Ginghamsburg Church Podcast

Faith is not easy. Building, tearing down, rebuilding, digging for answers and mining for truth – it's a dirty job. Faith doesn't live on the shelf. So grab your hard hat and let's get to work. A faith that WORKS is a faith that puts in the WORK. ginghamsburg.org

Ginghamsburg Church was founded in 1863 by a circuit rider named BW Day, who had a vision that little ole Ginghamsburg would one day be a place that touched thousands of lives. As we gather to celebrate 160 years of ministry, our focus remains the same as it always has been - to love Jesus, and do something about it.

God continues to move and the Holy Spirit continues to work. Join us as we honor the past and look forward to what Christ is going to do next through the ministry of Ginghamsburg Church.

When we're honest, we acknowledge the future isn't for us. We have an opportunity to lay a foundation for those who will follow in our footsteps. What better way to do this, than with a foundation of prayer and seeking the Lord.

When we seek God, we will find God. So let's seek God and let us pray.

We would love to pray with you! Send your prayer requests to ginghamsburg.org/prayer.

Prayer isn't always easy. Nor is prayer always safe. Sometimes when we truly surrender our lives, hopes, dreams and wills to God, there is great risk. There's a sense of adventure, but also a sense of danger. But what's remarkable, is when we pray these dangerous prayers, God is revealed in incredible new ways, and our faith grows. We become the people God is calling us to be, all because of small, yet dangerous, prayers spoken in faith.

In the Bible we are instructed to never stop praying. That's the definition of persistence - never giving up. In Luke 18 Jesus tells a story about a widow whose only hope is an unfair judge. This story has a lot to teach us about prayer, but as we dive deeper, we uncover a truth that has an even greater impact than what we can imagine.

Today we lean into the story of Elijah. Elijah was a prophet during the days of Israel's most evil king. Elijah stands boldly and declares that the Lord is God alone, in the face of intense opposition. His story inspires us to live with boldness and faith, no matter our circumstances.

This week we'll hear the story of Gideon, a man who didn't see himself the way God saw him. In spite of Gideon's personal view, God did some incredible things through him. And through this experience, Gideon grew in his belief, faith and trust. Even when the odds are not in our favor, we are reminded that God is with us. ginghamsburg.org

Today we'll hear the story of Joshua - a man called by God to lead the people of Israel into the promised land. He was the successor to Moses - so talk about BIG shoes to fill! Yet, Joshua's leadership renewed the people's faith in God, and they were able to witness amazing things. Much like Joshua, when place our faith and trust in God, we gain a front row seat to the amazing things God will do.

This week we lean in to the story of Deborah - a military leader in the days of the Judges of Israel. Through Deborah's leadership God brought about some amazing victories for the people of Israel. Deborah's story also reminds us that with God, all things are possible. ginghamsburg.org

This week we hear the story of Job, who's story reads like he lived out a real life country song. Job lost almost everything, but never gave up his hope. Even though Job suffered, what he gained at the end was truly seeing who God is. That's the power of hope - we see God no matter what we face. ginghamsburg.org
