The Nature of God: God is Love

The Nature of God: God is Love

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen explores God is Love through the story of a quilt.  She invites you to ponder these questions as you listen: * When pondering the statement, “God is love,” what do you think/realize/understand? * How has God shown you love recently? How do you know that God loves you, personally? * In what ways could we share the message of God’s love with our neighbors and community? * What is one thing you can do this week to share God’s love? Be specific and put this on your calendar * (you are more likely to actually do this if you do!)

Reminding

Welcome to our Monday Morning Podcast!  In this episode, Pastor Matt asks how do you remember things?  Do you use a calendar, sticky notes, strings, or another method?  How do you remember all that God has done for you?

Exploring the Nature of God: God is Our Safe Place

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen asks, "Where is your safe space?"  Is it a physical space, a person, or a memory? How does David’s honesty in pouring out his complaint before God reflect his relationship with God? In what ways can we relate to David’s feelings of loneliness and being “overwhelmed” in our own lives? How can we cultivate the same level of trust in God that David demonstrates? If you were to write your own prayer in the style of Psalm 142, what would you say? Write your prayer this week and share it aloud with God.

David, Saul, and Feeling Alone

Welcome to our Monday Morning podcast!  In this episode, Pastor Matt explores a little bit of the story of David hiding from Saul and Psalm 14.  He asks if you have ever felt alone even though people may have been around you?  Are we honest with God when we feel isolated or abandoned?

The Nature of God: God Knows Everything

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast!  In this sermon, Pastor Matt explores the feelings of God knowing everything.  When you were a kid, did news of what you had been up to get home before you did? Did your parents seem to know everything? Is the idea of God knowing everything comforting or discomforting to you and why? What are the differences between “knowing” and “controlling” everything, and does one or the other frustrate you, give you peace, or something else?
