Hello and welcome! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut and host of the Faith First Podcast. We remember birthdays and anniversaries. We remember holidays and special events. One thing as believers we ought to remember is the sacrifice of Jesus, why? Because He changed everything. In today’s episode, we will discover just how Jesus changed everything in this message by our Lead Pastor Steven Darr. Let’s listen in…

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why it is necessary to remember Christ’s death
• How the cross changes sin and death
• What do we mean by atonement
• What the new covenant means for us

The cross is the foundation for the future renewal of heaven and earth, where all things will be made new. Because of His sacrifice, we can be made new, our lives can be made new, through it, He changed everything. We hope we helped to clear up the reason for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Without it, things wouldn’t change. With it, everything soon will be changed. If you’ve been listening to the Faith First Podcast for a while, we thank you.

Hello, I’m Jonathan Gouthier a pastor here at First Church in Torrington, CT and you are listening to the Faith First Podcast. Have you ever brought home a new piece of furniture that had to be assembled and tossed the instructions aside thinking you knew already how to build it? I know I have. Well, I am sure, like me you ended up consulting those instructions during the process. Even in our spiritual lives there are instructions to follow and that’s what we are going to discuss today. Welcome Pastor Steve…

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• So many listening out there I know have searched how to find out God’s purpose for their lives without even opening up the instruction manual. Where would you suggest those individuals start so that they understand the instructions God has given?
• How do we actually step out and DO the word of God?
• Paul even said, I do that which I don’t want to do and I don’t do that which I ought to do. In what ways can we find joy through obedience?
• How come we think of following Christ, obeying God an obligation?

God’s word provides us with moral guidance helping us discern from right and wrong, and how to live righteous lives. It is through obedience that our relationship with God is strengthened and we learn to trust and rely on Him.

Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast! I’m Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, Connecticut. I am sure sometime in your life you have chosen not to follow the instructions. Sometimes when we don’t follow instructions things turn out not so good. But when we do follow instructions things usually turn out well. In today’s episode, we will be listening in on a message given by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr on following Instructions.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The difference between “have to” and “get to”
• Obedience as a means of showing love
• How to obtain success
• How to obtain joy and satisfaction

There is nothing more important in a Christian’s life than following the will and commands of God. When we follow God’s word it is a way of expressing our love and devotion to Him. In John 14:15 we read If you love me, keep my commands. Our obedience is a tangible way to show God we love Him.
