The Lyons-Muir Church Podcast

We all carry burdens. Some are ours to bear, while others become too heavy to carry alone. But what does it really mean to share life together as a community of faith?
In Part 3 of Count Me In, we explore Paul's teaching in Galatians 6:1–10 and discover that Christian fellowship is more than gathering on Sunday mornings. It means restoring one another with gentleness, sharing life's burdens, accepting personal responsibility, and making intentional choices that reflect the love of Christ.
Paul reminds us that we reap what we sow. The choices we make today shape not only who we become but also the kind of community we build together. We are responsible for our own lives, but we were never meant to live them alone.
Join us as we discover what it means to move beyond simply belonging and showing up to becoming a church that truly carries life together.

Life gets busy, challenges arise, and sometimes the easiest thing to do is withdraw. But faith was never meant to be lived alone. In Hebrews 10:19–25, we're reminded that through Jesus Christ, we have the confidence to draw near to God, the hope to hold on through difficult seasons, and a community of believers to encourage us along the way.
In this second message of our Count Me In series, we explore why gathering together matters—not simply as a matter of church attendance, but as an essential part of growing in faith and supporting one another. Sometimes we need someone to remind us of God's faithfulness, and sometimes we're the ones called to offer that encouragement.

What does it really mean to belong to a church? Is it simply showing up on Sunday mornings, or is God calling us into something deeper? In the opening message of our Count Me In series, we explore Paul's teaching in Romans 12:3–8 and discover that the church is more than a gathering of individuals; it is one body, united in Christ, where every person has value and purpose. Through humility, mutual dependence, and the unique gifts God has given each of us, we learn that belonging isn't just about what we receive, but also what we contribute. Because church isn't just a place where we belong; it's a people to whom we belong.

Jesus tells us that to be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven we must become like children. That we are rewarded for heling others to become as children and warned of the consequences of causing other children to stumble. What is our role in this? What does this look like?

What becomes possible when we loosen our grip on what God has placed in our hands? In the conclusion of The Grace of Giving, we turn to 2 Corinthians 9:8–15 and discover that generosity is about far more than what we give away—it is about what God can accomplish through what we are willing to give. Generosity meets needs, creates opportunities for ministry, produces thanksgiving, and points people toward God. As we come to the Communion table, Paul brings us back to where this series began: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” Grace comes first, and our generosity is our response.

What makes a gift truly a gift? In 2 Corinthians 9:1–7, Paul moves the conversation about generosity beyond dollar amounts and into the heart. A gift is more than something we give away, it is something we freely decide to release. In this fourth message of The Grace of Giving, we explore the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping, Jesus’ teaching about money and the heart, and why God desires cheerful rather than reluctant giving. Generosity isn’t simply about giving more; it’s about becoming the kind of people who give eagerly, freely, faithfully, and joyfully because God’s grace came first.

Generosity requires trust, not only from those who give, but from those entrusted with the gift. In 2 Corinthians 8:16–24, Paul goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the church’s offering is handled with integrity, accountability, and transparency. In Part 3 of The Grace of Giving, we explore why faithful stewardship means more than simply keeping the doors open. It means honestly understanding what has been entrusted to us and using it faithfully so that the church has the capacity to serve, respond, and participate in God’s mission beyond its walls.

We often have sincere intentions to do good, but there can be a gap between what we want to do and what we actually do. In 2 Corinthians 8:10–15, Paul encourages the Corinthians to finish what they started, not by comparing themselves to others or giving what they don't have, but by faithfully responding with what God has already placed in their hands. In Part 2 of The Grace of Giving, we discover how grace moves generosity from good intentions into tangible acts that become God's provision for others.

Generosity doesn’t begin with what we give—it begins with what God has already given us. In Part 1 of The Grace of Giving, we explore Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 8 and the surprising generosity of the Macedonian churches. Their example reminds us that circumstances may affect our capacity to give, but grace shapes our willingness. Christian generosity is not rooted in guilt or obligation, but in the generous grace of Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us first. As grace takes hold of our hearts, it transforms not only how we use our resources, but how we offer our whole lives to God.

Faith is easy to talk about when we already know how the story ends. But what does faith look like when we are still somewhere in the middle—when prayers remain unanswered, the path ahead is unclear, and we don't know what comes next? In Hebrews 11, we meet people who trusted God through radically different outcomes: some experienced extraordinary victories, while others died still waiting for what God had promised. Yet Scripture calls them all faithful. As we conclude Help My Unbelief, we discover that enduring faith isn't about having all the answers or knowing how our story will end. It's about running the race before us and keeping our eyes on Jesus—the One who initiates and perfects our faith.
