Origins Greenville: Recent Episodes
Admin
Today, we kicked off our Philippians series. We begin by looking at Paul's first journey to Philippi in Acts 16, and then we cover the first 11 verses in Philippians. Thanks for joining us!
Who loves money? It is quite possible that everyone struggles with or has struggled with loving money or stuff a bit more than we should. Jesus is not caught off-guard by our love for our stuff and money. How do we handle it? What do we do? Join us this week as we look at how Jesus and the Bible addresses this for us!
We are in week 2 of our "The Gospel and Money," series, and today we look at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. We see Jesus taking one last opportunity to teach His followers about the Kingdom by talking about "money." Since this is a parable, the talents in this story can represent several things, including money. That will be our focus today. Thanks for tuning in!
In Mark 15 it is Friday morning; the day of the Cross. The morning begins with another trial. Thanks for listening as we look at the events, people, and words leading up to the tragedy and victory of the Cross.
Jesus was in Jerusalem and on His way to the cross. Before getting there, He took time to teach on they way and in the Temple.
What an exciting morning! Today, we get to look at and talk through the birth of our Lord and Savior. While this is something we talk about frequently, the Christmas season offers us the chance to celebrate it especially well! Join us as we Celebrate Jesus and His coming to earth!
Christmas is almost upon us! This week we take a look at when Mary learned that she would be giving birth to the Son of God in Luke 1.
This morning we are looking at a short, but very critical passage in Mark. Join us as Jesus asks His disciples a very important question!
Thanks for joining us today! You will notice that things do not sound ideal today! That is because our equipment trailer was stolen last week, so today was all about using what we could find! We hope to be back to "normal" in the coming weeks!
We hopped back into our Mark series today as we look at the events following the feeding of the multitude (the first one). Thank you for joining us as we reading about Jesus seeing us and coming near!

We continue our series, "Mark: The Jesus We Need," as we look at Mark 6:7-13. Today, we see Jesus modeling a crucial part of our discipleship journey with His disciples. Also, it is a 3rd Sunday, so we get to interview someone from the Origins family as means of hearing their story! Thanks for joining us today.
What an amazing passage! In mark 5:21-43 we get an amazing example of what Faith really looks like when put into action. Thanks for joining in and listening!
Today, we begin by interviewing one of our Origins families about their relationship with Jesus. After, we jump into Mark 5:1-20 and look what happens when Jesus frees a man from a Legion of demons. Thanks for joining us!

We jumped back into our Mark series today. We hope you will listen in as we talk about The Family being further evidence of God's Grace being displayed on His people.

Today, we begin our series in Mark. While Mark 1:1-15 can serve as an Intro in what's to come, it also serves as a great reminder of who Jesus is! Thanks for joining us today!
With everything going on around the world, we felt the need to gather and pray. We would love for you to listen and pray along with us!
As we wrap up our #influencers series, we look at the the Influence that should be held and displayed by the Church.
Pastor Zack walks us through how the Gospel influenced the Early Church as well as our Church today!
We continue our #influencers series this week and look at 2 Timothy 2:15-26. Paul's influence to Timothy can clearly be seen and is incredibly applicable to us today.
This week, we look to David, and ask the tough question, "What do we do when one of our influencers falls?"
Over the past several weeks we have looked at several different #influencers throughout scripture. We have asked questions like "What happens with unused influence," and "Why did Moses listen to Jethro?" This week we look at "why was Samuel's influence ignored?"
This week we look at an exchange between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro. The biggest question we hope to answer is, "Why did Moses trust the influence of Jethro?" and what does it mean for us?
This week we will be walking through 1 John 5:6-12. We are approaching the end of 1 John, and this week we get the sense that John is using a very Reading Rainbow'ish statement of, "You don't have to take my word for it."
Thank you for listening in! Today we find ourselves in 1 John 3:19-24. We will be looking at 2 different places that we as believers may find ourselves in: a place of self-condemnation or a place of confidence in our Savior.
Thank you for joining us for our series in 1 John. Today, we will be talking about LOVE! There are things we need to know and things we need to do.
This week in our 1 John series, we look at Ch 2:28-3:10. The question arises, "Can a Christ-follower sin?"
We jumped back into our series in 1 John this week. Join us as we look at 1 John 2:18-27.
