Faith Church Audio Podcast

Tired of living like you’re trapped in the land of nothing? Pastor Nicole teaches us how God takes the ugly things in our lives and turns them into something beautiful. We have to get rid of the posture of a beggar and look into the face of the giver. Jesus is the giver of miracles! He wants to give us more than we can ask for. Don’t get angry because God hasn’t given the miracle yet. It takes a minute because the miracle is so big we could never pay for it ourselves! God’s not done yet! Stop begging and start expecting.

It can be hard to get ahead feeling trapped by all our mistakes. Pastor David teaches us that “we’re not what we did, we’re what we do.” Sin tries to contaminate us, but all we have to do is admit it, quit it, and forget it. Through baptism, we can identify with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Baptism is our announcement to the world that our mistakes no longer have power over us. When we focus on the power of Jesus, sin cannot dominate. We’re the ones the Lord loves! Boast about His love and go public with it!

Do you ever look around and all you see is... nothing? Does it feel like God is too far away to help? Pastor David wants us to know that the enemy’s biggest trick is to make us feel separated from God. There is nothing in the world that can keep Him away from us. He wants to help, but we complain instead. He is the God of the impossible. It’s time to start praying big, bold, audacious prayers. He’s listening. Give God the chance and watch how He takes the nothing and turns it into something big!

Have you ever doubted that anything good can remain when it looks like anything that could go wrong does? Pastor Nicole teaches that our circumstances don’t get the final say. Just because things get hard doesn’t mean it’s the end of the story. It might look like it’s all burning down, but that doesn’t mean God won’t save what’s important. Learn to recognize how God’s love, light, and power are still with us today even when it looks bad. Only breakthrough gets to remain when the worst part is over!

What is the most important thing we could be doing? Pastor David explains how simple it is to invite someone to know Jesus. We should be diligent about every person that might be left behind. Between the day we’re born and the day we die there is the stuff in-between, how we live our lives. Just like an Oreo, the middle part is the sweetest part. Life is sweet. Does your life show how sweet knowing Jesus really is? It’s NEVER too late!

A lot of the time, we get tired of waiting on God, waiting for Him to give us a sign. There’s that thing we’re sure that He's forgotten about. But, just because we can’t SEE God moving… that doesn’t mean He’s not already ACTING on our behalf. Behind the scenes, God is moving and shaking, working all things together for our good! Stop trying to make things happen on your own! Be patient! Here’s your SIGN! Your PAST is about to pay for your FUTURE!

Tired of sitting in a barren desert? Ready for those dreams to finally grow? Pastor David teaches that God has a new season ready to bloom. When we hook up our dreams to God’s plans, we don’t just grow, we enter a season of SUPER BLOOM! “Don’t allow what happened, yesterday, to hold you back from today’s opportunities.” The seeds have already been planted. Today is your day for breakthrough!

We all want to get to the next level and reach new heights. Why is it so hard to get there? What are we missing? Pastor David teaches that God wants to cut off some things so new blessings can grow! We can’t do the same things and expect new experiences. Everyone is not equipped to rise to our new level. Learn to look for the improvements God is wanting to bring. What do you need to let go of?

It gets so frustrating when we feel like we’re going backwards. We don’t want to feel like we’ve stopped moving. Pastor Nicole teaches us why taking a pause is vitally important to get to the next level. There is purpose in the pause! God doesn’t want us rushing ahead until we’re ready. The pause is where we ask God what to do next and we are quiet enough to listen. Don’t rush it! Breathe, grow, and see how God will take you higher!

Sometimes, it can be hard to let the small stuff go. Pastor David warns us that holding on to those little annoyances will just lead to anger, unforgiveness, and STRIFE! Hear the story about how Pastor David’s dad accidentally shot himself in the leg! The enemy will try to set us up just to get us upset! But, the servant of the Lord must not strive! Be quick to forgive yourself and the people around you. Rise above the situation because you’re too ANOINTED to be annoyed!
