Hidden Treasure: A Study on God's Purpose & His Nature | 11.14.22

Hidden Treasure: A Study on God's Purpose & His Nature | 11.14.22

Did you know that God not only longs to reveal His purpose for your life, but even more importantly, He longs to reveal His NATURE to you! That He is a good Father who loves you and know best what you need in any given moment. This week, Frank shares from a recent message entitled "Hidden Treasure" on the way in which God revealed Himself to the Persian King, Cyrus, in Isaiah 45. It's a fascinating story worth revisiting and we hope you'll be encouraged and challenged by who the Lord wants to be in your life!

Trading the New for the Known

Trading the New for the Known

We are a people who love new things, aren't we? Let's be honest, could you use that new iPhone 14 Pro? I could! And yet, while we crave the new, we ignore all that we have been given already. The same applies to our walk with the Lord. So often we want fresh revelation and new words from God. "What are you saying God, what are you doing?" And while there's nothing wrong with asking these questions, have we bothered to remember all that He has done and spoken in our lives already? We have to remember our history with God. This week, Frank talks about the importance of focusing on that history and bringing to the surface everything the Lord has already deposited in your heart.

And believe it or not, it's a gift that you can give Him every single day. For more information about this podcast and other great content, visit Purity For Life.

Truth & Freedom Are Constant Companions

Truth & Freedom Are Constant Companions

Which is more important in recovery? Real freedom or simple sobriety. This is the question we explore this week on the podcast. Real freedom has so much more to do with the journey than the destination. And as your recovery becomes as natural as breathing, you will begin to experience deeper places of sobriety that is long-lasting and consistent.

Tell the Whole Truth & Nothing But the Truth

Tell the Whole Truth & Nothing But the Truth

Recently, I began thinking about one of the most fundamental building blocks of addiction recovery: Honesty. The willingness to drop the walls, drop the facade, and allow others to see inside of your life. A life of honesty refuses to hide, cover up, or deny the truth. It seeks only to be completely transparent, allowing light to shine upon anything unseen. For more information about this podcast and other great content, visit Purity For Life.
