“We must be vulnerable and available to those around us.” In this message, Pastor Jamey and Pastor Shaun tag team to wrap up our “Jesus in My” series with Jesus in my Workplace. Jamey kicks it off with a word he received for the church, and then they dive into what Jesus in my workplace or marketplace looks like. They both share some great stories of how sharing what God has done in our lives impacts those around us. Listen in to hear an incredible message
In 2 Kings 20, Hezekiah was faced with eminent death. In tears, he prays out to God, and within moments, God tells Isaiah that Hezekiah will live another 15 years. Later, Isaiah confronts Hezekiah after he shows off the treasures of Judah to the Babylonians. Isaiah informs him that a time is coming when all the treasures as well as some of his very own sons will be carried off to Babylon. Ironically, Hezekiah saw the message as “good” since it wasn’t going to happen in “his” lifetime. What about his people? Hezekiah showed no concern for his people, his family? He should have cried out to God as much for his people as he did for his own life. Jesus describes our family as anyone who does the will of the Father, and Paul, calls out people who won’t care for their relatives as “worse” than unbelievers. Do we show concern for our people? Are we taking care of our mother, brothers and sisters in Christ? Or are we being self-centered like Hezekiah? Join us as we introspect and evaluate how we look at the needs of those around us.
Join us as Pastor Jamey continues in our “Jesus in My…” series. Today Jamey speaks on Jesus in our relationships and how we must live a life of surrender and humility, so that HE may live through us.
Anxiety can come in many forms and can emanate from many aspects of life. Regardless of where it comes from, the result is destructive and without benefit. Arthur Roche describes anxiety as “… a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” The Bible consistently notes that it accomplishes nothing and only tears down and destroys. The Bible also notes that anxiety comes from a lack of trust (i.e., lack of faith) in God. Listen in as we learn from the Bible the truths about anxiety and how we can overcome it.
The Bible documents 132 times that Jesus touches people. Only 10 times did he work with people in and around the temple. The other 122 times, Jesus was interacting with people in normal streams of life. We too should realize that if we are to be successful in our mission, we have to be changed by God in our normal streams of life, not just within a church setting. In today’s message, we address a common problem for many, Depression. The problem has doubled its affect over the last three years, and is second only to heart disease, in causing death in the United States today. Walk with us through 1Kings 19, where we see one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament, Elijah, go through a season of Depression. See how he falls into this trap of the enemy, and ultimately, how God delivers him from it.
This is week two in our “Jesus In My _________” series. Join in as Pastor Jamey addresses how to “Move” into your freedom.
