We brought the brotherly banter to this week's going Deeper Podcast. Join Dan and Pastor Tom as they break down our church mission to love like Jesus.

Love. Live. Lead. | Part 2 Loving Like Jesus This week, we focused on the first element of our Mission, to Love like Jesus. In Mark 12:28-31, Jesus teaches us how we should love. One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” 29 “The most important one,” answered Je...

Today we are going deeper on this past weekend’s sermon titled, “Finding Rest and restoration in Jesus” with an emphasis on John 4:3-42. Today we are going deeper on the concept of find rest and restoration for our soul in Jesus. To help me with this I have with me on the show Pastor Mark Elliot.

Finding Rest and Restoration in Jesus (John 4:3-42) 1. Through powerful imagery and profound theological insights, John reveals the nature of Jesus as the Son of God, the light of the world, the bread of life, and the hope of Israel. The Gospel of John has been called an, “intimate gospel,” for the way that Jesus personally interacts with others. The main point of the weekend’s message was using r...

Today we are going deeper on this past weekend's sermon titled, confession. The primary emphasis of pastor Tom's sermon came to its crescendo in Psalm 51 when the prophet Nathan came to David after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Today's topic discussion will be going deeper on the concept of obedience to God and the necessary need for reaching for restoration rather than rea...

Confession (Psalm 51) This week we focused on Psalm 51, David’s confession after he committed adultery and murder. Before David sinned and eventually confessed, he seemed rather disengaged. 2 Samuel 11:1 - In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army… But David remained in Jerusalem. David was the king. He should’ve been...

Good Work This week we studied the parable of the two sons. Jesus tells this parable in the Temple courts the day after his triumphal entry. After being treated as a king upon his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus cleansed the Temple. The religious leaders were very upset with Jesus and demanded to know by what authority He cleansed the Temple. Jesus responds with a question about John the Baptist and t...

This week we studied Psalm 142 and discussed following David’s example when we are overwhelmed. Some define being overwhelmed as feeling overcome by an unruly and intense emotion that feels too challenging to manage and control. When we become overwhelmed, it can be difficult to think and act rationally, or even function. Have you ever felt overwhelmed?

In our discussion of fathers on Father’s Day, we studied several verses and ideas from the book of Hebrews. Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.

Have you ever thought about your natural abilities becoming spiritual gifts that can be used for the Kingdom of God? Does every believer have a spiritual gift? If so, why do we have them and how do we identify them and use them to help others get to know Jesus? We're talking all things spiritual gifts in today's Going Deeper episode with John-Paul and Pastor Tom.

Spiritual Gifts | Romans 12:3-8 Peter outlines the purpose of Spiritual Gifts in 1 Peter 4:10 where he writes, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This verse prompted Pastor Tom to say Christians are given spiritual gifts to serve each other and accomplish God’s will. They are not to be used selfishly o...

But, as believers trust in God, their faith will bring joy and peace to their hearts.” Take time to share h...
