    Feels: Part Two
    Aug 11 2024
    This message invites us to explore the profound truth that God knows us better than we know ourselves. It challenges us to confront why we often hide parts of our lives from Him, despite His omniscience. The story of Elijah fleeing from Jezebel (1 Kings 19) serves as a powerful illustration of how even great prophets can succumb to fear and isolation. God's gentle question to Elijah, 'What are you doing here?' isn't meant to accuse, but to prompt self-reflection. We're encouraged to listen for God's 'still small voice' in the quiet moments of our lives, rather than expecting dramatic interventions. This teaches us that intimacy with God often grows in stillness and vulnerability, not in the whirlwind of activity or emotion.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

    In this powerful message, we explore the story of Elijah from 1 Kings 19, focusing on how we can thrive through life's triggers. We're reminded that life is full of ups and downs, and the Bible serves as a roadmap for navigating these challenges. Elijah's journey teaches us that even spiritual giants face moments of fear and doubt. The message emphasizes that our triggers often stem from unhealed pain or trauma, generating fear-based reactions. We're encouraged to find balance between grace and truth, avoiding the extremes of coddling or becoming overly militant. By addressing our deep-seated issues and staying awake to God's presence, we can overcome our triggers and live out our calling more fully.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

  • Stop Pretending

    Stop Pretending
    Jul 28 2024
    In this powerful message, we're reminded that God meets us exactly where we are, not where we pretend to be. The speaker draws our attention to Psalm 42, where the psalmist pours out his heart to God in times of distress. We're encouraged to be honest with God about our pain, hurt, and suffering, realizing that being a Christian doesn't make us immune to these experiences. The key lesson is that God wants to heal our pain, but we must first open up to Him. By delaying this process, we only hinder what God wants to do in our lives. This message challenges us to confront our emotional wounds and bring them before God, trusting in His desire and ability to provide comfort and healing.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

    Redeeming Rest: Week Five
    Jul 21 2024
    In this spiritually enriching discussion, we are reminded of the profound reality that each of us, like Moses, is called by God to fulfill a unique purpose, underscored by our faith and our consecration to His will. Referencing the Biblical narrative from Leviticus, where Moses is instructed on sacrificial offerings, the dialogue highlights the importance of being set apart for God's plans. The key takeaway is our transformation through faith and obedience. The notion that Moses' journey, marked by encounters with God outside the bustle of life, can be mirrored in our lives today, suggests a pathway towards spiritual renewal and deeper communion with God. Through vivid anecdotes and interpretations of scripture, we come to understand the spiritual significance of calling, sacrifice, and divine guidance, prompting us to live lives consecrated to God's purpose, fired by faith and the Holy Spirit.

    Redeeming Rest: Week Four
    Jul 7 2024
    In this powerful message, we're reminded of the importance of rest in our spiritual journey. Jesus modeled rest for us, showing that it's not just a luxury, but a crucial part of living in rhythm with God. We're challenged to evaluate our lives and identify areas that have become unmanageable. The speaker emphasizes that God desires us to live in perfect peace, not constant busyness. By learning to hear God's voice, seek His direction, and rest in His presence, we can experience true spiritual rest. The story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41) illustrates how our faith in God's ability can bring peace amidst life's chaos. We're encouraged to start small in cultivating rest and to remember that nothing is too chaotic for Jesus to speak peace into.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

    Redeeming Rest: Week Two
    Jun 23 2024
    In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound importance of rest in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and 4, we explore the concept of God's rest - not just physical relaxation, but a deep, spiritual peace that comes from trusting in Christ's finished work. We're cautioned against the dangers of unbelief and rebellion, which can harden our hearts and lead us away from God. The story of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land serves as a poignant reminder of how easily we can miss out on God's blessings when we fail to trust Him. The message challenges us to enter into God's rest by fully believing in His promises and ceasing from our own futile efforts to earn His favor.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

    Redeeming Rest: Week One
    Jun 16 2024
    In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound connection between rest and spiritual overflow. The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 serves as a cornerstone, illustrating the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet and truly listening. We're encouraged to move beyond mere intellectual understanding to experiential knowledge of God's love. This rest isn't about inactivity, but about rejuvenation, renewal, and transformation of our minds. It's in this place of rest that we can hear God's heart for us, understand our true identity as His children, and receive His love. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we like Martha, distracted by many things, or are we choosing the 'better part' like Mary?EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.
