Taking a few minutes to refocus and remember why we are named “Equip” - Jonathan reads & teaches from Ephesians 4. We believe the Sunday morning meeting is a wonderful supplement to the main house church meetings!
Sam McVay shares a word about how God works through His creation (us) to fulfill His purposes: redeeming, ruling and filling the earth. He does so through an assembly, an “ekklesia”, the church! Ephesians 2:22 (ESV) says “In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” The ekklesia is THE visitation and administration of God's heavenly glory and government on earth. Jesus is bringing a Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, not starting a religion.
Isaiah 64:4 sets up the template - God works on behalf of those who obediently wait (in prayer) on Him. The formula is the same in Acts (at Pentecost), and the same for us today. In Luke 18, Jesus reminds us that prayer is good, hard work that requires endurance. Jonathan teaches about the problem of “perceived value” in prayer, and offers an example of choices to three children. “There is treasure in the work”. Praise the Lord He works on behalf of bruised reeds & smoking wicks like us!
Jonathan shares a communion meditaion from 1 Corinthians 10 where, as the body, we are admonished to continue in deep fellowship with God and with one another.
Jonathan continues his teaching from last week on Prayer. This week, he focuses in on warfare against prayer - specifically “Fullness” (Revelation 3:17) and “Dullness” (1 Peter 4:7).
Jesus the Son was told by the Father, “Ask Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance” (Psalm 2:8). This serves as our template for interaction between heaven & earth - ASK in order to receive! Jonathan teaches through several scriptures and quotes several fathers in the faith concerning the topic of prayer. “Wherever He has engineered your circumstances, pray.” - Oswald chambers
Jonathan shares about the GLORIOUS gospel of Jesus Christ - the New Testament “Joshua” who came to save us from our sins. He then teaches out of Luke 1 concerning the people being led into paths of peace. The resurrection of Jesus secured three types of peace for us: Peace with God, Peace with others, and Peace in our souls. For unbelievers and believers: Invite Jesus in today!
Jonathan-leads focused, intercessory prayer based on Isaiah 49:8-9a for those captivated by addiction, bitterness, unforgiveness, and darkness. We pray for freedom in the name of Jesus. As we are called to be a house of prayer, there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain.
