    All That Glitters Isn't Gold

    Welcome to the Ignite Podcast. In today's episode Kaitlyn, Community Center Director, and Kennon, Community Center friend, discuss the topic of greed from a Biblical perspective.  According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, greed is: "A selfish & excessive desire for more of something than is needed." Kaitlyn shares about a YouTube video made by Sam Pepper that demonstrated how those with little are actually more generous than those that have more.  Kennon shares of his experience being homeless & how he's seen greed in others that are unwilling to extend a helping hand to him. He shares, "I'm happier not having a lot of money. God gave me enough - He's more than enough." Verses mentioned include: Life is not measured by how much you own. -Luke 12:15 Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless. -Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live. -Proverbs 15:27 Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. -Proverbs 11:28 Questions to consider: What's driving you to succeed? What's motivating you? ABC's of Salvation: The A is for admit you've done wrong The B is for believe that Jesus died for our sins And the C is for calling on His name by asking Jesus to come into your heart. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 Until next time, Ignite your life!

    #46: Spiritual Transformation

    Join Kaitlyn and Community Center friend, Kennon, as they discuss their experiences with growing in their faith.  Verses in today's episode include: Ezekiel 36:26 - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Romans 12:2 - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Psalms 139:23-24 - Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Jeremiah 32:38-40 - They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me. The two most powerful ways we can grow in our faith include reading the Bible and praying. Kennon talks on 5 additional ways to promote spiritual transformation in our lives: 1. Turning from things that are not of God 2. Tithing  3. Seeking new experiences  4. Looking ahead rather than focusing on the past 5. Forgiving others and ourselves ABC's of Salvation: The A is for admit you've done wrong The B is for believe that Jesus died for our sins And the C is for calling on His name by asking Jesus to come into your heart. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23 Until next time, Ignite your life!
