“Patience, a Believer’s Virtue" is brought to us by Aji.

Patience is a fruit of the Spirit so we know that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can have supernatural patience. Maybe it's a neighbor, childhood friend, or family member that really knows how to push your buttons. Patience is one of the great differentiators of the being a Christian so how can we be a witness to those around us by being more patient?

“Arise My Child" is brought to us by Kishore.

So often we find ourselves getting bogged down by disappointment that we're not seeing the change in the world we'd like to see. Despite hours of prayer and fasting, we trust with our mouths that God can do anything but our hearts grow weary. This message is a great reminder that Jesus can bring the dead to life with just a word and continues to bring the spiritually dead to life daily. He refreshes and rejuvenates our spirits to continue to trust Him and his plan regardless of our own expectations.

Scripture references:

“The Joy of the Lord" is brought to us by Kishore.

We do not believe that it's possible to become born again by the Holy Spirit and remain the same. Your view on your once "normal" way of living will begin to change the more you seek to become more like Christ. This episode, Kishore challenges us to judge our own sins more harshly than we judge others. We must take a long look at our own mistakes before we begin to call others out on where we believe they need to change.

“The Rich in the Church Pt. 2" is brought to us by Aji.

It is so easy for us all to fall into the trap of intimidation when it comes to money and social status. We must be so grounded in our belief that Jesus is the greatest gift to humanity that we will be joyous to give our riches away and to plead to the rich to lay down their own lives for Jesus. It's a difficult topic but we never want to shy away from difficult topics here at POPS!

“The Rich in the Church Pt. 1" is brought to us again by Aji.

According to the 2018 Global Wealth Report from Credit Suisse Research Institute, if you have financial and real assets of at least $4210 to your name, you are richer than half the world’s population. In America especially, many of us live in complete abundance. So when Jesus said “it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven,” He is speaking to us all. He goes on to explain, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” So we must rely on God with all things, our finances included. Aji explains how we are to do that in this session of POPS!

“It’s Never Too Late To Have A Better Ending" is brought to us again by Aji.

Far too often we believe we are too far gone to be redeemed. But time after time in Scripture, we read of characters and stories that remind us that no one is ever too lost or broken to be made whole in Jesus.

“The Called Ones Pt. 2" is brought to us again by Kishore.

Jesus really told us to love everyone. It’s so easy to get caught up in wanting to band together with people who like what we like and who hate what we think we should hate. I encourage you to hate the sin in your life before looking to the sin in others’ lives. Empathy starts with humility.

“The Called Ones Pt. 1" is brought to us by Kishore.

Kishore preaches a challenging message this week and wants to know: who is your tax collector? Why are we, as Christians, not going to the gathering of sinners to proclaim Christ? Why are we afraid to take the Gospel to the witch convention or the gay parade? Did Christ not die for us while we were still sinners? We'll tackle tough questions like these as we continue in Matthew chapter 9.
