Pathfinder Church Messages

Gideon was chronically fearful and timid. He fought God at every point through his story. Ironically, God used him for some incredible war-victories showing us that courage is believing God when he calls us by names we would never ascribe to ourselves.

Sometimes even though you don’t aspire to lead, there’s a vacuum that requires you to courageously step in anyway. From Deborah we learn that courage is trusting God to use the available (the willing) no matter their gifts or position.

Ehud, the “left-handed” warrior from a “right-handed tribe” was not like the rest of his tribesmen. But he shows us that courage is trusting God to leverage your uniqueness, instead of trying to fit in.

We believe that we must be perfect to be loved, valued, and accepted. The truth is that God loves us as we are, we’re accepted on account of Christ, and people will value us when we’re real and transparent in our imperfections.

Many of us believe the lie that our pasts define us and that our futures are tainted by our former mistakes. The truth is that God entrusts us with a new day to make the best decisions we can, to fail, to experience his grace, to learn and to start over.

The lie of self-reliance keeps us both prideful of our successes as well as needlessly burdened by life’s challenges. God’s truth is that not only is he always with us, but he’s given us one another to thrive, not just survive.

We all hope to be happy in life but when we try to pursue happiness for happiness’s sake, we crash and burn. Happiness is found in pursuing Jesus and aspiring to the life that God has put before us.

The final part of our model is to encourage/equip Christians to live out their lives intentionally during the week. For us, that means focusing on the 1.1.15.6 catalysts so that the best ministry happens outside of “church.” Website | https://pathfinderstl.org Online Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/give Podcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcasts Facebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstl...

The role of the corporate church gets confused with the role of individual Christians.

The world has changed in a lot of ways, but the biggest shift is that we’re now living in a post-Christian world.
