In this episode Joel will look at...

'Why do the wicked prosper?'

'Who did Cain Marry?'

'Are there limits to Heaven?'

'How do we share our faith with those that are hostile?'

We all face difficulties and disappointments. It does not matter if you follow Jesus or not, no one is immune. But how do we prevent and halt bitterness from taking over? Join us as we look at a lesser known person from the Christmas story and how she used her difficulty to produce hope rather than plunge her into bitterness.

Do you ever fall into the vicious trap that starts with disappointment that quickly leads to discouragement and if we are not vigilant can land you in despair? How does it happen? How do we prevent it? I believe much of it has to do with the lies discouragement whispers in the moments of disappointment. How do we go from being disappointed to thinking we are a disappointment? How do we prevent this from happening? That is what this week’s message is all about.

Discouragement is insidious. It can show up in a moment and linger far too long. No matter how old or young, successful or not, we all battle discouragement. Join us as we talk honestly about how we overcome and defeat discouragement so that it does not own you any longer. Enjoy it!

A great way to learn is through asking questions. This also applies to when it comes to faith. Join us this week for 'q and A' with Joel. In- person Joel will be taking your questions live and for online, Joel will be answering some of the questions that have been most frequently asked. This is a week you do not want to miss. Enjoy it!

We all want to make a difference. But what does that look like? What is the next step? Join us this week as we learn that amazing truth that God has given us different abilities and passions for a reason. And that when we discover we are better together, some amazing things can happen. Enjoy it!

If you were to ‘rate’ your level of generosity, what number would you give? Do you wish you were more generous? Have you ever considered what ‘fuels’ your generosity? You give when you see a need? You like how it makes you feel? Guilt? Join us as we unpack a key perspective if we want a sustained generosity. Enjoy it!

Do you wonder what Communion is all about? Why the bread and the wine? Why the different names - Communion, Lord’s Supper, Eucharist? Yes, lots of questions and potentially even confusion which is a short step away from ‘just going through the motions’ and totally missing the significance. Join us this week as we look at what Communion is and why Communion is essential and what it can mean for you. Enjoy it!

I am sure we have all felt the impact of Covid when it comes to relationships. Being isolated makes life more difficult. Have you ever considered that there is a significant reason for that? Perhaps, God has wired us in a way that requires community. Join us this week as we look at why relationships matter and some next steps to take to get back on track ‘with people’. Enjoy it!

Is serving in the church really nothing more than simply ‘doing chores for God’? Or is there something more going on? Join us as we look at ‘’ why we serve’ and ‘ how serving can have an impact on us’. Enjoy it!
