Thrive Church Podcast

This week, we are blessed to have Cassidy and Clif Novak share a great message.  It goes along with last week’s message, and in many ways, builds upon the idea we will never face something we cannot handle.

The Bible states that we will not tempted beyond what we can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13), but a lot of people take this as God promises we will never face challenges that are beyond our ability or perseverance.  Christ said the opposite, He said we will face persecution and a lot of it (John 15 & 16).  In fact, the point of these trials we face in life is to lean on God rather than facing them alone (Proverbs 3:5-6).  Pastor Brians shares the freeing message this week of God’s easy yoke.

Welcome to our new series!  This first week?  The world says to follow your heart, and yet the Bible teaches the complete opposite.  It seems to be a catch-all phrase to do whatever we want in life, but God calls us to obedience instead.  Pastor Brian kicks off this new series with a great start!

What is one of the greater things we can do for Christ?  Share The Gospel.  Once we come to know Christ, and experience his goodness, a sign of this is that we feel compelled to share how good He is.  In this week’s message, Pastor Brian shares how there are signs of our growth and the greater things that believers do to show this!  Also, Howie shares an amazing story of salvation at the end.

Have you ever seen a miracle in your life?  How many times have you had the clarity to see when God has shown up for us?  God is good, He is there for us, and he delivers on His promises.  Pastor Brian shares a wonderful message about how God has shown up for him in his life, and how it’s good to have the eyes to see when He does for us!

Jesus said that we will do “greater things” than even He did.  Well how can that be possible?  Well, it starts with every small action we take in our lives.  Let’s find out with this week’s amazing message with Pastor Brian!

Does it ever feel like the game is rigged, the game being life?  Exactly, it’s like McDonald’s Monopoly.  Get this, God’s grace makes life not fair, and that’s a good thing for all of us.  Pastor Brian shares an awesome message about living in God’s grace and how that help creates peace in our hearts.

Life doesn’t go as planned sometimes, and that’s okay.  For instance, space travel.  It seems everything can be in order, you can seemingly have all the right things in all the right places, and yet things can still go wrong.  The correct order is God’s order; Pastor Brian shares a great message about having this order in our lives.

Our apologies for not being able to upload a message from last week, we were experiencing some technical difficulties, but a huge thank you to Pastor Nate for sharing about healing in Christ.  This week’s message, delivered by Pastor Brian, is from Acts 10.  Life sure is full of surprises, isn’t it?  Together, we get to explore how the early church reacted to such unexpected twists in life.

Tearing anything down is easy, building others up is what seems to be difficult in this life.  This week, Pastor Brian shares a message about Barnabas in the Book of Acts and how he went around encouraging others; let us all be Barnabas to one another.
