Westside Church Spokane Podcast Cory Tobin

"God is in control." It's a phrase used by a lot of good-meaning, church-going believers. But, if God is in control, why is there such pain and suffering in the world? Is everything that is happening at the orchestration of the Almighty? Or, are there other forces at work and are there things God has placed in our hands to take responsibility over? Pastor Mark guides us through scripture to show us the life of faith and authority in Christ God has called us to live out.

God needs believers in places of influence. God is able to put knowledge and skills in you so you stand out above the crowd. The question is are we honoring Him? God will put you in places of influence where you have an impact in the culture and people’s lives.

There are times and seasons in our lives that can feel hopeless. Moments where it seems like we're not going to make it through. But, it's in those moments that test our trust in God. And He is always wanting to show up for us in those times. He is our provider. Not just when times are tough, but when the pressure is on. He is the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way. No matter the season, God provides.

Sometimes the place that God puts us in isn’t forever. Like Elijah, sometimes our brook of provision dries up. But God never leaves us to live in lack. He’s our provider and He has a place of provision for us. The question is, are we following where He’s leading us? Are we taking time to hear His voice?

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came to bring life and life more abundantly. But, the way the kingdom of darkness robs people of purpose and hope, kills their potential and desire, and ultimately brings destruction in life is primarily through the ungodly currents of culture. How do we recognize what is of God and what isn’t? Today, we talk about truth and the underlying agenda of the kingdom of darkness in our culture.

Because Jesus rose, we have a living hope! A hope that there is more than this life. A hope that Heaven isn’t a destination we will one day get to but a present reality waiting to flood every area of our lives. Jesus is our living hope!
