    God's promise of Answered Prayer, and His promise of Heaven

    What do our prayers to God look like? Little prayers, big prayers. Are our thoughts the same as God’s thoughts?  When it comes to prayers, is our timing best, or is God’s timing best? Is our will best or His will? Prayer, surrender, trust - it’s all part of this episode. What about the Promise of heaven? He has a place for you! Jesus talks a lot about heaven in the Bible. We're discussing His viewpoint today. And hear the description of heaven as described in the book of Revelation. Focusing on eternity in heaven is exciting! What is the promise of heaven?

    God's promise to Sustain Us, and His promise of Peace

    There are so many of God’s promises in the Bible.  We’re talking about two of God’s promises in this episode:  God’s promise to always be with us and Sustain Us, and God’s promise of Peace. And who are God’s promises for? Those who believe in Jesus. It’s so good to focus on God’s promises, especially when we come up against hard things in life. Struggles, weariness, anxiety, trials. How do we handle it? What does God say? He says that He won’t let the righteous be shaken. How comforting it is, when we put our trust in Him. Hear practical life examples and applications in this episode. Then tune in to the next episode when we share two more of God's promises!

    Abiding in Christ through works

    Jesus tells us to abide in Him as we live our life. What does that look like? And how do our works relate to abiding in Christ? There are works and then there are works.  True or False: I do good things so I’m going to heaven.  This topic today is from a sermon entitled “Living Faith = Living Works.” After listening to the sermon, Bethany and Carol are discussing their takeaways in this episode. Hear about James and Paul and their teaching on works. Hear about our position in Christ verses our practice in Christ. Listen to real-life examples from Bethany and Carol, and scripture story examples, of abiding in Christ through faith.  Discussions on the gift of Salvation, faith, repentance, and living works. We’re diving into good stuff today! Can we ever be ‘good enough’ like Jesus? No way! But that’s where we repent of our sins (when we mess up), and he forgives us. It’s truly a condition of our heart. Ask yourself: How am I living out my faith in Christ (Abiding in Christ)? Scripture references: James 2:14-26 (Our works) Matthew 7:7-8 James 1:2-4 Hebrews 11 (Hall of Fame of the Faithful) Matthew 7:21 (The will of my Father) John 6:40 Join the conversation on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/PourOutYourJoy/Facebook

    Overcoming Overwhelm: Psalm 23

Maybe it’s just for a season, or maybe longer.  Psalm 23 is our helpful scripture today for when we become overwhelmed.  We’re touching on all the points in the 23rd Psalm, written by David. He writes about the Lord as our Shepherd. As believers in Christ, we are His sheep.  Through this Psalm, we see how God helps us as we walk through overwhelming times.  Become enlightened as you listen to this episode with Bethany and Carol.
