In this episode, we dive into the deep and profound concept of first love—but not just in the way you might think. We start by reflecting on the idea of first love, whether it was a person, a hobby, or a passion that left an indelible mark on your heart. We all carry pieces of our first love with us, shaping who we are today. But did you know that you are God’s first love?

We explore how the Trinity—God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit—exist in perfect oneness and how, from the very beginning, you were chosen to be part of that divine dance. Through Scripture, we uncover the timeless love God has for us, how He created us in His image to reflect His glory, and how Jesus’ sacrifice brought us back into oneness with Him.

This episode will open your heart to the breathtaking reality of God’s love, His desire for intimate fellowship with you, and how this fellowship can transform your life. You’ll discover that His pursuit of you is like no other, and through His oneness, He invites you to join in the Great Circle Dance—a life of union, intimacy, and purpose in Him.

Tune in and let this message remind you that you were, and always will be, God’s first love.

In Part 2 of our series, "How to Live Lovingly in a Broken World," we dive deep into the tough questions:

- Why are people leaving the church?

- Have we turned sacred spaces into productions, missing the heart of what it's all about?

💡 Here's a truth we need to embrace: Love is the "superfruit" the church has been missing. Without love, all our good deeds and efforts are just noise.

We unpack the concept of sin, derived from the Greek word "hamartia," meaning "without form." Sin causes us to live out of context with God’s original design—like playing a piano out of tune or a lion believing it's a fish. The root of sin is believing lies about ourselves and God, as seen in the fall of Adam and Eve.

But there is hope! Jesus provides a new way of living that aligns with our true design. We explore how to live the Jesus way—through prayer, peace, love, forgiveness, service, and obedience—and why living rightly is not just an option but a necessity. The alternative? A life of brokenness, frustration, and unfulfillment. Tune in to discover how you can find purpose, peace, and harmony by embracing the life God has designed for you!

Don't miss this powerful discussion as we kick off this series and begin to understand how to live rightly in the midst of a broken world.

In this episode, we delve into the powerful story of Gideon from Judges 6:1-12 and explore a critical lesson for our own spiritual growth. Ever find yourself asking why God isn’t moving in your life? The answer might lie in the clutter of your heart. Just like Gideon faced a significant challenge before God could use him to achieve great victories, we too must first address the clutter in our lives.

We’ll discuss how the Israelites’ suffering was rooted in their acceptance of foreign gods and customs, showing us that before God can deliver us, He needs to declutter our hearts. Discover the importance of removing the false altars and replacing them with a passionate, undivided worship of God. We'll look at Gideon’s story of breaking down his father’s altar and building a new altar to the LORD, illustrating how true worship involves both tearing down and building up.

You'll hear how God’s call to declutter might feel unsettling but is necessary for bearing fruit in our lives. Are you holding onto outdated customs and beliefs? Is your heart open to passionate worship or distant and cold? This episode will challenge you to examine your own spiritual landscape and make room for God to work in powerful ways.

Tune in for a compelling conversation on making space in your heart for God and understanding why decluttering is crucial for your spiritual journey.

Podcast Description:

We're diving into Week 4 of our series, Good Ground Chapter 2. This week, our sermon is titled "Expectations," and we're exploring how our hopes and anticipations shape our lives, especially in turbulent times.

In today's episode, we’ll start by examining the frustration many feel toward political leaders and their vague promises. The real issue here isn’t just the lack of detailed plans but a deeper concern with unmet expectations.

We’ll turn our focus to what the Bible says about expectations through the lens of Jesus' teachings. Discover how faith, as described in Hebrews 11:1-6, brings the future into the present and makes the invisible visible. It's not about taking a leap in the dark but walking confidently in the light of Christ.

We'll explore why placing our expectations in anything or anyone other than Jesus often leads to disappointment. Using Proverbs 16:9, we’ll see that while we can make plans, it’s God who directs our steps. Only by anchoring our expectations in Christ can we confidently hope for a better tomorrow, navigate through storms, and anticipate victory.

Our Heavenly Father has expectations for us, and we’ll discuss two key aspects from Luke 10:27 and Micah 6:8: loving God and our neighbors, acting justly, and walking humbly. These aren’t just moral guidelines but a reflection of a heart truly aligned with God.

Finally, we’ll uncover the practical steps to plant our expectations firmly in Christ, inspired by John 15:5-7. Learn how remaining in Jesus and letting His words remain in us equips us to face any challenge with unwavering faith.

Tune in to find out how to align your expectations with Christ and experience true fulfillment in every season of life. Don’t miss this powerful message that will reshape your perspective and strengthen your faith!

In this episode, we delve into the Gospel of Mark and uncover the ultimate strategy of Satan against believers. We explore how the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy through deceit, distraction, and false doctrine. Drawing from both the Gospels and Revelation, we examine how Satan’s tactics impact our spiritual lives and how to counteract them. Join us as we uncover the truth behind the devil's schemes and empower ourselves with God's truth and protection.

In this podcast episode, we delve into the profound message of transformation through the Word of God. Using the analogy of soil and seed from Mark 4:1-9, we explore how God desires to shape us into the image of Christ. We confront the idea of creating Jesus in our own image versus being conformed to His likeness, highlighting the dangers of cultural and traditional influences on our perception of God. Through scriptures like Colossians 3:10 and Romans 8:28-29, we discover that God intricately weaves every aspect of our lives together for His ultimate purpose. Ultimately, the episode challenges listeners to behold Christ for true transformation and to boldly share His work in their lives with the world.

So many times we plead our allegiance to political parties, the job, the struggle, life, etc but as servants of the most high we are actually on mission to serve our home, the street we live on, our job, our town, county, and the world.

Listen in to this unique message as Pastor Lindsey uses a very popular tv show to remind every believer of their servanthood for the Kingdom of Heaven!
