Welcome back to the Life on Purpose Podcast! Jordan Brown is joined in studio by Mark Steiner. Mark and his wife Carolyne have a passion for mission work, both abroad and here in our community.

Jordan talks with Mark about this passion for missions. They discuss what missions means, what mission work does, and the purpose behind missions. They dive into the joy of sharing Jesus with a lost world and how the Spirit can move you into places that you may not be comfortable in order to accomplish his purposes.

We know you will be blessed by today’s episode!

Welcome to another episode of Grasp the Sword. Today we continue our series looking deeper at the Holy Spirit. Joining me in studio are Caleb Kersey, Josh Mcaffee, and Seth Rudd. They help teach the Upper Room Class on Sunday mornings here at Skyline. Currently, they are in a deep dive in the study of Acts, which goes along perfectly with our study of the Holy Spirit.

During our session today, we continue discussing how the Holy Spirit was pivotal in the forming of the early church. We also talk about the Spirit’s role in other parts of the Bible and in our lives. 

Here are some of the scriptures referenced in today’s session:

· Acts 4:23-37

· Acts 6:1-7

· Acts 8:9-13

· John 1:1

· Genesis 1:1

· Luke 24:50-53

· Acts 1:1-11

· Is. 53, 56

In this week’s episode Eric and Eric recap week four of our study of the book “Fight” by Craig Groeschel as we prepare for the final video in the series. They hit some highlights from the week and noted some points of note from the book and from the study guide. They also highlight some key points from week 5.

This week, we will be focusing on week 5 of the video series and study guide. Week 5 is the most exciting video of the series because it shows the grace that God offered to Samson and the grace that God offers to each of us as men who constantly make mistakes. We get to see that even though we make mistakes, God can still us to fulfill his purposes. We also deal with the idea that “Failure is an event, it is never a person.”

If you are listening to this at a later time, here is a link to the book and study guide that we are going through.

In this week’s episode Eric and Shea recap week three of our study of the book “Fight” by Craig Groeschel. They hit some highlights from the week and noted some points of note from the book and from the study guide. They also highlight some key points from week 4.

This week, we will be focusing on week 4 of the video series and study guide. We are diving into the final mistakes that Samson makes before his fall to the Philistines.

A key thought continues to be, “Satan loves to make strong men weak. But God is in the business of making weak men strong.” We look forward to what God will shows us this week and how we can be the men of God he has called us to be.

In today’s podcast we are starting a series specifically dedicated to studying the Holy Spirit. We are joined by Randall Roby who shares with us some insight into how the Holy Spirit empowered the early Christians from the very beginnings of the church.

During the session, we discussed several concepts related to the Holy Spirit, but specifically how the Holy Spirit started working in the early church in Acts 2. Join us as we have a passionate conversation about how God worked through the early church and how He is working through us today.

We pray that this will help you in your journey as you seek to understand how the Spirit wants to move in your life and how it will help you learn to live your life on purpose.

Here are some of our scripture references in today’s podcast:

· Acts 2:1-4

· John 14:15-17, 25-26

· John 16:7-13

· Luke 24:45-49

· Acts 1:4-5,8

· 2 Chronicles 7:1-3

· 1 Corinthians 3:16

· Acts 3:1 – 4:22

· Acts 4:23–31

In this week’s episode Eric and Eric recap weeks one and two of our study of the book “Fight” by Craig Groeschel. They hit some highlights from the week and noted some points of note from the book and from the study guide. They also highlight some key points from week 3.

This week, we will be focusing on week 3 of the video series and study guide. We are diving into three sub-stories in the life of Samson and will look at he so quickly succumbed to his anger and pride. We find out that we are not so different from the strong man after all.

A key thought again from this week is, “Satan loves to make strong men weak. But God is in the business of making weak men strong.” We look forward to what God will shows us this week and how we can be the men of God he has called us to be.

In this week’s episode Eric F. and Shea review week one of our study of the book “Fight” by Craig Groeschel. They hit some highlights from the week and noted some points of note from the book and from the study guide.

This week, we will be focusing on week 2 of the video series and study guide. We will be getting to into the story of Samson this week. We will see the three attitudes that eventually lead to his downfall. We will also look at the counter attitudes that help us fight and be the men that God wants us to be.

A key thought from this week is, “Satan loves to make strong men weak. But God is in the business of making weak men strong.” We look forward to what God will shows us this week and how we can be the men of God he has called us to be.
