Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall The birth of God's Son was not met with fanfare, distinguished attendees, or royal accommodations. Even still, the circumstances surrounding the birth of the Messiah gave so much for Mary and others to treasure up in their hearts. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall After the better part of nine months unable to speak, Zechariah confirms in writing that his son's name is John. He then breaks into praise and prophecy about what God is doing and will do through John and the Messiah, highlighting the faithful love and mercy of the heavenly Father. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall As Mary receives further confirmation that God is at work through her, she breaks into praise and exaltation of God as the Savior. God's people magnify His name when we reflect on His mighty deeds. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Two people receive amazing news from the angel Gabriel; but while their initial responses seem the same, their hearts received the "impossible" news differently.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall The end of Paul's letter to the church in Philippi reminds all of us that contentment isn't something that happens to us, but a choice we make. And we can be truly content when we rest in the strength supplied by Jesus Christ through all situations and seasons. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall God gives us a command to rejoice always. The only way we can actually obey is if we rejoice "in the Lord," and Paul gives some practical direction on how we go about doing so.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Joy only comes and remains in our lives when our minds are set on the things that cultivate it. When we set our minds on earthly things, the fleeting pleasures leave us hollow. Instead, Paul teaches that our thoughts and goals ought to be set on the eternal, spiritual promises of God made poss...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Our sense of confidence and gain can come from so many places. But Paul shares from personal experience that those things don't bring true, lasting joy. We continue in Philippians to see why giving up any worldly gain is worth laying hold of the surpassing worth of gaining Christ. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Pursuing genuine joy requires that we set our interests in line with Jesus's interests. This involves embracing holiness through Christ Himself, as well as loving service to and sacrifice for other people.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Jesus was the most important person in every room he ever walked into. And yet, the King of kings sought to care for and serve every other soul in those rooms. This is the humility that Jesus's followers must have.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We struggle to find joy in circumstances that are not ideal. But true, Biblical joy comes from responding to situations and making decisions with a mind to pursue and proclaim Jesus--come what may.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We have discussed the principle of Biblical joy on this program before. Today we begin a series that will take us through Paul's letter to the Philippians in an effort to examine how Paul (from prison!) teaches fellow Christians to choose joy and demonstrates this practice himself. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Tyler Hall and Steven Matthews On this episode, special guest Steven Matthews joins us to discuss the story of David and Goliath and apply lessons from this timeless event to our spiritual battles today. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We treat time like money: we try to save it, we seek to invest it, and we want to avoid wasting it. This precious resource comes from our Creator, and He will hold us accountable for how we choose to use it.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall One of the ways we make sense of our world is through comparisons. We naturally analyze similarities and differences between two things and, correctly or otherwise, come away with conclusions. But what happens when we base our sense of self-esteem and -value on comparing ourselves to other people? Jesus...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor, Tyler Hall, and We recently sat down with Hal Hammons from the Citizen of Heaven podcast and recorded a few episodes about Biblical character. This episode is the beginning of that conversation, and we hope you enjoy listening to it! You can find our full conversation with Hal released over the first few days of Se...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We have spoken much about living out our hope in Jesus Christ without shame. The motivation for this comes from knowing that God is not ashamed of us, but wants to lift us up and fulfill all His amazing promises to us in Christ. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Following Jesus comes with sharing in his suffering. But we are reminded that we shouldn't feel shame about these ordeals; rather, they provide an opportunity to show our allegiance to the Lord while leaning on Him for strength. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall God says in His word that faith is a building process. As we did in our recent Vacation Bible School, we consider a few Old Testament characters who demonstrate the qualities that amplify our faith in God and His promises.  

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Believing in God and living a life according to the pattern of Bible truth may bring disapproval from the world around you. But the Lord tells His children that they have no need to be ashamed of following Him. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall One man in ancient Israel thought his sin didn't make a big difference in the conquest of Canaan. Yet his error, and downfall from there, impress powerful lessons on us as readers regarding how we think about sin and what it means to break faith with the Lord. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall As the Lord concludes the proclamation of His name to Moses in Exodus 34, He reveals His heart to forgive as well as His unwavering sense of justice. Rather than contradicting each other, these final two traits open our eyes to our greatest need and God's greatest solution. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall The kindness and faithfulness of God overflows to humankind. He is consistent in these qualities, which makes Him the source of the greatest and most reliable hope we could ever imagine.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall God is slow to anger. What does that mean, and how can we as His image-bearing people manage our human emotions in the same way?
