The Fullness of Joy Oct 17, 2021

Show notes

In our third day of looking at Joy, we’re going to take time today to look at David’s statement in Psalm 16:11, where he describes a “fullness of joy.”

There is a greater fullness of life available to you and in me in God that most of us will ever experience. To experience more of God almost always requires laying down more of the things of the world. But if we, today, will give a greater measure of our hearts over to God, we’ll find greater joy than we could have imagined experiencing this side of heaven.

May your heart be filled to the fullness today as we experience God together.

Our Scripture for today comes from PSALM 16:11, and today's worship is Goodness of God by Bridgetown Music.

Strength in Joy Oct 15, 2021

In a world that knocks us down, joy can feel so elusive. But Scripture is filled with encouragement, that there is a joy available to us in God that transcends the pain and suffering of the world.

This week on the First15 podcast, we’re going to take time every day to open our hearts and receive the joy of the Father, that we could be children marked by the joy of heaven.

May you discover the greater portion of joy available to you through the Spirit as you encounter the heart of your Father this week.

Seeking God through Community Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

In today’s devotional we wrap up our week on seeking God by looking at the act of seeking God through community. You may be a people person, or a total introvert, but either way, God wants to use his church to encourage you and draw you closer to him. The Lord loves unity in his body, and he longs for his church, his Bride to worship and seek him as one. May God open your heart and mind today to the community in which he’s placed you in this season.

Seeking God in Solitude Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

As we near the end of our week on seeking God, today we will focus on seeking God in solitude. Our world is a busy place. Our home lives are busy. Our church lives are full. When are you ever alone to simply fix your eyes on the Father, and be uninterrupted by the things going on around you? If we will take up the discipline of solitude, our lives will look very different. Imagine for a second the inner peace and sanity you could gain if you set aside consistent time to seek God in solitude. May you be encouraged to do just that as you experience the nearness of Jesus today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 14:23, and today's worship is This Close by Steffany Gretzinger feat. Chandler Moore.

Seeking God through Worship Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

Worship through song is one of the most powerful ways to connect directly to the love, compassion, power, and grace of God. In worship, walls we’ve placed between God and us get torn down, just as God tore the veil at the death of Christ. In worship, our hearts become soft, aware, and open to the glorious majesties of God’s nearness. In worship, God makes his nearness known to us and fills us anew with the power of his manifest presence.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 132:7, and today's worship is Psalm 34 (Taste and See) by Shane & Shane.
