Beyond the Building

65. Back to God’s Definition of Our Significance

We are each created with significance - not because of what we can accomplish but rather, because of who God has declared us to be. We need to go back to the beginning, to the Garden of Eden, to discover the truth about our significance.

64. Intimacy - Back to God’s Design

Each of us craves connection with others. We want to know...and we want to be known. Join us as we go back to the Garden of Eden to discover God’s design for intimacy with His creation.

63. Back to the Word

Misplaced priorities lead to a misplaced center... It had been 60 years since Israel had heard the book of the Law of the Lord. Slowly pushed aside from its place of prominence, other things took the center. In 2 Kings 22, the Law of the Lord was found. What an impact going back to the Word was for Israel and what an impact it has on us.

62. Back to Your Calling

Seasons of wandering and seasons of walking from God’s ways can leave us in a place where we are no longer pursuing the original call God has on our lives. With Moses and Samson as examples, Laura and Debbie dig into God’s Word to uncover the way to return and pursue again our calling.

61. I Choose Life - Darlene’s Story

60. Laura’s Story - Freedom in Forgiveness

When God speaks a word to our hearts, it will come to pass. After a robbery at her home, God spoke to Laura Piraino that she would have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with the one who had caused the offence. After five years of silence, God brought the moment to pass and with it came the opportunity to forgive God’s way. We may think the story is over, but the freedom that comes through forgiveness opens doors we never imagined.

59. The Cost of Freedom

Freedom comes at a cost. May we never forget the lives sacrificed so we can be free. Our freedom spiritually was also costly...may we never forget.
