Super Bowl and God controversy

If you watched the Super Bowl this past Sunday, you’ve probably heard some controversy surrounding a commercial that was aired during it. It was a commercial of people washing each other’s feet because they claim that’s what Jesus has told us to do. Is it a good commercial is it a bad one? That is what we’re covering on this weeks episode of God Talk.

The Fall (“Many Parts-One Story” Week 2 of 11)

The Fall (“Many Parts-One Story” Week 2 of 11)

We opened our series with the biblical account of God’s creation of heaven and earth, and man, and in this episode turn to the account of man exercising his God-given free will. Theologians describe Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God’s explicit instruction to eat everything but the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as “The Fall.” It’s a term used to convey Adam & Eve’s transformation from a perfectly holy state to a fallen state overshadowed by sin after listening to Satan and disobeying God. God stated what He had created was “Very Good,” but when man sinned it became “Not Good.” And every man and woman thereafter, including you and me, are innately sinful as a result of that one act of disobedience. Join us for the full story.

Neglecting the Word of God (“Shipwrecked” Week 9 of 9)

Neglecting the Word of God (“Shipwrecked” Week 9 of 9)

This is the last Sunday of the year, and the last week in the Shipwrecked series, and in this message Pastor Greg brings us perspective on what he intended to teach us using a story found in 2 Chronicles 34. The people of Israel had forgotten God’s Law and as a result, the nation was in shambles. In a word, shipwrecked. However a priest found the Book of the Law in the temple, brought it to King Josiah, and the king immediately changed the nation’s course so that they followed it. 

We think of ourselves as a Christian nation, because we were founded as one, but we have forgotten God, and as we move into 2024, a potentially turbulent year, it is more important than ever that each of us open His Word and live it out whether the country’s leaders do or not. The messages in the Shipwrecked series were not just for 2023, they are also for 2024, and for all time! Pastor Greg encourages us to take hold of them, go back and review them, and be vigilant to make them a part of our daily lives.

Deceiving Spirits & Influence of False Teachers (“Shipwrecked” Week 7 of 9)

Deceiving Spirits & Influence of False Teachers (“Shipwrecked” Week 7 of 9)

Hopefully, by now, you’ve been able to see there are many ways for our faith to be influenced and pushed off course when we aren’t diligent in our focus on God’s leading in our lives. That’s the reason the series has been named Shipwrecked, because when we listen to what the world values and teaches and adopt it in our own lives as believers, even 

we will inevitably lose our footing in the truth and begin drifting off course. The results will bring disaster into our lives and make a complete Shipwreck of it.


Today is another big one, and the Bible is very clear that in the last days there will be many false teachers and no shortage of people who will listen to them and be swayed by what they are teaching. Why? It appeals to our sinful human nature, and it’s easy to buy into. Are these people all outside the church? NOT AT ALL! Some of the most prolific false teachers are pastors of huge churches with thousands in attendance every Sunday! As an example, there is a movement known as the “name-it-and-claim-it” crowd who teach that we can name what God needs to do for us, and claim it as if He owes it to us! That’s backward! He doesn’t!


Pastor Greg has a number of other examples of things we need to look out for to keep us on course, so grab your Bible and a notepad for this one!


Scriptures Today: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 // Matthew 24:22-24, 7:15 // Jeremiah 28:1-17 // Galatians 1:6-9 // Jude 1:4 // John 21:18-19 // Romans 4:17, 1:16

Seeing God through the eyes of Satan

Negative Influences (“Shipwrecked” Week 5 of 6)

Negative Influences (“Shipwrecked” Week 5 of 6)

As we move into week 5 of our Shipwrecked series we take a look at things we all encounter in life that negatively affect us and can shipwreck our faith. More often than not, these things can seem inconsequential, or worse, totally harmless or even good, but put us on the road to spiritual disaster. We all know Satan has an evil influence on this world, and most of us picture him as some sort of dragon or monster, but scripture warns us he can appear as an angel of light. His mastery of disguises can fool us and those all around us making his ubiquitous evil sway on this world seem good and even beneficial, when in reality it is dangerous and destructive. The Bible calls him a liar, and the father of lies. That’s not a compliment!

But we can’t forget about our own sinful nature, and inherent propensity for evil. In this sermon Pastor Greg reminds us that the negative influences in our lives come from outside us as well as within, and maps out the steps we can take to identify and safeguard ourselves from the shipwrecked life they can bring. This is an essential message intended to equip us with the tools we need for healthy spiritual growth!


