:15 With Andy, Randy, & Jeff

We like to be in charge.  We like the planning and the scheduling and the organizing and having the final say in what happens and how it happens.   However, our desire to be in charge is only an effort to exert control over things none of us can actually control.  What if we let go (even just a little bit) because God is in control?  Luke 10: 38 – 42 This is a part 1 of 2 and a predecessor to one of our rare “.5” episodes here on the podcast!  As discussed in this episode, here is the link to watch Dorcia Jolliff’s message:  http://hospitalchurch.org/sermon/god-is-in-control/.

Going from a seemingly easy and full life to one that quickly became broken in all manners — physically, emotionally and spiritually. The Monnier’s journey to embrace this new path required overcoming many hurdles. Understanding that there may not be physical healing to come, but spiritual health, is the most important prescription God provides.

Why is God faithful to us, and what happens when we are faithful to God? Faithfulness is the basic ingredient to begin a relationship with God. Faith is the connecting power into the spiritual realm, which links us with God and makes Him become a tangible reality.

Grace is one of the attributes of God’s character that has such drawing power. It’s a simple concept: being given something good that we don’t deserve. Yet it boggles the human mind—so much so that many of us have a hard time accepting God’s generous gifts to us. Ephesians 2:8-9 One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS this week asked: Think of a time in your life when you were given a gift that you didn't earn and didn't deserve.

Our God is a personal God, and we all relate to him in different ways. He is also a creative God. His creativity is wonderfully on display in nature and human creation, but most importantly throughout our everyday lives. We can trust our God to be in control and that he has a plan for our lives, but more importantly that he has already creatively mapped out how we are to live the rest of our lives with him in Heaven.

“In Christ,” slaves and free people are one. Distinctions in the body of Christ over position, career, or income are not to be. The one with little economic or no economic lifting power has the same respect, vote, and participation as the person with huge economic lifting power. No preferential classifying based on these distinctions is valid in Christ’s Body.

This hurts the heads of some of Jesus followers. However, Paul is clear in this most personal and self-defining of all distinctions, that in Christ they are gone and irrelevant. The old mindset of “headship” is gone; “in Christ” that is all reversed. There can be no roles withheld or conferred based on gender identity.

What the church is called to is oneness! We, being many – from many nations, cultures, backgrounds, races, language groups, political persuasions – “in Christ” we make up one, ONE Body of Christ. This was radical teaching for Paul and his Jewish culture. It was radical teaching in the Roman culture of hierarchy and privileges based on those very identities. It is radical teaching today in 2019 in our country and our world. Jesus’ Body, the church, is called to be the place where these human distinctions are totally irrelevant. Galatians 3:23-29One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS this week asked: What does it mean for you, to be called to love your enemies? Have you found a way to love your enemies?

Jesus knew who he was. Time spent with the Father confirmed his identity, and this gave him power to face challenges, heal others, and eventually sacrifice his life. Who are we? Who are we called to be, and what influences our understanding of our identity?Matthew 3:16-17 | Speaker: Steven ArauzThis week our #fhcTAKEAWAYS came in the form of a guided plan for Creating An Identity Chart. Even if you are confident about “who” you are through God’s eyes, take a few minutes and work through the questions. It’s a good mental exercise to remind ourselves and lift us up or solidify our confidence in “who” we are.What is your favorite thing that God sees in and believes about you?

In honor of those that have fallen, defending our country and our freedoms, this weeks episode features a short story that highlights one of the greatest military hero’s the world has ever known. A man who knew how to float, leaving God in charge, in situations most of us can never hope to understand. A war hero without a gun and Christian misfit. The soldier nobody wanted and that everybody loathed. God took the most undesirable and made him into the one weapon no one wanted to do battle without. A soldier that did no harm, held no grudge, left no one behind, and made himself last at every possible moment.

