Wooster Nazarene Podcast

GOD GAVE US FREEDOM. Much of the world’s evil comes from human choices and not God’s cruelty. He created us to be free so we could choose love … but … freedom can be abused!

GOD USES PAIN AND SUFFERING TO SHAPE US. Pain is not good, but God can use it for good. Trials deepen our faith and draw us closer to Him [James 1:2-4].

GOD ENTERED OUR SUFFERING. At the cross, Jesus took on the worst evil, betrayal, injustice, torture, and death … on the worst day in history to bring us to the greatest good: salvation!!! God allows suffering, and He joins us in it!!!

This is a PICTURE OF GOD’S GRACE!!! He did this because He is love!!! Don’t you want to EXPERIENCE GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL, yes PERFECT LOVE??? You have a HUGE HOLE IN YOUR HEART that ONLY GOD CAN FILL. You have LONGED FOR THIS LOVE your whole life because GOD MADE YOU FOR LOVE. He CREATED YOU IN LOVE … FOR HIS LOVE.

God’s great GRACE CAN DEMOLISH AND WIPE OUT ALL SIN: JEALOUSY, LUST, LIES, DECEPTION, ADDICTIONS, PRIDE, CHEATING, AND GUILT!!! When we CONFESS OUR SINS and HAND EVERYTHING OVER TO HIM … He TAKES CARE OF IT ALL … INSTANTLY!!!

God DOESN’T SEND PEOPLE TO HELL! He SENT JESUS TO SAVE US from hell and GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN.

When we are born … ETERNAL LIFE BEGINS. We were CREATED TO LIVE FOREVER! We’ll all SPEND ETERNITY … SOMEWHERE. The IMPACT OF HEAVEN AND HELL is visible here and now in this life. JESUS CAME TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE!

This is an exclusively inclusive invitation. He’s the only way to the Father, but we’re all invited to place our faith in Him. Christianity is all about Jesus! The work has been done!!! Look to Jesus and find the Source of Life!

PROBLEMS ARISE when our TALK AND WALK DON’T ALIGN. It’s CONFUSING and it TURNS PEOPLE OFF! This sort of thing is a COMMON PROBLEM. Let’s TALK ABOUT IT today!

Some of you still aren’t convinced that you truly are created as God’s workmanship – a masterpiece. You can do the things that he has prepared for you to do. There’s too much baggage. Poor choices that you have made, or situations that happened to you!

SPIRITUAL DECONSTRUCTION and DE-CONVERTING is a TRENDING TOPIC these days. I began hearing this term some time ago on podcasts. This is a CONTROVERSIAL AND EMOTIONALLY CHARGED subject but it’s NOT A NEW IDEA. We need to face and deal with this, so we are POSITIONED TO LOVE people and INVITE THEM TO FAITH in Jesus.

On Easter Sunday, Pastor Nathan delivers his first message on the new series Uncertain.

GOD REVEALS himself as JEHOVAH JIREH. He is the GOD WHO PROVIDES. He FORESEES ALL! PROVISION is an ACT OF FORESIGHT. He ANTICIPATES ALL NEEDS and MEETS ALL NEEDS … PROVISIONALLY … before they happen.
