Mirrored Measurements

What goes around comes around! Jesus teaches this is especially true with judging and condemning others (on the negative side), but equally true on the forgiving and giving to others (on the positive side).

#100: Four More Laws of Sowing & Reaping

We learn 4 more laws of sowing and reaping. We always reap in a different season than we sow. We always reap more than we sow. We can increase our harvest by planting more seed. To reap the harvest I must be patient and not give up. Join me for this very special 100th episode of the Church Requel Audio Podcast!

Music for this week's podcast is "Amazing Grace - My Chains Are Gone" sung by Haleigh Trubachik (pictured on the cover art.)

#085: 6 More Reasons To Be Thankful

God's Word teaches Christ-followers to be thankful in all circumstances - 365 days a year - in good times and in bad. Sunday I taught 6 more reasons why our thanksgiving is so important for us.
I also talk about everything from this past Thanksgiving Thursday to Black Friday to Football Saturday to Decorating Sunday to Cyber Monday!

Here is the 60-Minutes video link about Amazon's futuristic Prime Air delivery service.

I mentioned these three great photo albums from this past Sunday, created by Diana.

We also talk about two different videos. The first is our home-made Thanksgiving video. The second is "The Thanksgiving Chair," which we played at the end of the sermon. You really should watch this after you've listened to the sermon.