We love to get applauded for our excellent performance and be handed the trophy. We live in a world where rewards go to the victorious, and so we expect that the whole Christian thing is about performance and measuring up. But it’s not really about my performance, my measuring up, or even my being faithful. We need rescue. We have two natures that war, and the only answer isn’t getting by with a little help from our friends. We need transformation.#fhcTAKEAWAYS video links for this week: * Happiness Revealed talk on gratitude: movingart.com/portfolio/gratitude* Song: “Son of David”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tio1uqDPM6w* Russ: vimeo.com/336980985What have you learned during this Victorious Life Series has caused you to view God differently or changed your approach to your spiritual journey? dPlease reach out to us directly from the FHC Mobile App. You can share by using the Media tab, and then - Podcast banner - use the text and email share buttons, or use one of the following:■ Text/Voicemail: 407

Jesus spent time with the Holy Spirit and the Father. Scripture documents his time in the spiritual disciplines of fasting and prayer. It was after practicing these disciplines that he faced the temptation.

It is so easy to point the finger at where we imagine the fault to lie. We often think of temptation as coming to us from “out there” somewhere, like a villain coming and knocking at our door to lure us away. We may be surprised by a couple of realities: We can’t be tempted by something we don’t want, and the surprising source of our temptations.James 1:13-15One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS stated: How can you help someone learn to float in God’s love and grace?We would love to hear your story!

How does a complex and sometimes disturbing natural world shape our understanding of its Creator? Are our ideas about God limited by our discomfort with His creation? Is the nature of the natural world in conflict with the One who made it, or is the very things that surround us and overwhelm us a true reflection of who He is?One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS stated: What is your spiritual cockroach that you haven’t been able to see through the Creator’s eyes?We would love to hear your story!

It may be the boldest of all the bold asks: “We want you (Jesus) to do for us whatever we ask!” It seems without limit—beyond three wishes of a genie. There is no doubt that we often don’t realize the long-range implications of that for which we ask. Jesus will teach us that his kingdom isn’t about position and power but something far different than what these brothers had in mind.Mark 10:35-45One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS stated: How do you handle God saying, “you don’t know what you’re asking”?Please reach out to us directly from the FHC Mobile App. You can share by using the Media tab, and then - Podcast banner - use the text and email share buttons, or use one of the following:■ Text/Voicemail: 407-965-1607■ Email: podcast@hospitalchurch.org■ FHC Mobile App: Media Tab/Podcast Banner and Use Text and Email links■ Social Media: #fhcPODCAST / #fhcTAKEAWAYSTune in every Wednesday as we take a look back at our prior week's message for unique takeaways, added perspective, and a peek at the upcoming message at

Jesus isn’t just willing to respond to the bold ask of the leper; he does the unthinkable. He does what is not to be done; he puts himself at risk of disease, at risk of being shut out of the temple. He touched the man. But the bold ask of the leper to be healed is followed by a bold ask of Jesus for him to keep quiet about it and follow temple protocol. However, he doesn’t meet Jesus’ request, and the results complicate Jesus ministry.

We have often heard the ask of the one thief: “Remember me…” However, both thieves crucified with Jesus made bold asks. How do they compare? Why was one an ask of faith and the other something less? Both were asks for self, but one was short-sighted, and the other took the long view. What were the results of these two bold asks, and what is the teaching that can shape our faith walk today? Luke 23:39-43 One of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS stated: Why was the thief able to see Christ for who he really was, when nobody else could? Not even his disciples.Please reach out to us directly from the FHC Mobile App. You can share by using the Media tab, and then - Podcast banner - use the text and email share buttons, or use one of the following:■ Text/Voicemail: 407-965-1607■ Email: podcast@hospitalchurch.org■ FHC Mobile App: Media Tab/Podcast Banner and Use Text and Email links■ Social Media: #fhcPODCAST / #fhcTAKEAWAYSTune in every Wednesday as we take a look back at our prior week's message for unique takeaways, add
