Inspiring, Educating and Mobilizing the Church
The Word of God is powerful and able to change us from the inside out.
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
Why not start 2024 committed to growing in Christ? It can be your best year ever. God awaits. He has so much to say to you because He loves you more than you can imagine.
Invite God in. He’ll do all the work for you.
What will happen at the end? Who will win? Who will lose?
What is God’s plan?
Join us during December. God will reveal His love for you, and what’s going to happen at the end.
Immersion: Definition of the adjective:
“Concentrating on one course of instruction, subject, or project to the exclusion of all others for several days or weeks; intensive”
How the Church Will Change the World
The local church will change the world when its people live lives according to God’s design for humanity.
God’s design for the life of believers is most detailed in the New Testament.
Join us as we read a chapter or two each day through December and get immersed in God’s plan for believers. Then, live it!
Listening Carefully To Jesus
Imagine what the apostles were thinking and feeling as Jesus spoke His final words to them prior to the cross. They had questions. He answered as best He could, to their ability to understand what was to come.
Consider: How closely am I listening to what Jesus is saying today? Am I hearing what He is telling me is coming?
Join us during August and seek to hear the voice of God.
Ever-increasing knowledge of God
We can never know everything about God. Yet, we can strive to know Him more through His Word, every day. The more word we tuck into our heart, the better our life becomes.
Soak for a moment in 1 Corinthians 13:12:
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. (NLT)
We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! (MSG)
Join us as we continue our journey with Jesus in His Word.
Steadfastly focused on His purpose, Jesus endured continual opposition. No matter how heavy the load was, he continued to press on. He continued to teach, declare and expose the Kingdom of God on earth.
God protected and prevented Him from being arrested and killed before His time. He will do the same for you.
Join us during May as we continue learning from the teacher who never quit.
Jesus. Fully Human. Fully God.
Get to know Him more.
If asked to categorize the relationships you have with people, where would they fit?
The only way to really know someone is to invest your time in them and with them. Listening to their heart and experiences reveals who they really are. It is the essence of human connection. It’s the same with Jesus. Why not purpose to spend more time with Jesus?
Being born-again of the Spirit of God affords one the opportunity to never be thirsty again.
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14
Imagine always being satisfied.
Join us during February as we seek to embed more Godly wisdom into our spirit and soak in the goodness of relationship with Jesus Christ.
So Frustrated You Could Scream?
People and situations can leave us frustrated and even angry. If we allow it, our emotions can get the better of us and cause us to react in ways that are anything except loving.
God calls us to love others, at all times. The question is how can we do that when we are so frustrated? The answer lies in the Holy Spirit’s power within the heart of every believer.
How the Holy Spirit Operates in the Believer
The Holy Spirit living in our heart will always guide us and speak through us to love others…IF…we allow Him to do so. The key is that we must yield our flesh (mind, will and emotions) to the prompting and peaceful voice of God’s Spirit within us.
The Power of Feeding on the Word of God
Every time we read, study, hear and take in the Word of God, the Holy Spirit is powerfully working with our reborn spirit to renew our mind to God’s ways. We leave behind our old ways of acting and reacting and begin to act according to God’s ways.
The truth of God and all of the fruit of the Spirit already reside in the believer’s heart. To love others as Jesus loved us is as simple as allowing our soul to yield to the voice of the Spirit within our heart. Challenge yourself to be intentional about making a daily deposit of the Word of God in your born-again spirit. Remember, what’s in our heart is what comes out of our mouth!
“A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.” Luke 6:45
Fill your heart with God’s Word, and it will produce good fruit! When you least expect it, you’ll hear yourself speaking the Word of God. Celebrate those little victories in your journey with God and be encouraged.
Bearing the fruit of love in our lives requires us to first know the love of God.
Examine the character of God’s love and how we should apply it in our own lives as we read selected Psalms and Proverbs during April.
