#094: 8 Ways To Grow In Christian Faith

I had way too much fun recording this podcast this morning. We talk a little Super Bowl trash talk  with Seattle powerful dominance over the Denver Broncos. I even talk about the commercials and thumbs up and down for Fox's coverage of the game. We review some other fun weekend stuff, celebrating Roc's 56th birthday (pictured above.) We had an awesome day at Church Requel yesterday morning too and I talk about that.

Here are links to the 3 commercials I talk about:

• Mazerati Official Super Bowl Commercial
• Bank of America's Red Commercial
• Budweiser's "Puppy Love" Commercial

Yesterday's talk at Church Requel was all about spiritual growth. Christ-followers are called to become like God’s Son - Jesus Christ. I encouraged his congregation with 8 ways to grow in our Christian faith.

Music for this week's podcast included "Seattle" by Perry Como and "Live Like That" by Sidewalk Prophets.

066: Do I Know Who I Am?

Joy and Doubt

Doubt is the great robber of joy.  Without faith we can't believe that God is with us or that He cares or that He has any help.  In this Church Requel talk, Pastor Mark affirms that God gives wisdom generously to all without reproach.

Joy and Endurance

Endurance is the key for  the Christ-follower to remains faithful and mature in his faith.  It also translates the trials of our life into joy.  Find out how from Pastor Mark Pierce from Church Requel as we continue our study of James 1:2-4.

A great church has a great commitment to the great commandment and the great commission. Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel as we discuss why we want to be a purpose-driven church.

The Sower

Growth is a natural result of a healthy spiritual life. What can keep us from being healthy spiritually? Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel as we study the parable of the sower from Matthew 13.
