Point Loma Church Podcast

Today, Pastor Karla preaches from Job 23 in which Job encounters the silence of God. At times in our own lives finding God's presence feels impossible. Our assumptions about God often play a role in this absence.

Job's circumstances cause him to cry out to God for relief. Lament can be a faithful response to our life struggles.

We are taking a break from our study of the Book of Acts, and for the season of Lent, we are partaking on a journey into the Book of Job. This week, pastor Karla introduces us to the person of Job, and the circumstances of his life:  "As children, most of us are taught right from wrong. Most children learn the difference between right and wrong by the results of their behavior. If you do something...

This week, Pastor Karla asks, "How do you change the world?" In exploring today's passage, we see how small actions applied at the right time in the right place can have cataclysmic effects on the people and world around us.

Events happen to us all the time that are meant for transformation. Living into the results of change, is the story yet to be written.

This week, we are taking a look at Acts 8:26-39. Pastor Karla delves into the story of Phillip's encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch.  Sometimes it may feel like we carry the world on our shoulders, but God is the one with the weight, and he desires us to help him lighten the load.

This week, Pastor Karla examines the story of the stoning of Stephen, and how the terrible events that happen in our lives are not beyond God's control and purpose. 

This week, Pastor Chris looks at an odd and hard to understand passage in the book of Acts - Acts 5:1-11. A commitment to a life given to God comes with great responsibility. As we live in response to God's deep and intimate love for us our behavior has consequences – some good, some catastrophic.

This week's story comes from Acts 4. Pastor Karla talk about how once we are connected to God's love through the Holy Spirit there is nothing we can't do. God gives us power to stand firm and release our lives.   NOTE: The recording starts in the middle of the reading of the passage. None of the sermon content is missed. 

This week, Pastor Karla opens up Acts 3:1-10. The movement of the Way began through touch and gaze, we see that most clearly in this story of Peter and the crippled beggar.

We continue our series in the book of Acts. This week, Pastor Alex examines the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. The coming of the Holy Spirit is the greatest gift post-resurrection that God gave us, as the primary job of the Holy Spirit is to connect us to the love of God.

This week, Pastor Karla introduces us to the book of Acts. In Acts 1:1-11, Karla explores how Jesus' ascension was more than to fulfill prophecy. It is an invitation for all of us to be participators in the spreading of God's Kingdom.
