  • Stone Cold Faith, Hope and Love – Rev. Dr. Rick Owen
    Episode 38: Stone Cold Faith, Hope and Love - Rev. Dr. Rick Owen
    A stone cold faith is a faith that can not be broken. No matter how dark the circumstances of life, a stone cold faith is filled with hope and love because Jesus is there for us. Living this kind of faith fills our lives with hope and love, but it also has the power to break open the stone cold hearts of people who don't yet know the love of Christ.
    Sermon Scripture Text: Acts 7:55-60

  • Keep Your Eyes on Jesus – Rev. Stanley Davidson
    Episode 37: Keep Your Eyes on Jesus - Rev. Stanley Davidson
    Life can quickly become overwhelming. When we let ourselves get distracted it is easy to loose our focus on Jesus. Jesus came out to his disciples in a storm, walking on water to the boat they were huddled in fear. Peter asked Jesus to command him to walk on the water as well. Peter stepped out of the boat to meet Jesus. But, when he lost his focus on Jesus, Peter began to sink. Rev. Stanley Davidson inspires us to keep our focus on Jesus.
    Sermon Scripture Text: Matthew 14:22-33

  • Pulled to the Present – Rev. Ross Furio
    Episode 36: Pulled to the Present – Rev. Ross Furio
    The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead challenges us to get our focus out of the past and future and into the present. He pulls us into the present so that we don't miss what he is doing in our midst right now and what he is calling us to do. If we get stuck living in the past or dwelling on the future we can miss what is happening right in front of us in the now.
    Sermon Scripture Text: John 11:38-44

    Episode 33: Faith and Doubt – Rev. Ross Furio
    Doubt is something that is a part of our faith journey. All of us will at some point or another find ourselves in the midst of a season of doubt. The good news is that when faced with the most famous doubter of all time, Jesus responds with grace and tenderness. So much so that we can trust that no matter where we are in the midst of doubt, our next best step is to simply take it to Jesus.
