Substance Podcast - Audio

Guest Speaker Rob Ketterling, Senior Pastor of River Valley Church in Apple Valley MN speaks to Substance about the importance of sharing your faith. Luke 14. rivervalley.org/

Have you ever noticed how often you worry or feel stressed out? Jesus addressed the burden of worry, which ultimately is a lack of faith in one's life. We can defeat worry by telling God what we need and thanking Him for all that He has done. Then we will experience true peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:4-7).

After studying miracles in scripture, we can extrapolate some interesting conditions that preceded them. God desires that we have certain types of relationships. And he uses those relationships to birth the miraculous in our lives. So the question remains: Do you have the relationships that God blesses? (2 Kings 4; 1 Samuel 7).

In the book of Acts, Phillip responded to an impression from the Holy Spirit and his obedience later led to revival. Our obedience towards God might just change someone's life. Never underestimate small acts -- who are the people that you want to experience God? (Acts 8:26-45)

There comes a point in every person's life where they have to make a decision. We can either invest our lives into God's Kingdom or live completely separate from God. We need to give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

A catalyst is a substance that accelerates a transformation in a person's life. Jesus is willing to be a catalyst for humanity and calls us to be one. How can you be that catalyst? Ephesians 2:4-5

How do we stay strong when our world gets shaken? It's easy to have faith in God when things are going well, but what about when things go from bad to worse? God is able to do more in us than we could imagine. Let's pray bold prayers and dream bigger dreams. Ephesians 3:18

The reality today is that we all have people who have left marks on our lives. What mark are you leaving? What will your legacy be when you're gone? You and I were created to leave a mark. Keep pressing on and God will give you the strength you need to make a difference. James 2:17

There comes a time when you've got to make the call or make the move. Don't wait for perfect conditions; risk your future by going all in with God. God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20

Desire drives our decisions and our decisions determine our destiny. Some people say they love Jesus, but they don't have much passion for the church. The Bible says in Matthew 16 that Jesus is building His church. Building God's house and making it famous requires us as the church to have an overflow of desire, vision and sacrifice as we bring more of God's kingdom to earth. Ephesians 1:22-23

How do we stay motivated about our current job or opportunities? How do we prevent bad attitudes from sabotaging our ability to know God's will? After studying the life of David, we unpack 2 additional tests that God gives everyone before promoting them. 2 Samuel 6; Acts 13

How do we know if we're doing what God has truly called us to do? If you want to truly discover your calling, you need to pass several tests. After studying the life of Joseph, we learn about two important tests that God gives everyone before promotion. Are you ready to pass these tests? (Genesis 41)

You may be facing a struggle today or running what seams like a very long race. Whatever your circumstance or trial may be, God is right there waiting to carry you after you've given it all you have and there's nothing left. Press through it because your destiny is great. God is using your trial to prepare you for your future. Genesis 44:4-7
