Finding God in the Tension

Finding God in the Tension

#Tension #CalebThomas #Lakeland Are you living in the tension of your faith? In this life-changing message, Pastor Caleb explores "The Power of And" and why Jesus calls us to a maturity that embraces both Spirit and Truth. Drawing from the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, Pastor Caleb breaks down why God isn't looking for a specific place or format for worship—like pews vs. theater seats or hymnals vs. Spotify—but a specific heart posture. In this message, you’ll discover: - The definition of Truth: Objective, anchored in God’s Word, and unchanging regardless of our feelings. - The definition of Spirit: A heart that is alive and engaged, moving beyond mere ritual into a spirit-dependent life. - The "Grow Up" Framework: Why truth alone makes you "dry up," spirit alone makes you "blow up," but the two together help you "grow up" into maturity. True worship is not about picking a lane; it is about a heart that is alive in a life that is anchored. God is craving relationship with you for His glory and your ultimate good. Learn how to stop fighting the tension and start growing in it.

Raw Questions, Real Peace: Navigating a World Gone Crazy

Are you tired of looking for answers in all the wrong places? In this powerful message, Pastor Scott Thomas challenges us to stop seeking "real intelligence in artificial places" and to stop asking for life advice from those making the same mistakes we are. In this video, you will learn: - Strength in Imperfection: How a perfect God relates to imperfect people and makes His victory your own. - The Lamp vs. The Light: Understanding how God provides the "lamp" for the immediate step in front of you while holding the "light" for your future destination. - Aligning Your Actions: Why your immediate choices must align with the future you want to have. - Trusting the Process: A moving story about Malachi learning to swim without a life vest, illustrating how we must often push past our "I can't" to see what God can do. God is all that you need Him to be and more—providing more peace and strength than you could ever own. It’s time to bring your raw, real questions to the Word and find out how to respond to a world gone crazy. ------------------------------------ Free Life Chapel is here to help others discover and live the Free Life in Christ!
