More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Acts Series #36 -- Acts 13:1-12 -- "When darkness comes, heaven is near!"
When I read Acts 13, I'm reminded that whenever we go on the mission of God, we step into a spiritual battle. There is darkness in this battle. It may be the darkness that comes in the bitterness of anger, the darkness that comes from depression, the darkness that descends upon a relationship when we just can't seem to find a way to forgive. It's the darkness of choices...that take us away from the light.
Listen the battle's real. I've watched people's lives fill up with darkness. I've watched relationships fill up with darkness. I've watched neighborhoods fill up with darkness. It's real and sometimes the first steps into darkness are so small.
But when darkness comes, God is close. When darkness falls, heaven is not far. So stand in the battle, that's the call. Don't quit. Don't quit. Do not quit. In the end light wins.
