Becoming Convinced That God Cares

Psalm 23

January 12, 2021 • Jeff Lyle

To believe that He is a caring God is one thing. To believe that He is a God who cares personally for you is another. In a world full of problems, pain and poison, how can we daily live with the confidence that God truly cares for us? This message revisits the timeless words of the 23rd Psalm to walk us through the determined communication from God that He personally chose to reassure us time and again that we are loved and cared for by Him. This care for us is seen - not in the absence of our trouble - but in His unwavering promise to accompany us in our trouble and deliver us out of our trouble. He is the God who cares for you, no matter whatever else life may be communicating to you.

What True Love Looks Like

March 26, 2024 • Jeff Lyle • 1 Corinthians 13:4–8

The world you live in is so incredibly confused and complicated that it cannot even produce an agreed-upon definition of what Love is. In fact, most of which is promoted as love today has little to do with what God defines love as being. When we look into Scripture, we are both confronted and blessed by how God describes love. When we adopt His definition as our own, we are liberated on the inside to love others in a way that freely gives and does not selfishly demand anything in return. This episode of Truth Shots unpacks three short passages of Scripture to help all of us understand better what true love looks like.

Returning to God

March 12, 2024 • Jeff Lyle • Isaiah 55

Most people who have some belief in God end up underestimating two things: His holiness & His kindness. Some are casual with the God of Heaven, believing Him to be just like us, tolerating evil, turning a blind eye to sin, and never responding to bring a hand of correction into their lives. Others are the exact opposite; they believe God to be angry, fed-up, distant, and uncaring. What is glorious is when a person can believe that God is both holy and kind at the highest possible levels. This is the God who is calling millions to return to Him in this generation. Few passages reveal this more poetically than Isaiah chapter 55. This is where we meet the God of holiness and compassion.
