Keep the Faith In The Marketpalce 02/10/2025

Keep the Faith In The Marketpalce Pastor Andrew Burchfield's sermon, "Keep the Faith In The Marketplace," encourages listeners to integrate their faith with their work and daily lives, viewing the marketplace as an essential place for ministry and leadership. The sermon reframes conventional ideas about leadership, wealth, and the role of faith in professional settings, inviting believers to see their work as a calling and an opportunity to positively influence the world around them. Redefining Leadership and Marketplace: Pastor Andrew reinterprets conventional definitions, broadening their scope to include everyday interactions and environments [1]. Leadership: Leadership is defined not by title or position but by the ability to positively influence the atmosphere and attitudes of others daily [2]. This definition encompasses various roles, including parents, employers, and employees [2]. Marketplace: The marketplace is any arena where conversations and influence occur, extending beyond traditional business settings to include schools, volunteer work, and even casual encounters at grocery stores [3, 4]. According to Pastor Andrew, the marketplace is a space for meaning, influence, and moments that honor Jesus [5]. Biblical Basis for Prosperity: The sermon addresses common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity, arguing that God empowers individuals to create wealth and achieve success [6]. Deuteronomy 8:18: This scripture is foundational, asserting that God gives people the power to generate wealth [6]. The sermon references multiple translations to highlight different aspects of this power [6, 7]: NIV: God gives the ability to produce wealth [6]. New Living Translation: God gives the power to be successful [7]. Amplified Bible: God gives the power to make wealth, remembered with profound respect [7]. Pastor Andrew clarifies that the ability to create wealth does not negate the need for hard work or the potential for hardship [6]. Old Testament Examples: The sermon cites numerous figures to illustrate that faith and prosperity are not mutually exclusive [8, 9]: Abraham: A wealthy livestock owner [8]. Isaac: Successful in agriculture [8]. Jacob: Managed large flocks and strategically bred animals [8]. Joseph: Managed a national food supply chain in Egypt [9]. Boaz: A wealthy landowner and grain merchant [9]. Solomon: Involved in international trade and shipping [9]. Lydia: A seller of purple cloth [9]. New Testament Examples: Peter, Andrew, James, and John: Fishermen before becoming disciples [9]. Matthew: A tax collector before becoming a disciple [9]. Practical Ways to Keep Faith in the Marketplace: Pastor Andrew offers practical guidance on integrating faith into daily interactions and professional conduct. He shares four ways to keep the faith in the marketplace, noting that six more are available on bwc.online [10]. Conversations: Words have the power to shape the world [10]. Referenced Scripture: Colossians 4:6 advises that speech should be gracious and thoughtful [11]. Character: Personal integrity influences one's impact [12]. Referenced Scripture: Proverbs 10:9 states that integrity ensures security [12]. Creativity: Innovation is a divine gift for solving problems and shaping the future [13]. Story of Bezalel from Exodus 31:2-5, who was gifted in creating the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant [14]. Consistency: Consistent actions create significant influence [15]. Referenced Book: The Atomic Habit by James Clear highlights the power of small, incremental improvements [15]. Referenced Scripture: Luke 16:10 emphasizes faithfulness in small matters [15]. Analogy of a Guitar: To underscore the importance of consistency, Pastor Andrew uses the analogy of a guitar. He explains that just as each string on a guitar must be properly tuned to create harmonious music, different areas of our lives (emotions, appearance, desires, physical health, and eternal perspective) must be consistent to live in harmony with God's will [16, 17]. Each string represents a different note: E, A, D, G, B, and E [16]. When one aspect is out of tune, it affects the overall quality and effectiveness of our lives and witness in the marketplace [16, 17]. /episode/index/show/believersworldoutreachchurch/id/35277990

Keep the Faith: Marriage, God's Design, and the Church 02/02/2025

Keep the Faith: Marriage, God's Design, and the Church Join us as we dive into Pastor Peter's powerful message on "Keeping the Faith for Marriages," delivered on February 2nd, 2025. This isn't just a message for married couples; it's a call for the entire church community to embrace a gospel-centered worldview on marriage [1]. Pastor Peter emphasizes that marriage is a divine creation intended to reflect the sacrificial love of Christ for his bride, the church [2]. He encourages the church to be advocates for God's view of marriage, blessing it rather than fighting against it [3, 4]. This message will inspire you to see marriage through God's eyes and to understand its importance in the broader scope of faith and community. Sermon Notes: The Call to Breakthrough: Pastor Peter opens with a call to prayer for personal breakthroughs, whether financial, relational, or spiritual, emphasizing that God is the source of breakthrough [5]. He urges the church to believe for each other's miracles as much as their own [5]. Generational Faith: The sermon is part of a series called "Keep the Faith," focused on passing faith from one generation to another in various categories [5]. Pastor Peter highlights the importance of generational revival and actively participating in God's plan for families, businesses, churches, and cities [6, 7]. Key Scripture: Genesis 1:27 & 2:24 God created humankind in his image, male and female [1]. A man shall leave his parents and hold fast to his wife, becoming one flesh [1, 3]. This "one flesh" union is central to God's definition of marriage [8]. The concept of "leaving and cleaving" is introduced [8]. Leaving: A man's primary loyalty shifts from his parents to his wife, marking a transition to maturity and responsibility [8, 9]. Cleaving: A man is to cling to his wife, sharing a fully integrated life, overriding even blood relationships [9, 10]. Marriage as a Covenant: Marriage is not just a contract between two people but a covenant involving God, which provides the strength and grace to honor the union [9, 10]. The Importance of Godly Foundations: The sermon highlights the need for a strong foundation in God's Word regarding marriage and family [4]. It encourages intentional conversations about God's design for marriage and family [2]. Marriage as a Reflection of Christ: Marriage is meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church, highlighting sacrificial love and devotion [2, 11]. The Church's Role: The church is called to support and uplift marriages, avoiding gossip and negativity, instead, encouraging and believing in the strength and longevity of marriages [10, 11]. The church should be a place where couples can find encouragement, and not judgment [11]. A Call to Action: Pastor Peter concludes with a call for the church to actively engage in ministry to strengthen marriages and offers an invitation to those who want to be on the "front lines" of supporting marriages within the church [11]. He emphasizes the power of a couple’s testimony and legacy [11]. Personal Anecdote: Pastor Peter shares his own experience of receiving a blessing from a woman who had been divorced, emphasizing the transformative power of God's grace and healing [11]. Key Takeaways: Marriage is a divine institution, not just a social construct. The church community plays a critical role in supporting and upholding marriages. God's grace and mercy are available to all, regardless of their marital history or current situation. Marriage, as defined by God, is between a man and a woman. The concept of "one flesh" highlights the profound union and commitment within marriage. This podcast episode is an invitation to delve deeper into God's design for marriage and the essential role the church plays in fostering healthy, God-honoring relationships. /episode/index/show/believersworldoutreachchurch/id/35153630
