Perseverance (1 of 2)

Posted by Worldview Warriors On Monday, June 28, 2010 0 comments
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

- James 1:2-4

n a recent message at The Catalyst Church, Jason teaches from Nehemiah 2:1-10, 4:1-18, and 6:1-13 on becoming mature in Christ. Learn what it means to persevere through trials in order to become complete in Christ. Be encouraged to be growth-oriented rather than goal-oriented as you listen to these podcasts.

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.

- Hebrews 5:11-14, 6:1-3

In today's podcast, Jason DeZurik and Matt Brent finish the "Going Deeper" series. They discuss the good & bad of social networking (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.) and how we represent ourselves online as followers of Christ.

Matt shares what God has been doing in his own life as he is being shaped and refined. Find out how your Web presence has such an influence on others. How do you best use these tools to set an example and encourage those around you?

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God...

This week, Jason continues the current series with Matt Brent, the frontman for the Matt Brent Band. It is our hope that through this series, you are encouraged to do the hard things in life instead of taking the path of least resistance.

How can I go deeper in my faith? What does it mean to be set apart? How can I be different? How do I put what I'm feeling aside and do what God is calling me to do?

Learn how you can focus on what you ARE supposed to do instead of what you are NOT supposed to do.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
- Ephesians 4:2,3

This week and next, Jason is in the studio with Matt Brent, the frontman for the Matt Brent Band (MBB), a Marion, OH based worship rock quartet intent on honoring God with their music and allowing Him to transform lives.

This podcast focuses on becoming more like Christ, otherwise known as holiness. Learn what it means to be a disciple of Christ so that you are able to reflect Him in all you do and become more like Him every day. Find out how spiritual disciplines, like reading God's Word and praying, allow us to get good stuff in us so good stuff is able to come out of us.

"This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."
- 1 John 1:5-7

This week and next, Jason is in the studio with Matt Brent, the frontman for the Matt Brent Band (MBB), a Marion, OH based worship rock quartet intent on honoring God with their music and allowing Him to transform lives.

In this podcast, you'll learn what it means to be saved from our sins, but not from our consequences. We see that in Ephesians 1:3, we are adopted into God's family and forgiven through Christ, but what do we do when we have setbacks in our lives? What does it mean to repent? Find out in today's podcast.

And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
- Romans 13:11
