That's Grace Podcast - WB Grace Church

Have you ever been convinced you knew exactly what you needed, even if it went against good advice? Our instant gratification culture tells us if we want something, we should go after it ourselves. But focusing on our desires and ignoring the warning signs can lead us to bad places. In this week’s video, we see ancient Israel convinced they know what’s best, despite God's warnings. Through this story, we’ll uncover wisdom that can help us navigate these challenges and place our confidence in God’s guidance and plans above our own desires.

In a world that often encourages us to chase our dreams and ambitions at any cost, it's easy to get swept up in the pursuit of our own desires. After all, isn't following our passions a good thing? In this video, we explore a story from the Bible of a man whose unchecked ambition and pride led to devastating consequences. Through his cautionary example, we'll discover how society's messages about success and achievement can sometimes blind us to the true state of our hearts. We'll learn valuable lessons about examining our own desires and ambitions, and how to align them with God's will. But here's the good news: despite our failures and shortcomings, God can still use our missteps to teach us important lessons and guide us back to His path.

Struggling with doubts and fears can make us believe that we are an unlikely candidate for God to use. It's hard to imagine God working through us when we're struggling to trust Him, let alone dealing with our own fears and inadequacies. But what if we’re wrong? In this video, we dive into the Bible to examine the story of a man who struggled with doubt and fear in the face of overwhelming odds. Through his journey, we discover that the difference maker in our lives isn't our own strength or faith, but the presence of God with us. We see how God patiently works with us through our questions and insecurities, and how each step of obedience, no matter how small, can lead us to a deeper trust in Him.

What if God chose you to do something extraordinary? Most of us would feel very unqualified or unprepared. It's easy to doubt ourselves because of our past, present struggles, or feelings of inadequacy. But what if God wasn't looking for the most skilled, perfect, or confident person? What if He just needed someone willing to trust Him? In this video, we explore the story of Deborah, and see unlikely heroes from the Bible who faced overwhelming odds. Through their journey, we'll discover that God delights in using ordinary people to accomplish His purposes and gain some powerful lessons that can move our faith into action.

It would be great if we could be confident in every decision we make. Unfortunately, the reality is that we all struggle with the fear of making the wrong choice and failing and so often, we are just frozen by indecision which can lead us to a life of regret and missing the life God has planned for us. So how can we navigate these times of uncertainty and indecision in a way that pleases God and minimizes regrets? In this video, we’ll see from the Bible how we can lean on God’s guidance and wisdom in these times and how we can develop the courage to move forward even when the path ahead seems unclear.

When we come face to face with the storms of life —challenges, difficulties, and uncertainties can leave us feeling overwhelmed and shake our faith. So how can we still cling to God’s peace and strength even if everything around us is telling us to freak out? In this video, we’ll see that even God’s own people were not immune from doubts and fear, but from these stories we can draw powerful lessons that can help us hold onto hope even when the path ahead seems bleak and uncertain. Whether you're currently facing a storm or seeking to strengthen your faith for future challenges, this message will provide the encouragement and guidance you need to navigate life's ups and downs better.
