In the Meantime May 01, 2023

Show notes

God has a way of bringing us to in-the-meantime seasons – a place where you feel stuck in the middle of where you used to be and where you want to go. In Genesis 39, this is where Joseph is at. God often does His most significant work in our lives during this time if we let Him. But it can be hard to trust that He’s working even when we don’t see it. What God has for you is better than what you could ever imagine for yourself. But how do you follow Him in the meantime?

Family Matters Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

The story of Joseph is the story of a family and God’s faithfulness to them. What does it mean to have God working in and through your family? The reality of family is that you’re connected to a people whether you realize it or not, and where you come from shapes you in significant ways. Unless you allow your relationship with God to shape and refine you, all of your outward faith will have very little impact on your family, and unhealthy patterns will persist. But the good news is God is faithful in spite of your unfaithfulness. What could happen in your family because of your obedience?

A Resurrection Life Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

We shouldn’t just go back to our lives after Easter. The resurrection changes everything. Erwin McManus said, “Eternal life is not something we get when we die. Eternal life is something Jesus has already given us that can never be taken away." Because of the resurrection, we can have courage over fear and a life of purpose.

Easter with Church on the Move 2023 Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

In Ephesians 2, Paul explains our condition: we were dead in our sin, buried in shame and brokenness. We have to be willing to face the reality of our condition. A lot of people believe in Jesus but have never actually received the free gift of grace through faith: this is a gift of resurrection. God being rich in mercy has made us alive in Jesus. And when you meet the real Jesus, there’s no going back.

Prayer Is Pursuit Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Fasting is an unreasonable habit to draw us closer to God, and prayer is how we turn our physical hunger into spiritual hunger. When we pray and fast it gives us the opportunity to run after God in a way that we typically don’t; it increases our level of dependence. God wants you to pursue Him. Every time God calls His people to seek Him, He promises that they will find Him.

Fasting: Obedience in the Present, Preparation for the Future Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

There’s tension in the Christian life: the already and the not yet. Our view of the future determines how we live. We're not called to obsess over the future, but to be faithfully obedient in the present. Spiritual disciplines like fasting help us stay obedient in the present, worship God with our best, and prepare for what’s next.

Combatting Complacency Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever made a vow to yourself that you’d never do something only to do that very thing? In Mark 14, we see this happen to Peter. When you live life on autopilot you do things you never thought you would. We need spiritual disciplines to keep us combat complacency and the desires of the flesh. Spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting help us focus our attention so that we can be alert to and aware of God.

Watch and Pray Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus invited the disciples to, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). It’s all too easy to live life on autopilot, but what if you’re missing something important because you’re not fully awake?

Whether it’s busyness, distraction, discouragement, or selfishness, there’s always something vying for your attention and priority. Jesus invites you to wake up and pay attention. Through obedience, repentance, and communion with God in prayer, let’s enter into a season of awareness.

Renewing Your Mind Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

When you’re a Christ-follower, you’re not just a follower of teachings; you have become a new person. With every miracle, there’s a process. You being reborn in Christ was a miralce, but the renewing of your mind is a process that you have the responsibility to see through. Luckily, you have the power to do this living inside you through the Holy Spirit. Focusing and meditating on Scripture is essential to this process. The Word of God, spoken by the believer, connects the spirit of the believer to the power of God. It was when you have renewed your mind that you can truly start walking in the Spirit.

The Church and the World Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

There are two kingdoms: the Church and the world. The tension of being in Christ and also a citizen of the world is a tension God’s people have always had to wrestle with. If you’re going to win the war against the world, you’re going to have to set some “unreasonable” boundaries. Saying “no” to the world means saying “yes” to the church. When God calls you out of the kingdom of darkens, He plants you into a kingdom of believers - His Church.
