Welcome and hello, you’ve joined us here at the Faith first Podcast where we help to guide you in steps to take to live out your faith first in this world. In today’s episode, I am sitting down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr as we help you choose your wardrobe for today! No, not really we are digging deep into what the world ought to see in you as a follower of Christ.

In this episode you'll discover:

• What kind of new things are we supposed to put on as a Christian
• How do we put them on
• What is justification
• How to daily put on Christ
• Why put on Christ when the world is against us

We as followers of Christ, as Christians profess that we have put on Christ, but do we daily put on love? When we wear the robes of Christ’s righteousness we can be at peace, keeping quiet, calm and self-controlled while all the world may seem to be crumbling away.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast. In this episode, we’ll be listening in on a message given by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr where he wants to know what you’re wearing! Not the clothes, but he’s talking about the eternal, spiritual clothing that each of us ought to put on. Let’s listen in now.

In this episode you'll discover:

• How do we consider putting on the new life in Christ
• What is the difference between old self and new self
• What a Christian's fashion truly is
• Why we can't just wear part of Christ

Only the finished work of Christ on the cross is sufficient for your justification and your Christian fashion statement. When you came to Christ, you put on Christ in the sense that you put on His righteousness, you put on His holiness, you put on His nature.

Hello and welcome! You're listening to the Faith First Podcast. If you've never had any training ot teaching on basic Christian doctrine, you'll not want to miss this episode. In this episode, I sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr and talk about one person in the Trinity that often gets overlooked. Yep, I'm talking about the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why we gloss over the Holy Spirit in Christianity
• When do believers receive the Holy Spirit
• What are some of the works of the Holy Spirit
• How the Holy Spirit works in us

There is no doubt that in the church, a life filled with the Holy Spirit should be the norm. Without a life full of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to build the body of Christ and we end up limiting God's work in our lives.

If you're new to the Faith First Podcast, we want you to know we care about you and your walk with Jesus. Please be sure to hit the noficiation button below and be alerted to when the next episode launches. Well, until then, get to know the Holy Spirit faith first.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast. This is a first. Our Lead Pastor Steve Darr was unable to deliver the message he wrote for this message on the Holy Spirit. So, I presented his sermon with the best of my abilities the information he wanted us to know. It is a bit of a theology class, but we all need to know who the Holy Spirit is in our lives.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the Holy Spirit
• How the Holy Spirit works in a beliver's life
• How the Holy Spirit becomes our source of life
• Who the Holy Spirit is in the Trinity

It was shortly after the coming of the Holy Spirit that Peter stood before crowds and gave his impassioned speech and 3000 people gave their lives to Christ. This was not Peter's doing but the Holy Spirit at work in and through him. Do you know that the Holy Spirit dwells in you in the same manner wanting to direct and guide you to do more than you could ask think or imagine? As a Christian, a Christ-follower, you can know who the Holy Spirit is that lives inside you.

You are listening to the Faith First Podcast. Let me ask you, what is the image of God that you carry with you? How do you see Him? In today's episode, I sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr as we dive into the topic of “That You May Have Life.” Our perceptions or rather misperceptions about God and His commandments mat get us to view Him through an incorrect lense.

in this episode you'll discover:

• Why our view of God is so important when it comes to life/death issues
• How we misperceive God's commandments
• Why God repeatedly asks us to choose life
• What type of life Jesus offers to us

When our lives are so changed by what God has done, and is doing, we want to share everything about what it has meant and has brought us new life. Jesus died so that you may have life, life eternal.

We hope you enjoy listening to the Faith First Podcast. We'd love to connect with you so head on over to our website www.firstcong.com and there you can listen to past sermons, check out what we are up to and send an email to either myself or Pastor Steve. There is a choice presented through God's word. You can either choose life or death, God says to choose life and live faith first.

Hello and welcome! You're listening to the Faith first Podcast. In this episode, we will be listening to a message on the choice between life and death given by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr. I know you all out there will say, "I choose life!" but did you know that life is not lived based on our humanness? It is based on what God has said and done through Jesus Christ. Let's listen in…

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why society celebrates death over life
• If this is all there is, why should we care about life
• Where life begins
• How our misperceptions about God get in the way of choosing life
• Why we shouldn't choose to do out own thing but the God thing

People are dying without God. They are choosing death over life by not making any choice at all. They will end up spending eternity without God and we the church are doing little to prevent it. Yet, we can change that by offering to someone the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, and the life eternal He can provide.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast. In this episode, I sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr and dive deep into the topic of What is Your Focus?

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why even as Christians it is easy to get off focus
• How routines can form ruts and get us into a status quo mindset
• Why our focus on Jesus matters
• What we can say to ourselves to help us keep focused on God

The problem with many of us who are Christians is that we are not focused on Him, but on ourselves. And because of that, we get tired. Christianity becomes a drag, filled with our own futile attempts to be good. Our love for Christ begins to fade as our focus turns inward. Don’t let that happen. Keep that love relationship you have for Jesus strong. Focus on Him, focus on the glory of God.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast. I don't know about you but I lose focus a lot. My mind gets distracted on other things than what I am called to focus on and then I find myself in a rut. Jesus reminds us to focus on Him and in today's episode, we will listen to our Lead Pastor Steven Darr as he brings the message, What is Your Focus?

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why it is important to focus on God every day of our lives
• How come we have "me" ceneterd mornings
• What we can do to get refocused
• Why even Christians are self-focused

The problem with many of us who are Christian is that we are not focused on God, or Jesus, but ourselves. And because of that, we get tired. Christianity becomes a drag filled with our own futile attempts to be good. Our love for Christ begins to fade and turn inward. Let's not make that happen. Keep that love relationship you have for Jesus strong. Focus on Him, focus on the glory of God.

Welcome and hello, you’ve joined us here at the Faith first Podcast where we help to guide you in steps to take to live out your faith first in this world. In today’s episode, I am sitting down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr as we dive into the topic of God seeing you and specifically seeing the women of the church. Motherhood goes beyond raising your own children it overflows into nurturing all people. Welcome, Pastor Steve, and as we begin maybe you can shed some light on exactly how God sees us when we are weary when we don’t think He does.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why do we crave attention from our mothers
• Why it is important for all of us to know that God knows your name
• How do we know God is watching over each one of us
• The encouragement church leaders ought to give women today

Throughout Scripture, we are told that God sees all that is happening. We can find comfort and hope in the name of El Roi. God sees everything and sees it clearly— not like you and me. We take care in making sure those around us are seen, but not in the same way God sees them or that God sees you. God watches out for you to keep you safe we only have to trust in Him.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast. For this episode, we’ve gone into the archives of our messages and pulled out one that was delivered on Mother’s Day. Yes, Mother’s Day. It truly is a message for every Christian who struggles to know whether or not God cares or sees them. It’s not only for women but also for men who seem lost and disillusioned by today’s standards for humanity. Let’s gear up and listen in as our Lead Pastor Steve Darr takes the podium…

In this episode you'll discover:

• How to be seen by God
• Why you are special to God
• How do rest assure that God sees you right now
• Why God's promises can be trusted that He sees all things

There are many women, and I might add men who wonder if you are ever seen. Some days you might like to shout out as Pastor Steve mentioned, “Look at Me!, Look at what I can do!!” There comes a point in our lives when we might begin to wonder if we are invisible. Well, let me give a simple answer— no, God sees you right here and right now.
