4; 19:11, 18; 29:11; 14:1, 3 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Leftovers: The Problem of Half-Hearted Obedience 39:12

for 6 weeks siden39:12

39:12

God actively calls his people to holy living - no matter where or when they live. When we only obey partially, it results in full disobedience. However, if we will obey the Lord and follow Him, he promises to bring blessings. Text: Haggai 2:10-24 Speaker: Aaron Patton

Leftovers: More Than We Can See 30:25

for 7 weeks siden30:25

30:25

Have you ever been discouraged? Ever felt like everything you’re doing isn’t amounting to anything compared to others? When we give God the priority in our lives, he demonstrates that we can resist discouragement and trust that His work is bigger, greater, and more long-term than we can currently see.

Leftovers: Misplaced Priorities 37:31

for 8 weeks siden37:31

37:31

The Israelite people had been through a lot! Years of captivity under the Babylonian and Media/Persian empires had cost them dearly. When they were finally released to return home and restore things, the daily challenges that they faced surely caused them to reorient their priorities. Sadly, the new priorities led to some major problems. What happens when God’s people shift their priorities from God’s instructions to their own comforts? Haggai 1 shows us and calls us to examine our priorities and act promptly on what God has commanded. Text: Haggai 1 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Invisible God: Silence and Solitude 41:03

for 9 weeks siden41:03

41:03

In the chaos of our urban, digital age, it’s easier than ever to “gain the whole world and yet lose your soul.” But how can we have a relationship with a God we cannot see? The answer lies in intentionally setting aside time to be alone with God. Silence and solitude allow us to break free from the noise and distractions of everyday life, enabling us to be fully present in the presence of God. Text: Luke 5:15-16 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Invisible God: Fasting (with prayer) 32:46

for 10 weeks siden32:46

32:46

Fasting is often misunderstood and underutilized in today's indulgent culture, despite being a vital practice in the teachings of Jesus. If we desire a genuine relationship with God, we must engage in fasting. In a society characterized by excess and indulgence, many have become enslaved to their bodily desires. Fasting provides a path to regain control over those desires and achieve mastery over ourselves. Text: Matthew 6:16-18 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Invisible God: Sabbath 38:19

38:19

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Jesus says, come to me. Get away with me, and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. If you want to have a relationship with a God you can’t see, you will have to slow down and sabbath. If you don’t take the Sabbath, the Sabbath will take you. Text: Matthew 11:28-12:1; Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Invisible God: Follow Jesus 35:24

for 12 weeks siden35:24

35:24

Following Jesus involves more than just attending church or believing the right things; it requires practicing a Way of life. To build a relationship with a God we cannot see, we need to invest time in following Jesus and reading Scripture. Our posture while engaging with the Bible is more important than just the technique we use. It’s less about information and more about transformation. When read with the right heart posture, that of openness and yieldedness to God, Scripture becomes one of the primary means by which the Spirit of Jesus forms us into the people we were always meant to be. Passage: Mark 1:16-20; 2:13-14; 3:13-19; 8:34-37; Matthew 5:17-19 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Pre-Decide: Finisher 38:18

for 13 weeks siden38:18

38:18

If you’re not dead, you’re not done—God has more for you. You can overcome challenges, pursue your goals, and live a remarkable life that honors God. You’ve just got to keep moving forward, one step at a time. When you feel tired or discouraged, you need to remember Who you’re running for and take the next step. You don’t have to finish the race all at once; you only need to take the next step. Our ultimate example and source of motivation to keep going is Jesus, who fixed His eyes on us. Now, we fix our eyes on Him. Passage: Hebrews 12:1-3; John 19:28-30 Speaker: Aaron Patton…

Pre-Decide: Ready 29:40

for 14 weeks siden29:40

29:40

The Bible makes it clear that Satan is a spiritual enemy intent on destroying us. His methods often involve disguising harmful temptations as things that feel appealing or right. Relying solely on willpower to resist temptation can only take you so far. However, God offers a more effective approach: pre-deciding. Instead of struggling to resist temptation when it arises, you can take steps today to eliminate its power over you. Learn how God equips us to say no to sin in advance, trusting that His way is not only right but also the most fulfilling path for our lives. Passage: Genesis 39:1-12; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15-16 Speaker: Dallas Seamans…
