The Serving Church Podcast

As we continue looking at the idea of purpose, we again consider how we can find it. Those who are saved have a calling, but many times we do not find our calling. We consider how our calling and our vision align and how God is able to open our eyes and ears to hear from him. Prayerfully listen this week. Our hope is that God opens your eyes and ears to hear your calling and fulfill what he has cr...

Many of us know that we should find our purpose. It is of utmost importance to God and us, but we don't find it in our lifetime. Why is that? Why is it so hard to find our purpose? We look at the desires of Jesus for our lives and we consider if we are ready to make the commitment so that we can find our purpose. If you are interested in finding your purpose, tune in! We believe this sermon is for...

This year, we believe we can have heaven in our homes, especially the fruits of the spirit. We are aiming to have all 9 qualities in our home. What stops this from happening? We consider how believers do not center their life on the scriptures. If they would, how would our families look? We consider some norms about family life from scripture. As always, thanks for listening. Our prayer is that yo...

We want to bring heaven on earth. That is the aim of this church. We are praying Sunday morning is a meeting ground between heaven on earth. What stops this from happening? Many churches today are dry and dead and we pray that we can bring back a fresh move of God so heaven comes on earth. We look at the story of Ananias and Saphira to consider what stopped them from bringing heaven on earth. As a...

Having heaven in our homes is one of the core principles of the Serving Church. What stops it from happening in most Christian homes? In Joshua, we see Joshua's conviction that his family will walk with God. We consider the choices we make. We have to be deliberate about our families and their direction. We consider areas to be deliberate in. As always, thanks for listening. Our prayer is that it...

Every group has a culture. As our church grows, we continue to consider and cultivate the culture of our church What are qualities of the leaders that we desire? Do we look for lots of experience or great talent? We consider the life of Jesus and how he modeled good leadership as we encourage our church leaders and those in church around. Thanks always for listening to the sermon. Our prayer is th...

We are stepping into 2025, considering that Christianity is a movement of power. Our lack of faith stops the power of God How does one know if they are walking fully in their faith? We look at the story of the woman with the issue of blood and consider that our effort shows where we put our faith. As always, thanks for listening and if you have any prayer requests or questions, feel free to reach...

We want to see a church that develops people to look like Jesus. Not just in word, but in day to day life. Even though we know we should look like Jesus, many do not. Why is that the case? We look at the Genesis story and the life of Jesus to consider how our excuses keep us from looking like Jesus and many common excuses people make today. As always, thanks for listening and please let us know if...

Healing comes when we pray and seek his face. What does it mean to pray and seek his face? As we consider this question, we also consider why it is difficult for the believer to do these things. As we embark to understand, our hope is that we will win these battles and apply it into our lives. We will find healing if we are willing to As always, thanks for tuning in. Please let us know if you have...

Why does God give promises? Why not just give the promise instead of making the promise? We look at the life of Abraham and consider this question because the same God that made promises for Abraham makes promises to us. God loves you and wants a full life for you. May God bless you as you listen to the podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You are the light of the world. What does that even mean? How do I cultivate that?

If we desire to see healing in our land, we must humble ourselves, pray, seek his face and turn from our wicked ways. This week, we look at the idea of being humble. Without humility, we cannot see the healing that God desires for the land. What does it mean to be humble? How do we humble ourselves more? We look at the idea of gratitude and how it goes hand in hand with humility. As always, thanks...

Many believers say they love God, but look and act like people in the world. Why is that so? How can people say they love God and care about him, but there not be any change? We consider that question this week as we look at 2 Corinthians 5, where Paul talks about how the love of Christ compels him. As always, let us know if you have any questions and please reach out if you would like any prayer....

Why do our daily disciplines matter? As believers, we know that being disciplined day to day matters, but why? If we can get to an answer of why, we might be able to put more effort into our disciplines. We look at the life of Abraham and consider how a lack of discipline in his daily matters became not only an issue he faced multiple times, but that his son faced as well. As always, thank you for...

How does an individual begin to give more effort in their walks with God? We all know that we should prioritize our walks with God, but it can go to the back burner many times. How does an individual begin to change that? We look at the life of Bartimaeus to give us some guidance. Why was he willing to give the best of himself, even though others were trying to stop him? As always, we appreciate y...

How does an individual find their purpose? This is one of the most important questions a person engages with, but so few are able to articulate it. We look at the life of Daniel and consider how he fulfilled his purpose, looking at the story of Daniel and the lions den. We consider what it means for us in our search of our purpose. As always, we appreciate you tuning in and we hope that the messag...

Are you willing to die on that hill? This is a simple question but it shows conviction. Which hill are you ready to die on? We consider this as we look at the aim of our church.

As always, thanks for engaging, and let us...

How do we find our aim better? To know your aim will help you not only solve a math problem easier, but it gives you focus in life.

One of the cultural components of our church is to be as a family. A family is the basic building block of society, so how do we grow that unit so that we are stronger and more unified? As we see in Acts, an open church is a church that grows as a family. After the Holy Spirit moved, there was an openness with their lives to each other. This is in direct contrast to the hiddenness in our churches...

Authority is the right of a believer. There once was a time when believers walked in authority, casting out demons, healing the sick and raising the dead. Much of that is gone today. So how do we grow in authority? We look at the life of Jesus and consider how more authority was granted to Him as seen in Philippians 2:5-11. The message may not be easy, but our prayer is that God gives us the grace...

We are at a time when church is about us. What if we considered what we could do to strengthen the church that we are at. When we ask this question, it changes our perspective from a self-centered point of view to a God-centered and others-centered point of view. We look at 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 to consider what we can do to strengthen the church. As always, if you have prayer requests or questio...

What is death and what is hades and why is understanding that important? In Revelation1:18, Jesus says that he holds the keys of death and Hades. What does that mean? This week, we looks at why Jesus had to die as a human and the significance for all people. Verses like these unite scripture together from the first command of God to his coming, so although it may seem like a basic idea of scriptur...
