Coastal Church Podcast

<p>In this special Mother’s Day message, Pastors Dave and Cheryl take a look at Jochebed, the mother of Moses, who had just a few short years with her son, yet the impact she left is still felt today.</p>

<p>Jesus called His followers to avoid judgement without the right attitude, the right information and the right process.</p>

<p>Pastor Chris Karuhije shows us what the bible says about fear and anxiety.</p>

<p>We examine the Lord's prayer and Pastor Dave teaches on why Jesus gave us the model to pray from.</p>

<p>Because Jesus lives is the theme of the Easter story and our Christian faith. In this message Pastor Dave shares how our response should be like those who first saw Jesus, to bow and worship Him as King of Kings!</p>

<p>Pastor Fermin Garcia brings a powerful word titled "Giving It All Away" this Palm Sunday.</p>

<p>In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus puts our behaviour through the sieve of motivation to remove hypocrisy and greed.</p>

<p>In this Inspiring message Pastor Dave outlines the biblical way to deal with: 1. Being Insulted 2. Being Sued 3. Being taken advantage of 4. Being solicited for funds</p>

<p>A covenant is based on trust; a contract is based on distrust. A covenant is based on unlimited responsibility; a contract is based on limited liability. A covenant cannot be broken if new circumstances occur; a contract can be voided by mutual consent.</p>

<p>Jesus starts the Sermon on the Mount with a description of kingdom people; a people of character who will live differently than the world around them when it comes to dealing with issues like anger and sex.</p>

<p>If we understand our identity as salt and light, we will have a profound effect in a broken world.</p>

<p>In the broken world we live in, we will all have an opportunity to make a choice to stand up for righteousness and be a peacemaker.</p>

<p>The world today is desperately looking for justice. Jesus in the Sermon on the Mountain gave us three beatitudes that give us guidance on how to live justly in a broken world.</p>

<p>Jesus' Sermon On The Mount is a moral code from another kingdom, for His followers to live be in a broken world</p>

<p>In order to move ONWARDS in the things that God has called us to do, we need to choose not just what is good, but what is BEST!</p>

<p>Each one of us has been given a race to run by God. It is discipline that determines how we finish. Discipline is choosing between what we want now and what we want most.</p>

<p>And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.</p>

<p>It is natural to desire the approval of others, but if we choose to live for "likes", we will not fulfill the purpose God has for us.</p>

<p>God has been good to us in 2016 and as we look forward into 2017 He is calling us to press onwards together in this journey of faith.</p>

<p>A gift reflects personality, resources, commitment, thoughtfulness and sacrifice. Ultimately it is an expression of love. When God gave us Jesus, it truly reflected God's great love for every home in the world.</p>

<p>There is nothing like coming home for Christmas and being welcomed with special preparations made with you in mind. Jesus went to prepare the ultimate home for all of us.</p>

<p>In a broken world, it is possible to lose your way. The wise men gave us a lesson in faith in how to follow God’s light to the ultimate home.</p>

<p>Christmas is about love coming down and touching every home. It is a faith-filled story with love flowing from the characters, which leads to the climax of God’s love in sending His Son.</p>

<p>In chapter four we find the Epitaph that Paul chose; “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”</p>
