Our House: Collaboration Part 1
October 1, 2023 - 14 min
As we’re nearing the end of our series, “Our House”, today really speaks to some conversations we had in our previous series with Natalie Runion. What happens when your church begins to have internal struggles, disagreements and even division? It doesn’t have to be the end of this ministry. In fact, we see in the book of Acts, the early church was already facing these same issues. But the good news is that the Word of God also has some keen insights and advice on how to find resolution.   Acts 6:1-4 Series: Our House https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Our House: Commandment Part 2
September 24, 2023 - 14 min
This week in our series, “Our House”, Captain Paul Ryerson continues the study from last week about what Jesus said was the greatest commandment. When we love God with all of our heart, mind, and soul- we can’t help but love others. That’s the kind of church that stands out to me. One that makes you feel welcomed and loved out of an outpouring of the people’s love for God.   Matthew 22:34-40 Series: Our House https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Music- Sheena Marquis |More Like You Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
