We need to be reminded who provides for us daily and how that should impact the way we care for others.Matthew 6:11 Give us today our daily bread.

FPC 202: The Lords Prayer #3

Why are we always trying to get out of earth?  Jesus is inviting us into a new way of thinking and living.Matthew 6:10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

FPC 201: The Lord's Prayer #2

This prayer that Jesus invites us into is a rally cry to live and be different.  It&apos;s so much more than a framework to prayer, but rather how to live.Matthew 6:9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." 

FPC 200: The Lord's Prayer #1

I have to say...Jesus sympathizing with me is not a way I have lived most of my life understanding.  How does it change the way we live if we accept this truth?  The writer of Hebrews wants us to deal with that.Hebrews 2:18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

FPC 199: Jesus Sympathizes With You

Distraction is all around us. Where doings it come from, how does it distract us? In this loving yet straight forward passage, Jesus corse corrects Peter and us as well.Matthew 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

FPC 198: Get Behind Me

There is this helpless feeling we all get when we can&apos;t earn something, this feeling is intensified when it comes to God.  We all would like to earn our salvation, but according to scripture it doesn&apos;t work that way...so what do we do?Psalm 51:16-17  You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart  you, God, will not despise.

FPC 197: We Can't Do Enough

There are so many messages out there, and it&apos;s really confusing at times.  Solomon is going to offer us some wisdom on what to do and who to trust.Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

FPC 196: Who Do You Trust?

We really hate facing ourselves, and if we can face ourselves...we&apos;re going to struggle to see and experience the fullness of Jesus&apos; love and sacrifice.Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

FPC 195: Deal With Your Sin

God loves you so much and is constantly calling out to us, but we are often blind to it.  Paul is a wonderful evangelist and intellect who is helping understand how God speaks.Romans 1:19-20 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

FPC 194: God Is Speaking To You

The jealous of God is something I&apos;ve struggle with since first hearing about it as a kid.  Do I want a jealous God?  My answer is" YES," praise God he is jealous.Exodus 34:14 For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

FPC 193: Jealous is God's Name

There are so many words in this word, and I am the chief offender of over using them.  Solomon is inviting us into a different way of seeing words.Proverbs 10:19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

FPC 192: Less Words Please

Where do I belong in this world?  This is a question that pains so many people...and David wants to help us understand the answer to that longing.Psalms 8:3-4 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,  what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

FPC 191: God Sees You

No matter how hard we try, we will not stop sinning...that&apos;s discouraging right???  What matters in the midst of this reality is who I believe Jesus to be.  Mark 14:38 "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

FPC 190: Willing and Weak

Meal time prayers really bother me...why do we do them?  Why do we rush through them?  This passage and podcast are going to invite us into the life giving worship that God deserves.1 Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”

FPC 189: Life Giving Thanks

I love Solomon...he knows we are struggling with how to live in this word, so he gives us this amazing picture of wisdom and folly.Proverbs 17:12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.

FPC 188: Bears and Folly