Scriptures Today: 1 Peter 5:8 // 1 Corinthians 15:33, 2 Corinthians 11:14 // Genesis 3:1-7 // Luke 22:1-6, 22:31-32  //  John 10:28-29 // Proverbs 13:20 // 2 Timothy 3:1-5 // Deuteronomy 20:16-18 // Matthew 24:12-14

Imperfect Pastors (“Shipwrecked” Week 4 of 6)

Imperfect Pastors (“Shipwrecked” Week 4 of 6)

This week, we turn our attention to church leadership, and specifically to pastors. There’s an inherent tendency among all of us to judge the pastor, bible study leader, or Sunday school teacher because, after all, he or she is the leader and the one whose life and actions are on display. But that leader is also a human just like you and I, and as such, has faults, and opinions we may not agree with, and of course, makes mistakes. The Bible has much to say about the higher standards of righteousness expected from those in church leadership, and Pastor Greg will provide examples. 

But we, too, have a responsibility to not base our feelings toward God or toward the church by solely looking at the imperfect man God is using to preach His perfect Word. God can work through imperfect, broken vessels to accomplish His purposes, and we have the responsibility not to let broken people shipwreck our faith. God will hold us accountable for that!

Worldly Wisdom ("Shipwrecked" Week 3 of 6)

Worldly Wisdom ("Shipwrecked" Week 3 of 6)

As we continue the Shipwrecked series, we turn our attention to the topic of worldly wisdom. Essentially, there are two types of wisdom: that which comes from the hearts of men, which God considers foolishness, and real wisdom that comes from God. Proverbs 14:12 puts man’s wisdom in proper perspective, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end leads to death.” 

In this message Pastor Greg will provide valuable insights in sorting out the intricacies of wisdom to help us decipher what to do when common sense and God’s wisdom are in direct conflict. He includes seven qualities of godly wisdom and seven ways to practice and apply that wisdom. This message will shed light on what true wisdom looks like, and how to make wise decisions in the course of living life, and is a message well worth watching, bookmarking, then coming back to again and again as a resource.


Scriptures Today: 1 Corinthians 3:19 // James 3:13-17 // Proverbs 11:2-3, 14:12, 12:15 // 1 Chronicles 21 // Exodus 3:12 // Psalm 111:12 // Collossians 1:9 // 1 Corinthians 3:18-19 // 1 John 4:1 // Ecclesiastes 7:5 // 1 Peter 5:8

Pain, Suffering, and Trauma (“Shipwrecked” Week 2 of 6)

Pain, Suffering, and Trauma (“Shipwrecked” Week 2 of 6)

As we continue the Shipwrecked series, this week we are going to focus on pain, suffering, and trauma, the things we will all encounter and are most likely to shipwreck our faith. As a prime example, we are going to look at Job, someone who endured and stood firm in the midst of unthinkable tragedy. In one dark day Job suffered the loss of all his wealth, his sons and daughters, and even his health, yet rather than curse God, he responded with “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job had the right perspective, and that is what sustained him in his darkest hours. The Apostle Paul was literally shipwrecked three times, yet maintained the right perspective. And there are others. 

So how were they able to face overwhelming challenges in their lives, yet do so with the perspective necessary to avoid derailing their faith? Pastor Greg lays out the answers from God’s Word and the choice we need to make to walk through the pain suffering, and trauma we all inevitably encounter.

Life Is Messy! - ("Shipwrecked" - Week 1 of 6)

Life Is Messy! - ("Shipwrecked" - Week 1 of 6)

We are beginning a new sermon series entitled Shipwrecked, a series all about making sure our faith doesn’t get “shipwrecked.” The term is used by the Apostle Paul in his first letter to Timothy, his protege, a young man whom he mentored to become a church leader, and Paul was commanding Timothy to conduct himself well and not become shipwrecked, as some have done.

What applied then very much applies to believers in current times who are not vigilant in standing firm and have seen their lives and their faith become a complete shipwreck. Most people would agree that life is messy. No one lives a life of such ease that day after day things all fall neatly into place, and problems all work themselves out without difficulty. Although certainly not comprehensive, this series addresses many of the challenges that are constantly bombarded with and provides practical biblical wisdom to guide us. We hope God will speak to you through His Word, and make you better equipped to stand firm in your faith.

Get In The Game! (“The Challenge” Week 4 of 4)

Get In The Game! (“The Challenge” Week 4 of 4)

It is our hope you are watching Week 4, the last week of “The Challenge” series, because you have accepted “the challenge” and have committed yourself to the spiritual growth opportunity it affords. If you missed Week 1, 2, or 3, we encourage you to take the time to watch it. Visit https://lotwchurch.org/challenge for the full series and the downloadable workbook.


