Sunday’s Sermon is on our YouTube channel.
The times they are a-changing.
Dylan said that in the 60’s. But if he could have looked a half-century into the future, he might have waited to release that song.
How do you live well in times of uncertainty?
Perhaps the best idea would be to look at Jesus.
Yeah – that’s definitely the best thought you could have.
In this podcast, Pastor Steve shows how God actually establishes patterns for us to follow that help us live well – regardless of the times.

Most Christians want to feel like they are in tune with God. Whether or not you attend church, read your Bible, or spend much time in prayer, you probably feel like, “Meh – God and I are okay.”
Then something happens.
Pain comes along. It doesn’t have to be big.
Even the pain of an unexpected setback can alert you to the reality that you’re not as in tune with God as you thought you were.
In this podcast, Pastor Steve offers biblical counsel on how to be in tune with God.

Fear…
If there is one thing that keeps you from moving forward in you life, it’s probably fear.
It acts as a lid, holding you down. Maybe as the most effective of lids.
When you look around at our world, do you ever feel afraid?

Hypocrisy — it shows up in a lot of different forms.
There’s the good old double-standard:
Dad – why do YOU get seconds on ice-cream and we don’t!!!
There’s the issue of pretending, where you say,
Well – I never do that.
And then you get caught doing…that!
And then there’s the issue of moral duplicity,
where you pretend you’re doing something for one reason, but you’re really doing for another, self-serving reason.
What we may or may not realize is that hypocrisy is a lid — something that holds us down and prevents us from being who God wants us to become.
This podcast helps us identify hypocrisy in our own lives and deal with it from the counsel of Jesus in Matthew 6.

Stagnant water is dangerous water.
Stagnant sewer water can expose you to bacteria and parasites that have a negative impact the health of you and your family.
“Clean” stagnant water doesn’t stay clean long, attracting animals and insects that carry dangerous diseases.
Any stagnant water can produce mold and mildew within 24-48 hours
Stagnancy. It’s bad for water and it’s bad for people.
It’s especially bad in your spiritual life.
Dealing with stagnancy (complacency) may require, among other things, a reset.
This podcast addresses stagnancy — the lid of complacency — in our lives, helping us remove it.
