Love
Pastors Bill McMinn and Adam Page discuss the topic of Love in todays episode. Here are some of the main talking points:
– Love is unconditional
– Love is sacrificial
– Love is mutual
The discussion points us to the fact that we are called to be loving, but in todays society things that are Biblically loving are characterized as acts of hate. We must keep the Biblical perspective of Christian love, and the Pastors give us examples of how to do that in this Podcast. We hope that you are blessed as you engage with this episode.
Are You Enjoying Life with Your Spouse?
When Chasidy and I spend time together, we usually try to enrich ourselves with study and devotion to the Lord, as well as each other. We both understand the need for us to individually be healthy in our faith and connection with God, so we encourage that each and every day (even when we are on vacation!). I love to read to my wife and then discuss what we studied together. I love to hear her pray! What I have found is that when we take that time to connect with the Lord, our connection becomes so much stronger as a result. There is no greater feeling than to be at peace with the Lord and in harmony with your spouse! It is precious and I hope that all people will be able to experience this great treasure in life!
Worship Minute: Prioritizing Prayer
Worship Minute: We must learn to prioritize prayer. The importance of prayer cannot be overstated! Jesus quoted Isaiah 56:7 when he taught those in the temple after driving out the money-changers when He began to teach them and said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have turned it into a den of robbers!” Jesus prioritizes prayer in the house of God, and in His own daily activities (see Luke 6:12 where He spent all night in prayer). My question is, Do we take prayer seriously? Are we prioritizing Prayer in our lives? If not, why not? Also, I want to invite you to come and be a part of the Oasis Prayer gathering on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 8pm. We would love to see you and hear your prayers! ~ Mark
Confession
Mark Hostetler and Bill McMinn discuss the importance of confession and the role it plays in keeping relationships healthy, whether between us and God or us and people. We hope and pray that you are enjoying these Podcast episodes.
Session 30: Confession
Sometimes we bear incredible burdens because we will not acknowledge what we did wrong! We can because God forgives us, we can be relieved of our burdens by confessing it. We’re not talking about confessing everything that we do but we should confe…
Enslaved to Righteousness
Choose today to make yourself a slave to Jesus and the righteousness that He has made available to you by His death on the cross. Each of us were once slaves to our flesh and sinful passions, “But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to, and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.” (Romans 6:17-18) Slavery, in this sense, is the best thing that will ever happen to us, so let’s choose today to present ourselves as instruments of righteousness that leads to life! God bless you!

Redemption

Session 29: Redemption
Redemption comes from concept of a slave being bought and set free. We are free people and free to do the right things but we have to live it! There is so much hope in God’s power to become a better person who makes a difference in our world.
Using our Freedom Properly
“Live as free people” is what the verse says above, and I believe it is profound! We all have the freedom to say anything that we want – at any time (As Americans anyways). That can be very bad, or that can be very good! In the negative sense, the Bible says that we have the power of death in our tongue (Proverbs 18:21). That is very scary and it should make us think twice before we speak! The very words we speak can and will shape our lives, the tone of the conversations, the disposition of the people around us, and so-on. Using the freedom we have to do evil (e.g. gossip, slander, dishonor, etc.) is never going to bring about anything good and profitable, so let’s not do that. On the contrary, in the verse referenced above it says that the power of life is in the tongue as well (Proverbs 18:21). This is where the “slaves to God” comes into play. Choosing to speak good and noble things instead of letting any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths (Ephesians 4:29), we are speaking life and encouragement into people’s lives as opposed to death and anxiety.
