Pathfinder Church Messages

As a kid, you were great at helping others. It gave you a sense of value and love. Perhaps that’s because you only felt loved if you were meeting someone else’s needs; your own personal needs felt selfish. Now, you fear that you aren’t lovable for who...

You have a natural knack for knowing how anything can be improved and you make the world around you better.

You fight for the little guy and provide refuge for those you love, but it comes at a cost.

Anyone who’s worked hard for something wants to see the reward for their labors. If we’ve built something, we want to see its legacy. And yet so many people who build great things end up bitter and miserable. Why is this?

Human beings are not very good listeners. It’s why counselors can charge so much money just for being good at listening.

Darkness is scary, you feel vulnerable, subject to attack. Even things that bring no fear in the light can cause terror in the darkness.

Most of us want to solve our own problems ourselves. We don’t want to ask others for help or feel beholden to anyone else.

We believe in virtues of fairness. It’s common to say that people should get what they deserve. But does God’s understanding of fairness match ours?

To prepare for the coming of Christ, we need to start with an acknowledgement of our lives lived in darkness and what living that way has cost us.

Success is not an upward climb to the top, the journey of the truly successful always looks radically different than we might expect, which is why we needlessly fear failure rather than embracing it.
