Gardendale Church Of The Nazarene Podcast

This morning we wrapped up our series on worship. The woman at the well is one of the great stories in John's gospel. Today, we look at Jesus' offer of living water.

God is in the midst of doing new things all around us. Are we willing to let God work? Are willing to remove our grasp and allow God to guide?

We are continuing through 1 Corinthians 3. Paul lays out for us what a church should look like- one built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

We are servants, just like Paul and Apollos. In worship we plant and water, but it is God who gives the growth.

This morning was Alabama North TNT for 2014. We had a great morning and were joined by Draper Rogers from Gardendale, AL.

Jesus knew that to worship Satan was to alter his identity, loyalties, and life direction. Satan desired to plant doubt and insecurity in the heart of Jesus, and he desires to do the same to us.

Restoration is connected to the act of worship. It results from what happens when people encounter God in worship.

Worship claims us and names us. In Romans 8, we are claimed as heirs with Christ. That is our true identity.

This morning, we are joined by a special guest, Rev. Philip Smith.

The names of our Savior are names that help shed light on exactly who this child is.

In the midst of what we think is God's silence, we quiet ourselves and find Him working.

"God with us" is both life changing and world changing. This life changing presence is present in "us".

It is the vocation of the church to lead unbelievers to conversion and into the life of faith in the Body of Christ.

This morning we had a special guest, our new District Superintendent, Rev. Greg Story. He challenged us to be a supernatural church.

Matthew 8 and 9 contain three stories that remind us that we have been thrust into a struggle larger than ourselves. Are we willing to surrender our lives to God?

Forgiveness comes first to us. It is out of that action that we have the ability to forgive.

In praying for "our daily bread", we realize that God has chosen to meet our most basic needs. It is there, our eyes are opened and we see God among us.

"Your kingdom come" is a concrete reality in which we are to become part or be out of step with the reality that God has come into the world in Jesus.

In praying the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that we belong, not to ourselves and our desires, but to God.

God prepares the harvest and we cannot go out into the harvest without God’s leading. Jesus’ command to His apostles is just as vital today as it was then.
