Stop making excuses

Dysfunction will continue in life, in our country and in our world as long as we we keep making excuses. Real change only takes place when we stop making excuses and do something about it.

Called to Make a Difference - Evangelism

It’s not hard to see that the world is falling apart. Common sense is less common, values have tanked, and people are searching for any answer that will bring them peace.
We have an answer! And yet, we hold back. Afraid of being outcast. Afraid of being made fun of. All for what, our comfort? Scripture never asks us to be comfortable, it asks us to spread the Good News. Today, Pastor Greg dives deep into how that matters in today’s world.

Breaking free of frustration and dysfunctional living

We all have frustrations in life. You can either live with them or overcome them. This episode explores how to handle life’s difficulties in a God pleasing way.

We didn’t start the fire

The flames of societal unrest continue to be fanned. Where will it all lead and what are you willing to do about it?

First Peter - A Policy Manual for Christian Living

Last week we talked about Peter’s instructions for a blessed life on Earth, but this week he gets into the nitty-gritty of it all: you were wretched, and you can’t act that way anymore. Further still, he makes it clear what happens when you change (hint: “no pain, no gain”). Don’t miss it!

What happened to having standards?

We used to have standards in this country and the loss of those standards has destabilized our country to the breaking point. In this episode we examine how we lost our standards and how it is we can get them back.

First Peter - The Blessed Life

As we dig into 1 Peter 3, we acknowledge that the Bible teaches things that make us uncomfortable. We also acknowledge that that's our problem, not God's. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Wives, submit to your husbands..." Oh no.
"Husbands, be considerate..." Ugh, right?
"Repay evil with blessing..." But Lord, they...
"Always be prepared to give an answer..." You mean to everyone?
"Whoever would love life and see good days must..." wait wait, okay, NOW you have my attention!
Peter lays out a list of instructions for a blessed life, but we have to remember to take the WHOLE chapter and the WHOLE book. Let's look at this chapter together, regardless of which part makes us feel good, bad, or ugly.

A Matter of Real Concern

The firings have begun of the unvaccinated. Heath care workers have gone from heroes to villains in just a year’s time. In this episode I explore reasons for a religious exemption to the vaccine and the power grab and freedom grab that is happening all across this country.

First Peter - A Battle For Your Soul

War movies are popular: the director's ability to guide our emotions through the rigors, terrors, and dangers of war helps us both to partly understand and wholly respect what soldiers have experienced for our sake. Yet, we regard them as entertainment; surely WE would never be called to fight, to be disciplined enough to stand our ground, to hold the line against an invading force, right?
In First Peter, it is made clear to us that sinful desires wage war against our souls, and the terminology used there is neither a mistake or an exaggeration. Today, Pastor Greg explores the Biblical standard for living "as foreigners" in this world, being citizens of a faraway land.

This will shock you!

Increasingly things in this world are not what they seem. This is true in the whole global warming debate. It is important that as Christians we are informed in truth so we can make informed decisions based off of truth and not just people we choose to trust.
