Welcome back to the Cross Points Podcast with Orah and David! Today, we're exploring the simple joys that brighten our daily lives. We start with a fun chat about our favorite emojis and what they reveal about us.

Then, we dive into how ordinary moments and gratitude can transform our outlook on life. Orah shares her incredible 365-day walking challenge and the mental health benefits of staying connected with nature.

We also discuss the power of keeping a gratitude journal. You'll hear inspiring Bible verses about joy and how finding joy in God enriches our lives. Plus, we have a light-hearted debate about which Bible characters we’d least like to hang out with. Join us for laughter, insights, and practical tips to embrace joy every day.

Fact Checks from This EpisodeIn this episode, Orah and David had a lively conversation that led to some interesting claims. Here’s a quick fact-check on those points:

Emoji Interpretation:

High Five Emoji: Often mistaken for praying hands, the 🙏 emoji is actually used as both "high five" and "prayer" in different contexts.

Melting Face Emoji: The 🫠 emoji represents a melting face, often used to express extreme heat, embarrassment, or discomfort.

365-Day Walking Challenge: Walking Every Day Benefits: Daily walking can improve cardiovascular health, boost mood, and reduce stress. Studies show it helps with mental health, similar to what Orah experienced.

Benefits of Walking in Nature: Being in nature reduces stress and improves mood, aligning with Aura’s description of her walking experience.

Sunlight Exposure and Health:

Sunlight and Health: Regular sun exposure is crucial for vitamin D synthesis, which is essential for bone health and immune function. Avoiding sun can indeed lead to health issues, comparable to the dangers of smoking in extreme cases.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):

Lack of sunlight exposure can lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression linked to changes in seasons, further supporting the benefits of getting outside.

Joy and Gratitude in the Bible:

Biblical References to Joy and Gratitude: Scriptures like Psalm 28:7 and Deuteronomy 28:47-48 emphasize the importance of joy and gratitude in serving God, aligning with David’s insights.

Christian Hedonism:

John Piper’s Concept: John Piper’s "Christian Hedonism" suggests that seeking joy in God is the ultimate goal, not just happiness in a worldly sense.

Happiness vs. Joy:

Difference Between Happiness and Joy: Happiness is often tied to external circumstances, while joy is deeper and more rooted in spiritual contentment, as discussed by Brené Brown and others.To stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchSpotify: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

Join Pastor Andy today.

Today’s Focus:This is the first part of a two-part series exploring the themes and symbols in Genesis. We’ll dive into three core characteristics of God’s covenant, starting with the promise.

Covenant Characteristic #1: PROMISE (Genesis 12:1-3)God’s promises to Abraham were monumental, involving blessings, fame, and a great nation. More importantly, these promises were about blessing the entire world. In Genesis 12:1-3, God invites Abram into a partnership with grand promises that would shape not just his life but all families on earth.

Reflections:

  • Dreams as Promises: Often, our deepest dreams are God’s promises in disguise. Just like the promise of fatherhood was embedded in Abram, our dreams can be seeds of God’s promises.
  • Personal Stories: I had dreams of marriage, fatherhood, and teaching. These dreams grew into realities, showing me that God’s promises are larger than we can imagine.
  • God’s Expanding Promise: Abraham’s promise wasn’t just for him; it was for all people. Likewise, God’s promises to us are meant to grow and bless beyond our individual lives.

As you reflect on today’s message, remember that God’s promises are bigger than your dreams. And even if they seem overwhelming, trust in His unwavering faithfulness.

Martin Luther King Jr -

“There was a time when the church was very powerful, in the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society.”

During COVID, death is all around us but very few people are talking about what happens after death. Join Pastor David and Chris as they discuss what happens when you die.

Heaven by Randy Alcorn https://smile.amazon.com/Heaven-Randy-Alcorn/dp/0842379428/ref=sr_1_2?crid=FGEHBFLELOX3&dchild=1&keywords=heaven+randy+alcorn&qid=1603388317&sprefix=heaven+rand%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-2

Luke 23:40-43 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

John 14:1-3 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Hebrews 9:27 “It is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgement.”

Revelation 20:11-12 11 And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.
