    What happens when peace feels elusive, especially during a season that's supposed to be about hope and joy? Join us as we navigate the Advent season's deeper meaning, exploring how genuine peace can be rooted in faith despite life's inevitable challenges. Through heartfelt prayers and reflections, we find strength in the biblical stories of Zechariah, Mary, and Elizabeth, learning how their experiences with God's promises can guide us toward true peace.

    Discover the enduring faithfulness of God's promises, where ancient stories breathe life into our present-day struggles. We'll examine Zechariah's transformative song of praise, shedding light on the profound hope offered by Christ, the ultimate redeemer. As we peel back layers of doubt and anxiety, we invite listeners to consider how salvation through Jesus Christ offers freedom and unwavering peace, transcending financial worries and broken relationships.

    As ambassadors for peace in a troubled world, we explore the powerful call to share Christ's light with others. Inspired by figures like John the Baptist, we'll discuss how true peace isn't found in political power or material wealth but in embracing our divine purpose and serving without fear. Through prayer and reflection, let's celebrate God's tender mercy and commit to embodying and sharing His promise of peace with a world that desperately needs it.

  • Why You Must Deal with Sinful Anger

    Why You Must Deal with Sinful Anger
    Nov 20 2024

    Send us a text

    Can you imagine a life where sinful anger no longer controls your actions or disrupts your spiritual journey? In our final episode of the "Uprooting Anger" series, we promise to equip you with the tools and insights needed to address this pervasive issue from a biblical perspective. Drawing wisdom from Robert D. Jones's book, we unravel why dealing with anger is imperative for followers of Christ. We dive into the heart of the matter, exploring the comprehensive and often self-centered roots of anger, as well as the profound impact it has on our relationship with God and our testimony to others. By understanding anger as a moral judgment that affects our thoughts, will, and behavior, you will be better prepared to uproot it with God's grace.

    Join us as we dissect the spiritual ramifications of harboring anger, bitterness, and malice, and explore how these emotions can grieve the Holy Spirit and distort our witness. Through scriptural reflections from Ephesians and James, we delve into how surrendering our anger to God allows us to reflect His righteousness and embody His love and peace. This episode encourages a journey of self-reflection, repentance, and a renewed commitment to living in holiness, urging us to confront sinful anger with love and reverence for God. As we wrap up this transformative series, we invite you to embrace the grace of the gospel and re-align your life with the peace and patience that God commands.

  • Understanding God's Grace: Beyond Performance and Striving

    Understanding God's Grace: Beyond Performance and Striving
    Nov 19 2024

    Send us a text

    Ever feel like you're stuck on a never-ending performance treadmill, striving for God's favor only to be met with shame when you fall short? Join me, James Long, as I reveal my own journey through this exhausting cycle and share the liberating truth that God's love isn't hinged on our erratic performance but firmly anchored in Christ's unchanging work. Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Jerry Bridges, we'll unravel the shackles of striving and discover four powerful truths about grace—it's not just a concept but embodied in Jesus, it empowers us to live righteously yet frees us from trying to earn our salvation, and most importantly, it transforms us without making excuses.

    But understanding grace is just the beginning. Let's talk about gratitude as a potent response to such a divine gift. We'll explore how to genuinely honor this gift not with guilt, but with heartfelt appreciation, by spreading messages of grace and hope across platforms like blogs, YouTube, and Facebook. Introducing the I3A approach—issue, aim, adapt, and apply—as a tool for personal growth, we aim to equip you with practical steps for sharing insights and living out transformative grace. Our conversation wraps up with a sincere prayer for blessings, urging us to continually remember and share the Lord's incredible work in our lives. Don't miss the opportunity to have your life—and those around you—changed by God's amazing grace.
