Cheyenne Hills Podcast

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July, where we got to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in this country here on Earth, but Pastor Karsten's message this past weekend was on the more important kind of freedom, that to which we have been called in Christ Jesus.

Our challenge this week: try to cultivate the three habits from this week's message into your lives, so we don't get this awesome gift of freedom, but stay sitting in our cage and not moving forward in our walk with God.

Relevant Scripture:

Galatians 5: 13

John 3: 3-20

A bonus bit of scripture 1 Kings 19: 11-12

"And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper."

Pastor Karsten Sween leads us in a special Fourth of July weekend message. As we celebrate our nation's founding, we remember the worldly freedoms we enjoy today were bought by love, blood and sacrifice. So much the more do we enjoy a freedom that is greater by far thanks to the love, blood and sacrifice of our savior Jesus Christ! But what do we do with that freedom? How are we good stewards of this amazing gift given to us by God?

Note: Companion podcast for this episode will air Wednesday afternoon due to the holiday. Happy 4th of July!

Pastor Galen finishes out this series on eschatology (end times) by reminding us again why we should care: because we don't know what time we have left. Not to be alarmed, not to be afraid, but in order that we might diligently be fruitful. All through the gospels Jesus made it very clear he was looking for fruitfulness, and not knowing when the master will return, we are called to be better than the bridesmaids in the parable and not be found napping with lanterns empty of oil when he returns.

Note: Companion Podcast experienced technical difficulties with the recording, and therefor won't air this week. But we'll see you next week for Pastor Karsten's 4th of July message!

Nathan and Pastor Galen continue the second of three pieces on the Biblical roots of foundational American values, and the onus of each generation to forge their link in the chain of history so that these values are not lost forever.

This week we dive deep into a subject Galen brought up in his sermon in the third part of The Great Reset series, and that is the danger of nominal Christians who weaponize scripture. It forces us to ask ourselves, am I living my life as a true Christian led by the Holy Spirit in a journey to be more like Christ, or do I just use scripture to get my way and religion to feel good about myself? It's a scary question! Men who use Ephesians 5:22 to abuse and dominate women, leaders who us Fundamentalism or Legalism to hold authority over others instead of living a life of service, these are just a few examples of what can come from God's Word weilded by the wrong hands.

Relevant Scripture:

Ephesians 5: 22

Matthew 202: 20-28

Galatians 5: 13

This week's message brings a unique Father's Day application of our Great Reset series: when looking out for all these things prophecy says to expect, where do we draw the line and how seriously do we take our roles as Christians? The example used was Fathers living — instead of a toxic masculitinity — a Biblical picture of masculinity. Pastor Galen also looks at ways current technologies and political movements might show us a picture of what end-times events may present themselves.

Nathan returns from giving a speech about standing up for truth, and holding on to Christian values in order to pass on our religious freedoms to future generations. He and Galen unpack this further, finding the roots of what are called "conservitive" values in the Bible.

The Great Reset series continues to bring up issues with large implications — end-of-the-world level issues, in fact. However, while we encourage you all to dive into the study of the prophecies in scripture to get a better idea of what to be aware of, on our Companion Podcast during this series, Pastor Karsten and Kasey discuss the practical applications we can enact today and tomorrow. One of these things is the understanding of how to protect yourselves from the lies of the world, and to arm yourselves to fight back as Christ would have us do so.

Scripture to check out: Ephesians 6:11

Pastor Galen continues unpacking elements of eschatology (study of end times) that are showing glimpses of themselves in the present world. The beast that fools the world, promising peace under one world government, is the subject of this week's sermon.

Check out our Companion Podcast airing on Tuesday mornings to take a deeper look at this message.

Nathan Winters and Pastor Galen are back in studio, speaking from the Christian viewpoint on the Bud Light debacle, local school library decisions, and ways people are finally pushing back as issues cross their personal line of "too far."
