Jeff Christopherson returns to Sound of Truth Podcast (previous episodes: #274 & #275) to give an overview of the seven temptations of the Western Church: 

1- Philosophicalism: Prioritizing doctrinal correctness over compassionate action. 

"So he said to me, 'This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.'" (Zechariah 4.6, MSB)

In this episode, Brett reminds us that we can only live out Christianity by the power of the Holy Spirit in us.

Haggai questions the commitment of God's people. How can they say they value God when their personal houses are very nice while God's house is in disrepair? Haggai challenges us to show that God is really #1 in our lives.

In one of the most stunning verses in the entire Bible, we learn that God rejoices over His children with singing. This short message could change your perspective of God!

What happens when you don't feel like you are experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised? What happens when circumstances seem to indicate that God is not blessing you? Will you still trust in God? Can you still REJOICE in Him?

The modern mind struggles to imagine how God could be vengeful or jealous. But Nahum reminds us that it is an essential part of God's holy character.

What does God expect of us? The answer is found in Micah 6.8 (MSB)...

He has shown you, O man, what is good.

And what does the LORD require of you

but to act justly, to love mercy,

and to walk humbly with your God?

Some call the book of Jonah a whale of a tale, but Brett sees it as a powerful little book (only four chapters) that packs a powerful punch. See the amazing love of our God for rebels, and be challenged to pursue a love that is unnatural for us.

The shortest book in the Old Testament, Obadiah provides a powerful warning against the sin of pride.  The Edomites, a people though small in number, were not small in pride. And their sinful pride primed them for inevitable judgment from Almighty God.

Trevor Davis shares how Great Commission Church went from being a Word church to a Word & Spirit church. As they keep the Gospel central and aim at boldly sharing the message of Christ, the Holy Spirit does amazing things in their midst.
