OCC Deeper Well

In this episode, we discuss why grace is essential to the Christian faith. The only perfect person to ever walk the earth is Jesus. He is the most outstanding example and who we all strive to be, but we know we will never live up to that perfection. This is why Jesus is the only way. He is the only way because he made a way for us to know the Father and be in eternity with Him forever, despite our sin. We hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget to share us with a friend!

In this week's episode, we reflect on our new home and the mission God has us on! Just as Abraham was blessed to be a blessing, so too are we as followers of Jesus. So take a listen as we talk about what that means as we seek to worship, serve and do life together. We hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget to share this podcast with a friend!

In our current series, "Asking For A Friend," Pete addressed the question, How Can I Know There Is A God? In this episode, we dig deeper into this question and discuss sharing our faith with those we love outside the faith and how to do so with love and compassion. We hope you enjoy.

This past Sunday, we started our new series, "Asking For A Friend," in which we tackle some of the more difficult questions of the faith. In this episode, we begin by digging deeper into the validity of the Bible, helping to give us a framework for studying and understanding the Word so we can confidently defend it.

In this week's episode, we talk more about waiting for the promises of God through the story of Abraham and Sarah. While every kind of season involves waiting, how do we entrust our lives to God and wait well? How does the presence of God change how we wait? We address these questions and much more.

We are excited to be back in the studio as we gear up for our long-awaited move to our new church home. Preparing for the changes, we begin a new series called New Home Same Mission. In this episode, we dig deeper into the call of the Lord on Abraham's life and how that applies to us today. And how fear can paralyze us and doubt can cloud our decision-making ability. We hope you enjoy today's episode!

As we wrap up our series called Limited, we close with a conversation around the Limited God. The idea can bring much confusion if not properly handled. So today, we unpack Dan's message from this past week and dig deeper into the meaning of God's limitations. More on how they are good for us, our relationship with God, and creation. We hope you enjoy!
