(32:04) Isn’t praying “thy will be done” better than our own specific requests? Shouldn’t we just trust God? What if my prayers are in opposition to what God’s plans are? For example, I want someone healed but God wants to bring that person home to Him?(35:03) How specific do our prayer requests need to be? Is praying for a person’s healing sufficient or do I need to go into details about what they are suffering from? (36:56) How often do we need to pray about the same issue/topic?

He could have chosen any animal, but why this one?(20:20) We talked about how worrying doesn’t help the situation…worrying cannot add a day to your life. For someone who is consumed with anxiety or worry, what should they do in that moment they are overwhelmed? What does it practically look like to “Run to God?”(23:11) Could you speak into the concern that casing our cares on God is selfish?(27:28) God says, “I’m your father” so many times. Do you want to expound on the significance of that phrase to His teaching about worry?(30:00) Jesus ended with “Oh ye of little faith”. What are some practical ways we can respond when we recognize that our trust in God is weak, and how does the Lord grow our faith?(30:49) What impact do our prayers have?(31:47) What Jesus tells us to seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, what is He asking us to prioritize?(34:16) Can you unpack what it looks like to trust God for what we need today without taking on the weight of tomorrow(41:14) Celebration: Care Ministry

    Episode 68 | New Sound Effects, Cheat Meals, Gen Z Disconnect, and Storing Treasure in Heaven

    (0:30) We got some new sounds! (3:00) Question of the Day: You get a cheat day to eat all of the things you love that aren’t good for you. What are you eating? (9:38) Off Topic Topic: Lifeway Research Study found that Gen Z churchgoers attend church more often than any other generation and are among the most likely to serve and participate in small groups. Yet there is a disconnect when it comes to living out their faith. 52% say that when they have to choose between God’s way and their own way, they usually choose their own and 43% said reading the Bible hasn’t made a significant difference in the way they live their life. (18:04) Discussion & Member Questions: On Sunday, Steve mentioned the did ache. Can you tell us more about what that is and do you recommend reading it? Thanks! (21:32) Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (24:00) It seemed like one of the biggest takeaways is that this passage isn’t just about money, but about anything we treasure here on earth. Could you unpack that a little more? What are some examples of those things, besides finances, that people commonly treasure maybe without even realizing it?(29:37) Can we talk about our perception of earthly treasure or of wealth? Steve, you talked about how if we make $20,000/year we are wealthier than 85% of the world. Can we unpack that a little more and the effects of our perception of treasure?(32:10) What does it look like to change your relationship with money if someone has been storing up treasures on earth for the wrong reasons?(37:07) Steve you talked about this, but what are the dangers of misinterpreting this passage or taking it too far in believing we should not be comfortable or have anything of value on earth?(36:49) Celebration: Chapel Women

    (00:37) What is your middle name? (4:35) Question of the Day:  If you could instantly become an expert in one thing, what would you want it to be? (11:27) Off Topic Topic: Will Currier - Youth Area Update(17:05) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about (22:57) How do we balance the “meaningless repetitions” in our prayer with Jesus’s parable about the unrighteousness judge and how he instructs us to cry out to him day and night? Insinuating that petitioning God over and over again does have a direct effect on God answering us.(25:03) I was raised Catholic and taught that the way to pray is by saying scripted prayers, often being the Lord’s Prayer, as you spoke about this week, and also the Catholic rosary repeating this and other scripted prayers (AKA: the Hail Mary that is not found in scripture) word for word, often done in group settings. What are the benefits to the practice of reciting scripted prayers, alone and in a group?(29:02) is there a misunderstanding between our feelings and the heart?(30:26) The will can act apart from the temperature of the heart” - Is it possible to fully forgive without feeling that forgiveness at all?(35:05) Let’s talk more about vv. 14-15. (42:55) The sixth request “lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil” seems like it contradicts James 1:13 “Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone”- can we talk about how to think about temptation?(46:50) The passage talks about those praying out in public because they want to be seen.

Does this mean God desires something that cannot be fulfilled?(18:17) Discussion & Member Questions: Let’s recap what we covered on Sunday just to remind everyone what it was about1.

We’re moving here from Texas. I would like to have clarification. When you talked about people born eunuchs, you said it could mean people born with same sex attraction. Does that mean you think people are born gay?(35:15) My question is, since Jesus’ answer to the pharisees in Matt. 5:31-32 was not an exhaustive list, but only one example, then how do we know that there aren’t more than the three exceptions to remarriage (porneia, abandonment, and death) given on Sunday?(40:22) Could we spend a little more time talking about abuse with this idea of divorce?(45:02) What level of sexual immorality is valid for divorce? Are there levels?(48:38) Closing Thoughts - All About the Heart(43:55) Celebration: Sent couple seeing 3 men saved and baptized!
