Troy Gramling Podcast

Have you ever played the game “Battleship”? Two players battle one another in attempt to sink each others’ battleships. In our real, daily lives, we are somewhat engaged in a game of spiritual Battleship with the devil—he’s looking to find our moral weaknesses and to ultimately sink and destroy our hearts. When we choose to fight sin and do the right thing, the enemy “misses” our battleship, and we can claim victory over the devil.

Our lives are full of decision-making opportunities at every turn. Take a political election for example—which candidate do we vote for? God has equipped you and I with the attributes necessary for good decision-making, but making decisions can still seem so difficult. So how do we know how to make the right decisions? Join Pastor Troy Gramling as he shares with us from God’s ultimate handbook for good decision-making—the Bible.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. We’ve all heard the classic rhyme—but the truth is, words can and do cause hurt. In the midst of election seasons, we hear so many harsh, hurtful words hurled between candidates. The Bible teaches that our words either kill, or they give life; our words are powerful. Discover how a changed heart can bring about true transformation of our lives and the words that come out of our mouths.

The nation of Russia sent the first satellite into space, but the United States actually won the great “space race” by reaching the ultimate goal of landing a man on the moon. Russia never made it to the moon. God wants you to succeed—to “land on the moon”—fulfilling your greatest dreams. Pastor Troy Gramling teaches us the qualities that helped the United States land a man on the moon, and are the same qualities that can help us achieve our dreams and reach our God Potential.

The United States’ space program was born out of the heart of willing volunteers. They paved the way for the launch of rockets, space ships, and ultimately, for a man to walk on the moon. You and I were created to serve; God tells us that He has gifted each one of us with specific gifts and talents to be used to serve His church and to reach people for Christ. Join Pastor Brian Vasil as he encourages us to discover our gifts, and challenges us to use those gifts to volunteer and become servants to one another and to Christ.

Do you and I have the “right stuff” to love God and love others more than ourselves? In these modern times of tension, war, pain, and trouble, our world needs a vision that we can reach for that’s bigger than you and me. That’s what Jesus gives us; He gives us a vision that is greater than just one person. Do you and I have the courage to follow Him and sacrifice for this vision, in order to change the world?

Our journey through life faces many trials and unexpected tribulations. When the astronauts on the Apollo 13 space mission encountered debilitating problems with their space ship, they listened to mission control’s direction—they didn’t question their instructions on what to do to save themselves and return to earth safely. Everything mission control asked them to do, they did. God asks us to do a few very specific things after we accept Christ, so why should we then question Him, our very own mission control? In this teaching, Pastor Troy Gramling shares with us what God asks of His followers after we take our first step into salvation through Christ.

Have you ever thought how difficult it is to travel to space and landing back on earth safely? Just as a spaceship has to re-enter the atmosphere through a narrow entry angle, so it is with our entry into Heaven. The gateway to eternal life is very narrow, and only a few will enter; the highway to hell is broad. The Apollo 13 space mission needed a rescue, just as we need a rescue from sin and the road to destruction. In this message, Pastor Troy Gramling shares the good news that God provides our rescue ship so we can be safe and secure from destruction, we just have to choose to have faith and climb into the ship.

What anchors your HOPE? What's your source? Is it your bank account or your title at work? Maybe your HOPE is in the car you drive and the cloth you where?

HOPE is as FRAGILE as it is POWERFUL.

HOPE misplaced is fickle and fleeting, an aimless chasing of the wind leading to discontentment and confusion.

Could HOPE anchored in Jesus really lead to purpose and rich fulfillment in every area of your life?

THE PROMISE!

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life (HOPE), and that they may have it more abundantly.” John‬ ‭10:10‬

Even in the midst of your suffering and life's many challenges you can have... HOPE!
