Discouragement can easily creep into our souls as we are impacted by the chaos around us. From losing family and close friends to COVID to workplace tensions or the burdens of world-shaking tragedies, disheartening events can domino around us. If we are not prepared, the heaviness of life can drag us into the trenches of discouragement. How do you remain diligent in your day-to-day pursuit of loving God and loving people well? In this episode, Pastor Stephen discusses the keys to defeating discouragement.

Christians face the slaughter of an Islamic regime in Afghanistan. The deaths of those we love now punctuate the fear of Covid ravaging our land. Seizing the instability of the moment, political leaders are inflicting their ideologies of perversion and fear upon us. How are we to respond and sustain in these times? Do we isolate ourselves in the bunkers of fear and self-preservation? Do we wearily protest against seemingly undefined enemies? Do we nod in subjection to all that is happening and merely hope for it to pass? How did Jesus teach us to respond to these “end time” catastrophes? In this podcast, Pastor Stephen discusses these matters as we look to God’s Word for counsel and guidance.

Driving to extremes. That's what often happens when you are racing through your weekly schedule in panic mode. An urgency to make sense of tragedies and turmoil can often force one down the path of self-preservation. How do we balance our immediate concerns and eternal consequences? Is faith in Jesus a mere pit-stop on our weekly map of pursuing happiness? If He is not? Then who is He, and how do we experience Him without driving into the ditches of confusion and unanswered questions? Join Pastor Stephen as he discusses this journey of approaching the God of eternity in his message, "The Road Less Traveled." Your pathway forward may be much different than you expected.

We are spiritual beings who are influenced by the natural and spiritual world. How can you tell whether a problem is demonically related, or caused by something else? In this episode discover the three main doors can open a person to demonic activity or are signs of demonic activity.

Are we near the return of Jesus? Historically, fear and suspicion have surrounded the idea of Jesus' return. However, how are we told to respond in scriptures to hope of Christ's return?

There has to be a better way. When emotions run high and wounds run deep, it’s easy to hold adversaries at a distance and to minimize your vulnerability. We’ve all witnessed how strife and misunderstanding can separate the closest of friends and family. How do you wade through the dark waters of confusion and offense to find the sure footing of hope and trust? Is there a way to navigate through the chaos of our day? Pastor Stephen speaks to this topic as he unfolds the power of honor.

Optimism is powerful. However, the brightness of hope for the future can blind us to inevitable difficulties. As much as we expect the goodness of God to follow us, there is a reality of evil in the world which we must endure. How do we fortify our souls for the difficult days ahead? Jesus gave us a powerful directive to "endure to the end." Join me tonight as we dive into the discussion of endurance in difficult times.

Isolation and fear can lead one to dark pathways. We've watched in shock as friends and family have been derailed by the side effects of the pandemic, politics, and conspiracies. Adding to the agony of our day, the cumulative stresses of fear and isolation have inflicted a test upon many, for which we were not prepared. We are at a crossroads of moving forward in our eternal-purpose or remaining paralyzed by a predatory fear of the future. Isolation and offense have crippled so many, and their paralyzing effects are now being realized. How do we push past the fears and offense? How do we take up our weapons of faith and forge ahead? The secret to resilience may be found in the most common and most misunderstood of Christian truths- forgiveness. Allowing God to demonstrate His forgiveness through you can  empower you to move into a new day. This is the pathway to move forward in the face of fear, opposition, and even blatant persecution. #lordshipofJesus #overcomingsin #breakingaddiction #breakingbad #studyofromans #christianlife#stephensamuel #cathedralchurch #cathedralbeaumont #lamaruniversity #church #bible #jesus #holyspirit #pentecost #spirit #spiritfilled #spiritfilledlife #conquering #sin #victoryoverdarkness #page #sermons #sunday #preaching #livingbythespirit #holyspirit #nocondemnation #condemnation #nomoreguilt #noguilt #overcomingsin #breakingaddiction #breakingbad #studyofscriptures #christianlife#stephensamuel #cathedralchurch #cathedralbeaumont #Wednesdaynightclass #church #bible #jesus #holyspirit #pentecost #spirit #spiritfilled #spiritfilledlife #conquering #sin #victoryoverdarkness #page #sermons #sunday #preaching #livingbythespirit #holyspirit #nocondemnation #condemnation #nomoreguilt #noguilt
