Love Church | Audio Podcast

In Scandalous Love Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches from Hosea 3. As we read about Hosea's life, we get a picture of God's unconditional love for us, in the way that he instructs Hosea to love Gomer unconditionally despite the many times she turned her back on Hosea. Similarly so, we oftentimes run to other things instead of turning to Jesus to fulfill us. But God desires to have a relationship with us despite our brokenness, and the beautiful part about it is the fact that we don't have to earn his love, we just need to receive it. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

In Like A Bird In A Cage Pastor Ben Norvig teaches from 2 Kings 18-19. As we read the story of Hezekiah, we can see that he was trapped and had no way to fix his circumstances. Yet despite how hopeless things seemed, Hezekiah had faith that God would help them, so he cried out to the Lord, asking for his help. Once he invited God into the situation, everything changed and God rescued the Israelites. What we learn from Hezekiah's example, is that the most important thing that we have is our faith: in what God has done; what God is doing; and what God will do. We pray you are encouraged by this message.

Have you ever had a tough time relating to someone? Or perhaps you have been really annoyed with someone and have been judging them. In In Our Shoes Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that we don't have the proper perspective to judge anyone. As he teaches from Hebrews 2:14-18, we learn that Jesus got in our shoes by taking on human flesh so that we could be free. As we put our trust in Jesus, he can free us from our fears, help us to build a bridge when needed, and help us when we're hurting. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you ever been abandoned? Or perhaps you were the one who left someone when they needed you. Sometimes when we depart from Jesus, we feel guilty and shame-filled, and our thought is that Jesus will never forgive us. In It's Not Over Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Mark 14 and John 21, and reminds us that even when we Desert and Deny Jesus, his love is unwavering and he will Dine with us when we return to him, because he wants to restore us. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you been a little stressed out lately? In Overwhelmed, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Psalm 55 and gives us the tools to help us go from Fear to Fury to Faith when processing our pain. When we are feeling overwhelmed, it is important for us to "go vertical" and take our genuine emotions to God. He can handle our feelings of anger and frustration, and desires that we give our burdens to him so that we can experience the freedom that only he can give us. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Who have you been surrounding yourself with in this season?  We oftentimes become a product of the atmosphere that we permit. In Surrounded By Faith, Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches from Mark 2 and shares the three types of friends we need to be surrounded by.  It's important that we are surrounded by: friends who will carry us to Jesus; friends that help us to break through barriers; and friends who are faith-filled.  We pray you are encouraged by this message!

When was the last time you were truly happy or genuinely content?  When our contentment is connected to material things or relationships with people, things change and we often find ourselves frustrated.  In Are You Content? Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from 1 Timothy 6, and through Paul's letter to Timothy, we learn that there is no contentment under the sun because true contentment is only found in the Son.  We pray you are encouraged by this message!

How is your emotional and spiritual health due to the last 18 months? There have been many responses to the way things have changed, and perhaps you have found yourself asking "Who Am I?", "Why Am I Here?", or "Where Am I Going?" In "Post Pandemic Poll" Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from 1 Thessalonians 3 and reminds us that our identity and security should come from Jesus Christ; we were uniquely created for a specific reason and purpose, and it's important for us to take inventory of our eternal destiny. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

In "The Warrior With A Weakness", Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that some of our greatest strengths can come with a weakness. As he teaches from 2 Kings 5, we learn about Naman, a great warrior who had two weaknesses: leprosy and his pride. However, the keys to his healing were his Homegirl praying for him, his Homies encouraging him to follow the prophet's direction, and his Humility to be obedient. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

We all were created in the image of a Creator! In "Creating a New Kingdom", Pastor Kap Chatfield gives us three principles from 2 Chronicles 9, to help us use our gifts and talents to bring God glory. We must be filled with the Spirit of Wisdom so that we can respond to the world's questions with confidence. We also must be intentional about building a masterpiece, being faithful even in the most mundane tasks. We pray you are encouraged by this message!
