Episode 19 | Favorite Seasons, Church Lowers Stress, Discerning God's Calling, Legalism, and License
(5:07) Question of the Day:
What is your favorite season?
(8:05) Hot Topic:
Science: Regularly Attending Church Can Lower Stress. If science shows that going to church regularly lowers stress, why do some Christians still feel overwhelmed or burnt out when they think about church?
Discussion & Member Questions:
(12:18) We’ve received several questions about what is going on in the world. What message do you have to encourage our church body with so much uncertainty?
(18:32) Sunday Sermon Recap
- (21:38) While preparing this sermon, were there any parts you wished you would have had more time to draw out?
- (22:40) I’ve been reflecting on the idea of calling and purpose in your Christian walk. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can discern God’s specific calling for our lives and how we can align our daily actions with His divine purpose
- (36:23) Without getting into legalism conversations, can we talk publicly about what is expected of someone who calls The Chapel home? Membership and even Regular Attender status should come with some expectations beyond personal gr1qowth goals, just as we all have expectations within our homes and families. Attendance (and being on time!) for Sunday services are just the beginning. If we're all part of the family of Christ, what other expectations should we expect?
- (43:27) What do we do when there is genuine disagreement about what God has commanded we do? For example, Christian A believes we must uphold the Christian Sabbath, Christian B thinks the Sabbath has been abrogated. In this situation, one views the other as legalistic and the other as licentious; however, the root of the disagreement originates in their understanding of what God has commanded. How do we resolve a situation like this?
- (50:43) You talked about legalism and license which. Kevin, you mentioned the greatest commandments and that we should love God and keep his commandments but then you talked about no longer being under the law. How do we walk in that balance?
(56:08) Conclusion/Celebration:
