59:24

SICK FAT: Biology, Not Willpower. Stop fighting the wrong enemy! Sick Fat, also known as adiposopathy, is a tough topic, so I found one of the most experienced specialists to walk us through it. With this episode, I'm hoping to change the narrative around obesity & chronic disease. From one of blame, to one of biology & healing. What I like about D…

Help Through Hindrances 20:57

1d ago20:57

20:57

In John’s gospel, chapter 16, the very last verse, Jesus told His followers, “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” That’s the KJV. In another translation, that verse reads this way: “While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world.” That sounds like s…

Jesus and Interruptions 19:50

8d ago19:50

19:50

If you have ever been totally occupied in giving your full time and attention to some project, and along comes someone who interrupts you in what you’re doing, then you know just how frustrating and annoying that can be. You may be tempted to give that person “a piece of your mind.” The Bible tells us that Jesus was “in all points tempted, as we ar…

Carry on Jeeves - Our Favourite Married Couple 1:05:42

9d ago1:05:42

1:05:42

This week, we’re diving into Carry On, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, a collection of short stories that perfectly captures the hilariously lopsided dynamic between the clueless Bertie Wooster and his unflappable valet, Jeeves. If you’ve never read Wodehouse before, this is the perfect entry point-sharp, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny. In this episo…

How Can I Be Sure I Am a Christian? 18:36

16d ago18:36

18:36

If you were to ask the average person today the question, “Are you a Christian?” you may get a variety of answers. Some may say, “Yes, I am. I try to be good to others; I pay my debts; I am faithful in my marriage; I am a good husband (or wife)” - and on and on it may go. But what is it that determines if a person is truly a Christian or not? That’…

A Pearl of Great Price 13:40

23d ago13:40

13:40

Do you know what a parable is? Perhaps you learned long ago that a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. There is a parable that Jesus told which is only one sentence long, although in Matthew’s account in chapter 13, it takes up two verses. 45 and 46. This is a story about something which was quite expensive. If you are where you ca…

All systems Red - Local SecUnit Can’t Believe It Paused Its Shows For This 1:11:42

22d ago1:11:42

1:11:42

This week, we’re talking about All Systems Red by Martha Wells, the first novella in the Murderbot Diaries series-and it’s safe to say we’re officially obsessed. With a title like Murderbot, you’d expect chaos (and there’s plenty), but what really caught us is the dry humor, the unexpected heart, and one of the most relatable AI narrators we’ve eve…

How Big Is Your God? 21:35

30d ago21:35

21:35

Several years ago, a popular Bible translator made the statement, “The trouble with many people today is that they have not found a God big enough for modern needs.” Most people have a god of some kind that they worship, but what kind of god is sufficient for our needs today? This morning we will try to answer that question with another question wh…

The Hunger for Acceptance 16:02

1M ago16:02

16:02

One of the most painful experiences anyone can endure is that of being rejected by someone who is special in your life. Maybe a spouse, a child, a parent, a close friend or anyone whose approval we desire. In our Bible passage for today, the apostle Peter wrote to some people who has been utterly rejected. The reference for our text in the Scriptur…

The Cross Pull 20:57

1M ago20:57

20:57

Have you ever seen the cartoon which pictures a little devil sitting on a person’s shoulder, whispering in one ear, and on the other shoulder a little angel whispering in the other ear? This pictures what we all experience when we have a debate going on inside our hearts, having to decide if we will obey God’s will or not. This is what the sermon i…

Today our worship service is quite different from the normal. We are celebrating today “Christmas in July.” Perhaps you have heard it said that the Christmas carols are so beautiful, it is sad that we sing them only once a year. Well, today we are having a Christmas celebration, with music and the sermon all on a Christmas theme. The title of today…

Even though Independence Day is now past, we are continuing to celebrate today with another patriotic service.

Our gathered congregation will sing “God Bless America” on both of these Sundays. But the question for us today is, “When Can God Bless America?” For m…

24. Can You Reverse Heart Disease? | Ajay Joseph, MD 21:59

21:59

Fascinating conversation with Dr. Ajay Joseph, an interventional cardiologist from Tulsa who's doing something remarkable. He spends 4 days a week putting stents in patients' hearts, and 1 day a week teaching them how to cook healthy meals so they never need stents in the first place. Here's what stopped me in my tracks: → 90% of heart attacks are …

Just a Tiny Little Minute 20:28

2M ago20:28

20:28

Twice each year most states in our nation go through an ordeal of remembering to change our clocks – either forward or backward. “Spring forward – Fall backward” we say. Getting the right time is very important to most people. In the 90th Psalm, verse 12, there is a reminder from God that we are to “number our days.” We’re thinking about that this …

On this Father’s Day this year we are thinking about gifts - not gifts that we might give to our earthly fathers, but rather the gifts that we have all received from our heavenly Father. What are some of these gifts? We could never name them all, but let’s look today at just a few. Thank you for worshiping with us today from Ocean Lakes Family Camp…

Half-Way Christians 19:32

3M ago19:32

19:32

The title of today’s message is one which may be confusing to some people: “Half-Way Christians.” One might say that a person is a Christian or not, but you can’t be just “half-way.” Actually this title is what is called an “oxymoron.” This is a figure of speech in which two or more words are put together which are actually opposites; they contradi…

Mini Ep - Gideon the Ninth 17:53

Before we read and discuss the second book in “The Locked Tomb” series, we thought we would revisit the first book, “Gideon the Ninth”, and ask questions we hadn’t asked before. Note, this episode features spoilers for the book. The Back of the Book: “The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, som…

Blowing the Trumpet 14:16

3M ago14:16

14:16

If you look at the title of today’s message, you may get the wrong impression that we’re thinking today about some musical subject - “Blowing the Trumpet.” Actually, Jesus was talking about some people of His day who did good deeds, but wanted everybody to take notice. It is a very interesting analogy that Jesus used, and there is a real important …

Leave Your Money at Home 23:26

4M ago23:26

23:26

The title of today’s sermon is one which many people may think that they would never hear from a preacher. We’ve all heard critics of the organized church say, “All they talk about at church is money.” Jesus did not do that, and in fact, there were times when He told people that they could just leave their money at home. That’s the subject of today…

Finding Through Losing 17:28

During the years when Jesus was on this earth in person, there were many who heard His words, but could not understand what He was talking about. One of His sayings which was so hard for people to take in is recorded in Luke’s gospel, chapter 9, verse 24. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Save your life and lose it; lose your life for My sake, and you…

How Do You Face Life’s Trials? 20:35

Every time a preacher steps to the pulpit to bring a message to the people, there surely must be an awareness that someone out there in the congregation is in great need of a message from God which will give strength for the facing of the next days, weeks, months, and even years ahead. The question is not, do you have any burdens, but rather, the m…

Last Sunday we looked together at the subject of miracles, and we all concluded (I hope) that this is truly one way in which God works in our lives. The day of miracles is not over. But is this the only way in which He works? Probably not. So today we are going to move forward and look at yet another way in which God works. This is through a big wo…

How God Works in Our Lives 22:37

5M ago22:37

22:37

Last Sunday we examined the idea of trying to explain what we mean when we say that something is “The Will of God.” This statement is usually an attempt to give God credit for all that happens. Yes, God does work in many ways in our lives, and today we are going to make a beginning at looking at several ways in which God works. We trust that this w…

The Will of God 17:37

When tragic events happen and we hear about them in the news, how do we respond? Sometimes people, even devoted Christians, respond by saying, “It was God’s will.” When we hear of a senseless murder, a horrible plane crash which takes the lives of many people, or events in nature, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or wildfires, is it righ…
