Could you stand trial for your faith and be found guilty based on the evidence of your daily life? Our latest discussion in Romans chapter 3 invites you to reflect deeply on this question, urging listeners to scrutinize not just the presence of faith in their lives, but its active expression through love and service. We unravel the joyous gratitude owed to our salvation and challenge you to remember the last time you truly thanked Jesus for the redemption offered to you. It's a call to navigate beyond the superficial markers of belief and step into a journey marked by a genuine, unwavering commitment to the transformative power of grace.

As we delve into the fabric of community service and personal sacrifice, I share stories from our own initiatives – including a marriage conference and parenting classes – and the deep sense of purpose we find in these acts. Our conversation pivots around the delicate dance of faith and works, recognizing that our deeds are not a currency for salvation but rather a reflection of our gratitude for it. By sharing anecdotes from our own ministry, such as the tale of delayed picnic tables that sparked communal action, we explore the essence of what it means to serve our community faithfully and uphold the law out of reverence, not as a means to an end.

We conclude with a meditation on the paradox of grace: saved by it yet called to live in a way that honors the gospel. I recount a personal fishing trip to illustrate perseverance and relate it to the larger theme of striving in our spiritual and everyday lives. This episode is a heartfelt plea for strength and transformation, so we can embody the grace we've received and honor the teachings and sacrifices that pave our way. Join us for an honest, reflective conversation on living a life that truly embodies the heart of the gospel.

Dive deep into the heart of spiritual transformation as we uncover the path to a true relationship with God, beyond the confines of religious law. This episode promises a profound exploration of faith, grace, and the lordship of Jesus Christ, offering not just understanding but practical guidance for anyone seeking to walk in divine purpose. Join us for a heartfelt conversation on Romans 3, where we grapple with the seemingly insurmountable barrier of sin, and celebrate the boundless redemption available through Christ's sacrifice.

This week, we shatter the illusion of self-reliance in achieving salvation, probing into the apostle Paul's teachings that righteousness stems from faith—a commitment that runs far deeper than mere belief. We bridge the gap between the Old and New Testaments, delving into Jesus's identity and the fulfillment of ancient prophecies, and unpack the significance of living for others, a reflection of Christ's ultimate example of selflessness and humility. Our narrative isn't just for absorbing; it's an invitation to act, to transform one's life in the mold of Christ's love.

We culminate with an enlightening discourse on propitiation, drawing parallels between the mercy seat of the Old Testament and the grace we receive through Christ. As we unpack this complex theological concept, I share personal reflections, urging listeners to appreciate the grace bestowed upon us and extend it to others in our daily interactions. This episode isn't just a lesson; it's a call to seize the day, to realign our lives with the core tenets of Christianity, and to embrace the pressing urgency of reconciling with God. An episode for seekers, believers, and the spiritually curious alike, offering prayerful guidance for those yearning to deepen their connection to the divine.

Ever wonder how much power lies in truly honoring God? This episode makes a deep dive into Romans 1, revealing the direct connection between our behaviors, passions, and the level of respect we have for the Creator. We also uncover the potentially devastating effects of endorsing practices we know to be fundamentally wrong. This conversation is a wake-up call to everyone who finds themselves overlooking the importance of fully acknowledging God in their lives.

We then challenge our imagination's boundaries. Can we design a creature that has never been seen before? Drawing from John's vision in Revelation 4, we try to describe the indescribable. However, life seems to be a repetitive cycle, and the quest to find something completely new can be daunting. Using Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb as an example, we explore the spiritual implications of not recognizing God as the ultimate source of light and innovation. We also highlight the moral accountability that comes with this realization.

Finally, we shift our gaze towards marriage, that sacred institution designed by God Himself. Ephesians 5 provides the blueprint of how our marriages should look like, and we explore the necessity of daily salvation and the challenges that arise when marriage is not used as God intended. The conversation concludes with a much-needed prayer for renewal in marriages, individuals, and children, and a plea for a greater presence of God in our lives. Join us for this faith-filled journey of introspection, challenge, and growth.

In this message we start exploring a new series called Life. In our first message we look at micro vs macro relationships. Which is more important, where should we focus?  If we want to be healthy and growing as a church where should we spend more resources? If we want to be healthy and growing as individuals which one is more important? What are the differences between micro and macro relationships? So if you want some thought provoking ideas of what we think is important take a listen. #loveisaverb #deltona #jesussaves #volusiacounty #micro #macro #reachtheworld 

In this message we look at Paul's first trip to the city of Corinth. We seek to answer the big question, "Are we afraid, or do we believe Jesus is done saving?"  Paul spent 1 year and a half in Corinth preaching, and teaching to one of the most wicked cities he went to. Yet, many believed, many came to know Jesus. Why do we think our cities are too far gone? What keeps us from doing the same? #loveisaverb #volusiacounty #deltona #jesussaves #jesuschrist

What does Paul's encounter with the Athenians teach about us about interacting with the culture of today? That we should!! Paul enters Athens, which is a very secular city, and debates the professional thinkers about life, God, and reality. This is an area the church really needs to get better at, stop telling people their wildest dreams can come true, and start actually entering into the conversation with people about who Jesus really is!
