Faith Church Audio Podcast

God doesn’t want us to live a good life. He wants us to live an excellent life. Pastor Nicole teaches us how to live beyond good enough. Living good enough is the arch nemesis of living our best life! “God wants us to rise to the top because it reflects who He is.” He’s called us to excel! Take that common circumstance and Best It! Don’t live just following the crowd. It’s time to be the Best!

Did you know, you have a LIFE PRESERVER in your hands? It’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Pastor David teaches us how to put our faith on display and throw out the “rope of hope” to people who are struggling. Learn how to reach out and show God’s LOVE to people who are lost. God will do amazing things through us when we make it our mission to go after THE ONE.

Do we, actually, SEE the hurting people that we walk past, daily? Pastor David begs us to stop looking at ourselves and develop a HEART to HELP. God doesn’t want us to be cold and hardened to the suffering in the world. He wants us to be His Hands and Feet. Compassion is a feeling. Don’t just sit there…jump up and DO SOMETHING! When we trust God to give us a heart for others, we will see what compassion can do!

Pastor Nicole teaches us how to recognize when our happiness shifts. We only want to be content when life is the way we want it. But God wants us to be happy even when we aren't where we think we should be. Our happiness shouldn’t shift like a tent blowing around from place to place. We need to stay planted where God has us now and get excited about all that’s around us. Don’t get stuck in the comparison game. True contentment is being able to enjoy everything we already have.

What do we do when everything doesn’t work the way we expected? Pastor David teaches how to look for the joy in all situations and become the people we’re meant to be. It doesn’t always work out the way we think it should, but with God, it always works out. We have no idea what God is going to do. Don’t look back at what didn’t happen. Look ahead. LOOK AGAIN, and let God amaze you.

God wants us to be inappropriate. It’s true! Pastor Nicole shows us how God chooses people who are willing to do the unexpected, to go against what the world tells us to do. Learn how to counter our culture, have an impact for God, and do what only we can do. We can’t be afraid to stand out. The world doesn’t need more of what it already has. It needs what we don’t think we should show. So go ahead! Be an original! Be inappropriate!

The greatest show you’ll ever see is the balancing act of your life. Pastor David teaches how to keep our focus and stay on life’s tightrope. “Proper alignment leads to proper assignment.” The closer we get to Jesus, the easier it is to stay on course. How’s your balance?

When the dream gets hard, are we going to give up or RISE up? Pastor Nicole teaches us what to do when the dream gets tough. God doesn’t want us to quit on our dreams. He wants us to THANK Him in the circumstances we don’t like. God is already ahead of the trouble in front of us. We don’t realize it, but we weren’t inconvenienced; He REPOSITIONED us. Don’t give up on the dream. Trust God and dream A MILLION DREAMS.

Sometimes life can seem hopeless, like we’re powerless to change anything. Pastor Nicole encourages us not to lose hope. If we lose hope, our lives stop. Don’t expect the worst out of everything. We may not know it, but we’re walking right by our blessings! Nothing is impossible with God. We just have to stand up and put our hope in Him. Take the DARE and choose to HOPE, because HOPE IS ALIVE.

When life seems DARK and HOPELESS, God is right there beside us, even when we don’t realize it. Pastor David advises us to surround ourselves with positive people who will encourage us to keep our “switch of FAITH” turned on!” God doesn’t usually answer prayers the way we want or on our timeline. Stop worrying about it. He already has something BETTER in mind. You’ll never be alone! This problem will come to pass. Today, the tomb is empty...and our HOPE IS ALIVE!
