Faith Through Vision Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Synopsis: This discussion brings to light what faith and vision look like on display. We often get clouded in judgement and overlook what God is calling us to do. When we have a faith rooted in actively building a relationship with God, that faith leads us to obedience and that obedience leads us to the vision He has for our lives. We speak about communication and how that communication in marriage leads to fruitful partnership. Tune into this discussion with Brandon Queen, Kevin and Chiaki Brooks.
Meet the Guest: This married duo has been married for over 21 years and have three children together. The Brooks family live in Thibodaux, Louisiana. Chiaki has been in education for 15 years and has had her LLC for her bakery since 2016. Kevin has been in law enforcement for 22 years and has spent the last five years as a School Resource Officer. The couple both own Chic by Chiaki, Cakes and Confections which is a local baker in Thibodaux and serve several parishes. This couple is a prime example of faith on display looks like even with ups and downs. They consider themselves servants for a greater cause.

Faith Through Music Oct 29, 2021

If It Had Not Been For the Lord...Psalm 124 Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

First Presbyterian Church Online (August 2, 2020)
This sermon by Rev. Bill Crawford simply reminds us that the Lord for us, He love is and He died for us! I hope this message powers you through this week and that you can feel the Lord's presence.
Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
5 then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Love not Hate, and the Meaning of Words Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

This episode is a discussion on which lives matter and what does it mean to the Christian body of believers. Although this episode is opinionated beliefs, it still follows the Christian teachings based on biblical ideology and principals that have worked or centuries.
#blacklivesmatter can be a group that just as guilty as perpetuating just at the KKK. We must learn to live amongst one another without using #adjectives to describe who or what we look like on the outside. As a reminder, my pastor once said "The man on the cross is better than the person in the mirror, always." When we learn to sit at the table with Judas, we will learn the love of Jesus Christ.
This country has its faults, two black eyes and a busted lip, but the healing begins when we all learn to love one another, and forgive their sins. We are all sinners and we all fall short of God's glory and we are all in need of a savior.
To my Christian brothers and sisters of a darker hue, please receive this message/discussion as way to orient you to a Christian thinking. I personally believe that BLM does not have the interest of all BLACK people at the front of their agenda. Don't you forget that Satan and hide behind an organization that appears to be good, however, it is pure evil manifested.
Luke Negron and I met on TicTok. Together the Pennsylvanian and Louisianan come up with this discussion as two different people, of two different ethos and of two different cultures. The one thing they have in common is the Love of Jesus Christ. Thats right, they are both Christians.

Psalm 123 with Rev Bill Crawford Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

This sermon touches on what Psalm 123 means to the Christian and how it is relevant in your lives today. Pastor Bill Crawford reminds us that "the justice of God has been served by his Son" Jesus Christ. We often get caught up in what injustices are committed and not so much on the justice that is served. Pastor Bill Crawford reminds us that "Jesus is the radiance of the Glory of God" and hour radiance is embedded in Christ Jesus.
We have to remember that "the man on the cross is better than the man in the mirror, always." I pray this sermon finds you well and helps you understand God.
