| Ron's Testimony | Recorded on August 3, 2008. Richard asked Ron Lindroth to participate in our worship service. Ron began by playing one of Richard's favorite hymns on his harmonica. After giving a brief testimony, Ron concluded with the classic hymn "In the Garden." | ||||||
| Ultimate Safety | Recorded July 6, 2008. We live in an age of constant threats to our safety and security. Homeland Security is supposed to keep US citizens safe. Many people rely on their wealth to secure their future. We use police and military to protect our safety and security. So what is the ultimate in safety? This week Richard examines what he considers ultimate safety. He begins by looking at John 10. In this chapter Jesus reminds his disciples that as our shepherd, he knows all of us, and we recognize his voice. Jesus prevents anyone or anything from taking us away from him. In return God asks us to act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with our God. Because as a congregation we enjoy God's ultimate safety, we participate in worldwide missions. We do this through our financial and prayer support of missionaries. We also participate via this podcast. And, we participate in worldwide missions as we witness to the people around us through our daily living. |
||||||
| Go! | Recorded June 22, 2008. Richard's message is based on Mark 16:15 and following. He highlights the word "Go!" Richard emphasizes Jesus did not make a "suggestion" or a request. Jesus expects us to do something. We are to go and preach the good news throughout the world.
As a small church we accomplish Jesus's mandate to go by our financial support of people called to the mission field. We further accomplish Christ's command by not discouraging the enthusiasm of new Christians. Finally we obey Christ's directive to go into all the world by proclaiming the news of God's salvation via our podcasts and our web site. Richard's health prevents him from standing through an entire message. He often sits on a stool while he talks to us. Richard sometimes refers to his simple wood stool as his "throne." |
||||||
| Faithfulness | Recorded June 8, 2008. Richard became quite ill prior to recording this episode. He had trouble walking, and he could barely talk. The audio had to be tweaked a bit to bring out his voice. However, all of us rejoiced in seeing him. Richard talks about Sarah in this episode. He notes how she recognizes God's faithfulness. Richard reminds us how God remains faithful, and how God meets our needs. All we are asked in return is to remain faithful to God. |
||||||
| Cause for Joy | Recorded May 25, 2008. God has given us a wonderful gift. Through the sacrifice of Jesus our sins (wrongdoing) are not only forgen, but God chooses to remember them no more. This gives us cause for great joy and happiness in our lives. Richard looks at Hebrews 10:16-17. He celebrates the fact that God not only forgives us, he also forgets our sins too. |
||||||
| Mother's Day | Recorded May 11, 2008. In honor of Mother's Day, we share things that made our moms special to us. Our mothers gave sacrificially, prepared for the future, made us laugh, endured our intense dislike, and above all loved us. Richard reminds us that honoring our mothers and fathers pleases God. All of us owe a great debt to our moms. | ||||||
| Walking on Water | Recorded April 27, 2008. We had a mountaintop experience on April 20, 2008. The Jubilate Sacred Singers helped make our worship service extra special. That Sunday we floated on top of the world filled with joy.
Invariably when we experience mountaintop experiences, life's storms hit us hard. We find ourselves unable to cope. We begin to sink in a sea of helplessness and hopelessness. In this episode, Richard talks about this kind of experience in our lives. He will do this by taking a closer look at Matthew 14 and Mark 6. |
||||||
| Who Are Your Heroes? | Recorded April 13, 2008. This week our guest host is Steve Gortz. He asks if we had to pick three heroes, who would they be? Steve mentions three of his heroes, Brian Piccolo, Lou Gehrig, and Tom Cooper. The first two heroes are well known professional athletes who died from cancer and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Tom is an ordinary person who showed everyone Christ's spirit by his daily life. Tom also has a terminal illness, but Tom's life witness shows us how Christ brings each of us a happy ending. | ||||||
| Boulder Police SWAT team visits us | Recorded March 30, 2008. Boulder Colorado's Police Department used our building for a SWAT training exercise. Richard shares what happened on that day. He also describes a wonderful phone conversation he had with a young man he and his wife Karen hold near and dear to their hearts. | ||||||
| Recorded March 16, 2008. Richard Groh talks about fasting and how it can super charge our prayer life. He shows how the early church used fasting to help them know, understand, and do God's will. While there are different kinds of fasting, fasting can help us show God our sincerity in being obedient to His leading. | |||||||
