The Experience of His Peace Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

Life this side of heaven is plagued with all kinds of stress and anxiety. This time of year can be especially stressful too. None of us is immune to this reality, but thankfully we have Jesus who the Bible tells us is himself our peace. What a beautiful comfort we have found in him. May you lose yourself in Jesus today and allow him to wrap you in his peace afresh. Bring whatever fears, stresses or worries you have to the risen Christ today, and experience the very real breath of heaven.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Thessalonians 3:16, and today's worship is Perfect Peace by Scripture Lullabies.

The Experience of His Voice Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

As we continue our week on knowing God through experiencing him, today we’ll explore what it means and looks like to experience his voice. This can often be an intimidating topic. Many of us feel inadequate or even unable to hear the voice of God—but nothing could be further than the truth. I hope today you will feel the pressure or weight lift off your shoulders as you learn just how simple relationship with and knowing God truly is.

The Experience of His Love Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

As we spend this week wholeheartedly seeking to know God with all we are, we’ll take time today to experience God’s love for us. We all may live with the head knowledge that God loves us, but go long spurts of time without actually experiencing God’s love. God’s love is most radical and life-changing upon encounter, and it’s my hope today you’ll press into him and really feel first hand yourself how much God truly loves you.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 5:5, and today's worship is How Sweet by Brooke Ligertwood with Brandon Lake.

Today we wanted to give you a preview of a new Guided Prayer that our friend Hannah Smith wrote, titled, “Comfort in Suffering.” May this prayer serve as a reminder to you that the Father of mercies and God of all comfort draws near to the brokenhearted and is compassionate towards those who are suffering. I pray that as this prayer reminds you of the God who is tender with our hearts, you would feel compelled to offer the same care to those around you.
