Ignite City Church Podcast

Our momentary light affliction? Does Paul not get how life really works? Let's take five minutes to look at 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 as we look at what Paul actually meant by this. And if anyone understands how tough life can be, read what he went through in 2 Corinthians 11:24-29.

In this eight-minute podcast (sorry that Brian missed it by three minutes), we look at the topic of Christianity liberty found in 1 Corinthians 10:23-33. What does it look like? What should we do with it? We look at that today.

"Cancel Culture" today doesn't leave room for and chance of a redemptive story. And, honestly, many people who claim to be followers of Jesus act the same way. It shouldn't be this way.  We look at Galatians 1 in this episode as we hear from one of the greatest opponents of the early church who became one of its greatest champions.

Seeing people get saved? Makin disciples? Are these two phrases that mean the same thing when we say them? Let's look at Acts 14:19-22 together as we look at that and a couple of other things.

Stephen was doing incredible things by the power of the Holy Spirit in him. But then opposition came. And that opposition got more to join their  cause through stirring up the crowd.  Christians: we are supposed to be different. We are not allowed to be stirred by an crowd with an agenda but rather we are to be moved forward by faith after the cause that Jesus has set before us. We will...

Christian: are you moving forward in the divisive topics that face us today in faith or defiance? Is there a time to stand in defiance by faith? To submit at other times by that same faith? We look at this together as we talk through Hebrews 11:6.

ETERNAL LIFE? What is it? Is it just the idea that we will live forever in heaven? Take five minutes as we look at John 17:3 today to see what it is that Jesus says about it.

Jesus made this statement to his disciples in John 14:19, "Because I live, you also will live." What did he mean? What's the key to this life? Let's look together at in the episode of Five Minutes.

Brian takes us through a quick look at Matthew 8:5-13 and challenges us to live a life that causes Jesus to marvel.

Are you content with THIRD place? Do you believe that you can be used by God in great ways? Some of the greatest works of God have been done by those who come from third place.

Six things that stood out from Isaiah 44:21-22. Some amazing things to take from these two verses.

What is the key to seeing God do the same kinds of things that we read about in the Bible? We look at that topic as Brian opens up 1 Kings 18.

Here's a five minute reminder to encourage you that God hears you.

How important is God's word? Psalm 19:7-11 says so much about the beauty and the benefits of God's word.

Have you read the Bible? If so, do you continue to do so? Listen for the next five minutes about why it's so important to make time with Jesus in the word a priority for the rest of your life.

Purpose Claremont: we need to humble ourselves and pray for our nation. Here's a reminder and call to prayer from Brian for today.

The Psalms are God's songs reminding us that we can be real and raw before him. Take five minutes as we look through the first five verses of Psalm 22.

Did you know that Christ is for the rag-tag ragamuffins of society? The distressed? Those in debt? The bitter in soul? And that message is AMAZING! Maybe you look at that list and think, "This doesn't describe me." Let me be the first one to welcome into the truth that yes it does. And when you can truly accept that fact, everything changes because then you meet Jesus. Passage: 1 Samuel 22:2

Just some things that stood out from our time in the book of Ruth. Powerful stuff.

Looking at Judges 16:19.

Here's another Five Minutes episode with a little extra at the end. We're looking at Deuteronomy 30 combined with Philippians 1:21, trying to come to grips with what it means to have God be our life. Brian shares for five minutes and then there is another five minutes of listening to his cousin, Megan Marshman, as she describes to those who were in attendance at the memorial service of her husband...

Remember when God wouldn't let Moses go into the Promised Land because he smacked a rock with his staff? Well, there's a little bit more to it than that. Listen to this episode as we dive into Number 20:2-12.

LEVITICUS 26:1-2 + Leviticus 26:11-12 Question: Why do you obey God? What is at the core of the motivation that drives you to obey God? Question: Do you know where God's favorite place to be is?  We look at both of these questions from both of these passages in this episode.

We are all called to be part of what God is doing, but in that we need to remember that he gives us everything necessary to do his part. And as we do what he calls us to do, we do with grateful and generous hearts.

Our response to God when he reveals more of himself to us should be worship, no matter what he reveals about himself.
