OCC Podcast

God is glorified by your service, faith in His Word, hope in Him, and a clear conscience.

Ep. #87—Wesley and Brenton Ruin another midpoint! The Prodigal Son is a beautiful story, and they crack open their Bible and work through it, talking about the goodness of God all the way through and, obviously, have some laughs in the process. Enjoy!

Turns out, if you don't tell the whole story it makes a huge difference!

Ep. #86—This week, James and Brenton discuss why everyone wanted to kill Paul, how to practically abide in God rather than do it yourself, redos, being taught amongst the thorns, seeing progress in sanctification, and, of course, a bunch of other things. Enjoy!

Paul had to die to himself and stop doing things his way and do them His way.

Ep. #85—James and Wesley work through the sermon "Paul was misunderstood Pt. 2" from Acts 21:27-22:29 as they continue to discuss God calling believers to the hard places and specifically what our hearts will be during those trials. They discuss just what on Earth is going on in this passage, Paul's story, and the languages of the day! Enjoy!

This is a continuation of last week's message. The crowds and the centurions misunderstood Paul's mission, purpose, and even who he was.

Ep. #84 - Forrest and James work through the sermon "Paul was misunderstood" and discuss God calling us to the hard places and whether or not we will obey and follow. They also discuss themes of prophets versus pastors, the human side of the Apostle Paul, thorns in our side, and asking for signs from God. Enjoy!

Ep. #83 - Pastor Andrew and Pastor James talk through the crazy, fun, and amazing Easter Weekend events as well as talk through Romans 6:1-11 and the incredible joy of being new in Christ because of the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Enjoy!  

Easter is a time of celebration for the work of Christ in us and for us. It is also a time of invitation for anyone who does not know Him to place their faith in Him.

Ep. #82 - James and Brenton discuss the Palm Sunday message "No Filter" and take a trip down memory lane as to how they both came to see the importance of Holy Week. There are a few questions from the congregation, the use of awkward preaching styles, how we respond correctly at Easter, and of course the 'Bunny Cake' tradition. Enjoy!

The crowds on that first Palm Sunday shouted three things that speak to how we should worship God and live out our faith.

Ep. #81 - James and Wesley dive into week 2 of our "Misunderstood" series and discuss a wide range of topics and questions regarding prophets, prophecies, and other titles in the Bible, the use of Christian speak, Holy Spirit-led unanimity, 'easy believe-ism', and a look ahead to the Easter season at OCC. Hope you enjoy it!

Paul gives some applications in order to protect the church from theological heresies

Ep. #80 - Forrest and James dive into the start of our new series through the book of Acts MISUNDERSTOOD and talk through James' sermon titled 'Our 'wake-up call.' They talk through some things left unsaid, the Sabbath, God's provision, trusting God, and how to stay in the faith and run the race well. Enjoy!

Do we need a wake-up call to live and follow Christ?

Ep. #79 - Pastor James and Pastor Andrew discuss last week's sermon based on Acts 19:21-41. During the episode, the pastors explore a variety of topics including whether or not Demetrius was saved, the importance of walking the talk, standing up for truth, and how to love both believers and non-believers well. Enjoy!

Persecution often strengthens God's church in its growth despite opposition.

Ep. #78 - On this episode, Wesley and Brenton talk through the service that ruined the story of the Roman Centurion and the word 'Faith'. They discuss the passages they skipped in Matthew and why, what word did they actually ruin, the benefits of a family service, and what to expect for the next family service, and of course discuss how Snoop Dogg helped make this service happen. Enjoy!

Do we use the word 'Fatih' correctly? Wesley and Brenton work through the story of the Roman Centurion and see what faith in action truly looks like.

Ep. #77 - In this episode, Pastors Wes and Andrew talk through Andrew's sermon from last week which was out of Acts 19:1-20. They discussed many topics including shoutouts from youth students, what the Gospel is, the indwelling of the holy spirit, implications in the spiritual world, and give a glimpse of next week's service. Enjoy!

We need to be ready to be used by God and join Him where He is at work

Ep. #76 - Forrest and James talk through "In process" and how we are wonderful yet-to-be finished works of God. They also talk about Paul getting a haircut, changed lives, Dr. Luke's writing particulars, and a few other questions submitted by you guys! Enjoy!

God is not finished with us yet.
