Life is Hard — God is Good
May 18, 2020 16:10 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBAlmost nothing is guaranteed, except for two things: Life is Hard. God is Good. That’s it; those are the two guarantees we’re walking away with today. The first one, life is hard, no one ever really had to teach us. The second one is a whole different story. God is good… all the time. So what happens when that truth faces off against real life? What happens when we are confronted with the truth that the story of Jesus-followers is a story of hardship? How do we reconcile the mountain of ...

What Now?
April 27, 2020 16:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBThis probably isn't how you imagined your year would look. Chances are you didn't anticipate a global pandemic, a shelter-in-place order or having to spend each day wondering when things would return to the way they were.

How Will We Make It?
April 06, 2020 18:30 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBThese days are hard. They aren’t what we planned, and there’s no end in sight. So how are we supposed to not only live through these days but to live well in the midst of them? The answer can be found in the book of Hebrews. But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, (you came out of the blocks strong!) sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had c...
Where is God?
March 30, 2020 16:33 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBWhere is God? It's a valid question and one that no one should feel shame about asking. One of the wonderful attributes of God is that He isn't afraid of our questions. Our searching for God gives Him another chance to put His Glory and His overarching story on display. Besides, this is hardly a new question. Overwhelming? Yes. Original? No. It's the very same question that has bounced around the minds of believers and skeptics for thousands of years. — With Passion City Online you ca...

It’s assuming a position of kneeling before the ...

God’s Love For Strangers
March 11, 2020 19:36 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBWhy does our love for God become service to a stranger? For the believer, why do we show love to those around us? Continuing the series, “Great Whys”, Pastor Ben Stuart challenges us with this: “He loves them. I love him. So I love them.” The simplicity is a “That We May” mindset — we move towards others in love, because God loves them, and we love God. — Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Louie Giglio and Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqWq... ...
