You’ve been there before… prayed for something and felt like God wasn’t there to hear you. He certainly didn’t give you an answer much less the one you were looking for. Today, we’re going deeper into the messages from the weekend about wondering why God doesn’t hear our prayers. I think you’ll be surprised by some of the roadblocks that are there in our prayer life.

Have you gone through a really difficult situation and asked yourself, “Why did God let this happen?”. Yep… us too. But we’re going deeper into that question today and looking at the stories from the Bible where we see that similar situations have happened. What choices are we making? What choices are others making? How do we reconcile that with our daily lives and our faith? Let’s dig in not today’s episode with Natalee and Tommi.

Have you ever found yourself asking why in situations surrounding your faith? Listen, we all have! This series is taking time to look at scripture for the best response to these why questions. On today’s episode, Tommi and Pastor Don are going deeper into the weekend message asking “Why does God feel far away?”. Pastor Don acknowledges that there are many reasons God can feel distant, but he specifically talks about how we may be over sensationalizing it or we may be distracted.

We’re wrapping up our series on Starting Fresh and what better way to start a new year than seeking out to make a difference? Pastor Jason and Tommi are talking about how the example was set for us by Jesus and our job is to follow his lead.

When we let our faith make a difference in our hearts we can then live our ways to make a difference in the lives of others.

This week we’re talking about letting go with Pastor Don, Natalee, and Tommi. Specifically, we are spending time with Natalee’s message on letting go of your past. We talk about the 4 “steps” to accomplish this: forgiveness, renewal, repentance, and testify. Before you’re too intimidated by the idea of having to testify your faith, we break down some simple ways that you are probably already doing that. Go deeper into your faith today with us and see how you can transform your week.

Our Advent sermon series is based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and on today’s episode of Deeper, we’re talking about Scrooge himself. Listen, we all can be a little Scrooge like from time to time. In Scrooge’s defense… he had gone through some stuff to get him to his cantankerous ways. But what it so amazing about our Christian faith, our trust in God, and the promise of his word is that we can look to our Savior to avoid becoming like Scrooge. Even on our grumpiest days… we have the Hope that is provided with Jesus.  Bible verses: Luke 18:9-14; Romans 3:21-26; Luke 6:37-38 Good Samaritan in Las Vegas at www.goodsamlv.com Windmill Outline Lakes Outline
