The Pentecostals of Smyrna

In this weeks episode, Pastor Saddler talks about those of us who are directionally challenged, when we are looking for God's direction in our lives. Most times when we are to make big decisions in our lives we each have our own process. But what some of us may have in common is that we look for God's direction. In this there are personal obstacles that we struggle with that either hinder us from making the decision or cause us to choose the wrong decision. If you want to overcome and make choices that help us stay on the path towards heaven then keep listening.  

This Sunday, Pastor Saddler reminds us that God deserves all the glory. We forget that we are called to bring God all the glory and all the honor. We are to take the glimpses of his glory he allows us to see and use it to transform our lives. Because we are to be like Christ. If we could just give back to God with our praises, even if he doesn't bless us in our timing. We owe him more than our lifetime of praises could pay.

In this weeks episode, Pastor Saddler talks about "The Will of God in Christianese". As Christians their are phrases we have become accustomed to using. But one that is almost universal is "The Will of God". But when we use this phrase often times it is as an excuse. We say we don't know if it is the will of God, then stop ourselves from making decisions or choices. But God doesn't want this, we are to keep working and moving forward. Even if we take little steps towards a goal, it is better than doing nothing. We need to get spiritually invested and if we are faithful, God will put us where we need to be.

This Sunday, Pastor Saddler tells us how we can get back what we have lost. Often times when we make mistakes or backslide we believe that, that part of ourselves will always stick to us. But God doesn't want us to wear our past. Are past can be wiped clean, if we just pursue God. Even when we feel unclean and unworthy God just asks for us to reach for him. We can't expect it to happen overnight but rest assured if you are faithful and worship him with all you have, God will meet you where you are.

This Sunday, Pastor Saddler titles his sermon "Prettier Clean." We already know there are things that are right and there are things that are wrong. But how many times do we blur the line for own sake? Now is not the time for us, as a whole, to be lax. Because people look to the church and if we aren't doing right how can we ask others to do right. We are shown that a daily cleanse is necessary to fulfill God's will. We must do our part so God can do his. No matter how dirty you think you are God can and will cleanse you, if you are willing. 

In this weeks episode Pastor Saddler talks about biblical parenting. Parenting can be difficult, but often times its about finding balance. We were given children by God to raise up, to be fruitful and prepared. We cannot get stuck on being our child's friend. Because without the balance of correction and encouragement we are at risk of losing our child to the world. If you want to train up this generation to be men and woman of God, then keep listening. 

This Sunday, Pastor Saddler titles his sermon "Don't Be Nasty". When is the last time you were cleansed? Do find yourself being deceived, thinking that your sin is okay? Though God may use us, that doesn't mean he accepts us. It's not God's will for us to live in sin. He wants us to be separated from the nasty things of this world. If you want to cut off the things that are keeping you from being purified, this message is for you.

In this week's episode Pastor Saddler breaks down the imposter syndrome. Many of us may struggle with this condition and think nothing of it. But in our everyday lives we can find it hard to move forward because of it. Whether you won't apply for a promotion because you think you are undeserving or You can't accept praise after doing a good job. These seem like small things but they can stop us from growing. We learn in this lesson how to condition ourselves to see the truth. That you are not an imposter and God does not make mistakes. 

In this weeks episode Pastor Saddler helps us plan for 2023. We learn that in order to make a plan, there are steps that we need to take. Whether is be surrounding ourselves with the right people or even asking for help from those who have already accomplished what we are trying to do. It is important to make a plan no matter what type of goal we set. If you want to make 2023 your year, keep listening.

This Sunday, Pastor Saddler titles his sermon "Keep Patiently Waiting." We all know that God has a plan for us. But sometimes we stray off the path he has set to fulfill his plan. We believe that since he is all powerful things should just happen over night, but that's not how it works. We must remain faithful and endure. If are eyes stay fixed on Jesus, there's nothing we can't accomplish if its his will.
