2011/05/10 - Faithshakers 5 Why Do I Feel Sad?

Wednesday, May 10
Zack Butterfield

Handout:

So the Bible tells us that the life of a Christian should be happy a happy one right? It says "rejoice always" and "my hope is in the Lord". But at the same time, Jesus gave us clear warnings that we would be persecuted for our faith. In fact, we even saw times where Jesus was brought to tears. In This lesson we ask ourselves the question "Why do I feel sad even as a Christian?" Listen in as we dig through God's Word together to find the answer.

This was our last week of Turbo Charged before taking a break. We'll pick it back up June 22.

Handout:

Have there ever been times when you don't feel close to God? Maybe it's during those times when you are stressed and it feels like life is a whirlwind. Maybe you are facing difficult decisions and God doesn't seem to be given you answers. Maybe something really bad has happened and it feels like you are talking to wall when you pray.

The Bible shows us that God is not as far as He sometimes feels. Listen in to check out more.

2011/03/30 - Faithshakers 1

Wednesday, Mar. 30

Does God really care about the things that I do? He's God right? He's the creator of the universe and I'm sure is a really busy guy...in fact if He is so busy does He even have time for me? Does God really even care about me?!

This is the first set of questions we will dive into in our new "FaithShakers" series. We're all going to come across moments in our lives where we will be tempted to ask questions that may shake up our faith.

But we remember that when we stand in Christ, we are standing on solid ground. Listen in as we answer the question, "Does God care about me?" using Biblical proof.

2011/03/23 - Putting Faith Into Practice

Wednesday, Mar. 23
Zack Butterfield

We're back from spring break! I hope you all had a great vacation time! In this lesson we wrapped up our "Faith Driver's ed" series. Every good driver take what they learned and puts it into practice when they drive. Any driver knows that when you get your license, it's not the end of your driving career but the beginning! With this idea in mind, we remember that when you start a relationship with Jesus, it's just that... the start! Jesus does offer us complete salvation based on Grace and there is nothing we can do to earn it. So why do we need to DO anything as Christians? Take some time to listen in as we talk about that very thing. We know the basic answer: We DO everything that Jesus tells us to. So let's go deeper and find out WHY?

2011/03/09 - Good Decisions in Faith

Wednesday, Mar. 9
Zack Butterfield

In our faith we all come across situations where we have to make decisions. Some decisions are easy like, what am I eating for breakfast today? Some decisions can be fun like, what kind of car am I going to drive when I get my license? Other decisions can be hard, like what am I going to do for my life? We all have decisions to make. Thankfully we have a guide to help us learn how to make good decisions with the wisdom God offers to give us in all of these situations. Listen in to find out more! (We did have a glitch in the recording so it sounds different. It's not you or your computer. We'll have it fixed for next week.)
