Starting from where he left off last week - ‘how do you see Jesus?’ - Jonathan takes us through the book of 1 Peter and teaches on Christ’s example to us of suffering. There are two types of suffering, and two effects of fire - one to purify and one to punish. He finishes with three personal words of encouragement. One from Peter himself, one from Oswald Chambers, and one from he and Lizzie’s life in an apartment.
Sam shares a word from Exodus 25 regarding the Lord's desire to dwell in our midst and what that means from a practical standpoint. The layout of the temple defines four different positions for the New Testament believer.
Andy Brickley shares his heart concerning the practical benefits of the gospel to a lost and dying world. It impacts everything from marriage, to family and finances!
Tamsel shares an encouraging word out of the Psalms she received this last week. A child-like Church is learning to overcome! Lizzie follows with a word in season for the body.
Walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit as taught in Romans 8. Sam shares the key is the intentional setting of our minds on the things of the Spirit. This is what enables us to come into alignment with the Holy Spirit's leadership.
Eric Loss shares an encouragement about how the Lord brings His children into “broad and free places” and delights in them. We obey Him because we love Him!
Jonathan opens us with a primer from Psalms 86 asking the questions, “Who is God?” and “Why did He make us (or anything) in the first place?” Hint: We are made in His image - to be fruitful, multiply and fill!
Sam discusses three powerful dynamics within the Lord's Prayer as found in John chapter 17 and how as well as why it is a call for unity within the Body.
