Pathfinder Church Messages

We know that relationships are important but few of us have the intentionality to actually pursue them. Life gets busy, we doubt ourselves, we doubt the long term payoff, we don’t want to bother with the complications that relationships create and so...

Mark Twain once said that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. God has an awesome plan for your story, even the painful parts. If we want to be truly free we need to capture a vision of how...

Who are you? It’s an important question to ask ourselves. And how we answer that question determines whether we are living a free life or not. Many of us have our identity defined by a negative label (failures and mistakes) others put too much stock...

The journey to freedom must go through the door of forgiveness. Even though we go through life clenching our fists and crying out for justice for life’s unfairness and pain, true forgiveness means giving up our right to hurt others that have hurt us...

Living as a victim is easy. Living in freedom means I take personal responsibility for both the good and bad parts of my life both past and present. I don’t have to be afraid of admitting fault or making amends when I’ve wronged someone. When I can...

We live in a fast-paced noisy world. Often the speed of life keeps us form hearing the voice of God, especially when it comes to our pain and brokenness. Distraction and escapism keep us from dealing with the things that keep us in bondage. If we want...

Conflict isn’t bad, every family experiences conflict (from fighting parents to sibling rivalry). Many families also experience greater trauma that causes deep rifts. Ideal families avoid long standing feuds by learning to deal with conflict and hurt...

God calls us to be deeply committed to the members of our families through thick and thin and for all of our lives. It doesn’t always make sense and it’s never easy, but it makes the family powerful.

Families that thrive learn how not only to share the work but to balance power, to submit to one another, and to do so by choice. Paul’s teaching on family was revolutionary in his day and still is, if we take it seriously.

Families are the building blocks of society but what made God decide that putting together a bunch of different personalities, ages, and hormone levels under a single roof is a good idea? Beyond biological reproduction, what is the purpose of a family...

Being “not of the world” brings to mind many different, peculiar behaviors that Christians embody (a.k.a “piety”), some of which are Scriptural and some that aren’t. As Jesus coined this phrase, however, his focus was less on our behavior and more on...

We know we’re all sinners, but some sinners are way worse than others. So bad that they are totally excluded from the possibility of salvation, right? Not only do we selectively point to only some of the people the Bible names as wrongdoers but we...

We have an obsession with dividing ourselves up into categories of immature and mature. “Mature” people even demand “more meat” from their churches and pastors. But true maturity isn’t demanding and it’s not all about “knowing.” Website | https://pathfinderstl.org Online Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/give Podcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcasts Facebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinder...

Christians are supposed to hate money, be poor, right? No! It’s not money, it’s the LOVE of money that is the problem. Whew, that’s good news, who would possibly love money? We all do! But by giving it away, we break its hold over us.

Although this is a statement of comfort, we often think about God’s “plans” (or his “will”) in a way that is very specific and restrictive—even fatalistic. God’s will is much more open than most of us think.

To most, prayer is seen as a Christian duty not as a tool that God has entrusted to us to enlist his power to change our circumstances.

We often think that challenges, stressors, and temptations are the result of the tangible things in life but perhaps there’s more going on than meets the eye.

They’re known as “ministering spirits” and according to Scripture they’re very real, intervening on our behalf even though we are usually unaware.

Miracles, by definition, are acts that stand in defiance of the natural world. Jesus did miracles, but after his resurrection, supernatural healings (and other miracles) start happening through his followers!

Throughout time certain people have been given extraordinary gifts for God’s purposes. On the day called Pentecost, the Spirit of God is poured out on all Jesus-followers, giving supernatural gifts indiscriminately to them.

Sometimes while we’re badgering God for answers, God speaks a message calling for our silence. There’s something God wants us to hear, even in the silence.

Sometimes when life is tough God doesn’t come in and solve our problems, instead he encourages us to keep going down a hard road.

Sometimes God speaks to redirect us, to burden us, or to give us a conviction so that we’re moved to new action on his behalf.

One of the most difficult words to hear is a word of rebuke. Perhaps that’s why God almost always has to speak them through another person. Yet these kinds of messages are necessary for our correction and our return to wholeness.
