Podcast appearances and mentions of scott hubbard

Scott Hubbard | On any given Sunday, God can change a life forever. So, lift your voice with confidence, pastor, and do not grow weary in doing good.

Scott Hubbard | When you face temptation, do you ever remind yourself that you have a soul — a soul immortal yet perishable, a soul only Christ can satisfy?

Scott Hubbard | God not only gives us good, richly and continually, and he not only works our good, always and in everything, but he is himself our greatest good, now and forever.

Scott Hubbard | When a woman poured out a year's worth of perfume upon Jesus, some saw loss, but he saw love. Some called it waste, but he called it worship.

Scott Hubbard | Men may lead the corporate gathering on Sunday morning, but without the every-day ministry of both men and women, our churches wither.

Scott Hubbard | Sometimes, the solution to our spiritual struggles is less spiritual than we thought. God's world, and not just his word, may hold the remedy we need.

Scott Hubbard | In a world of urgent needs, urgent demands, and urgent responsibilities, one priority is more urgent than them all: prayer.

Scott Hubbard | Unless we keep our hearts with all vigilance, they won't be kept. So, on the cusp of a new year, how warm is your heart toward Jesus?

A brother in Christ’s carelessness keeps replaying in your mind. A sister’s comment turns a sunny day dark and leaves you distracted and distressed. Try to throw the memory away from you, and it comes back like a boomerang.The apostle Paul tells us what to do when such offenses come: “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another (Ephesians 4:32)." Without regular forgiveness, the love of a local church dies. Eventually, the church dies too. But how do we move from offense to forgiveness, especially when the moment keeps coming to mind? https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/when-offenses-come Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wkesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Hubbard | From Eden to Advent, the world endured a long loneliness, exiled from God's presence. But Christ came to bring us home, to end our exile, to be God with us without end.

Scott Hubbard | The healthiest Christians forget about themselves often. So, if you find yourself too focused on yourself, consider six modest steps toward joyful self-forgetfulness.

Scott Hubbard | The offhand jab, the subtle snub, the thoughtless comment — within the body of Christ, offense is inevitable. How do we keep on overlooking and forgiving?

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Imagine a society where no one had to work. Robots and artificial intelligence performed all essential jobs while advanced technologies provided unlimited clean energy, food, and consumer goods. Human beings were free to pursue their passions and spend time with loved ones instead of working. What would life look like in this futuristic work-free world? [...] For the first time in history, our jobs wouldn't dictate how we spend our days.”~Roy Lam, Data Scientist and Psychometrician, “What Life Would Look Like if Humans Didn't Have to Work Anymore” “The image of God was never meant to yawn through life. Yet those who are paying attention will also see something more in this tragi-comic sloth: themselves. We all have an inner sluggard, counseling us to sleep when we should rise, rest when we should work, eat when we should move.”~Scott Hubbard, pastor in Minneapolis, “The Sluggard in Me: Four Lies that Lead to Laziness” “The wise man knows that the sluggard is no freak, but, as often as not, an ordinary man who has made too many excuses, too many refusals, and too many postponements. It has all been as imperceptible, and as pleasant, as falling asleep.”~Derek Kidner, Bible Commentator and Old Testament Scholar, Proverbs “In short, work – and lots of it – is an indispensable component in a meaningful human life. It is a supreme gift from God and one of the main things that gives our lives purpose. But it must play its proper role, subservient to God. It must regularly give way not just to work stoppage for bodily repair but also in joyful reception of the world and of ordinary life…. When we think, ‘I hate work!' we should remember that, despite the fact that work can be a particularly potent reminder (and even amplifier) of the curse of sin on all things, it is not itself a curse. We were built for it and freed by it. But when we feel that our lives are completely absorbed by work, remember that we must honor work's limits. There is no better starting point for a meaningful work life than a firm grasp of this balanced work and rest theology.”~Tim Keller (1950-2023), pastor in New York, Every Good EndeavorSERMON PASSAGEProverbs 6:6-11, 12:11, 21:5, 25-26 (ESV)Proverbs 66 Go to the ant, O sluggard;  consider her ways, and be wise.7 Without having any chief,  officer, or ruler,8 she prepares her bread in summer  and gathers her food in harvest.9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard?   When will you arise from your sleep?10 A little sleep, a little slumber,   a little folding of the hands to rest,11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,   and want like an armed man. Proverbs 1211 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,   but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense. Proverbs 215 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,  but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty…25 The desire of the sluggard kills him,   for his hands refuse to labor.26 All day long he craves and craves,   but the righteous gives and does not hold back. Exodus 20 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.Ephesians 2 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.  John 5 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me, that man said to me, ‘Take up your bed, and walk.'” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

