Episode 22:  What Is The Purpose Of The Church?

Why do we do all the things we do? What are we here for anyway? What am I supposed to be doing?

Today Steve gives us a framework to see from a distance an overarching view as to why Believers work, serve, study, pray, fellowship, give, go and send while trying to love God with all their heart.

Listen in and hopefully it will give you some clarity and perspective.

Episode 19:  “It’s Going To Be OK . . . “

This is a short audio clip from a talk I gave at a Leader’s Conference in Chicago a while back.  I broke away from my notes and ministered to leaders in the crowd who were feeling alone, wounded, and discouraged.  This is right where Paul the apostle was after having been beaten unjustly and wondering how he would ever get to Rome

Episode 14: We are instructed to Honor God above all else. We are also taught to honor our parents, leaders, and one another. True honor is authentic. In fact Honor can actually be synonymous with love:

Romans 12:9–10 (NLT) Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.  LOVE each other with genuine affection, and take delight in HONORING each other. (The ESV says: "Outdo one another in showing honor!")
