Josh Riebock podcasts@joshriebock.com no Josh Riebock The relationship between experiencing God and obedience We want to know God and experience Him intimately and profoundly, but it feels like often we couldn't tell anyone anything about Him that they couldn't learn from a book. We know about Him, but we don't really know Him personally, as if He has revealed Himself to us. So what are we missing? Examining John 2, Josh describes the powerful relationship between living as a servant and experiencing God. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20071009WillHunting.mp3 Sun, 12 Oct 2007 10:00:00 CDT 33:58 josh riebock christian sermon christ gateway servanthood faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Wandering into thirst quenching belief in Jesus It's easy as Christ followers to live our lives as if belief is a one time event, rather than an ongoing journey. As a result, many of us don't feel the kind of fulfillment that Jesus promises us. But when we are willing to wander into the daring, beautiful, intimate, and deep warehouse of believing in who Jesus is, we find that believing in Him is every bit as fulfilling as He promises. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20070819IntoTheWarehouse.mp3 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:00:00 CDT 30:11 josh riebock christian sermon christ gateway servanthood faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Stop Giving Thanks and be Thankful Often times we view giving thanks as a practice we participate in, but by viewing it that way we miss so much of what God wants to do in our lives, and it leaves us performing a hollow ritual. Thanks is ultimately not about participation. It's about transformation, and God longs to transform us into people who are truly thankful. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20071118ThanksForNothing.mp3 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 18:00:00 CDT 27:12 josh riebock christian thanks christ gateway thanksgiving faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Reaching Beyond Those You Love What if the people you meet as you step into heaven are not those you love but those you hate? Not a beautiful picture is it? But to Jesus it is. What is even more beautiful in His eyes is helping usher heaven into the lives of those we hate now. This is perhaps the greatest form of evangelism. So the question is, who do you hate? http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20071209TheGoodSamaritan.mp3 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 19:30:00 CDT 34:34 josh riebock christian christ gateway samaritan faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Breaking Out of a Black and White Life Most of us want to live a full color life of adventure, but so few of us do. So how do we break out of an ordinary life and encounter the exciting life that we want? There is only one way, and it is scary. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20080130StationWagon.mp3 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 20:00:00 CDT 35:26 josh riebock christian christ gateway faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Walking in wisdom through this complicated life Life is fuzzy sometimes. Relationships. Circumstances. Decisions. If only fortune cookies could produce the wisdom that we need to navigate life, many of the destructive and foolish decisions we make could be averted. But, of course, they don't. So how do we walk in wisdom through this complicated life? By turning to the ultimate source. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20080301FortuneCookies.mp3 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 15:00:00 CDT 34:44 josh riebock christian christ gateway faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Responding to our internal mess As we get older we begin to get things together externally. Our hair gets combed. Our shirts get clean. Our laces get tied. But getting things together internally never seems to happen, thanks to sin. Sin is real and it is destructive. The real question, is how do we respond to it? http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20080331ThatGirl.mp3 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:00:00 CDT 40:54 josh riebock christian christ gateway faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock Living life with a magnificent purpose Our souls crave to know that we have a purpose. A significant role to play within in the human race. That purpose give us an incredible gift. It gives us a reason. A reason to live. A reason to care. A reason to use our gifts and talents. Purpose is what moves us forward. It is the reason for which we live. But many of us are uncertain as to what our purpose is, and even fewer of us ever live out that purpose. So how do we take hold of our purpose? http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20080601LeavingOnPurpose.mp3 Mon, 01 Jun 2008 09:00:00 CDT 39:54 josh riebock christian christ gateway faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock The White Flag In an interview with Andy Baxter, Josh and Andy discuss the tendency as humans to give up on people who, in our eyes, are reluctant to change and the hope that a big God offers us in relation to them, and us. http://www.joshriebock.com/_podcasts/redirect.mp3?file=JNF_JoshRiebock20080802ConversationsAndy.mp3 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:00:00 CDT 31:08 josh riebock christian christ gateway faith scripture discipleship God Jesus Josh Riebock The powerful ways of Jesus that are disappearing from Christianity The transformational ways of Jesus are disappearing from Christianity and our world. Intimacy with Christ has been replaced by morality and religion, wild faith has been substituted with safety, sacrificial love has become merely charity, and living for others has morphed into living for things. As a result, the world is suffering and those who consider themselves Christ followers miss the life God invites us to. So what would it look like to live the Vanishing Gospel? What might change? How might we change?
