Living Spring Podcast

We are in week 2 of our 6-week series. If we knew we only had one month to live, in what ways would we make efforts to live more passionately like Jesus did?

What if we dared to love the world as Christ does? This is the focus of this week's message given by Pastor Carlos Cueva.

Matt. 28.30 Jesus' final promise in Matthew was that He would be with us always, even to the end of the age. How would we live our lives if Jesus was with us at all times? Would it look different from how we live now?

After 2 years, we have come to the end of Matthew with the giving of the Great Commission. This week Pastor John reviews the "top 10" commands of Jesus from Matthew that we can take into 2010. Make this year the year of obedience.

Matt 28.19b We move on to part 2 of the Great Commission this week as we continue to wrap up the book of Matthew. Baptism. What does it mean? Where did it come from? Does it still apply today?

Matt. 28.19 Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave the disciples a command: make disciples. Sometimes we reach levels in our faith where we can't help but ask, "now what?" What the disciples were told then is still true now: make disciples.

Matt. 28.18 We would all agree that authority is good and needed in our society. But how do we feel once that authority begins to invade our life? For an entire year we have been studying Matthew and it's message of God's Kingdom coming to earth. How do we feel about the King?

We take a break from Matthew this week to reflect on the depth of giving thanks. Can we really, truly, be thankful in everything? How important is thankfulness in our walk with Christ?

Don Rogers is the founder of Empowering Lives International, an organization dedicated to the restoration of the people of East Africa. Don speaks on ELI's latest ministry efforts and how God is enabling them to reach the people in this area.

Matt 26 You know the feeling. You get on the ride, begin the long ascent to the top of the lift, and then...do you clutch on to the restraint for dear life or lift your hands in the air and enjoy the crazy ride down? This week we see how the Jesus responds to rollercoaster-like situations that would make even the enthusiast queasy.

Matthew 25 Jesus continues in His warnings about the end times and how important it is to be ready and watchful for His coming. A line of division will be drawn that separates the sheep from the goats, and the wise from the foolish. When that time comes, which side will we find ourselves on?

Matt 24 Jesus is coming. There's no stopping Him, slowing Him down, speeding Him up or knowing when it will happen. Are you ready? What kind of people ought we to be knowing that His return is drawing near? He is coming soon. Get ready.

Matt. 23 Nobody likes a hypocrite. While the symptoms of hypocrisy are obvious, where does the the root of this sin begin? It's about more than just 'practicing what we preach'.

If our life was a painting, would it look like a masterpiece or a mess? This week concludes our study on Living Regret Free by asking ourselves "What is the wise thing to do?" But there is one step we must take even before asking this question, and it will determine what the canvas of our life will become.

If we had a timecard with which we clocked in and out of God's Kingdom, how many hours would be on it at the end of our week? The Bible says that time management is the indication of a life lived wisely or foolishly. Is it really that important how we choose to spend our time?

Did you know that our Father in heaven is rooting for us to make wise decisions? He knows what blessings await us when we follow His design, and the painful consequences involved when we do not. This week we take a look at how to make regret-free decisions when it comes to sex. *Before the sermon we viewed a short illustrative video.

In Proverbs, Solomon separates those who live unwisely into 3 categories: the Naive, the Fool and the Scoffer. How can we avoid these dangerous seats? What if we are sitting in one of them now?

We've all made decisions that we are not proud of at one time or another. How do we live a regret free life? That is the focus of this new 6 week series.

Matt 22.32-40 We've heard it a thousand times before. Eat right and exercise. Out of all the diet plans and gimmicks, this seems to be the one that always holds true. Eat right and exercise. And we know that it's true. No duh. This is where we find the pharisees as they question Jesus as to which is the greatest commandment. No duh.

Matt 22.1-40 How would you feel knowing you had missed out on the best party ever because you had something else you chose to do instead? That's the analogy of this week's parable in Matthew.
