Word of Life Church Podcast

On the journey of life, we will find ourselves as both the helper and the helped. The myth of the self-made man is a strong belief in our culture, but an honest reflection on life will find "no man is an island entire of itself." We are a God-made mankind and it is not good that we are alone. Therefore, may find comfort in a God who is good and faithful - who's help most often comes through other...

We are resurrection people not only because believe in the doctrine of the resurrection. We are resurrection people because we practice resurrection. We walk in newness of life. There are four practices that open up the door to all the other practices of the faith, namely awareness, learning, reflecting, and action. When we adopt these four practices, the way of life opens up for us.

“The devout Christian of the future will either be a ‘mystic,’ one who has ‘experienced’ something, or he will cease to be anything at all. –Karl Rahner The tsunami of secularism will be survived, not by clever apologetics, or by waging misguided culture wars, or by pining away for an irretrievable past, but being a person who has had their own mystical experience with God.

My Back Pages Bob Dylan Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin’ high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I Proud ’neath heated brow Ah, but I was so much older then I’m younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth “Rip down all hate,” I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed...

There Is A Light U2 And if the terrors of the night come creeping into your days And the world comes, stealing children from your room Guard your innocence From hallucination and know that darkness always gathers around the light There is a light you can’t always see If there is a world we can’t always be If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt And there is a light, don’t let it go out When the...

Lament A portion like madness in season Bracing all like a breaking of reason With every night lost and every day torn With the drama feeling calmer and it's calmer in the storm Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night I'll never be free Gospel Ooh, in this darkness Please light my way Light my wa...

I'm passing sleeping cities Fading by degrees Not believing all I see to be so I'm flyin' over backyards Country homes and ranches Watching life between the branches below And it's hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don't you baby? You keep running for another place To find that saving grace I'm moving on alone Over ground that no one owns Past statues that atone for my sins...

​The day you came Naked, afraid Young mother screams and pushes you The day you came Oh joy begin Weak little thing More precious there’ll be nothing, no Oh joy begin Let’s not forget these early days Remember we begin the same We lose our way in fear and pain Oh joy begin First just one step One word and then With laughter sing, oh life begin First just one step Innocent kiss Black magic bliss Fi...

Love Never Jimmy Eat World Love ain’t never been your friend Love never going hear what you’re demanding Love ain’t some magical thing Love never gonna to be the way you’re dreaming It’s going to seem so far It’s going to feel so hard Until you want the work more than the reward Until you stop asking, “Oh, what is it all for?” Do you want the work more than the reward?

The story line of the Book of Acts is very straightforward: It retraces the Gospel from Jerusalem to Samaria to the Gentiles and finally to Rome. The dominant person in the first twelve chapters is the Apostle Peter: His preaching in Jerusalem, his proclamation of the Gospel to the Gentiles at Caesarea, and the Council in Jerusalem that determined that Gentiles do not have to become Jewish in orde...

Why were the first Christians frequently persecuted? Not because they embraced a new religion, but because with their faith, their baptism and their Christian lifestyle they announced and enacted a new social order. The first Christians pledged their allegiance to Christ as the world's new and true King and they dared to live according to that allegiance.

In Acts 9 we meet a man who was always zealous for God, who always wanted a revolution, who always wanted to change the world; but after he met Jesus he had to rethink how the world is to be changed and how the revolution is to come. This man is Saul of Tarsus—we know him as the Apostle Paul.
