Episode How to Use Power Biblically: Ephesians 5 & 6 Cover

Beschreibung

God designed power to flow outward, lifting others rather than securing ourselves. In this message, we redefine power as influence, something every person carries in every relationship, shaping people and environments through words, presence and choices. From the Garden, where humanity was free to help others flourish, to the distortion of power through sin and insecurity, this teaching traces how God’s original design was lost and how it is restored through Christ. In Ephesians 5, we see Paul challenge cultural norms by calling for mutual submission in the home, where husbands love sacrificially, families honor one another and authority is expressed through service. This sermon invites believers to be filled with the Spirit, to use their influence as an act of worship, to steward the spaces God has given them and to pursue forgiveness and reconciliation so that their lives create environments where others can truly flourish.

Episode The Need for Wisdom: Proverbs Pt.1 Cover

The Need for Wisdom: Proverbs Pt.1

Pastor Mick Murray opened our summer series through Proverbs, asking the question, "Where are we spurning wisdom today that might lead to burning the house down in the future?" Drawing from Proverbs 1:1-7, he defined wisdom as hearing God's Word and walking in His ways, a definition that finds its fullest expression in Jesus Christ, whom Paul calls "the wisdom of God." He unpacks what wisdom is, why we need it and how we get it. As followers of Jesus, we are commissioned to bring order out of chaos in our homes, relationships and communities, and walking in God's ways tends to produce righteousness, justice and equity. He also describes how we gain wisdom through three postures: making space to hear God through His Word and Spirit, humbly seeking guidance from trusted people who bear godly fruit and cultivating the fear of the Lord.
