Loving Truth

These are dark days in America. The video of George Floyd's death has sparked nation-wide protest. Nearly everyone has something to say. How should Christians respond to what is happening in our country right now? That's the question pastor Mike addresses in today's episode of Ordinary Church.

It's looking like it will not be long until we are able to re-engage as a church for in-person gatherings. That said, there are lots of different opinions floating around about the best way to handle the what, the when, the who, the how, etc. Today's question: How can believers prioritize church unity over personal opinions?

Something of a double-header this week. Pastor Mike briefly addresses the fact that some churches are choosing to reopen in defiance of the government (what do we make of that?), and then turns to offer comfort and council to those struggling with disappointments of all kinds in the middle of Covid-19.

Over two months into quarantine, some believers are starting to say, "Though I respect those who disagree, I personally am over the whole social distancing thing... I'm just going to do my own thing now." Do believers have the freedom to make a decision like that? Is it purely a of conscience? Join us on this episode to hear how the Bible addresses that mentality.

How should Christians respond to governing authorities when they think that the restrictions are unfair or even misguided? What does submission look like in situations like these? Pastor Mike gives a concise answer to those questions in today's episode of Ordinary Church.

The pastoral staff at GCO talk about Christians and Coronavirus in preparation for the upcoming Grace Bible Institute on the same topic. How should Christians respect the government? Love one another? Honor Christ? All this and more on today's episode of Ordinary Church.

Pastor Mike talks about how Christians can navigate wisely through the coronavirus crisis. How should we think about social distancing? Living with caution and care? Acting out of trust rather than fear? All this and more in this episode of Ordinary Church.

Mandatory social distancing and self-isolation has left many feeling sad, lonely, and confused. How can Christians live with joy in the midst of dark days? That's the question of the hour for today's episode.

COVID-19 has thrown the entire globe into unprecedented confusion. These are difficult days. Where can believers turn for answers in these trying times? Who has the final word on what is true? Join Connor and Mike as they sit down (in Mike’s backyard!) to talk through these questions.

What does responding to the Holy Spirit actually mean? How do we know if we are ignoring him or whether we are actually being led by him? All this with Connor and Mike on this week's Ordinary Church
