Hey there! You’re listening to the Faith First Podcast and I’m Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, CT. Did you know that as a believer, you’re to go out and make disciples? Jesus commanded us that He will be with us as we create and grow in community with one another. In this episode, we will listen to a message given by our Lead Pastor entitled, The Community of the Followers of Christ. Let’s listen in…

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What injustice does the church have with newcomers
• Who has been keeping the church quiet
• What impact the church ought to be having in the world
• What God has told the church of yesterday and today

I really don’t know what Jesus would say to our church. Except He would only say what God told Him to say. And whatever it was it would be done with love and the motive to bless and strengthen everyone to encourage them to be a community that follows after Him.

Hey there! You’re listening to the Faith First Podcast and I’m Jonathan Gouthier, your host and a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington, CT. Let me ask you during these summer months, have you kept yourself hydrated? I am sure you have. Well do you know that we must also quench our thirsty souls? That’s what our Lead Pastor and myself will dive into today. Welcome Steve, glad you’re in the studio today.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How is Jesus Christ our living water? We hear this all the time, but maybe we don’t understand what it means.
• Physically, we get thirsty over and over. How is that different with Jesus as the living water?
• What is it that Jesus offers above and beyond all the other things that we do to try to fill our lives?
• Why are we considered vessels for God’s own choosing? What do we hold?

Just as Jesus extended grace to the Samaritan woman, we are called to reach out to those who are spiritually thirsty around us. Whether through a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand, we have the opportunity to show the world the love of Christ that quenches every thirst.
