@JasonHouck Write out your obituary as you WANT it to read in 20 years or so. Add it all: family, skills, travel -- everything you'd love to accomplish. Highlight all the parts you haven't done yet and get to work!

Life is temporary. We all know we don't get out of here alive!
But we seldom LIVE like we know it. As we delve into Ecclesiastes, Solomon says trust and spiritual wisdom are the keys to living -- and ending -- a satisfying life.

@dailyspurgeon Because the #VisualSermon was about meekness, we focused on songs about the strength & power of Jesus
Lion of Judah
I'm Fighting a Battle
Great and Mighty King
King of Kings, Majesty

Seek to be meek -- the most misunderstood of all Christian virtues. Jesus calls us to meekness, so we'd better know what it is — and isn't.
Here's our worship service and #VisualSermon on being meek -- not mild!

@dailyspurgeon Roman roads!
Everyone is walking a road that inevitably leads to a meeting with God. This week we compared the Roman roads that helped spread Christianity with the one to our Creator.

To wrap up our mini-series on Joseph, God's providence and our own life journeys, we asked our church to share a bit of their stories for Sharing Sunday and they didn't disappoint!

Sharing from those who permitted recording, begins at 26:30.

@dailyspurgeon A kind of strange one: we've been looking at the spiritual markers that represent God's direction in our lives and all the "coincidences" (a la Joseph) that brought us to Him.

As we close our series on Joseph, and an exercise to map our spiritual markers, we look at some of the significant events in your spiritual formation -- green genes and blue genes!

We did a series on Joseph, and now we're asking: could God be working a complex plan in YOUR life right now?
This is Part 1 of examining how God is working in your life through specific people and events to create your spiritual DNA.

Incidence or coincidence?
Evidence or providence?
God moves in a way that's never accidental and we see that with Joseph.
Have you learned to see God's fingerprints in your life?

We've all learned a LOT about division in the last few years. Pandemic views, politics, health, education -- everyone has strong views. Jesus entered a divided world of Pharisees/Sadducees. How did he handle it?

@dailyspurgeon Grace and Jeffrey Dahmer!
God's amazing grace is SO important, we should learn all we can about it, so our worship today was all grace-centred.

Some churches fear and ignore it.
Other believers use it as an excuse to do whatever they want.

What does it mean to be 'holy'? How do we become holy? Or stay holy?
You may know 'holy' means “set apart for the service of God” so we're talking holiness - being set apart - together!

A sermon from Pastor Rick Gamble is like watching a mini-movie! Check out our our channel where there are dozens of #VisualSermons on topics from miracles, death, time, judging, sin, kindness & the churches of Revelation to heaven, habits & resilience.

@dailyspurgeon The overwhelming and very individual love of God for ME! (Rather than our understanding about how God loves the whole world)
The #VisualSermon was about Jesus's lost and found parables. It starts at 36:40

[Followers of Christ @FollowersBtfd]

Sure ... we understand God loves the whole world but we have a lot of trouble believing God loves ME! This #OnlineWorship is all about God's love for us as individuals. You can take it personally!

@ChurchServ_Live
Studies show you complain 15-30 times a day and may not even realize you're grumbling! Our #OnlineWorship focuses on spiritual negativity and its effect because complaining is a “critical” issue https://t.co/2iYWZOebIs #VisualSermon starts at 27:00

@dailyspurgeon It was 'Anti-Complaining Worship'!
🎼To God Be the Glory
🎼We Are One in the Spirit
🎼The Goodness of God
🎼Shine on Us
