Welcome to the "Faith/Life" podcast, where we explore the intersection of faith and everyday life. In this episode, our hosts Pastor Matt and Pastor Nathan delve into the myths and misconceptions surrounding Easter. Contrary to popular belief, Easter is not a pagan moon or spring festival that Christians took over. The date of Easter is actually tied to the timing of Passover, and the hosts note that the association of two events does not necessarily mean one caused the other.

The hosts also discuss the origins of the word "Easter," which may come from the Saxon language or Proto-Germanic language. The tradition of decorating eggs during Easter is often associated with the symbol of fertility, but there is no evidence that it started with paganism. The use of eggs during Easter has also been used in the traditional Passover seder meal.

While the origins of some Easter traditions, such as the Easter Bunny and eggs, remain unclear, what is important is what is being celebrated - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hosts debunk the theory that the Easter Bunny comes has pagan roots related to the goddess of fertility.

Join us as we explore the true meaning behind Easter and why it is an important celebration for Christians. Don't miss this informative episode of the "Faith/Life" podcast!

Welcome to this week's episode of the Discovery Fellowship Sermon podcast, where we explore the book of Ephesians with Pastor Rick. In this episode, we will be discussing the topic of "Barriers" and how they can prevent people from getting to know God.

Have you ever felt like an outsider looking in when it comes to understanding God and faith? Do you struggle to believe in God or feel like He is unknowable? If so, this episode is for you.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Rick shares two observations about people outside of the church. He highlights how difficult it can be for many unchurched people to believe in or get to know God, and how fighting against these impressions is an important ministry.

Drawing from the Apostle Paul's teachings in Ephesians, Pastor Rick explains how Jesus Christ has obliterated the roadblocks and hurdles that once existed between God and humanity. He emphasizes that religious pedigree, adherence to laws and rules, and attendance at a particular church are not what matter to God; rather, it is faith in Jesus Christ that grants access to Him.

Join us as we dive deeper into the topic of "Barriers" and learn how we can help break down these barriers for ourselves and others. Don't miss this powerful episode of the "Awoke" series podcast with Pastor Rick.

Welcome to the Faith/Life Podcast with Discovery Fellowship Church, where we explore the intersection of faith and everyday life. In this episode, Pastors Matt and Nathan dive into the question of why Christian movies are generally considered bad. They discuss how Christian filmmakers often prioritize conveying a message over telling a good story, resulting in poor character development and visuals. This has led to the stereotype that Christian movies are propaganda, and the fear of offending Christian audiences limits filmmakers' ability to create real, relatable characters and tackle difficult subjects.

Pastor Matt and Pastor Nathan examine the history of the church as a standard for good art and compare it to the current state of Christian movies. They discuss how these movies can be cheesy and not well-made, leading to the expectation that Christian movies will be bad. They then take a look at the top grossing Christian movies and note that many of them are not very good.

Ultimately, they question whether Christians should be making movies at all and if they do, how they can be improved. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing Christian filmmakers in today's culture. Tune in to the Faith/Life Podcast with Discovery Fellowship Church, hosted by Pastors Matt and Nathan.

Hey everyone, have you ever experienced the death of a loved one? It can be a tough and emotional time, and it can make us realize that death is an enemy that cannot be changed.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Rick Vannoy continues the "Awoke" series with a message titled "Change!" He reflects on his own experience with the death of his uncle and how it relates to the message of Ephesians chapter 2.

The passage talks about how humanity was spiritually dead before being saved by God's grace. Pastor Rick emphasizes the power of God in raising Jesus Christ from the dead and in saving believers from their spiritual death. He also emphasizes how salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned through our actions.

But that's not all, the passage also discusses how we are God's special project, created for good works that were prepared beforehand. Pastor Rick encourages us to live like we are alive, wide awake, and to trust in Jesus Christ as our personal savior.

If you're looking for a community of believers to grow with, consider checking out Discovery Fellowship Church. We'd love to have you join us!
