First Orlando - Horizon West Podcast

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor David Loveless starts with this question: "When is the last time your day went exactly as you planned?" As he leads us through Psalm 118, we see where God instructs us to live in the present with the grace God provides for this day. In stories of Jesus' ministry we see how Jesus engaged with people in the present, not allowing concerns for the future or frustrations in the past distract from the right actions to take in the moment. Pastor David led the congregation in this prayer about living in one day's grace:

"Lord, I welcome You and this day. I welcome its joys and its struggles. I trust You are using it all to fill me, to form me, and to flow through me. I let go of my need to control this day and open my heart to Your presence that's in it. Teach me to live with You, inside one day's grace, and not miss any of the gifts. Amen."

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today, Pastor Chris is guiding us into the difficult topic of evil and suffering in our world. He verbalizes the question we all have asked at some time, "If God is loving, powerful, and aware, why does evil exist?" To explore this question, Pastor Chris teaches from the first chapters in Genesis and the temptation for Adam and Eve -- and us -- to become like God rather than to be who God created us to be.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Today, we're starting a new series called "God's Story, Your Story" to look at God's big dream for humanity and our parts in it. Pastor Chris is starting in Genesis 1 and exploring what it means to us that we are each made by God, and made in our uniqueness to find our true purpose in God.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Sócrates continues our series "Witness" in today's service with a focus on the phrase "in Judea and Samaria" in Acts 1:8. He shares with us the historical and social context that Jesus' disciples would have understood when they received this instruction. As we learn how harshly those in Judea felt about those in Samaria, we see that same temptation in our age to ignore and reject "those" people. Pastor Sócrates rephrases Jesus' instructions for us: to go share the good news with those people, and to trust the promise of Jesus that we'll be blown away by what He will do.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris continues the series based on Acts 1:8 with a careful look at how we are to share our faith "in Jerusalem." For Jesus' disciples, the city of Jerusalem meant the center of the Jewish faith, home to the Temple and the Ark of the Covenant. This is not the case for the Christian faith. As Pastor Chris states, "the center of God's plan is not a place called Jerusalem but a person named Jesus." This Jesus instructed His disciples to start their witnessing where they already were, interacting with the people they already knew. Like the saintly instruction states, "bloom where you're planted."

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris is starting a new series based on Jesus' instruction to us in Acts 1:8 to be His witnesses. In today's message, we face up to the reality that what Jesus calls us to do is humanly impossible. We need the power of the Holy Spirit, living in us and working through us. As we share our stories of how God has changed us, the Spirit works to transform the hearts and minds who hear us.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris leads us to review the work of the apostle Andrew from the brief accounts of him in the Gospels. What we see Andrew doing, and what we also can do, is point people to Jesus, notice who is around us, and start with those closest to us. In wherever we go, and with whoever we meet, we can share God's love in us with others, pointing them to Jesus.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Pastor Chris concludes our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 51. This psalm marked the time in King David's life that he was confronted with his sin and repented, and his prayer to God in this psalm guides us when we find that we need to repent. David's prayer expressed his confidence in God's mercy for us, his honesty about his own sin, his receptivity to change as God led, his vision for how God could use him, and an understanding of God's heart.

Thank you for joining us for today's worship service! Our guest speaker today is Holly Rockefeller, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a member of Horizon West Church. Holly shares with us God's love letter to us given in Psalm 139. We read in these passages that God knows us better than anyone else, and God loves us more than anyone else. We see that God has a purpose for each of us, and God is always with us. God is eager to silence the lies that seek to tear us down so that we can experience the truth of God's love for and acceptance of us to the fullest.
