OCC Deeper Well

This week, Dan addressed the statement, "If I have enough faith God will answer my prayer." Dan, Brian, and Kortnie discuss the importance of prayer and if God is sovereign why pray?

In this week's episode Brian, Dan, and Kortnie unpack the first sermon in our new series called "Cray Cray." We unpack everyday Christian phrases and prove that sometimes they are not so theologically sound. This week it is all about God not giving us more than we can handle. We cover a lot of ground including Valentine's Day, suffering, a man born blind and our favorite ice cream. It's a fun one!

In this podcast we cover our last two and final sermons in our series, Who Are You. We cover some interested subjects of creation, the fall of man, and what it means to be a child of God.

In this week's episode of A Deeper Well, we talk about running the race set before us and finding joy in the journey. The Christian's life in many ways resembles a race. This is why Paul uses this as an example to the Philippians. We talk further on this subject and much more.

We welcome, as a special guest, the head of our mission department, Bre Katauskas to the podcast this week to discuss her vision for missions. We all share a little of our own stories about missions and the vision for the future of missions for OCC. We hope you enjoy!

This week, Brian, Kortnie, and Dan discuss the elements of God's grace and forgiveness in chapter 2 of the book of Jonah. How does Jonah's disobedience translate to our unwillingness to do what God is telling us to do today? How is the impact of forgiving or receiving forgiveness effected in the light of the Father's forgiveness of our sin and total depravity? We discuss these topics and more in t...

Most of us grew up learning about the man who was swallowed by a whale and lived in its belly for three days. In the illustrations of the story, the whale takes front and center, capturing the imaginations of its audience through-out history. Debates have echoed through the ages, is this a historical event or a "whale" of a tall tale? In this new three-week series, Dan dives deeper than the imager...

Dan, Brian, and Kortnie discuss what it looks like to "make fishers of men." When it comes to evangelism, people feel a lot of nerves. But there has been a real misconception of what evangelism even is. In this episode, we go a bit deeper into the subject of evangelism and how it relates to discipleship.

In this episode of A Deeper Well, Kortnie Heying and Pastor Dan Lacich discuss his recent sermon. When Jesus says, "follow me and I will make you fishers of men" what does He mean by, "follow?" Dan and Kortnie discuss this and more in this week's episode.

In this latest episode of A Deeper Well, we are discussing the first sermon in a three-part series called, Discipleshift. When Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John in Matthew 4:17-22 to follow Him and become fishers of men. What does it mean to follow Jesus? How do we go from being observers of Jesus to participants?

This episode we answer these questions: 1. When a Christian dies, does his/her soul go to heaven immediately, as I have been led to believe my entire life, or when we die are we in a holding pattern until Jesus returns? And if we are in a holding pattern, are we conscious? What about those bodies that have been cremated? I want to believe that those who have gone before me are in Paradise with Jes...

This episode is a special edition where we get to hear Kortnie Heying story! Enjoy! Here are the lyrics to her song. It was dark and cold and lonely It was never enough and plenty It was lonely and crowded around It was floating the sky and dragging the ground My eyes were closed but open My mind was still and in motion My heart pumping with the blood of another Running through my vein the life of...

This week we continue our Ask a Pastor series. The questions we cover are: 1. What is the Holy Spirit's role in our lives? 2. Why does it seem that the church is all about people getting married? What about those of us who are single? Singleness is not a problem to fix, right? 3. What about Sabbath rest? What does it look like to have a day of rest each week? Resources: Holy Spirit // Forgotten Go...

This week we look at some questions surrounding salvation and discipleship. We throw a bonus question in about moral law towards the end. Why does it seem that some people can live a life of deep sin (murder, stealing, etc), yet at the end of their life they can ask for forgiveness and end up in heaven? How should I treat a Christian that has been "following" Jesus for over 20 years, but they do n...

How do we balance emotions and logic in the corporate worship gathering? Is one more important than the other? How do we avoid manipulating people in the worship gathering? Why do Christians gather on Sundays and consider this day the Sabbath as opposed to Saturdays? How are the preaching topics chosen at OCC? Have a question? Submit it to info@oviedocity.church

In this episode, we discuss Sunday's sermon on the topic of sacrifice. Going deeper from the Old Testament to the New we unpack the ways in which surrender is a requirement of genuine sacrifice and how a personal relationship with Jesus facilitates surrender. We hope you enjoy!

Does science disprove the Bible? Or does science prove the Bible? We talk this week about these questions and more!