Thanks for tuning in to our first Worship Gathering of 2021! Today we use Lamentations 3 to springboard us into setting some goals for 2021.
This week, we are wrapping up our 2020 Advent season as we talk about Joy! Join us as we celebrate the joy that only Jesus can bring!
This week we take a look at an amazing conversation between Jesus and a Pharisee named Nicodemus. This conversation leads to one of the most often quoted verses in the entire Bible. In order for us to understand this well-known verse, it is important for us to understand why and how it came up!
We are continuing our "Conversations" series this week as we take a look at an exchange between Jesus and a Rich, Young Ruler.
We are in week 2 of our "Conversations," series, and we will be looking at the exchanged between Jesus and a blind beggar named, Bartimaeus.
Children are indeed a blessing! Today, we celebrate fatherhood and offer a challenge for all our dads! Also, Pastor Stephen Leopard has an important and exciting announcement about what is next for the Leopards!
After several weeks of examining how we are set apart in specific areas, today we see in scripture how we are to be set apart in relation to ALL people.
We are continuing our "Hope for the Scattered"series today by looking at 1 Peter 3:1-7. In this passage, Peter is letting us know that we should look at marriage differently than the rest of the world. We are SET APART, and our marriages should reflect that!
You were not created to blend in. You were created to be set apart! Peter shows us that we can populate heaven by being good citizens, doing good, and using our freedom to be servants of God. Oh yeah, and suffering is normal. But don’t worry! We serve a God who empathizes with us, so we never suffer alone.
God is indeed building something special, and He is doing through His people. Just like the exiles in 1 Peter, we need to know who we are and what God is doing through us.
We are in Week 2 of our walk through 1 Peter. This week we look at Peter's message of "Be Prepared."
This week, we are kicking off a new series in 1 Peter called, "Hope for the Scattered." Peter starts his letter with a word of encouragement. This encouragement applies not only to the scattered believers Peter was addressing, but it applies to all believers in all places and at all times; EVEN US! Join us, and Be Encouraged!
Are you experiencing feelings of chaos, fear, and struggling with the unknown? It is completely OK to admit it if we are! Today, we want to understand that these feelings during these crazy days are normal, but we also want to focus on what God can do because so many people are feeling the same way. How should we, as Christ-followers, be prepared to ACT during these times? Join us as we talk about "Great Possiblity" in the midst of these difficult days.
In the past month, we have felt the Chaos, Fear, and Uncertainty. Today, we are looking to Psalm 23 to build our Confidence and Peace with God.
Today, we celebrate a Risen Savior! Not only did Jesus conquer sin on the cross, but He defeated death and rose victoriously. This is worthy of BIG celebration. We will simply ask, "What does the resurrection me to me?"
This week we celebrate Palm Sunday as we look at Jesus and His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane.
We are in week 4 of our, "Let us Pray..." series and in week 2 of our time of scattered worship due to Covid-19. This week we take a look at how Jesus lays out framework for how we deal with our sins through prayer.
We are in our third week of our "Let Us Pray..." series, and in our FIRST week of being a scattered church due to the Corona Virus. Today, we examine Matt 6:11 and Jesus words, "Give us this day our daily bread."
This week, amidst the thread of Covid-19, we continue in our "Let Us Pray" series. We look at the first few verses of "The Lord's Prayer" from Matthew 6, and we examine The Position of Prayer.
This week we kick off our series, "Let Us Pray..." Prayer seems to trip up many believers, so we wanted to take several weeks and see what Jesus had to say about prayer as well as how He did it. Today, we start with Matt 6:5-8, and Jesus telling His followers "what not to do."
Over the past several weeks we have been exploring who we are as a church. This week we tackle what it means to "Love the City."
We are in week 4 of our series, "Who We Are." This we tackle what it means to Love One Another like a family. We look at Acts 2:42-47 as an example of what it can and potentially should look like!
Our mission is to Make Disciples who Love God, Love One Another, and Love the City. Today, we look at what exactly it means to Love God, and some ways that we can actually begin to do it!
Today we ask the question, "How do we make disciples?" Last week we discussed the idea that if we are linked to Jesus by grace through faith, then our identity has been changed to that of a disciple. Today, we look into what that means and how we go about reproducing healthy disciples. The answer: We need to do it how Jesus did it!
