When it comes to the big decisions in our life, we are bent towards depending on ourselves. We do not like putting our faith in God.

Numbers 13 + 14 CSB

6 Promises of God to hold onto this week   

He promises to give us wisdom if we ask (James 1:5). 

He promises to provide a way out of temptation  (1 Cor. 10:13). 

He promises that our salvation is secure, no  matter what (John 10:28–29). 

He promises to never leave us nor forsake us  (Heb. 13:5). 

He promises to finish the good work he has begun  in us (Phil. 1:6). 

He promises to come back (Luke 12:40)

I remember years ago I told my grandpa I hated that I never got to hear him preach. He then took me to his storage shed, pulled out a tote full of cassette tapes and handed it to me.

I'm not a sentimental person at all, but those tapes are some of my prized possessions.

In an effort to carry on Grandpa Larry's legacy I will be releasing one of his sermons every month on my podcast. Here is part one of "Renewing Your Mind."

Show notes:

Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him."

Luke 6:30-34 "30 Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. 31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you.32 “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! 34 And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return."

Matthew 6:19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

In this episode I discuss a few controversial questions Christians like to fight about. Questions like; "should Christians drink? Should they listen to secular music?"  But I think when it comes to this question there's one very important thing people aren't thinking about.

What an incredible interview with Brock Barcus where we discuss how to make your goals last 10+ years!

Memorable quotes:

"It's shifted from how we can satisfy ourselves, to how can we satisfy the needs of our audience."

"I was scared, I was just making what I thought people wanted."

"This thing started to grow when we stopped caring what people thought about our sound."

"If I could go back in time, I would say; pour into people. Put people first. The bills will get paid."

"At the end of the day, does our t-shirt make a difference?"

"I have wasted 8 years of my life doing this the wrong way."
