Questions/Issues Discussed:

The Biden Administration is blaming big processing plants as the cause of escalating beef, pork, poultry, and egg prices. Who is really to blame? Sid admits that this is the only issue that he and Biden agree on.

The Biden administration wants to give a billion dollars to the small packing plants to break the monopoly of the big ones. Is this a good or bad plan? Sid Miller explains how a free market is the best solution.

What three things does Sid Miller propose to bring down costs? Sid discusses investigating the Big 4 Packers, specifically the suspicious fire at one of the plants. He also believes ranchers need to be fully compensated for their steers, therefore lowering prices to consumers, and opening more farmers co-op plants.

How can Jesus be God’s son, the Savior, and a Conqueror all at the same time?

TURNING POINT

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

Before the Christmas break, Pastor Jarrett Stephens and others from CFBC were preaching from the Book of Acts. Pastor Jarrett continues in the series this week with his sermon “Turning Point”.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

Scripture Passage: Acts 13:1-3

Questions/Issues Discussed:

SEEK AFTER GOD: Through Worship

Worship – a right and willing response to who God is and what He does.

Do you worship while you work? You should be!

Why should we participate in both private and corporate worship? Pastor Jarrett encourages everyone to get back into church as soon possible. Quit staying home – unless you’re sick, of course!


SEEK AFTER GOD: Through Prayer and Fasting

Prayer is communion with God. Prayer connects us with God.

Fasting is abstaining from something physical for a period of time in order to seek God in a deeper more meaningful way. Fasting is starving the flesh and feeding the Spirit.

Alabama Pastor Chris Hodges with Church of the Highlands: “Prayer connects us to God. Fasting disconnects us from the world.”

Bill Bright, former leader of Campus Crusade for Christ: “I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest around the world.”


Tune in tomorrow as Pastor Jarrett preaches more on the importance of fasting.