Over the next several weeks we will be talking about who we are as a church. Origins Greenville exists to Make Disciples who Love God, Love One Another, and Love the City. This week, we look at scripture to find out what a Disciple really is.
This week we celebrate Jesus with another faith from our own city! Through worship and Scripture, we seek to understand The Church really is and what we do as The Church!
This week, we look at Jesus' "New Commandment" that He gave His disciples before He was arrested, convicted, and crucified. In order to look at that commandment well, we must first look at the actions that preceded His words.
Our goal today is not to find something new about Jesus' birth, but instead to celebrate the majesty of it all! Through Advent we have celebrated the gifts of Hope, Peace, and Joy. Today we celebrate the give of Love that was given by God Himself and on majestic display in and through Jesus!
This week, we look at Peace as we celebrate Advent. What kind of peace does Jesus bring? How does it make us different? How can we have it??
Today, we hear from our team of 7 who recently returned from our first of many trips to serve in Caquipec, Guatemala!
After Agreeing with God, and praying for the things God wants, Nehemiah starts to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem! Will it be easy? Will it be hard? What does it look like when we find ourselves right in the middle of God's plan?
This week we look at a man named Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a man burdened by the broken walls (and people) of Jerusalem. As a cup-bearer for the Persian King, it was not simple task to simply leave to rebuild the city. His brokenness led to prayer, which led to boldness. Listen as we see how he prayed and as we ask ourselves what it means to us.
This week, we take a look at Jeremiah 29. Here, we find Jeremiah (a prophet to Judah) speaking to those exiled in Babylon. He is speaking on behalf of God, and giving those living in captivity instructions on how to live. In the passage we find amazing similarities between us Christ-followers and those who were in captivity in Babylon.
Today, we look at the amazing story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! We often think of this as being one of those stories that appeals just to kids, but it is RICH with wisdom on what it means to make God our one and only!
Over the past few weeks, we have learned a great deal about David. From "ruddy" shepherd to victorious king, he has shown great faith and had great success. This week we will see David falter and sin. What does he do next? How does he respond? What can we learn from it?
What does it mean to worship? Is it prescriptive or is a result of something else? In 2 Samuel 6, we see David worshiping and it sticks out! What does Worship look like for us?
We take a break today from our Old Testament series to talk through how Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount. He has just given so much info on HOW we should live, and now He is letting us know that we can have a foundation that can withstand the rigors of life if we just HEAR and DO! But, how do we go about doing that?
We continue our "Vintage" series this week as we look at the classic account of when David met Goliath! The challenge with these super familiar passages is we often miss the details that lead up to the "high points." The goal today is act like we are hearing the passage for the first time!
This week, we relaunch our Community Groups after our summer break. This is always an exciting and long awaited time for us a church family. In preparation for this season of CG's, Pastor Stephen walks us through the idea of Christian Unity!
"We Want a King like everyone else!" We find Israel crying out to God through Samuel; they want an earthly king. They had forgotten that they already had a king, and He was also their God. This passage brings up the question of, "Will God give us what we ask for, but do not need?" Listen as we explore this passage and think well about God and His ways.
Sooner or later God is going to ask us to do something that makes little to no sense. What do we do? How do we respond? Today, we look at a time when God told Joshua to do one such thing. On paper it seemed rediculous! What was the result and what can we learn?
We are in week 7 of our "Vintage" series, and we take a look at Numbers 13. We find Israel/Moses sending 12 spies into the Promise Land. When they return, they give their report. Both the spies and the rest of Israel are faced with a choice; will they trust God or will they trust fear? This choice rests on all who follow Jesus. Listen today as we ask the question, "Do we trust God or fear?"
We all need people to speak true wisdom into our lives. How do we know when it is wisdom vs just advice? In Genesis 18 we observe an exchange between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro. Join in and let's see what we can learn together!
We experienced a bit of technical difficulty this morning, and as a result we are missing the first 12 minutes of Audio. During that time we gave background to catch us up from where we left off the previous week in Genesis 22. We also set the stage for the birth of Moses by looking briefly at the conditions layed out in Exodus 1-2:10.
This week we look at God, Abraham, and Isaac. God and Abraham had a journey that consisted of God using him, but continually beckoning him to trust more... have more faith. In Genesis 22, we find the ultimate test.
This week we take a look at not just how God made US, but more importantly a few reasons as to why He made us like He did.