Scott Hubbard | What if the worst happens? In Romans 8, the apostle Paul takes us to our darkest fears and inscribes above them all, “More than conquerors through him who loved us.”

Scott Hubbard | Our Lord calls us to look within. Yet alongside healthy introspection are a dozen dangers — paths that will yield not more self-knowledge but rather more anxiety and fear.

Scott Hubbard | Christians are sojourners and exiles in this world — strangers. And to live up to that name, we need a community to help us stay faithfully strange.

"Honor and be Humble with One Another"Romans 12:10, I Peter 5:5 and Philippines 2:1-11, Matthew 23:12.Scripture calls to honor one another, which means to put others above ourselves, and to humble ourselves means to put ourselves below or behind others.  Jesus is our best example of both of these things, and we also see from Him that, in the end, God exalts those who humble themselves.____________________________________________________________Community: The One Another VersesOne of the greatest gifts God gives us is the community of the Church.  This community supports and encourages us in so many ways. It is also an important witness to the world and an essential tool for ministry as we reach out to those who don't know Jesus and seek to draw them into the Church.  Yet, life in community isn't always easy.  For that reason, this fall, we'll be looking at what is known as the "one another" passages. To paraphrase Scott Hubbard, the "one another" passages offer a brilliant picture of life together in community, not only under the lordship of Christ but also in the pattern of Christ.  Rightly understood, the one-another passages are nothing less than the life of Christ at work in the people of Christ to the glory of Christ. Orchard Community Church8180 Telephone RdVentura CA 93004www.OrchardVentura.orgContact us at Info@OrchardVentura.orgOrchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190

Scott Hubbard | Godly introspection is a road, not a room, that ever takes us to the same glorious place: Jesus. And some of the best sights of Christ come at the end of that road.

"Encourage and Build Up One Another" 2 Corinthians 13:11, Romans 14:19, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Hebrews 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 4:18, 1 Timothy 5:1-2, Hebrews 10:23-25  Life and faith are hard; for these reasons, scripture calls us to "encourage one another" and "build one another up.  We are to be a support system for one another to carry us through hard times and help us thrive.___________________________________________________________Community: The One Another VersesOne of the greatest gifts God gives us is the community of the Church.  This community supports and encourages us in so many ways.

Scott Hubbard | How can we confess our sins in a way that pleases God? Heed God's fatherly hand, honestly name your sins, embrace God's free forgiveness, and walk away glad in him.

"Members of One Another" Romans 12:3-8 and Matthew 12:46-50Christianity is not a solo quest, nor is it something we do together with no responsibility to one another.  Scripture says that we are "members of one another," which means we share a deep spiritual bond and commitment to one another in Christ._________________________________________________Community: The One Another VersesOne of the greatest gifts God gives us is the community of the Church.  This community supports and encourages us in so many ways.

"Love and Forgive One Another"John 13:34-35 and Colossians 3:13To begin this series, we'll look at the two "one another" statements that are most fundamental to our life together in community, the call to love and forgive one another, and note how they both flow from our relationship with Jesus.______________________________________________________________________Community: The One Another VersesOne of the greatest gifts God gives us is the community of the Church.  This community supports and encourages us in so many ways.

Scott Hubbard | Are you a world Christian serving a worldwide Lord? Jesus sends us outside of ourselves, our families, and our comforts to care about the nations he came to save.

Scott Hubbard | How can the present holiness of Christians bring God pleasure? Because true holiness, however imperfect, beats sin with God's own pleasure in himself.