Last week, we looked at the 3-T’s of Time, Talent, and Treasure and how each of us has been given at least some measure of one or even all three. If you haven’t already, carefully examine how God has equipped you, knowing you indeed have been given ways you can be a blessing to the church. God promises He will equip you, then commands you to use it for His glory. No one is exempt. Today you are challenged to “get in the game” with those abilities and aptitudes God has blessed you with. Consider this: when you do, you are an example of Christlikeness that will often inspire others to take your lead and contribute, thus multiplying those efforts. But there are other benefits as well. In the process, there are opportunities for fellowship and relationship building that would otherwise not have been there. And there’s a personal blessing as well; knowing you are following the commands in God’s Word nurtures and deepens our relationship with Christ. It’s not burdensome work; instead, it’s pure joy! So the challenge today is to “Get In The Game!”

Committed Followers of Christ (“The Challenge” Week 3 of 4)

It is our hope you are listening to Week 3 of The Challenge series because you have accepted “the challenge” and have committed yourself to the spiritual growth opportunity it affords. If you missed Week 1 or 2, we encourage you to take the time to watch it; visit https://lotwchurch.org/challenge for the full series and the downloadable workbook.


Last week, we looked at spiritual laziness, a tendency that stymies our spiritual development, and hopefully, you have identified your weak areas and made a commitment to no longer allow it in your life. So this week, having agreed you are “all in,” we are going to look at what it means to be a committed follower of Christ. The first question to ask is, where’s the fruit? The Bible says that if we are in Christ, in other words, fully committed to following Him, we will bear spiritual fruit. The amount of fruit we bear is directly related to how committed we are to following Him. It also tells us we can’t bear fruit on our own. So the challenge in this message is to ask yourself, are you serving Him with all you have? Or serving Him with what’s left over, or even not at all? There are also deeper insights Pastor Greg includes that will help give you a clearer understanding of where you stand to enable you to make changes to kick your spiritual growth into a higher gear!


Scriptures Today: John 5:15 // Ephesians 2:10 // Mark 11:12-21 // 1 Kings 17:7-16 // Luke 21:1-4 // Malachi 3:8-12 // 2 Corinthians 9:6-11

Spiritual Laziness (“The Challenge” Week 2 of 4)

Spiritual Laziness (“The Challenge” Week 2 of 4)

It is our hope you are watching Week 2 of The Challenge series because you have accepted “the challenge” and have committed yourself to the spiritual growth opportunity it affords. If you missed Week 1, we encourage you to take the time to watch it; visit https://lotwchurch.org/challenge for the full series and the downloadable workbook.

This week we are discussing spiritual laziness, a tendency we as believers are prone to unless we make a conscious effort to not allow it in our lives. It follows the same pattern as physical laziness, a tendency we all agree is definitely NOT positive, and God is very specific about His distaste for those who become spiritually lazy. The Bible calls them “lukewarm” Christians, and God very bluntly says He is inclined to “spit them out of His mouth!” Pretty strong words, but we can rest assured that’s exactly what God meant! So with that as the backdrop for today’s message, listen carefully as Pastor Greg lays out ways we can identify and avoid falling into spiritual laziness. 

Scriptures Today: Revelation 3:14-18 // Matthew 6:24, 7:21, 25:15-29, 12:36 // Hebrews 3:17 // Romans 14:12

A Fork In The Road (“The Challenge” Week 1 of 4)

A Fork In The Road (“The Challenge” Week 1 of 4)

We are kicking off a four-week sermon series, which is an updated version of The Challenge series LOTW did as a church in 2008. Today we start by discussing “forks in the road,” times in our lives where we are required to make a decision and choose which direction or path we will take and commit to it. As an example, we’ll look at Joshua, the leader of the nation of Israel, who succeeded Moses and led the nation into the land that was promised to them by God, despite the fact there were myriad challenges in occupying it. It was time for the nation to commit to doing what God had called them to do. As Joshua stood in front of the whole assembly he challenged them to make the decision to follow God’s instruction. He essentially drove a stake in the ground and declared “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” 

Today you will be challenged to make a decision and follow God in your own life. Pastor Greg will lay out The Challenge. Will you commit to it and accept it?

Undisciplined ("Potholes" - Week 5 of 5)

Undisciplined ("Potholes" - Week 5 of 5)

As we wrap up the Potholes sermon series we take a look at the number one issue in all our lives that gets us into more trouble and causes more destructiveness than just about all of the issues we’ve discussed. It’s a look in the mirror because it’s not Satan that is getting us into all kinds of trouble, although he is a party to it, but instead, the problem is really US! When we become undisciplined we become our own worst enemy! We bring endless self-destructive behavior into every aspect of our lives and then wonder why everything and everyone seems to be against us. Before you mentally tune out or dismiss the possibility you could be a victim of your own undisciplined life, listen carefully to Pastor Greg as he describes the issue and gives you practical steps you can take to wrestle with it and wrangle it under control. This sermon is one you’ll find worth its weight in gold. 


Scriptures Today: Hebrews 4:12-14 // Proverbs 25:28, 16:32 // Titus 1:7-8 // Deuteronomy 11:26-28 // 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 // Galatians 5:16-25
