We all want to be respected and to have a NAME that is known and valued.  But more than having a Name that makes us look good, we should want a NAME that makes God look GREAT!

Join Joel and Ryan today as they discuss Ecclesiastes 7 and other passages of Scripture to see how God's work to save us from our sins gives us a name we could never earn.  God's work to make us more like Jesus also will keep us on the path as WE join God in process becoming more like Jesus.

Curious about how all this works out practically in our lives together?  Listen and watch today to discover what the Scriptures direct us to do to keep more in step with God's ways and receive a name that gives all the Glory to God.

One is the loneliest number!  No one wants to be lonely and yet we can often find ourselves disconnected and alone as we face the challenges of life.

There are reasons why we struggle with our connections with others and Joel and Ryan will discuss Ecclesiastes chapter 4 to discover what Solomon has to say to us about the importance of connection.

We are made for relationship with God and with our brothers and sisters in Christ and the enemy wants to keep us too busy, too lazy, or too stubborn to make time for connections.  

Listen and watch to discover why a cord of three strands is not easily broken and why we have to make connections in the Body of Christ.  When we make Christ's church our priority we will make time to pray, praise, and work to understand and obey God's Word.

How would you describe the way that you PRAISE GOD?  And why does this matter?

We were able to take a refreshing break at a Worship Conference called Sing! 2022 in Nashville!  WOW!  We all rediscovered the transformative power of corporate PRAISE!

We all need to work.  We all need to rest.  And we all need to PRAISE!  This conference helped us in so many ways as a staff with our spouses to be able to get away and spend time together. 

One of the best parts of the conference was our time worshipping together.  We sang A LOT!
With many different styles, instruments, parts, and pieces, but the FOCUS was worshipping GOD and His Salvation He gives to us in JESUS!

Adding consistent PRAISE to our lives has the POWER to CHANGE OUR DAY!
Do you feel God calling you to increase your passion and heart to PRAISE HIM?

Listen to Joel and Ryan overflow with many good words about their experiences in Nashville and how time praising God is worth every minute!

WHEN and HOW does Pleasure+Work+Wisdom= ZERO?  Isn't Solomon and the book of Ecclesiastes just taking a pessimistic, negative view of life? OR is there something MORE than we need to learn about life under the sun?

Join Anna, Garrick, and Ryan as they discuss Ecclesiastes chapter 2 and discover WHEN and HOW life DOES have meaning and when it doesn't.

We all look for MEANING in life.  Meaning is usually found in our motivations for doing what we're doing or what we're allowing to become a priority in our LIFE.  By allowing God to CORRECT the reason WHY we do what we do, we will find that life does have meaning.

Maybe we can rediscover what happens when we live for HIM and OTHERS, and not for our selfish pursuits.

Solomon said that life was meaningless.  Work can be and so can Wisdom, according to the World's wisest man.  But was he right?  Isn't there hope and meaning to be found?

We are starting a NEW SERIES of discussions in the book of Ecclesiastes, dealing the topics that Solomon, the preacher, brings to our attention.

Jason and Ryan talk through Ecclesiastes chapter 1 and discover where meaning can be found and how we can prevent ourselves from becoming TOO CYNICAL.

Listen in to discover God's solution to what CAN BE a meaningless life at times.  The answer may just SURPRISE YOU!

Jesus' teaching had REAL AUTHORITY.  The crowd that heard the Sermon on the Mount was ASTONISHED at His teaching.  It was different than the teaching of the religious leaders.  Jesus' teaching could and should change your life.  If you came to believe in Him.

While Joel and Ryan discuss some truths that keeps impacting them from Jesus' Sermon, we still will love to keep looking back to the Sermon, memorizing some of it, so that we can keep and applying its main points.  

Many storms pound our lives, like the storm that hit the two homes in the end of the sermon.  The key to staying strong and standing, according to Jesus, is by faith as someone in His Kingdom APPLYING HIS TRUTH to our lives.

So how well do you know the Sermon on the Mount?  How well are you doing at APPLYING its truths with your brothers and sisters in the church?  What steps could we take together to DO what is TRUE according to Jesus?  Let's keep doing these things TOGETHER!

There are dangers to living the Christian life.  And Jesus warns us about these very real dangers that we will all face in Matt. 7: 15-23.

Joel and Ryan talk about how to be aware of FALSE TEACHERS and FALSE TEACHING as well as avoiding the temptations that come from trying to live a life based on WORKS.  It's easy to get caught up  in BOASTING about WE have done, instead of focusing on simply and humbly DOING GOD'S WILL.

How can you learn to evaluate a teacher's teaching without becoming TOO SUSPICIOUS of everyone?  How can we make sure that we're keeping on Jesus' path of DOING the WILL of the FATHER?

Listen in today to On Our Way Home.  Share this podcast with a friend, talk it over, and work to apply Jesus' teaching from Matt. 7:15-23.

It's too easy to be focused on ME.  And it's too easy to want to go the EASY way rather than the HARD way when it comes to living life.

Jesus calls us to HIS narrow way, which is the way of LIFE.  And a life that is lived treating others the way that we would want them to treat us.  In other words, Jesus calls His followers to live a life of LOVE like He did.

But we don't like narrow and we don't like hard.  We like easy and broad.  
And what's easy isn't always best.  

So how can we treat others well without making it about US, and how can we keep choosing the narrow path with Jesus?

Listen as Joel and Ryan talk through Matt. 7:12-14 to hear what will help us keep walking on Jesus' narrow way.
