Trusted Provider
A Fearless Trust Series
Part 3: Contentment
June 25, 2023 • Ryan Oddo
Is what you have enough? Have you learned to be content in plenty and in want? For many of us, the answer is a resounding "No!' The question isn't "Do we have anything do eat?", it's "Do we have what we're in the mood for?"; not "Do I have clothes to wear?", but "Are they the latest fashion?"; and not "Do I have a roof over my head?", but "How many square feet are under that roof and how many acres to I own outside of it?" That is our reality, and it's in the midst of that reality the God invites us to turn our hearts to Him, seek Him and say "It is enough.", and allow Him to remove the pressure and frustration of discontentment.
Part 2: Weekly Sabbath
June 11, 2023 • Ryan Oddo
You've probably heard the word "Sabbath" before. But have you ever tried to make it a weekly rhythm in your life? There may have been a time that this was a normal way of life in US culture, but that is no longer the case. Few things are as counter cultural in our present age as Sabbath is. Taking a day every week to say, "God, You are enough. My work is enough. You provide enough. My identity as Your beloved child is enough." is antithetical to our modern age AND is the beautiful, life-giving gift the Lord offers us in Weekly Sabbath.
Part 1: Daily Trust
June 4, 2023 • Ryan Oddo
Fearless Trust moves into it's second set of messages, now looking at how we see God as our Trusted Provider. Often, we think of trusting God in the big picture. We think of large-scale miracles, long-term outlook, and big-picture life events. God, however, invites us into little, daily acts of trust that form us over time into the types of people who are capable of Fearless Trust.