The Redemption of Sex — 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 Pr. Scott Hubbard

Scott Hubbard | Children need to see a dad ambitious to spread God's kingdom in the world. But with equal surety, children need to see a dad ambitious about being dad.

Scott Hubbard | Many imagine the more options, the more happiness. But from the beginning, it was not so. God made us to find freedom in loyalty, blessing in being bound.

Scott Hubbard | If you want to assess the health of your faith, don't simply consider your acts of religious worship. Consider the depth of your love for neighbors.

Scott Hubbard | If we could imagine the coming glory of the Christians we know, we might find the grace we need today to remain patient with their slow growth.

Scott Hubbard | Among the various ways we can describe a husband's calling, one may help to capture our focus, and give us a lifetime of work: bring out your wife's best.

Scott Hubbard | Self-examination can leave us feeling lost in the mirror of me. But done rightly, self-examination can lead to health, freedom, and self-forgetful joy in Christ.

Scott Hubbard | In spiritual war, Christians do not simply hold fast or stand firm — we advance and march with our King, boldly sharing Christ with a lost world.

All good seasons come to an end, but as Christians we know our greatest hope is one day joining the Lord in paradise. Scott Hubbard joins Bill to discuss his article "When This Season Ends" as he talks through enjoying each season of life while we have it and trusting in God.

Scott Hubbard | If God really is as sovereign as the Bible says, how should we live? His sovereignty invites us to pray more boldly, take greater risks, and draw even closer to heaven.

Scott Hubbard | On the first Easter, Jesus surprised our sorrow with joy, our guilt with forgiveness, our confusion with clarity. And so he still surprises today.

Scott Hubbard | Follow Christ long enough, and you'll find yourself in some spiritual valley, in desperate need of renewal. When you do, follow the map God has drawn for us: Remember. Return. Remove. Restore.

Scott Hubbard | Before you are called to pastor Christ's church, practice serving her, loving her, edifying her. Let your favorite word while you wait be “progress.”

Scott Hubbard | When Paul mentioned hell, he warned not only the lost, but believers. Why might that be, and should we be warning one another in the church today?

Scott Hubbard | Many of us try to make the best parts of this life last forever. But God made our best seasons short to prepare us for a better season that will never end.

Scott Hubbard | Men of the world may chase physical beauty no matter where it leads — to bed, to idols, to ruin. But beauty without discretion is a gold ring in a pig's snout.

Scott Hubbard | If the apostle Paul joined our prayer circles, we might be surprised how different his prayers seem. We often focus on circumstances, but he takes aim at the heart.

Scott Hubbard | If you want to plan in a way that honors God, plan like a mortal. Plan like a child. Plan like a worshiper. Plan like a dreamer. Plan like a sub-planner.

Scott Hubbard | Past joys now gone can rob us of present happiness. But the wise of heart will thank God for what was, aching for what is still yet to come.

Gabrielle Rose racked up a lot of accolades before retiring at age 22: 11-12 national age group record holder, 22x NCAA All-American for Stanford, and 2x Olympian for Brazil in 1996 and USA in 2000. Then after hanging up her suit for less than a year, she returned to the pool and ignited her pro career while training under Dave Salo. This netted her 2x LCM world titles and 3x SCM world silver medals along the way to the 2004 Olympic Trials, where she just missed the team after being diagnosed with mono just weeks before. Two decades later, Rose has qualified for another Olympic Trials at age 46 and is once again training with Dave Salo (as well as her primary coach, Scott Hubbard). Rose explains training and recovering as an older athlete, goal setting, and why she is still racing 20 years after her last experience at Olympic Trials.

Scott Hubbard | The history of Christmas is darker and more unruly than you might think, but we still have more reasons than ever to celebrate the coming of our King.

Scott Hubbard | Christians are an unusual people who don't wait until after the fact to thank God. No, we thank him every step of the way.

Scott Hubbard | What might happen in the church if even single men increasingly thought of themselves as spiritual fathers for younger men?

Scott Hubbard | When was the last time you stopped, looked up, and stared at the sky? A song of glory resounds. A heaven of wonders awaits.
