Bryan Loritts Podcast

This message was originally given at The Summit Church on July 25, 2024 as part of a series on Hebrews 11.

Message originally given July 14, 2024 at One Community Church in Plano, Texas.

Exploring the stories of Deborah and Jael in Judges 4, highlighting themes of leadership. Discussing the power of receiving grace through George Wilson's story. Emphasizing the importance of embracing God's grace for personal growth. Delving into risky obedience and unexpected deliverance in the book of Judges. Exploring the transformative influence of God's grace in using flawed individuals for His plans.

Have you ever felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness, whether regarding your career, marriage, or simply life in general? In this week's message from Hebrews 11, Pastor Bryan highlights this experience in the life of Sarah, a woman whose barrenness led her to take matters into her own hands. But what Sarah learned was that her only hope of seeing the promise fulfilled was by living a life of complete dependence on God, trusting that he would do it. This principle still holds true for us today, as we must resist the temptation to rely on ourselves and instead, surrender in faith to a trustworthy God.

While the issues at the front and center of American politics in 2024 are different from those that the religious leaders highlighted during Jesus' day, they certainly aren't any less contentious. In this week's message from Mark 12, Pastor Bryan shows us how Jesus navigated stormy political waters with grace—and how we can do the same. When we recognize that it should be our faith that drives our politics (and not the other way around), we can then approach the upcoming election season in a way that honors both God and other people.
