National Community Church Audio Podcast

There is a reason that the self-help industry continues to grow each year. It is because we have an interest in growing and getting better. But according to King Solomon, the primary thing we should be trying to gain is understanding. In our attempts to get wisdom and understanding we are really accumulating information. But what God desires for us is to get wisdom. It is wisdom that is the posture required for a good life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We live in a culture that values fifteen minutes of fame more than a lifetime of hard-earned, hard-learned wisdom. The book of Proverbs sets the record straight: get wisdom. How? There are a hundred ways, but we explore three of them in this podcast. One, listen to your life. Two, surround yourself with the right people. Three, ask God for supernatural wisdom. And while you’re at it: never lose a holy curiosity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Many of us have had an experience or a revelation of God, whether through a church, in relationship, or out in nature. But most of us get discouraged when we don’t know where to go after that experience. So we allow it to be an isolated experience instead of seeking further, pressing into prayer, and seeking a fuller vision, revelation, and healing from the Great Healer. Today, we’ll talk about the progression of seeking healing that can come through Christ. Tucked away in Mark 8 is a strange and fascinating story about a blind man who received sight from Jesus. The story teaches us a progression of healing. It took three unique touches. The first was preparation, the second brought sight, but the third touch brought vision. May the Lord open our eyes and grant us faith as we press in to grasp vision and healing from him in the areas of pain, hurt, trouble, and trial. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One of our sacred responsibilities, one of our prophetic privileges is NAMING RIGHTS. When God wants to catalyze change, He starts with names. There is power in naming things. It had the power to alter identities, the power of altering destinies. When God puts His name on us, it’s game on! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Do we live like we believe that? He has raised us to a new standard of living, given us a new framework for seeing, and invited us into a new way of relating to God and to one another. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In his letter to the Christians in the province of Galatia, Paul is encouraging them to not live according to their flesh but by the Spirit. The evidence of the Spirit in our lives looks like the fruit of the Spirit. And we can only see that evidence if we walk with and are led by the Spirit. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Without the Holy Spirit, we’re ordinary in every way. With the Holy Spirit, all things all possible. His anointing is the X Factor—it helps us do what we do better than we can do it!

Prophesy is declaring what will happen in the future. You can prophesy fear. You can prophesy doubt. You can prophesy pain. Or, you can prophesy your praise! Whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pride. Whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pain. Worship is not just thanking God for what He has already done. By faith, worship is declaring what God can do, what God will do! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

All of us experience shame. None of us talk about shame. It’s a word that we don’t even like to say. Shame keeps us from being honest about our struggles, about our sins, about our hurts, about our abuse. And for many of us, it has become a debilitating factor that has hijacked our identity and halted us from reaching our God-given potential. Shame can be what you did, it can be what you didn’t do, it can be what someone did to you. So we approach this conversation asking for God’s grace and anointing. Throughout scriptures, we see a common progression in shame. It starts with secrecy, which leads to isolation, which breeds insecurity. But with courage, we’ll talk about how to peel back the layers of shame by talking through the antidote to each category. Don’t accept the shame that you have lived with for far too long. God has freedom in store for you. Join us in this journey as we seek God in our shame. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
