The Serving Church Podcast

Christians can say things enough that sometimes we don't even know what it means. The Trinity is one that many have a hard time understanding or explaining. How do you explain the Trinity and does it matter if you can explain it or not? As we engage in this question our hope is that you see the benefit in thinking deeply about these things and it can bring change to your life. As always, if you ha...

Progress is the right of every human being. Sometimes we like we are not progressing when everyone else is running by. More than that, we may also feel like we are moving backwards when people are moving forward because of our issues, addictions and problems. How do we begin to get unstuck and move forward? Does God even care? #theservingchurchdallas Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

What does it mean to be wise and how do we gain wisdom? The language of wisdom is something so common but still something that can be so hard to define. Considering the definition not only allows for us to understand it, but it also allows us to grow in it As always, if you have questions, prayer requests or comments, please reach out to us at theservingchurchdallas@gmail.com. #theservingchurchdal...

What makes a group of people a social gathering versus a church? There are so many commonalities between social gatherings and churches today that some might not be able to distinguish the difference between the two. Specifically, we consider that churches should have unity. Unity is a mystery where 2 people come together to become one. We consider how churches can grow in their unity and steps to...

The language of salvation is so elementary to Christians that we ignore what it means. In the sermon, we consider what salvation is so that we can consider whether we are "saved" in our Christian lives or not. The hope is that as we understand salvation, a fruitful Christian life that shares and evangelizes will be a natural byproduct. As always, please feel free to ask any questions or give comme...

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." We can quote the importance of scripture and how we "should" be reading the Bible, but many lack a desire towards reading the Bible. Why is that? Feel free to check out one reason we discussed and how we can grow. We will also be discussing how once we are open to reading the Word, it comes after every part of you, including how you live...

One of the most important things as Christian believers is talking to others about God, yet many have difficulty sharing. How do we get more comfortable? We look at the life of the man born blind in John 9 and consider how he went from not going Jesus, to sharing boldly about Jesus. You are not far off from boldly talking about Jesus, so listen in and hopefully it encourages you to talk about Jesu...

What is your aim in life? This is such a simple question but can be difficult to answer. Without an answer to this, it's hard to see where you are going. As we embark on answering this, I want to encourage you that there is no simple answer, but a process of searching and finding. We pray that our sermon gives guidance as we look at the life of Jesus. Let us know if we can pray for you or if you h...

What is the responsibility of a Christian? Responsibilities do not always make life more fun, but they make life more meaningful, so I encourage you to consider what the responsibilities of a Christian are so that you can add meaning to your life. You were created with a purpose, so engage with that and I hope we, along with the Word of God, can help you in the process. If you have any prayer requ...

With the birth of Sam and Hepzhi's baby girl this week, we are considering those things which are "precious." We have some ideas of what is valuable and should be treated with utmost respect in an earthly way, but God does as well in a heavenly way. We are looking at a few of those things which God sees as precious this week, so enjoy the show #theservingchurchdallas Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...

Question of the week: How do we handle the rebelliousness of ourselves and others towards God? Our rebellion to God keeps us from the life God has for us. How do we work against that rebellion? You’ll have to admit the issue and submit to God. Feel free to listen in as we discuss further on the podcast #theservingchurchdallas  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Question of the Week: What are qualities of a strong church? If a church is a unit to help bring about the kingdom of God and it was ordained by God, we should take it seriously. What qualities are necessary for a church to thrive? This week we look at the commitment required for a church to thrive. There was some audio difficulties so we had to re record the verses, so please forgive us. Thanks f...

Question of the week: How do you handle hell on earth? It is easy to talk about the kingdom of God if life is good, but what do we do if our situation is bleak and it feels like hell? What if we have tried and there seems to be no hope? Our prayer is that the answers of scripture give us hope and guidance that no situation is beyond repair and that Jesus is there to help us through. God bless you...

The language of seeking the kingdom of God is something that we have heard our whole life, but can you articulate what it means? And if you can’t articulate what it means, can you actually live it out? Our goal is to give a small sense of what it is and practical steps so we can live it out Hosted on Acast.

Question of the week: What are the benefits of seeking what you want over seeking the things of God? This question goes against our natural instincts to say cliche things about seeking God first. Consider this week why we seek things we want and how we can remedy that. As we look at Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 1:4, we compare the stories of people who sought what they wanted versus those that sought w...

Question of the week: Why don't we always prioritize God as we should? As we continue in Matthew 6:33, we look at what it takes to seek the Kingdom of God first: Focus. What stops us from focusing and how do we grow in our focus to prioritize God in our day to day lives better. Thanks for tuning in! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
