Episode 469: Unshakeable Hope It's Written in His Promises

Tired of hope that crumbles when promises are broken by fallible people or shifting circumstances? What if there's a source of hope that NEVER fails? In "Unshakeable Hope: It's Written in His Promises" (Hope Series: Part 2), Pastor Gerold illuminates why God's promises provide a rock-solid foundation for your life. Unlike human promises, limited by our flawed nature and ability (Romans 3:23), God is both completely FAITHFUL to His Word (Hebrews 10:23, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Numbers 23:19) and all-POWERFUL to bring His declarations to pass (Philippians 1:6). Pastor Gerold explores diverse promises for His presence (Hebrews 13:5), provision (Philippians 4:19), strength (Isaiah 40:31), forgiveness (1 John 1:9), and your future. Learn practical steps to find, remember, and meditate on these divine assurances to experience God's unshakeable hope, even when life feels uncertain.

Episode 468: Beyond Feelings - Finding Solid Hope in God's Unfailing Love

Feeling unseen, alone, or that hope is just a distant dream? What if solid hope isn't found in your feelings, but in a love that never fails?  In "Beyond Feelings: Finding Solid Hope in God's Unfailing Love" (Hope Series: Part 1), Pastor Gerold explores the first essential foundation for lasting hope. Discover, like Jeremiah in Lamentations 3:21-23, how consciously remembering God's character—His unfailing love, mercies, and compassions—can spark hope even when circumstances seem bleak. Pastor Gerold dives into the nature of God's agape love: unconditional, sacrificial, and powerfully demonstrated through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:8, 1 John 4:9-10, John 3:16). Learn why this divine love, not your performance or situation, is your true value and the anchor for your soul (1 John 4:16). This love doesn't just comfort; it has the power to transform!

Episode 467: From Regret to Redemption - Living Forward in Faith

Don't let regret keep you stuck in a "retrospective maze"! In this concluding episode (Part 3) of the series, Pastor Gerold (Grace Waves Podcast) provides the hopeful path forward. Building on godly sorrow and repentance (metanoia), learn three vital actions to redeem regret: 1. Find Meaning: Understand how God's sovereignty (Romans 8:28) works even through our failures and mistakes for ultimate good. 2. Find Forgiveness: Release crippling guilt by bringing your regrets to the Cross of Jesus. 3. Leave the Past Behind: Be inspired by Philippians 3:13-14 to forget what lies behind and press towards God's future, without dishonoring the past but refusing to be bound by it. Pastor Gerold explains how God takes our deepest regrets and uses them to produce new life and hope. Your past doesn't define your future!

Episode 466: A Tale of Two Sorrows When Regret Can Redeem

What separates the regret that crushes (like Judas') from the sorrow that leads to life (like Peter's)? In Part 2 of 'Regret: Facing Our Past with Faith,' Pastor Gerold unpacks the powerful teaching of 2 Corinthians 7:8-10. Explore the critical difference between "Worldly Sorrow" – focused on self, consequences, fueled by pride, leading to spiritual death – and "Godly Sorrow" – seeing our actions from God's perspective, embracing humility, taking responsibility, and leading towards genuine repentance (metanoia) and restoration.  If regret feels like a dead end, this episode reveals the turning point.  Like this video and subscribe so you don't miss Part 3, where we discuss how regret can truly be redeemed! #regret   #GodlySorrow #WorldlySorrow #Theology #ChristianPodcast #GraceWavesPodcast #2Corinthians7 #Repentance #JudasVsPeter #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Sermon Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2313533/open_sms] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2313533/support] What is Grace Waves?
