On Bearing Witness, we will be focusing on story. Life and faith are journeys, and along the way we meet people, experience things and hopefully learn something. Each of us has a unique story that interacts with others’ stories and all of us are a part of God’s big story, whether we realize it or not. Hear brave, honest, challenging sermons from the Reverend Dr. Corey Johnsrud. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bearingwitness/support

Episode 139 - Unfinished Christmas - Repent
Mark 1:1-8 Prepare the Way. We all come to Jesus the same way - through repentance. Not by where we were born, who our family is, what we belong to... So, what do we need to wake up to? Where is God trying to do a new thing? What is it we need in order to wake up and repent so the God can use us?

Episode 138 - Unfinished Christmas - Watch
Instead of being concerned with When the return of Christ is: Keep Watch - Be Alert (not in fear but in attention). Keep at your assigned task of Loving God & Loving Others. Be about Jesus' business.

Episode 137: Fear/Faith - Greed
Luke 12:13-31 - Life does not consist of an abundance of possessions. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Greed & covetiousness are so pervasive in a culture/economy based on more, more, more, consume, consume, consume. We stock up and build bigger barns because we worry that there won't be enough. This is fear turned to greed. The antidote is gratitude & trust that there will always be enough, as God promises.

Episode 136: Fear/Faith - Saul & Annanias
Acts 9: Absurd Commands but God asks us to do it anyway. There are 3 shifts: Persecutor to Chosen Instrument, Only for Israel to For the Gentiles too, Prominence to Suffering. Obedient faith goes, even with the fear. The pattern: Pray, Answer, Go.

Episode 135: Fear/Faith - Jesus & the Storm
If we seek to build a Christian Nation, we are not seeking to build the Kingdom of God - we're only building ourselves. If Jesus had wanted to build a Christian nation, He would have done it then. He would not have waited until now and left if up to us! While we're walking on the water, amidst the chaos, Jesus reaches out to save us.