Last week we left with the big idea that when it comes to money, we are not owners but managers. God's heart is that we use what He gives us for the growth and betterment of the Kingdom. This week, we look at how we actually do that in Biblical terms.
This week, we jump right to how we think about money. Since we have been redeemed by Christ, our priorities and how we think about the things of this world should be changed. Money is no exception. Join us as we take a look at one of the last parables Jesus shared with His disciples!
We are in week 2 of talking about, "The Things We Do," because we are God's people. We take a look at God's commandment (that we should enjoy) to GO!
We are kicking off a series of sorts about The Things We Do. This is not so much the "We" of Origins, but the "We" of The Church. We are starting off the series with the fact that we, as Christ-followers, should go to the Bible frequently. Actually, we should BE in the Bible constantly. As we kick off the series, we discuss 5 reasons (non-exhaustive list) of why we should go to the Bible.
Today, we celebrate the resurrection! It is a day worth celebrating and a day worth talking about... A LOT! Celebrate with us as we talk about how amazing God is and what He has done through not only the birth, life and death of Jesus, but also His resurrection!
(We had a bit of technical difficulty this week, so we recorded the second half of the message and spliced it in). We wrap up our marriage series by looking at Ephesians 5 and how God desires us to love and live with each other in our marriages.
Today, we take a look at ways to protect our marriage from both external and internal "Foxes."
We kick off our marriage series by looking at Marriage... in the beginning! Even in Genesis, God is revealing His purpose for marriage.
We just wanted to have a "Family Talk" this week about why Origins exists, and what we are ultimately here for.
This week, we look at the practical aspects of how "Putting on Love" plays itself out in our closest relationships. Marriage, Parenting, and even the workplace.
This week (after a little technical difficulty) we are looking at the idea that as a result of Jesus raising us from the dead WITH Him, we "GET TO" live our lives in a certain way. Last week, we discussed the idea that legalism says, we "HAVE TO," but the Gospel says that we "Get To."
This week we are taking through Chapter 2 of Colossians. The church in Colossae is enduring many distracting voices who are trying to pull them away from "Just Jesus." This week, we look at a few of those and how Jesus is better than all of them.
Before Paul dives into the issues troubling those at Colossae, he takes a moment to remind the believers of who Jesus is. What a timely reminder for all believers!
We are in week 1 of our Colossians series. Take a listen as Paul begins by letting the people of Colossae know exactly what he is praying for them and why.
Today, we talk about the fact that we are not renovated or simply fixed by Jesus and His Gospel, but we are NEW!
Today, we Celebrate the Birth of Jesus and some things that we can embrace as a result!
We see Jonah go from the "Fleeing Prophet" to the "Repenting Prophet." What happens next??
We are in week 2 of our walk through Jonah. We pick up in the last verse of Chapter 1 where God appoints SOMETHING big, but it is about so much more than the F I S H! Take a listen as we see how Jonah responds to his situation, and see what Grace has to offer.
This is a recap of a recent trip to Peru where we exploring a partnership. There was also a slide show going on that will not be visible when listening!
Week 1 of our series, "Jonah: It's Not About The Fish." Join us as we explore as story that could be about alot of amazing things, but in the end it is entirely about God and His heart for people.
This is our last sermon in our series, "Did Jesus Really Say That?" This week we explore whether or not Jesus said that Money is the Root of all evil. Did He or did He not say it? Listen with us as we explore what the Bible says about money and our inescapable love of it!
We continue our series, "Did Jesus Really Say That?" This week we ask if Jesus really said that He was the Only Way. Listen with us as we explore the implications for both followers of Christ and those who do not follow Him.
We are continuing to explore things that Jesus did or did not say in our series, "Did Jesus Really Say That?" This week we look into whether or not Jesus actually told us to Love our Enemies and what that means for us.
We are in week 2 of "Did Jesus Really Say That?" This week we tackle the idea that God helps those who help themselves. Did Jesus say it? Is it in the Bible? If not, what does the Bible actually say?
Week 1 of our series, "Did Jesus Really Say That?" In Luke 14 we find Jesus apparently saying that we must HATE our family! Is this true? If so, what does He mean??
Our Community Groups are launching into a new semester where we will be working our way through the Sermon on the Mount. Pastor Stephen Leopard takes us through an introduction to the series.
