Struggle Season

Episode 55 - Struggle Season

In today's Bible study, we focus on how we find success in our struggle seasons—those moments where we can’t help but despair that the storms of life are going to overwhelm us.

We’re all too familiar with our collective struggle season that is the COVID-19 pandemic; but how are you coping with your individual struggle seasons?

We’ve all had different sorts of these storms throughout our life: financial storms, health storms, spiritual storms, family storms, and many, many others that we’ve had to brace ourselves against over the years.

Listen in as Milo shares how we may find success amid our most turbulent struggles.

First, he shines a light on the one inescapable truth about our struggle seasons.

He then enumerates what he calls “Success Seven”—seven Bible-based steps we can take to weather life’s storms.

Finally, Milo encourages us to have a circle of Bible-believing friends in our lives who can help us remember and live out the Word as we seek out success during our struggle seasons.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● [01:27] What King Solomon teaches us about our struggle seasons

● [03:54] Opening prayer

● [05:26] Looking For God in our struggle season

● [06:44] The big difference between a struggle situation and a struggle season

● [10:00] The inescapable truth about struggle seasons, courtesy of King Solomon

● [20:51] Success Seven: The first two

● [28:21] Success Seven: The last five

● [36:36] Bible Study Close “Struggle Season”

● [39:19] Closing prayer

Key Quotes by Milo:

● There is a big difference between a struggle situation and a struggle season. A situation simply means “a state of affairs”. [...] They happen all the time and they get solved all the time. But a struggle season—that’s a situation that stays too long. It defines your days.

● Struggle seasons happen from time to time. That’s the one inescapable truth.

● Everyone is either in a storm, headed into a storm, or coming out of a storm. But somewhere, there is a storm nearby.

Key Scripture:

“There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:"

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Free Gold

Episode 57 - Free Gold

"To the Jews who had believed in Him, Jesus said, “If you hold to My teachings you are really My disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

You’ve just read John 8:31-36, and if there’s one thing we can take away from this magnificent bit of scripture, it’s this: Our faith in Jesus is what sets us free, and our faith in Jesus is better than gold.

With Veterans Day upon us, Preacher Milo points to the history of our freedom as Americans as a powerful illustration of how we should celebrate our faith-based freedom as Christians.

He then breaks down our spotlight scripture before giving us two practical ways to apply our God-given freedom to our life.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● [00:44] Our Spotlight Scripture: John 8:31-36

● [02:15] Preacher Milo’s message to all veterans

● [05:22] Opening prayer

● [06:12] Golden

● [07:41] What Veterans Day teaches us about our freedom as Christians

● [09:17] Fun facts about Veterans Day

● [14:53] Freedom

● [17:03] A discussion on John 8:12-30 to contextualize our spotlight scripture

● [22:40] Are you a believer or a challenger?

● [24:26] The three categories of discipleship

● [30:56] Two ways to apply your faith-based freedom in your life

● [36:07] Closing prayer

Key Quotes by Preacher Milo:

● The way in which we celebrate the history of our veterans in America is significant as an illustration to how we celebrate our freedom, not just as Americans, but also as Christians.

● Freedom comes through the Son. The Son is part of the family. The Son of the King is royalty. The Son tells the slave, “You can go. You are free.” You are really free because the Son has the authority to set you free.

● Our faith in Jesus is what sets us free, and our faith in Jesus is better than gold.

● When your faith is genuine and it gets tested, it proves itself to be true faith, because it results in you giving God praise, glory, and honor. Why? Because the truth of Jesus has been revealed to you. You believe in Him. You know Him.
