You Are From God

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOur sense of confidence and gain can come from so many places. But Paul shares from personal experience that those things don't bring true, lasting joy. We continue in Philippians to see why giving up any worldly gain is worth laying hold of the surpassing worth of gaining Christ.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallPursuing genuine joy requires that we set our interests in line with Jesus's interests. This involves embracing holiness through Christ Himself, as well as loving service to and sacrifice for other people.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallJesus was the most important person in every room he ever walked into. And yet, the King of kings sought to care for and serve every other soul in those rooms. This is the humility that Jesus's followers must have.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe struggle to find joy in circumstances that are not ideal. But true, Biblical joy comes from responding to situations and making decisions with a mind to pursue and proclaim Jesus--come what may.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe have discussed the principle of Biblical joy on this program before. Today we begin a series that will take us through Paul's letter to the Philippians in an effort to examine how Paul (from prison!) teaches fellow Christians to choose joy and demonstrates this practice himself.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Tyler Hall and Steven MatthewsOn this episode, special guest Steven Matthews joins us to discuss the story of David and Goliath and apply lessons from this timeless event to our spiritual battles today.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe treat time like money: we try to save it, we seek to invest it, and we want to avoid wasting it. This precious resource comes from our Creator, and He will hold us accountable for how we choose to use it.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOne of the ways we make sense of our world is through comparisons. We naturally analyze similarities and differences between two things and, correctly or otherwise, come away with conclusions. But what happens when we base our sense of self-esteem and -value on comparing ourselves to other people? Jesus teaches us a better way.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor, Tyler Hall, and We recently sat down with Hal Hammons from the Citizen of Heaven podcast and recorded a few episodes about Biblical character. This episode is the beginning of that conversation, and we hope you enjoy listening to it! You can find our full conversation with Hal released over the first few days of September over on his podcast: halhammons.buzzsprout.com

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe have spoken much about living out our hope in Jesus Christ without shame. The motivation for this comes from knowing that God is not ashamed of us, but wants to lift us up and fulfill all His amazing promises to us in Christ.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallFollowing Jesus comes with sharing in his suffering. But we are reminded that we shouldn't feel shame about these ordeals; rather, they provide an opportunity to show our allegiance to the Lord while leaning on Him for strength.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallGod says in His word that faith is a building process. As we did in our recent Vacation Bible School, we consider a few Old Testament characters who demonstrate the qualities that amplify our faith in God and His promises.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallBelieving in God and living a life according to the pattern of Bible truth may bring disapproval from the world around you. But the Lord tells His children that they have no need to be ashamed of following Him.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOne man in ancient Israel thought his sin didn't make a big difference in the conquest of Canaan. Yet his error, and downfall from there, impress powerful lessons on us as readers regarding how we think about sin and what it means to break faith with the Lord.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallAs the Lord concludes the proclamation of His name to Moses in Exodus 34, He reveals His heart to forgive as well as His unwavering sense of justice. Rather than contradicting each other, these final two traits open our eyes to our greatest need and God's greatest solution.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThe kindness and faithfulness of God overflows to humankind. He is consistent in these qualities, which makes Him the source of the greatest and most reliable hope we could ever imagine.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallGod is slow to anger. What does that mean, and how can we as His image-bearing people manage our human emotions in the same way?

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIf you want to know what God is like, you must learn the meaning of both mercy and grace. These two qualities bring God's love to practical bearings on both human history and our individual lives. As those who bear His image, we must learn to practice and grow in these characteristics as well.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallMoses asks God to see His glory. The Lord tells Moses that He'll make His goodness pass before him. Both the glory and the goodness of Yahweh are revealed as He proclaims His name, the LORD, to his servant on Mount Sinai. What do we learn about our Creator from this encounter?

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallJesus calls us to put others before ourselves. This is a never-ending effort, and we must constantly self-reflect to keep our egos and prejudices in check. Today we dig into a passage of Scripture that prompts three questions to help us slow down and rein in selfish motives and attitudes.
