Flatirons Community Church Audio Podcast

If we've rooted our lives in Jesus, we WILL grow. But it doesne't always feel like we’re growing. Why is that?

Jesus taught that, just like a good tree, what a person’s life is rooted in is revealed by the fruit that they produce.

Jesus is a good king who leveraged his strength and intentionally pointed his anger to provide and protect those he came to seek and save.

Jesus is always giving us what we need, the problem is we don't always know we need it.

Following the example of what Jesus did, Flatirons must remember that lives begin to change AFTER a person is accepted, friendship is offered and forgiveness is extended. It's Truth AND Grace.

Most of the time, we want Jesus to deal with the pain and urgency of the latest external crisis in our circumstances rather than address what might be broken on the inside of us. What if Jesus wants to deal with both?

We often create a picture in our mind of how Jesus should resolve the circumstances of our lives but Jesus has this tendency of doing things in unexpected ways at unexpected times.

God gives us markers to remind us that what was true about God in the past is and will be true moving into the future. So don’t be afraid. Go.

Begin training right now so that you can do in the future what you cannot currently do by direct effort.

You have been uniquely, strategically and specifically positioned by God to have a certain level of influence in someone's life.

It is time to get strategic and go to war FOR Jesus and FOR our friends and take back both ground and people that Satan has stolen who don't belong to him.

If we claim to be under the authority of Jesus, our Lord and Commander, then we must strategically engage in His mission.

If something is true, then it is true for all people at all times in all circumstances or it isn't really true at all.

Often out of very good motives we fall into the trap of trying to do the one thing we have no ability to do in the lives of our children.

When things get difficult and painful often our first reaction is to isolate ourselves. This is true in life, and especially in parenting.

When we live out of our identity as God's children, we don't try to get our identity from our children.

When you are facing something that you don't know how to fix, change or survive, what needs to happen for you to make it to the "finish line"?

Why is it that as soon as we decide to follow a new strategy, the road gets rougher before it gets better?

What is your strategy to get from where you are to where you say you want to be?

When the party is over and there is nothing left to look forward to except cleaning up it's easy to find yourself in a funk. The new year can feel much like that for many of us. What does the Bible tell us to do when we find ourselves somewhere between "unexplainable funk" and flat out depressed?

Christmas is a holiday full of style, but all the style is meant to point to the substance which is Jesus.

At some point in everyone's journey, their life will intersect God’s truth and we will have to choose if we are going to continue our current life or turn our life in God's direction.

A tree that has been chopped down no longer has hope of bearing fruit. Yet God brings life from dead places.

God uses the metaphor of a tree and a piece of red thread as one of his most common pictures of what He has done for us through Jesus.

Many times we mistakenly confuse the absence or avoidance of conflict as being the same thing as "peace."
