Hearing the Voice of God
Do you know what God's voice sound's like? Have you developed a consistent awareness which empowers you to follow His leading? A disciplined walk with God is how we learn to make consistently faithful choices. It's what made Joseph's life "interruptible" to God. Consequently, God could depend on Joseph. This message shows us how to live in such a way that God can speak to us and use us in His plans.
The Kingdom Forcefully Advances
What does it mean for the Kingdom of God to forcefully advance? How do we partner with God to be a part of His Kingdom work? In this message you will discover what it means to refuse the enemies schemes. To refuse the normal fallenness that keeps us divided and at war with one another. Beyond that, you'll hear God's call to pick up the ball and run with it. To run like you have been invited to welcome and advance God's Kingdom on earth.
We Are Not Abandoned
In the midsts of this Advent Season, the gospel calls us to remember that we are not abandoned. There is a kind of comfort that actually comforts. There is a way through even the most difficult circumstances. And there is something we can depend on. It is the presence of Christ among us. It is the presence of Christ building community among us.
This week, we wrap up our series on wisdom with a profound teaching from James that defines wisdom in its most gracious and fruitful form. My deep prayer as we have walked through the Word looking for signs of wisdom is that you have been challenged to care more intentionally for your own mind, seek more intentionally the mind of Christ, and pray more fervently to be transformed by the renewing of your mind ... so that we can all love God with all our minds!
The Humble, Audacious, Mind of Christ
In our series on wisdom and the mind of Christ, we’ve learned that there’s a strong connection between wisdom and humility. But . . . isn’t humility kind of wimpy? Isn’t it out of fashion in our current culture? This Sunday we’ll hear the Apostle Paul face those questions head on. In the first two chapters of 1 Corinthians, we’ll find out what he has to say about wisdom and weakness and what it means to have the mind of Christ. To Paul, Jesus's humility is not to be confused with weakness or timidity. Following a humble, gentle Jesus into hostile environments takes a great deal of audacity which is only possible in the strength of the Holy Spirit.
Wisdom & Assumptions
Often assumptions color what we see more than what is seen itself. Wisdom calls us to check our assumptions at the door so that we can receive revelation from God -- so we can see things the way He sees them. Join us this Sunday as we learn from Jesus and His cousin John the Baptist about how to walk in godly wisdom which comes through revelation from the Father.
Solomon’s Prayer
Solomon had an unexpected encounter with God. In this encounter we discover the great connection between a discerning heart and God's wisdom. Join us for this message over 1st Kings 3.
Daniel 12 The Good News of Judgment Day!
Daniel 12 finishes this unique book of scripture in a powerful way. It asks us to consider where God might be in the midst of a world where suffering and evil is far too common. Daniel’s vision inspires the faithful to remain faithful as well as warns against living without as sense of the wisdom of God. Ultimately, it calls us to consider the suffering in this life as an opportunity to be refined by God so that we may one day reign with Him.
