The Deep End: Good Works?

Today in "The Deep End" we will explore a topic that can be a little tricky to discuss. But the Word of God is clear on it and it's very important for us to know so we can live the way we were intended to. We hope this would bless your soul and that you would be inspired and motivated to live for good works. Thanks for listening! 

The Deep End: Hope, Riches and Power

What are the best tools we have to staying forward for Christ Jesus all our lives? The Apostle Paul considered that eternal hope, riches and power in Christ Jesus is what the church needs to truly do what God has called them to do. So he prayed that the Ephesians would know these 3 things, profoundly. And what if we knew them as well? As we'll discover, they would change our lives, forever and we would buy into following Christ permanently. We hope this blesses you!

The Deep End: Enlightenment

What could we do with MORE knowledge, MORE hope, MORE riches and MORE power? Well, if that all pertains to God, then the answer is A LOT. We struggle in this life simply by not knowing what God knows. But, the reality is that we don't have to struggle, at least the way that we often do, with the lack of joy, confidence and security. The Apostle Paul once prayed for a church that they would know MORE and see MORE CLEARLY, and that request to God is one that we need as well. Today in "The Deep End", we'll discover what true enlightenment really is. Blessings!

The Deep End: God's Glory and Our Purpose

Is God's glory really the thing we want to live for? That's an honest question because it's not always. Sometimes we're in conflict with God's will and glory because we think we can find better happiness and contentment elsewhere, and that truly is a shame. But if we see God's glory and will the way the Scriptures intend us to, then we will not only live for the glory of God, but we will find the MOST joy, security and peace we could ever find. Pastor Mel helps me discuss this very profound topic. Blessings!

The Deep End: Glory of God

Do we exist for no reason? Do we exist for our own desires and will? Of course, not, we know that we exist for something much higher. But perhaps we don't quite know that purpose like we should. Today, we'll explore the Glory of God and why living for it is the best thing for us, and better yet, the best thing for our God. We hope this blesses your soul!

The Deep End: Need for Jesus

There are some things we "need" to do in this life, and then there are legitimate, crucial things that if we don't heed them will endanger our physical lives. Well, Jesus told us in the Gospel of John through 7 "I AM" statements that He is CRUCIAL for our souls. And if we don't listen to Jesus, the consequence will be off the charts. We hope this reminder today would encourage you to NEED Jesus and do exactly as He taught us to because He loves us. Blessings!

The Deep End: Preparing for Jesus

We all know what it's like to prepare for things, especially big events of our lives. But the question we as Christians must primarily concern ourselves with, is "Are we preparing to meet Jesus?". In this episode we will discuss the poor souls from Matthew 25 who were unprepared to meet Jesus and how we can use their foolishness to our advantage by taking this precious time on earth to get ready to meet Jesus in way that loves Him. We hope this blesses you!

The Deep End: Highest Love

The Lord Jesus once asked the Apostle Peter if he loved Him "more than these?" The "these" aren't defined for us, but the question itself is plenty to chew on. Do we love Jesus more than anything and anyone? The question is necessary for the Lord to know that He can ask us anything and to have the confidence that we'll follow Him all our days. Peter passed the test. So, do we love Jesus with our highest love? We hope this blesses you!

The Deep End: The Effect of Jesus' Power

Just how amazing and profound is the experience of trusting in Jesus and being saved from our sins? We all might attest that there is nothing more profound, but do we live that way? We will take time again to reflect on the power of Jesus and its effect on our souls so that this world can be greatly impacted by those who have experienced that incredible power. Blessings!

The Deep End: Today's Candy

Jesus is the Bread of Life and He came to nourish us forever. But are we too concerned with "today's candy"; the things that make us happy only today? We will seek to dive into "The Deep End" and discover that the Bread of Life is exactly what we truly want, if we'll only have the proper perspective. Hope this blesses you!
