NORTH.CHURCH Podcast with Pastor Rodney Fouts
The Physician's Perspective | Week 5 | Struggling to Thrive
In week five of "The Physician's Perspective", Pastor Rodney's sermon, "Struggling to Thrive," centers on the challenges faced by the early church in Acts 6 and how these struggles relate to the church today. He highlights internal conflicts, such as the discrimination between Greek-speaking and Hebrew-speaking believers, emphasizing the importance of unity, service, and wisdom. He also addresses external threats, like persecution, which paradoxically led the church to thrive and spread the Gospel. The sermon calls for embracing diversity as part of God's plan and emphasizes the role of the next generation in continuing the mission. We are encouraged to obey Jesus, preach His message, expect miracles, and disciple others, ensuring that the church thrives amid struggles. Listen and be challenged.
