    Ruth 1 isn't just the start of a love story—it's the beginning of redemption. In this message, Pastor Josh walks through a chapter marked by loss, return, and quiet hope. From famine in Bethlehem to a bold vow in Moab, we see how God begins to restore what was broken. Even in bitterness, He is at work. And sometimes, coming back empty is exactly how the healing begins… as we return to the Garden.

    What Do You Think?

    What do you think of when you think about God? It turns out that what we think about God, and what we think about what God thinks of us actually matter; it determines the way we live this life and how we treat other people. It's tough to get life right when we've got the wrong view of God. As we look at Acts 14, we are going to see this in action. In the town of Lystra we going to see a lame man healed, the people treat Paul and Barnabas as gods, and how the two of them try to set the crowd straight. Paul and Barnabas will also face other opposition, but in the end the Gospel message is spread far and wide and the one true God is honored and glorified.

    Do you get stuck in the paralysis of analysis when it comes to making decisions? Do you think “should I do this” or “should I do that?” Do you think it would be nice if you just knew intuitively what to do? In this message, we address this very topic by looking at the life of Abraham. We find that Abraham was fully available to God and was willing to do whatever God asked of him; he said “Here I am.” This is exemplified by him offering his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. We will see that our greatest ability is our availability and that obedience draws us towards God. When we open our hands and say to God “here I am” – we find that our decision-making is simplified and we can rest in the knowledge that we are following God's will for our lives.

    What do you think the difference is between those people that are really fulfilled in life and everybody else? It's not their intelligence, it's not their talent. It really all boils down to planning effectively. In this week's message we look at Nehemiah. He modeled what a life planned and focused looks like. He remained focused on the task in hand, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, and was not distracted by people trying to trap and kill him. He stayed working on the wall for the city. We are going to ask ourselves, “what is our wall?” - what is the one thing we have to do? Then we will address what might be distracting us from staying on task and letting the urgent consume the important. We will also see the value of planning and pre-deciding in all that we do.

And prevents us from walking in true freedom because we seek to please people and not God. We'll look at 1 Kings 19 and see how Elijah let this fear overtake him and learn how we can overcome it.

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 4, 2024 34:36


    We all get shaken up in life from time to time, but how do we avoid getting derailed when it happens? We will find the answer by looking back at the early church. In Acts Chapter 4, we see that Peter and John face opposition from the Temple Leaders. They recognize that God is the ultimate judge, they speak of what they have seen and heard, and they get around other Jesus followers. By doing these things, they are able to handle the pressure of the situation and although they were shaken, they were not stirred. If we do the same, and we anchor our faith in Jesus, we too can weather the storms of life and can be a witness for Him.
