Stockholm Community Podcast

In Philippians 1, Paul shows us that the gospel brings joy, keeps moving forward, and is even worth suffering for. Join us as we talk about how God, who began a good work in us, will carry it on to completion as we live each day for His glory. * we apologize for the slight background music, we had some initial technical difficulties

Today draws from the lives of Abraham and Isaac to explore the importance of spiritual renewal and Sabbath rest. In a season of slowing down, we're reminded to reconnect with God, dig up the wells that may have been stopped, and create new rhythms of worship, community, and refreshment.

As we continue our series on the Holy Spirit, we explore the meaning and purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit as seen in Acts 2 and throughout the New Testament. More than a one-time experience, it is a divine gift that empowers believers for deeper worship and bold witness in everyday life.

Today's talk explores how the Holy Spirit transforms our lives, guiding us into truth, empowering us to overcome sin, and producing lasting fruit in us. Through examples in Scripture and personal reflection, we’re reminded that the Spirit is our ever-present Helper—our Comforter, Advocate, Counselor, and Strengthener.

This week’s message focused on how God still speaks to us today—through wise counsel, dreams, visions, Scripture, and more. When we learn to listen, we discover His guidance is both personal and powerful, leading us in truth and purpose.

In this week’s message, we looked at Ruth’s journey from heartbreak and hopelessness to restoration and joy, showing how God can work through our pain to bring about something better than we could imagine. No matter where you are—hurting, waiting, or questioning—God is able, and His plan is always better.

The Book of Ruth is more than a romantic tale — it’s a powerful picture of God’s covenant love and redemption. In this message, we explore how Ruth’s bold faith and Boaz’s gracious response point us to Jesus, our ultimate Redeemer.

This week, we kicked off our new series in the Book of Ruth with a message titled "When It’s Time to Walk Away," exploring how God’s presence and providence are often most visible when life seems at its hardest. We were challenged to consider what "Moab" we may need to leave behind in order to return to the place where God is truly King in our lives.

This week we explored how God loves to use the insecure, the unlikely, the broken, and even the worried to accomplish His purpose. No matter your past or perceived limitations, God made you for a reason—and when you step out in faith, He will meet you there.

We tackled one of life’s hardest questions: Why did God let it happen? Christianity doesn’t ignore evil and suffering—it explains it, gives it purpose, and ultimately points us to the hope that something better is coming.

In this message, we explored the question: Why didn’t God answer my prayer? We looked at what Scripture says about broken relationships, wrong motives, faith, and God's will—and were reminded that the purpose of prayer is not to get God to do our will, but to know Him so we can do His.

This week, we asked the honest question: Why don’t I always feel God? We explored how distractions, sin, expectations, or even a hardened heart can get in the way of experiencing His presence—but also how God promises to be near to those who seek Him.

Our world is obsessed with what we do, but God cares about who we are—He calls us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we know our identity in Christ, we can live with purpose, reflecting His love and truth to those around us.

Nicodemus’ journey from a secret admirer to a bold disciple shows that true faith moves us from curiosity to commitment. Just as he stepped into the light, we are called to follow Jesus openly, trusting in the Spirit’s work and boldly living out our faith.

As followers of Christ, we are not just ordinary believers—we are His ambassadors, chosen to represent Him on earth. Our mission is to reflect God's love, share the message of reconciliation, and live as citizens of heaven, bringing light to a world in need.

You are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ for a purpose—yet many struggle to believe it. In this message, we uncover how our identity in Christ reshapes our purpose, freeing us from false labels and equipping us to live out the good works God prepared for us.

In a world that feels like it’s falling apart, we are reminded that God calls His people to humble themselves, pray, and seek His face. Just as Abraham interceded for Sodom, our prayers can move God’s heart, and He promises to hear and respond when we call on Him.

Jesus calls us to make disciples and love our neighbors by living out His commands, not just identifying who qualifies as one. We each have different gifts, but love is essential in using them to serve our community and fulfill our calling.

True life requires connection, but abundance comes through cultivating obedience and love. Jesus demonstrated that love is not just an emotion but a practical action—serving, sacrificing, and remaining in His example to experience fullness and community.

In this message, we explore the spiritual habit of slowing down—learning to be still, seek God intentionally, and create space for intimacy with Him. Through biblical examples and practical steps, we discover how slowing our minds helps us hear God’s voice, find strength, and live with purpose.

This week, we explore the habit of Godly sorrow, a transformative practice that leads to repentance, salvation, and a life free from regret. Discover how embracing heartfelt repentance instead of rationalizing sin allows us to draw closer to God and fulfill His calling for our lives.

Today we explores how cultivating steadfastness strengthens the heart, allowing followers of Jesus to stand firm in faith and thrive through trials, rooted in God’s promises. By embracing daily habits of grace, resilience, integrity, and teachability, we can build a spiritually healthy heart that reflects God’s steadfast love.

This message explores the habit of simplifying by focusing on what truly matters. Discover how to embrace 'less is better,' recognize the sufficiency of Jesus, and live a contented life rooted in eternal priorities.

This message explores the habit of self-examination, reminding us that true transformation begins when we stop deceiving ourselves and allow God to search and change our hearts (Psalm 139:23-24). If you want to change your life, change your habits—but to change your habits, let God transform your heart.

God's unending mercy and love offer us a fresh start, as seen in the lives of Peter and Judas—one who embraced forgiveness and moved forward, and the other who didn’t. By accepting Christ’s grace, we are called to press on as new creations, living out our faith through transformed hearts and renewed minds.
