Join us as we do a deep dive look at Pastor Tim Travis’ messages: Being Thankful (Part 1) – Let Peace Rule, Be Ye Thankful & The Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Part 3) – Containers, Not Producers
Are you trying to manufacture your own spiritual strength, or are you allowing God’s peace to rule your heart with genuine thanksgiving? In this week’s Deep Dive podcast we explore two powerful teachings that redefine how we view our daily walk and Christian service. In “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Part 3),” we are reminded from 2 Timothy 2 and John 15 that believers are not producers tasked with fabricating spiritual power, but rather yielded clay and clean containers designed to hold and pour out the Master’s grace. By purging ourselves of worldly entanglements and remaining abidingly connected to the True Vine, we become vessels of honor ready for His work. Then, in “Being Thankful (Part 1),” Pastor Tim Travis turns to Colossians 3:15–17 to address the heart of biblical gratitude. Rather than letting difficult circumstances or bad attitudes cloud our outlook, we are commanded to let the peace of God rule our hearts and offer up praise as a continual sacrifice—thanking Him above all for the unspeakable gift of salvation and our present-tense victory in Christ.
