Nathan Galloway Podcast

We all have things or even people in our lives that we view as UNTOUCHABLE. We view them this way for all kinds of reasons. Whether it's because of fear, uncomfortable ness, the color of their skin, certain kinds of sins, the type of church they attend there is something about them that makes them UNTOUCHABLE to us. In this message we will take a look a Jesus and the way he responded to the untouchables in society and how we are called to do the same!

Why was I born? Why am I here? These are some of the biggest questions in life! In this message we will learn the answer to these questions and the answers might surprise you! We all want our lives to count for something, sensing that our brief stay on earth can either be wasted on trivial things or invested in the stuff that matters most. The problem arises as we try to figure out what we're supposed to do with our lives, navigating daily choices and decisions that determine our future. Learning from the life of Jesus and George Washington Carver we we see God has called us all to live a wild life. What is your peanut?

Think (RED). Have you ever wondered why Christianity is so bloody? Doesn't it seem so archaic and barbaric? The Bible is filled with the shedding and sacrificing of blood. It is referenced to 380 times in this context. Many people, even some Christians, choose to ignore or not deal with this part of Christianity. We do this mainly because it makes us feel uncomfortable or we don't understand it. But every time blood is mentioned there is a PURPOSE and in this series we want to bring that purpose to the forefront. In doing so we might start to even live and think differently in light of all that blood.

un•ex•pect•ed: not expected or anticipated; surprising or unforeseen. We have all experienced the unexpectedness of life. As a matter of fact one thing we can expect in life is the unexpected. Sometimes the unexpected things in life can be good or bad, but usually the unexpected is difficult for us to deal with. How do we deal with the unexpected things of life? In this message we learn the one thing we can always expect is Gods will to be done.

As we approach this time of year we set aside a day to remind ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for. We call it THANKSGIVING, but we all know there are times in life that it is difficult to be thankful. Bad things happen and circumstances change. The scripture tells us that we are to, rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks. How do we do this or live this out? In this message we learn how to live a life of thankfulness even when turkeys attack!

WIRED: For a life of worship. When you hear the word worship what do you think of? Ask yourself the question, What or who do you worship? When you follow the trail of your time, energy, affection, and money you find a throne. And whatever or whomever is on that throne is the object of your worship! All day long we give our time, energy and affection to something or someone. Day by day, we declare our allegiance. In other words, we worship. Worship is about what we value most. Not just for the religious within church walls, worship is the core activity of the human soul. That means you are a worshiper! It is how you are wired. What is essential is that we choose wisely, worshiping what is ultimately worthy of our lives both now and forever. The challenge of this series is a lifestyle of worship, a whole-life response to a glorious God.

GODS HERD: It starts at an early age. On the play ground boys separate from the girls. As we continue on and get older in our school years we see it even more. You walk into a school lunch room and the separation continues. You have your jocks, geeks, preps, rednecks, gothics, band members, cheerleaders, etc. It is like when we get older we began to separate into these cliques, groups, or herds. Did you know that God has a group or herd? It is called the Church. What does it take to be apart of this herd? What makes this herd different than all the rest?

SALVIFIC: (sal•vif•ic) Is Latin for the word Salvation. It means having the intention or power to bring about salvation or redemption. Have you ever been asked or heard someone ask the question, Are you Saved? Even if you are not sure what that question means it still seems like a pretty important or serious question! In this two part series we want to try to clarify and maybe even help you answer this question.

There is something about teenagers that drives us to our knees and makes us desperately afraid that we have somehow botched our jobs as parents.

SICKO: Maybe you have experienced this or at least now someone who has. At one point in your life you are doing well spiritually. You are active in church, spending time with God, and living a godly life. Then something happens! Within a matter of weeks or months (because it never happens over night) you began to change and not for the better. You have stopped hanging out with your Christian friends, stopped going to church, and you can not remember the last time you talked to God. For some they even turn their back on everything they believed in. How does this happen? How do we become so spiritually sick? In this message we will look at the symptoms or signs that you are sick as well as some preventive measures you can take to keep this from happening to you!

Evangelism? Just the word alone strikes fear into so many Christians. Many view it as something so complicated and difficult. In this message we want to offer a simple approach or strategy when it comes to sharing your faith with others.

INVASION-War of the Worlds: Orson Welles' War of the Worlds originally broadcasted over the radio on October 30, 1938. Panic and terror quickly set in as people tuned into the broadcast after it had started which led them to believe that an actual alien invasion was happening! Just as people believed in a war that was not real there are many who do not believe or realize that there is a very real war that all of us are facing! 1 Peter 2:11 states that; Dear friends, I urge you, as Aliens and Strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. In this message we see there are three things that war against us all and in our darkest hour the Rescuer came. This message is the closing message from INVASION Weekend.

The Loudest Song: We are all on a personal journey of worship in our lives and even though we might be on different points along that journey there is one kind of moment that will challenge all of us in our worship along the way. It is the moment when the dark hour or the storms of life come. It is easy to worship God when things are good, but it is hard when things are bad. We will gleam insight from the story of when Paul and Silas were thrown into prison after a very bad day and how they chose to respond in that moment. What we will see is that all of us in those moments of life have a choice and that choice is to press PLAY or PAUSE. We will see in this message that when choose to press PLAY in the dark hours of life a song emerges. The song is simply known as The Loudest Song!

SALT: Some know it as the White Wonder, but most of us know it as SALT. Jesus in the middle of the most famous sermon ever preached made this statement, You are the Salt of the earth.

WATCHMEN: Many of us view sharing the Gospel with others as optional, but when we look at the scriptures we find it is anything but!

In this message we will see how God has put this same calling on all of us who call ourselves Christians. We will also learn what is required of and what the duties of a watchman really are.

PRODIGAL: Amazing grace! Do we really get it? Do we really comprehend that at the core of the gospel lies the extravagance of a loving Father powerfully expressed in the grace of a willing Savior? Looking deeper into the story commonly known as The Prodigal Son, yet more accurately telling of a lavish Father, coupled with the sharing of a real life story of a son wanting to come back home, we see unhindered love poured out as acceptance and grace meet our failures with God's embrace. The power of the cross is displayed as God's capacity to forgive outshines doubt and shame and reconciliation beckons all.

Rev-o-lu-tion: 1. a complete change of any kind. 2. an overthrow of a social system, with another taking its place. About two thousand years ago a man named Jesus started a revolution with the purpose of changing the world and life forever. As people began to follow Jesus and join this revolution it gave birth to what is called the church or more accurately called the Body of Christ. In this series we will look at this revolution and its revolutionary leader. We will examine the state of the church today and compare it to the biblical picture of the church as God intended it to be. The core purpose of this series is to help us recognize that we are not called to GO to church. We are called to BE the Church!
