OCC Deeper Well

Many of us wish for more hours in the day. We complain that we can't finish everything in the hours we've been given. But the reality is no matter how many hours we have; we will fill them and still wish we had more time. In this week's sermon, Pastor Pete tackled the subject of rest, focusing on the Sabbath. Today we dig deeper into the beauty of our need for rest and how this is a part of God's good design for his people as limited creatures.

We continue this week diving deeper into our limited series. This week we are discussing how God designed work and its purpose in the life of a Christian. We hope you enjoy!

It is a part of God's good design that we are limited creatures. But, we live in a period in time that desires to be limitless, and as a result, we have become restless people grappling for power, progress, and prestige. In other words, we have come full circle to the garden by trying to be God. Our series begins with Pastor Pete reminding us of God's graciousness in creating us with limits, and in this podcast, we dig deeper into just that. We hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to share us with a friend.

This week, we are combining our last two parables of the Prodigal Son and the Suffering Servant, digging into the act of forgiveness and addressing the complexity of forgiving and being forgiven with faithful Christ-like attitudes. We hope you enjoy and don’t forget to share with a friend!

In this week's episode, we dig a little deeper into the parable of the rich fool. Greed is a tricky subject, and talk of it can sometimes feel like we are getting our mail read. But it is essential to tackle as it tends to become a blind spot for most of us. We discuss some of the ways to recognize the pitfall of greed in our life. We hope you enjoy this episode and don't forget to share us with a friend!

Most of us grew up singing, "On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand." You can hear it now reverberating through the church rafters. This week's parable inspired the lyric of this classic hymn and causes us to evaluate our foundation for life more deeply. In this episode, we dig deeper into the meaning of the text. We hope you enjoy it. And don't forget to subscribe!

Have you ever RSVPed to a dinner invite but then bailed last minute? Or didn't accept an invitation as an honored guest? In this week's podcast, we unpack the meaning behind the great banquet parable. Was Jesus telling us never to miss a party, or is there a deeper meaning leading us to accept His invitation and invite others to do the same?

In this week's podcast, we dive deeper into Miles Hatcher's sermon on the Pearl of Great Price (Matt. 13:44-46). In the span of three verses Jesus gives us two stories that help us better grasp the incredible joy offered in His Kingdom. We hope you enjoy it and share with a friend!
