The NOYC Godcast

This month we are taking a look at the premise of Jesus “Trading Spaces” with us. He had the most amazing situation, He was in heaven sitting right next to God, living in this perfect paradise. And one day He would have to leave everything that He has to come down and not only be born in a nasty, dirty stable. Considerable Quote: “We must remember that no matter what we do, or how successful we ar...

The gross Gospel tells the tale of a God who came to get dirty. However, Jesus did not stay in the stable, and He has no intentions of leaving you in barnlike conditions as a believer. Considerable quote: “There will be three effects of nearness to Jesus; humility, happiness, and holiness.” - Spurgeon Featured Content: Then Christ Came - Mercy Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu UYX-jss5Y

Today we are finishing up on our episodes titled Humble Pie. As Christians it is part of our walk in Salvation to remain humble and always direct praise to He who deserves all the praise. I think being humble is one of those things that is definitely easier to say and harder to do. Featured Content: Mercy - Elevation Worship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvww0_6GWYU

In Josh's wise words, the opposite of humble is pride.. I want to take a little look into that today. If pride is thinking of yourself, of raising yourself up, and humility is the opposite, then humility would be not thinking of ourselves, and lowering ourselves. Considerable Quote: “Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.” - Andrew Murray Featured Cont...

If you desire to be a spiritual somebody, if you want to be a giant of a believer- you’ll have to shrink down to your rightful size. Tune in to the next episode from our series ‘Humble Pie,’ as we take a look at meaningless megas Considerable quote: “Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of what is noble and bold and manlike. O that all would believe that this is the nobilit...

Join the NOYC GODcast as we gobble down a giant slice of humble pie topped with a dollop of whipped grace. “Humility is the only soil in which grace is rooted; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all...

What are you walking by? The temptation for a believer is…to not believe. Yet the Bible tells us that we are a people who walk by faith and not by sight. In other words- trust in faith, ignore the funk. Not rely upon the stench of the situation- but believe the Savior in every circumstance. Considerable Quote: “God never wants us to look at our feelings. Self may want us to; Satan may want us to....

The Bible is a factual book in all of its content meaning that everything that we read in the Bible is 100% actual factual. Considerable Quote: Disobedience is the opposite of faith.

When we start looking at our past mistakes, or looking at what we can do in ourselves, we will fall. When we look to the truth AKA the Bible, we see a different story.  Considerable Quote: "The only hope I have to live the Christian life is to not base it upon my life, experience, or what I’ve seen in the past. I must take every step moving forward on the solid rock, unchanging, life-enabling,...

Instead of believing His promises, we would rather take what we “know” and worry ourselves to death. Not only is this unbiblical for Christians it is also exhausting. If you are jumping to conclusions in every situation in your life and not leaning on God for guidance, you are always going to be in a state of fear and discontentment. Considerable Quote: God’s truth is not subject to man’s opinion....

Trick, Treat, or Truth. Just because something looks, feels, and seems real does not mean it exists. Join the NOYC GODcast as we find our way through the special series ‘Follow The Facts.' Considerable Quote: “My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.” -Spurgeon Featured Content: The Voice of Trut...

As we wrap up our September episodes talking about "Finding Fixes", we explore the thought that God is the ultimate fixer to any problem that we may face in life, and that he wants us to always turn to him. Considerable Quote: “It was the mighty power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him by which Jesus overcame the world–and that same quiet power, if it dwells in us, will make us win the sam...

Have you ever sat at that wobbly table at the restaurant? Do you have a wobbly table in your Christian walk? How can we fix it? God has a plan we just have to be willing to follow Him. Considerable Quote: Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill y...

Are you just following what grandma said, or are you following God? Considerable Quote: “Transformation happens when your heart moves from self-centeredness to God-centeredness.” Featured Content: For My Good - Cochren & Co for my good cochren & co - YouTube

Can He fix it? Yes He can! God is the master-builder, who will not accept faults and flaws as the norm in His Temple, which you are. What would it look like to close the gap between His Holiness and our life filled with holes? Join the NOYC as we hammer away at the brand new series ‘Finding Fixes.' Considerable quote: “Holiness, as taught in the scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our p...

On this episode of The NOYC GODcast we’ll take a look at the Savior’s spiritual secret to satisfaction, how to grocery shop like a saint, and the facts about what’s really filling our lives. Join the crew as we wrap up the series ‘You’re Dead to Me.’ Considerable Quote: “If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasure and pursuits, your profession is false.” - Spur...

Are you holding on to something that you need to let God chisel off? Maybe the thing that seems like a good thing in your life, is really something that needs to be cut off and given to God. Considerable Quote: If you want to live the Christian life, you will have to realize that Someone Else has to be in control. - Eric Ludy Featured Content: Skit Guys - God's Chisel Skit Guys - God's Chi...

We know we are to pick up our cross, die to self. Even so far as everything in this world should be dead to us compared to our love for Christ. But now what? What do we get from everything being dead to us while we are still actually living? Quote: “He cannot bless us unless He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is not our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, H...

You cannot live the Christian life, you cannot make yourself have Jesus’ desires, you are unable to force yourself to not sin. The only way for you to live the abundant, Christian life, is to die to yourself. Considerable Quote: “You either believe that God knows what He is doing, or you believe He doesn’t. You either believe He’s worth trusting, or you say He’s Not”- Elizabeth Elliot Featured Con...

Have you ever felt like you disappointed God? How can we come to Him after we disappoint Him? When we recognized God for Who He is we can run back to Him and He will help us overcome. Quote: “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.” -Corrie Ten Boom Featured Content: You Love Me Anyway - Sidewalk Prophets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8BBCYFAYRI

What if I disappoint someone? How should we as Christians handle being in the wrong? Considerable quote: “As long as you are proud, you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” -C.S.Lewis Featured content: Less like me- Zach William https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkYL1b7M...

The fact is all of us, every single one of us will in fact face disappointment. For a lot of us, even growing up in church, the most advice we received about being disappointed in life was when our parents responded with ‘yeah, well life’s not fair!’ And there’s some truth to that, but I can’t say it’s the most beneficial method of dealing with disappointment. Considerable Quote: “Give God His glo...

Disappointment is often a part of life. Even if disappointed by those we love most, how can we come out of it a better person? Considerable quote: "Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that prisoner was me." -Corrie ten Boom Featured Content: Today is beautiful - David Dunn

In order for us deal with our disappointment we have to realize that God is sovereign and all knowing. That He can see the issue way before we even knew it was an issue.  Considerable Quote: “You can’t avoid disappointment. None of us can. But we can choose how we respond to it. You can hold on to the feeling of disappointment or you can hold onto the hand of the Savior and let Him lead you with H...
