Today, we embark on a brand new series here on Rinse and Repeat.  This series is entitled "Fear Not," and will explore God's Word on the issue of anxiety.  We will explore God's presence in the midst of our fears, the role of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the church amidst our anxieties, and much more.

Today, by way of introduction, we will examine what our fears cause us to do.  In particular, we will look at two different examples in Scripture -  one who faced fear and essentially ran FROM God, and one who faced fear and ran TO God.

Join me for today's introduction to FEAR NOT, a brand new series here on Rinse and Repeat!

Sometimes we can just feel swallowed up by circumstances and situations, and we can't seem to see a way through the fog!

On this special edition of Rinse and Repeat, we are going to look at Hebrews 10:35-39, and explore the truth that the "just shall live by faith."

What does it mean to live by faith?  What does it look like practically, especially when life gets really, REALLY hard?

Join me today, for Rinse and Repeat!

Today's podcast explores lessons from the life of Rebekah, wife of Isaac.  Her story starts of strong, as she models an incredible work ethic, but after the birth of her twin sons, Esau and Jacob, her life takes a turn.  Rebekah and Issac show favoritism, and Rebekah falls into chilling patterns of manipulative behavior.

Rebekah teaches us to be incredibly mindful of what we do to get our way, and how deceit can be so subtle, and yet so incredibly damaging.

Its rough stuff, but so very important on today's episode of Rinse and Repeat!

If God is for you, who can be against you?

This profound truth from Romans 8:31 is the topic of today's episode of Rinse and Repeat.  We will explore what it means that God is FOR us, and how that truth changes how we face our enemies, and approach every aspect of the Christian life!

"Remember Lot's wife!"

“No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Jesus issued these two important warnings, and they lie at the heart of today's lesson on Lot's wife and daughters!

Turn with me to Genesis 19, and we learn that we can lead lives that are saved, and yet sadly fruitless and largely wasted.  

The warning is clear - there ought to be the world behind me, the cross before me, not turning back, NO TURNING BACK!

Hagar's story is replete with lessons.  Lessons on NOT running from your problems. Lessons on waiting on God to fulfill His promises. Lessons that center on these remarkable words:  FEAR NOT, FOR GOD HAS HEARD. Today's podcast will pick up mostly on the second part of Hagar's story, since we explored El Roi so closely a few weeks ago.  Click here for that episode, and join me now for this close look at the remarkable story of Hagar, in Genesis 16 and 21.

I have often wondered why Sarah went along with Abraham's plan to call her his sister (rather than his wife) not once, but TWICE.  If you recall Abraham did this with Pharaoh, and again with Abimelech.  Why did Sarah go along with this plan?  What examples in Scripture are there of wives who did not go along with their husbands when the plan involved disobeying God's Word? 

In Sarah's life we see so many rich lessons of incredible faith - so much so that her story appears in the hall of faith in Hebrews 11:11.  She is also an example to women in 1 Peter 3:1-6.  So journey with me as we explore Sarah as an example of the beauty of obedience!
