    04/12/2023 Duration: 31min

    Joseph’s role in the life of Jesus was an unexpected and likely difficult one. However, he responds to God’s invitation with courage and obedience. Through his story, we learn that just because a situation is difficult and fear-provoking, it doesn’t mean that God isn’t in it.

  • It’s Me, Daniel

    14/11/2023 Duration: 36min

    The story of Daniel in the Old Testament teaches us what it means to pursue God in daily, consistent prayer. Daniel knew that prayer is real, powerful, and the anchor of a life devoted to God. Pastor Brent encourages us that there’s not a wrong way to pray. Each prayer matters, whether we’re at the pit of a lion’s den or going about a typical day.

  • It’s Me, a Sinner

    06/11/2023 Duration: 32min

  • Lamenting with Jesus

    30/10/2023 Duration: 44min

    Jesus doesn’t just walk alongside us in the midst of life’s pain and difficulties. He’s experienced it Himself.

  • Confession & Prayer

    23/10/2023 Duration: 33min

    If King David’s life teaches us anything in Scripture, it’s that there’s redemption and freedom found in bringing our deepest failures, sins, and regrets before God. Pastor Brent explores the power of confession demonstrated in Psalm 51 by David. Here, we find that the paradox of confession is that what should should repel us from God (our sin in light of God’s holiness) actually draws us closer. The post Confession & Prayer appeared first on Ashworth Church - West Des Moines.

  • Trusting God in Prayer

    17/10/2023 Duration: 30min

As we pray and commune with God in the midst of our suffering, He gives us exactly what we need. The post Trusting God in Prayer appeared first on Ashworth Church - West Des Moines.

  • Freedom in the Spirit

    10/10/2023 Duration: 38min

    As we conclude our series studying the book of Galatians, we learn that there’s a difference between loving to earn God’s favor and loving because you’ve experienced it. Paul demonstrates that it’s not about what you do—it’s about who you are inside. The post Freedom in the Spirit appeared first on Ashworth Church - West Des Moines.

  • All in the Family

    03/10/2023 Duration: 34min

    In Galatians, Paul encourages the Jewish community to remove the ethnic, racial, economic, and gender barriers they’ve placed on others in order to see God and His people in a more realistic way. Here, we learn that our identity isn’t based on information or the social constructs placed on us. Its based on intimacy with a Father who adopts us into His family.

  • Hypocrisy & Justification

    18/09/2023 Duration: 37min

    In Galatians 2, Paul addresses a church defined by hypocrisy. In this passage, we find that the Good News of the Gospel is not righteousness through religious practice. It’s receiving righteous position through justification. The post Hypocrisy & Justification appeared first on Ashworth Church - West Des Moines.

  • You’ve Changed

    03/09/2023 Duration: 33min

    It’s the start of a new school year and, with it, the anticipation of the big day when everyone gets a yearbook. Yearbooks can be fun to look at and sign, but what about when someone tells you, “Don’t ever change!” Pastor Brent looks at how this is often used as a negative but when people say, ‘You’ve Changed,” it actually means we are growing. And without change, we cannot begin to look more like Jesus. Explore the significance of The post You’ve Changed appeared first on Ashworth Church - West Des Moines.
