Holly Springs Bible Fellowship Podcasts

The Christmas story reminds us of the importance of responding to God when he directs and leads us. The result of obedience is that God provides and knows what is best. His timing and ways are not ours. Trust and follow Him wholeheartedly this week.

John challenges us to examine our real love. We cannot love the world's system and claim to love God. They are mutually exclusive. Invest your life and legacy in things that have an eternal value, instead of investing in things that will pass away one day.

John challenges to grow into the people God wants us to be. God's ultimate goal is for us to act as fathers guiding and directing believers into a healthy relationship and fellowship with God so that they may impact others. That is what genuinely spirituality looks like.

John challenges us to love as Christ loved. That means that we cannot harbor hatred, bitterness or anger in our heart toward anyone. Christ set the example of what it means to love even our enemies and we are challenged this week to do the same.

John challenges us to have the assurance of our relationship with our heavenly father. May you walk in fellowship and allow Him to work through you in what He desires to accomplish this week.

John reminds us that in order to genuinely walk with God, we must be honest about our sin and the things that are hindering our growth as a believer. Christ stands on our behalf doing everything to make give us a real genuine relationship with the father. May we confess and deal with the things that are hurting that fellowship.

Fellowship is essential to our relationship with Christ. We must make sure that we are walking in the light that God provides through His Word and others. As we deal with our own lives, we are better equipped to be light in a very dark world.

Real Christianity is sourced in a personal relationship with a living Christ. It involves fellowship with God and His people. It can and will produce a mature joy in your life in this world.

Jeremiah 46-52 = God may be asking something difficult from you. Be obedient. God will be patient with each of us, but He has drawn a line. Allow Him to use you and stay faithful no matter what the cost.

Jeremiah 40 - 45 = God wants His children to be people of discernment. Test and try things to see whether they are from God or satan. Decide now - you will honor God no matter what the world or the culture says. In the end, God will honor that. If you choose to ignore God, you do so to your own peril.

Jeremiah 37-39 We are reminded that God is loving and patient, but he is also just and righteous. He wants us to surrender our will each day. He desires for us to be obedient and faithful to Him as we live our daily lives. He will honor those who honor Him.

This message includes a Baby Dedication Service and a message on parenting. The message is from Genesis 3 and Luke 15. This week we are challenged to acknowledge the role of God as our Parent. He provides, directs, chastens, loves, and gives us real life. He is more interested in our character than comfort. He sets the example of the kind of parent we need to be. Loving, yet firm. Protecting without being overbearing.

Jeremiah 34-36 - Jeremiah reminds us that "crisis" Christianity has a cost. He encourages us to be sensitive to the voice of God in our lives. He challenges us to share God's Word and allow God to determine the results.

Jeremiah 30-33 Jeremiah reminds us that difficulty is part of life, but we do not go through it alone. God can use our experiences to give us hope and a future no matter how difficult the time. He can give us a new relationship, a new family and a new direction when we trust Him as our Master. He will be our God and we will be His people. (*did have a problem with audio this week, but this is the complete message)

Jeremiah 26-29 = Jeremiah challenges the people to realize that hardship can happen. Sometimes God asks the unusual and it is our responsibility to respond properly. There often comes a turning point when we must turn a problem over to God and walk away trusting God to work out His plan for us. A plan for hope and a future.

Jeremiah 21-25 = Jeremiah reminds us that God will make a way for His plans and purposes. He sees our situation very differently than we do, but it will pass. He can use our pain and struggle for His purposes which can have an eternal impact.

Jeremiah 20 - Jeremiah shows his humanity as he wrestles with his circumstances for doing right. He reminds us of the importance of refocusing our circumstances and seeing them from God's perspective.

Jeremiah challenges Judah to change their direction. God as the potter will work with them if they will obey Him. If they refuse, they will face judgment rather than His love and mercy. God has a line.

Jeremiah trusts God when He asks him to do the difficult things. Look at the road you are on, and ask yourself where it will ultimately take you. Ask God to show you whether your trust is in him or yourself and your works.

John 4 - Living Water - Jesus uses a common everyday illustration of water to illustrate the necessity of believing in Him. Each year our church goes to the Woodbury County Fairgrounds to hold a service.
