Peacemakers, Part 1: The Story of Shalom - Heather Zempel Nov 03, 2019

Show notes

Something has gone wrong with the world, God has a plan to set it right, and his people are challenged to play a role in the restoration. Jesus said “blessed are the peacemakers.” Peacemakers go out of the way to make peace, love their enemies to make peace, and leverage their power to serve to make peace. In this series, we will endeavor to be on mission with Jesus every day by practicing the ways that make for peace. Ask anything, listen well, disagree freely, love regardless.

Correction: The correct name of the peacemaker Pastor Heather mentions is Daoud Nassar of Tent of Nations, Palestine.

Double Blessing, Part 2: The Attitude of Gratitude - Dr. Mark Batterson Oct 20, 2019

Show notes

The will of God is a lot less circumstantial and a lot more attitudinal than we imagine. The circumstances we are asking God to change may be the circumstances God is using to change us. How do you cultivate the attitude of gratitude?

Whatever you don’t turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.
Your FOCUS determines your reality.
Don’t let what’s WRONG WITH YOU keep you from worshipping what’s RIGHT WITH GOD.

Double Blessing, Part 1: Original Blessing - Dr. Mark Batterson Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

Before original sin there was original blessing. If we get that sequence wrong, the entire algorithm is off. Why? Because it changes who we see when we look in the mirror. Because it alters the way we relate to God. Blessing is God’s most ancient instinct. It’s also our deepest longing. The good news? God wants to bless you beyond your ability to ask or imagine.

Unsung, Part 6: Unsung and Un-named - Dr. Dick Foth Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

Bit players- people who played an unsung part in God's redemption story. It only takes one small act to move the Gospel ball down the field. The unsung are often unnamed that play a pivotal role that drastically changes an outcome. This week, we talk about those unsung and unnamed heroes within Scripture through the life of a little boy (John 6:1-15) and a widowed woman (Mark 12:41-44).

Unsung, Part 5: I See You - Joshua Symonette Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

Jesus added value to those who were described as having no value in society (Luke 5:12-14). And he made a practice of seeing the unseen. One of the synonyms for "unsung" is unseen. The encouragement is for those of us who are Jesus followers to intentionally see and touch the unseen.

Unsung, Part 4: Barnabas: First in Assists - Heather Zempel Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

Leaders aren’t intimidated by other people’s gifts and abilities; they build a platform for them. Barnabas was a minor character in the book of Acts, but his influence extends to us today. He invested in a story larger than his own, gave Paul a place to belong and a place to matter, and gave John Mark a second chance.

Unsung, Part 3: Remember the Ladies - Dr. Mark Batterson Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

There is a long line of women in Scripture who overcome the odds, put prejudice in its place, defy cultural conventions, and break through the glass ceiling. In the grand scheme of history, women are the unsung heroes. It’s the risks they take, the sacrifices they, and sometimes, the rules they break that change the trajectory of history.

Unsung, Part 2: Radical Obedience - Joel Schmidgall Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

What miracle is on the other side of your bold action?

What story is God waiting to write beyond your act of obedience?

What revelation is ready in anticipation of your word of testimony?

Our story today will challenge you in your faith and the way you walk it out. What does radical obedience look like for you? It’s one thing to live your life dutifully. But what if it cost you something? Real giving, real sacrifice, real obedience should hurt!

Leonard Ravenhill said, "The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity." Faith will cost you something, but it will gain you everything. Walk with us through Acts 9 and the story of a little known man named Ananias and the lengths he is willing to go to live out obedience and the subsequent miracle that follows. We pray your soul is encouraged and your faith is challenged.

Unsung, Part 1: Unsung - Dr. Mark Batterson Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

Living UNSUNG is doing what we do for an audience of one. It’s living for the applause of nail-scarred hands. It’s making the most of our time, talent, and treasure. It’s recognizing that potential is God’s gift to us, what we do with it is our gift back to God.
