End Your Day STRONGER: Recent Episodes
People's Church Grande Prairie
With this we wrap up our Choose Life campaign. Today, we look over what we have learned and emphasize the absolute importance of having the right things guiding your life. In the end, it's our choice. What will you choose?
Yesterday we looked at what life looks like when we choose the wrong paths, but what can life look like at its peak? Today we look at the fruit of a healthy life and what that means for us. Let's dig in!
Today we take a look at sinful self interest. The directions we choose in life tell us a lot about our stance on God and the world around us. Let's delve deeper into what to look out for when our heart may not be aligned properly.
How do we build a true and authentic faith in Jesus? In a world that can be increasingly against our faith, it's important to be rooted in a God that leads us down the right paths. Let's explore this more.
What gate are we choosing in life? It's often hard to make the best choices in life, but if we learn to live by God's truth, we set ourselves up for the best. Let's talk on this more.
What is our relationship with truth? How we take the truth can determine how we grow in our faith. Together, let's focus on finding and accepting the full truth of God!
Fear can lead our paths in many different ways, even allowing us to take sides on matters that we shouldn't be a part of. As christians, we have already chosen our side. The eternal side. Today we talk about making our decisions based on that.
There are many ways we can feel discouraged in the world today. How can we stare in the face of these discouragements and still choose God and life? Today we look deeper into that.
Today we take a hard look into the word. The bible is God's voice into our lives, so what happens in our walk with God when we take leniencies towards it? Let's dive deeper into this topic!
What spiritual warfare is taking place in your life today? With any decision to take a step in our God given direction, there will be resistance from the enemy. Let's look at the tools we need to fight back!
Do we have an ever present spiritual curiosity? We must keep our hearts in the moment, focussed on what God is doing and where He is leading. Today, let's look more at this concept.
How can we make sure we don't miss out on the best that God has for us? Sometimes we get too caught up in waiting for God when He is actually pushing us to move forward in faith! Let's look at how to avoid missing out on these precious opportunities!
Sometimes, doors can be a trap from the enemy. Whether it is choosing harmful decisions, or simply choosing comfort above action, not all doors are beneficial to us. Today, let's look at choosing the doors God lays out for us.
What doors are we taking in life? Are we choosing what God has laid out for us, or are we getting held up by distractions? Today we look closer at this topic.
Courage is needed to truly choose the right doors in life, but what makes us courageous? Today we take a deeper look at how we can truly stand courageous in the journey of choosing life.
As we look into the future, sometimes it is fairly easy to get discouraged. It's so easy to focus on what is still to do that we forget how far we have already come. Let's celebrate together that we may not be where we wanted to be, but we are further ahead than we used to be!
We can get caught up in the business of the day-to-day, but where is our focus? With so many things that catch our attention, it's hard to set a definite focus in life. Today, let's look at the necessity of focus and how to truly achieve it.
What do we turn to when there is no where else to go? Do we go to God, or do we find reliance on other earthly things? Let's look deeper at the harmful cycles that we can find ourselves trapped in if we make the wrong choice.
We interact with a lot of different people on any given day, but who are we giving the power of influence? We must be clear on who we are giving lead in our life and who we are leading. Let's explore this thought more.
Every culture has its own set of morals that it abides by. Just as culture changes, that moral code does also. As christians, we are called to live by a different standard. Let's look at what that means for us!
Today we look more at condemnation; but more than that, we look at domination. What holds dominion over your life that is keeping you from living in the true spirit of God given freedom? Let's dive deeper!
Sometimes as believers, we can focus too much on the condemnation of our mistakes, rather than the grace we are given. If we have no condemnation in the eyes of God, why do we still choose to hold on to it? Let's look at this topic a bit more today!
Are we choosing the path that is best for ourselves and our futures, or simply choosing what is best in the moment? God gives us the perspective needed to prepare for the longer race. Let's look at that today.
Where are we choosing comfort when we need to be pushing out? Comfort will conflict with your values, but each of us has a choice to make in what we put first. Let's dig a bit deeper.
What do you value? Our values can determine key decisions in our life in both circumstances and relationships. Let's take a look into making sure those values are set right!
Sometimes, our indecisiveness on how to move forward can paralyze us. To forge ahead down the proper paths, we need to know what is worth leaving behind. Let's look at this concept further.
What beliefs do we hold today that are still based on pain? If not handled properly, pain can cause us to repeat our mistakes, hoping for different results. Today, let's look more at this process.
Today we continue to look at pain cycles. We are sent to be peacemakers in this world, which gives us a very big choice. Will we choose peace within the pain? Let's dig in.
Pain can be a big motivator, but can often motivate us in a bad way. How do we break out of pain cycles that push us to make negative decisions in our life? Today we dig into this.
Fear and other external voices can hold a real sway in our life if we let them. When faced with challenges, will we choose the limitations of fear, or the limitations of reality? Let's dig in.
In all things we do as christians, God makes it clear that our faith is based on choice! We can choose the same old familiar paths or we can choose to work towards something better.
Familiarity can be nice in the day to day, but it can also keep us from getting the best out of life. Today we look at the mindset that can trap us in the familiarity of our circumstances and how to break free into a new and better way of life!
Is there purpose in your abundance? Sometimes it is harder to live by faith when we are well off, simply because there is less need for reliance. Today we look at how God can bless us if we hold tight to him in the lacking and the plenty.
There is a difference between love and faith. You can love God and still not fully trust His word. What do your reactions to the circumstances of this life truly say about your faith? Today, we will dig a little deeper into this question.
Do you really believe? Even Jesus' disciples had doubts in the time between the death and the resurrection. Today we look at the nature behind this.
It's Good Friday! Let's take the time to dig deeper into the significance of this day together.
This is the day before Good Friday and with it comes Jesus' final passover meal with his disciples. Today, let's take a deeper look into what this truly signifies.
No matter what is coming or what has been, everyone has a choice in how to move forward. Even the disciples of Jesus had a choice to make in how they would receive Him. Today we take a look at Judas and his role in the Easter story.
When push comes to shove, what are we truly willing to put on the line? Today we look at the story of the widow who, instead of giving out of her surplus, gave everything she had to offer. Let's take a look at what that says about true faith.
It's passion week!! For the duration, we are continuing the story from Palm Sunday and looking at the events leading up to Good Friday. Let's start with Jesus' interactions at the temple.
What is the guiding force behind your decisions? Often times, the right path to take may be apparent to us, but what truly pulls us along that path? Today we take a deeper look into some of these questions.
One of the main oppositions to faith is pain. We can use pain as a means of growth, but if we allow it to lead, it can take us to some dark places. Today we look at moving forward in faith, even through the pains!
There is a big difference between consequences and condemnation, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. As christians, we are free from condemnation, but we still deal with the consequences. Today, let's look at how we process this.
Today we look more into Peter's walk with Jesus. As many failures as Peter had in his journey, all in all, he was sold out for God. And at the end of it all, he is confronted by that one big question... "Do you love me, Peter?" Let's explore this thought a bit more!
We all have choices to make in life, but some are certainly more important than others. When given the choice of mockery or salvation, the two thieves on the cross with Jesus made vastly different choices. As we start Stronger back up, let's look a bit deeper at the "Why" behind these choices.
