Out of Love
2d agoTap to summarizeJesus modeled perfect love by giving His life for us. He calls us to love each other as He loves us. When we love God, we cannot help but to obey Him and that love and obedience shows the world to whom we belong.
Transcribe →Ground Zero
3d agoTap to summarizeGod hates evil and promises to hold vengeance in His hands, yet He also uses times in our lives when we feel destroyed to turn us around to follow Him. We will all come to an end in this life whether by death or by Jesus returning, but the question we have to face is where we’ll be after this life. The only way to hold assurance to the hope that is offered through Christ is to surrender to Him, acknowledge our sin, and repent.
Transcribe →School of Fish
4d agoTap to summarizeInstead of focusing on just getting to Heaven, we need to look around for whom we can take with us. When it comes to evangelism and discipleship we need to be trained by others so that we can train others to go and do the same thing. As a Church, we need to work together because our unity, explained only in Christ, will attract more people to join in.
Transcribe →Holy Cow
6d agoTap to summarizeIt is too easy, and sadly too common, to make fun of what other people believe. The truth is that what we believe as Christians is just as crazy to them when they hear the Gospel story. Rather than make fun of someone else’s beliefs or idols, we need to be open to hearing about their beliefs so that at some point they will be open to hearing about ours.
Transcribe →Be Very Afraid
1w agoTap to summarizeThe world is full of “what ifs” that can cause us to fear greatly. When we truly give our lives to God, we can find peace and rest in the fact that He holds our lives and nothing happens to us that He has not allowed and protected us through.
Transcribe →Rest Stop
1w agoTap to summarizeSince creation God has designed everything to need a time of rest. He commands us in the Old Testament to take a day of rest out of every seven days, but too often we get caught up in the busyness of our lives to take a break. Jesus says that we should come to Him when we are weary because He will help carry our burdens and give us the rest we need.
Transcribe →Whole Wide World
1w agoTap to summarizeWhen Jesus left the planet, He gave us the Holy Spirit that empowers us to bring the Gospel message to all the nations of the world. The Bible tells us that it is God’s desire for all to be saved, and we are His messengers sent to the nations to do His work and bring His Kingdom here on earth.
Transcribe →Puzzling
1w agoTap to summarizeJust like Abraham had faith in God and obeyed God’s instructions a little at a time, we need to trust that God has a plan and purpose that we cannot see and we need to simply take each step as He leads. When we obey with each piece He gives us, we eventually see the picture He had planned all along.
Transcribe →Text Messages
2w agoTap to summarizeThe truth and hope that we need in our daily lives is all in Scripture. Rather than assuming that we won’t understand what’s in it, we need to dive deeply into reading the Bible and learning from this text message that God wrote for us to teach us about Him and how to live our lives.
Transcribe →Make Your Daddy Proud
2w agoTap to summarizeMultiple times in the Gospels Jesus shows us a picture of His relationship with the Father by seeking His guidance and approval before stepping out on His own. We need to live in the same way, asking God to show us how to use what He has given us for His purposes and step out in obedience.
