You Are From God

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall How do we respond to issues of sin around us? Shem and Japheth carried a garment backwards to cover their father's shame. In this simple act we see a prime Biblical principle in action: love covers a multitude of sins. Let's be cloak-carriers like these two men and act in truth and love at every...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We're often invited, perhaps sometimes forced, to pick a side in a dispute. When battle lines are drawn, we might hope at the end of the day that God is on our side. But in fact, we're looking at those situations all wrong: instead, we must seek to be on God's side as we face every divi...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall When we contemplate the ideas of beauty and value, many will be quick to describe these concepts as subjective: what one person sees as beautiful or valuable, another person may see as plain or worthless. But what if beauty is in the eye of the Beholder of all? What if value, especially t...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Part of life's journey is exchanging guidance along the way with fellow travelers. In both commands and examples, the word of God stresses the benefits of seeking the counsel of those more experienced--as well as investing time and energy into instructing those younger than us. Today, we d...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Go back to an early episode one last time with us as we ask the question, "who is my neighbor?"

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Let's go back to another early episode of this podcast and reexamine what it means to love your neighbor as yourself.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We revisit an early episode that explores the intrinsic value each person has from their God-given soul.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We revisit our pilot episode about being made in the image of God, with a new ending examining the process of becoming more like Jesus each day. Plus, a special announcement at the beginning!

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall "I am the vine; you are the branches." Jesus teaches us that living for God requires intentional living each day, with strength and direction flowing from Him as the source. As we seek to dwell and abide in the Lord, we go from meditating on His ways to walking in them and growing in them each d...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Who's in your "inner circle?" Even Jesus had a smaller group of closer followers among the large crowds following him. The people we are closest with will shape and influence us, as we will them. No wonder, then, that God has a good deal to say about the company you choose to keep. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Busyness. Distraction. Overextension. Do you feel stretched thin by the demands of life? It's easy to become anxious about many things; but one thing is necessary. This is the lesson Jesus teaches Martha in Luke chapter 10, and it's a lesson we need to hear today. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall If your life is a wall, each decision you make is like another brick being laid. How you choose to build is ultimately up to you; but what kind of life are you building? And will the challenges of life prove your foundation solid, or wanting?

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Hunters often exert brute force to overwhelm their prey. But some hunters use more subtle, deceptive methods to subdue their targets; this is how Satan, the one who hunts our souls, hatches his schemes. And if we prove ignorant of his devices, our souls could easily bleed out.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall When conflicts result in a stalemate, how can children of God achieve resolution and reconciliation? Somebody has to move first, but making that move is less about who wronged who and more about seeking God's glory in the struggle.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Everyone talks to themselves. And no matter what has shaped it, that voice inside our head can have a major impact in my view of myself, the people around me, and even God. The Scriptures record several instances of internal dialogue to help us better understand a godly way of managing our self-tal...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Be they physical or emotional, we all carry scars. What's the story behind yours? The beauty of God in healing our brokenness is displayed when we understand His grace in our scar stories.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall You can't always be happy; but you can always be joyful. While we spend so much of our lives chasing the temporary, circumstantial feeling of happiness, God invites each of us to choose the attitude of joy found in knowing Him.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Having a healthy sense of self comes with knowing what should (and shouldn't) define us. When our identity is wrapped up in wordly pursuits, ideals, and mistakes, our stability becomes as shaky as the ground we've built on. The Lord invites you to find your identity in Him.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall Do you keep yourself down all day and up at night by dwelling on the "what ifs" of your life? Whether it's preoccupation with the past or the uncertainty of the future, our regrets and fears can get the better of us. God invites you to stabilize yourself on the "what is" as you...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall After a few weeks of discussing the expectations we carry and encounter among one another in everyday life, today we dig deeper into the expectations that matter: what does God expect of you? While the answer may be simple enough, putting it into practice requires everything we have and all that we are.

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall You have expectations of others, and others have expectations of you. It's human, but it can be messy, stressful, or even damaging if we aren't mindful of the demands we place on others--and ourselves. Let's talk about managing the expectations in ourselves and setting realistic expectations...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall It's human to bring expectations to any relationship, and to have expectations placed on you. While the world presents many different expectations of you, there is only one set of expectations that matter. Which will you regard and listen to?

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall One year ends and another begins: it's a natural time to take stock of life, to reflect on what lies behind and plan for what could be ahead. And while God commends wise planning and learning from the past in His word, we have clear instructions to not *live* in either the past or the future. In fac...

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall God's word talks about His people abiding in Him, as well as Him abiding in His people. What does this mean, practically speaking? By having a day-to-day relationship with the One who made us and sustains us, we thrive in the understanding that He cares for us on an individual level. 

Series: N/A Service: You Are From God Type: You Are From God Speaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler Hall We all want to succeed, but we must first define what success looks like. If you goal is spiritual success as God defines it, what can you be doing to ensure you stay on the narrow way that leads to life? We offer three principles from the word of God.
