Encountering God through the Receiving of His Presence Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

Many of us know God’s presence is always available to us, but rarely do we take a second to become aware of how near he truly is. Today we’ll explore what it means to encounter God through receiving his presence. This simple concept has radically changed my life, and it is my prayer it changes yours too. May we learn to practice God’s presence on a regular basis and see his goodness flood our lives.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:7, and today's worship is Where You’ll Find Me by First15 Worship feat. Mark Alan Schoolmeesters.

First15 Worship is here!

As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:

“Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”

At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.

Encountering God through Worship Jun 21, 2021

Show notes

Worship is essential to a vibrant, thriving Christian life. In worship, much like thanksgiving, we are reminded of who our God is, and who we are. Worshipping Jesus grounds us in our identity because it reminds us whose we are and all that he has done on our behalf. Jesus is worthy of all our worship, and it’s my prayer today that you have a fresh encounter with him through this transformative avenue.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 29:2, and today's worship is Oh The Love of God by Covenant Worship.

Encountering God through Faith Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

Having consistent and transformational encounters with God while on earth is meant to be foundational to the Christian life. Our God has not left us. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we’ve been filled with the very Spirit of God who longs to reveal to us daily the nearness and love of our heavenly Father. We are never alone. There is nowhere we can flee from the presence of our God. May this week be filled with transformational encounters with the living God as we learn what it is to seek the face of the one who has formed us, knows us, and loves us unconditionally.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 11:6, and today's worship is Jireh by Elevation Worship & Maverick City.

Rejoicing and Weeping with Others Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

In today’s devotional, we’re going to continue our series on the marks of a true Christian by looking at Paul’s encouragement to rejoice and weep with others. One of the most powerful acts of love we can make is to follow the way of empathy and compassion. Jesus allowed himself to be burdened by others burdens, pained by their pain. And may we follow the way of our Savior today as we spend time in his word, and in his presence.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 12:15, and today's worship is I Am Loved by Mack Brock.

Truly blessing those around us that seem to be against us is an incredible act of love, producing fruit not only in the lives of others, but in our lives as well. May God give us insight into his heart for this command today, as well as the courage to live it out.
