Flatirons Community Church Podcast

 Learn to use your words wisely. We're called to bring healing and blessings to others and avoid using our words to divide or promote ourselves. Confidently use our words to empower and encourage others. 

Oftentimes the things we want the most, we end up spending the least amount of time on because we're distracted. As we dig into Proverbs today, be thinking about what's distracting you.

The greatest threat to Christianity today is Hypocrisy. All of us are broken people, trying and working to line our lives up with what God says is right and true, and best. And while the purpose of the hospital is to help heal the sick, if the people in the hospital aren’t trying to heal and get better, that’s not a hospital. That’s hospice. If we are not actively letting God heal us and working on it—then it’s going to hurt us, it’s going to hurt the next generation, it’s going to hurt the church, and ultimately that hurts the world.

What does it really mean to love Jesus? 

In today's message, you will gain insight into the biblical story of Peter and his denial of Jesus and learn how he found forgiveness and restoration through his faith. Learn how to take practical steps to overcome doubt, fear, and negative self-talk and be empowered to live a life of purpose, joy, and significance.

At some point, we all experience confusion or uncertainty in life, whether it's because of our own decisions or uncontrollable events. In today's talk, Jim will encourage us to introspect and evaluate if we are living the life we genuinely desire or if we are disoriented and require guidance. This talk is essential viewing for individuals who want direction and motivation in their pursuit of discovering their authentic path.

Have you ever felt like an outcast, judged, or unwanted? One thing Jesus was criticized for was befriending people that culture wanted nothing to do with. Today we will explore why Jesus constantly chose to befriend "sinners" and how this applies to our lives. If you've ever felt lost, broken, or need grace, we have good news for you today.

In 2023 it seems like the world is more divided than ever. But Jesus is clear that we are commanded to love and serve others, regardless of differing perspectives, opinions, and voting histories. Today Ben Foote will lead us through scripture that warns against giving lip service to Jesus without following through with acts of love and service, and reminds us that loving others is an indicator that their faith is truly alive and real.

What would your life look like if you had someone leading you who wanted you to actually experience a fulfilling life? In our new series called What The Flock, Jim explains that we all need a leader who can guide us through difficult times and restore our souls and that Jesus can be that leader. Jesus compares himself to a good shepherd who knows his sheep by name and lays down his life for them. 

Not all things that claim to be true are really true. This week, Jim will teach us how abiding by what Jesus says is true will set us free from things in the past that were not true and lead us to a life we were created to live.

Forgiving others doesn't mean we have to minimize what's been done to us or the hurt we've experienced. But unforgiveness is keeping us imprisoned.
