The Marriage of Faith and Works - June 15 Jun 15, 2019

Show notes

In today’s First15 podcast, we’re going to look together at the marriage of faith and works. One of my greatest struggles is working with God rather than for God. God cares deeply about our work, our impact in this life, but not because he needs us to serve him or work for him, but because he wants to work with us. He wants to give us a picture of his goodness and love at work in the lives of others, and he wants to deepen our relationship with him by identifying and empowering us in our unique calling. May we gain revelation today that would stick, that would transform our understanding and deepen our experience of the connection, the relationship between faith and works.

Our Scripture for today comes from James 2:26, and today's worship is For Your Glory by Craig and Rachel Denison.

Show notes

In today’s First15 podcast, we’re going to look at what it means to pray in faith. We have a good Father who listens to every word we pray, and knows every need of our hearts before we even ask for it.

At the Heart of Faith - June 11 Jun 11, 2019

Show notes

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Faith is the undercurrent of everything we do as followers of Jesus. Without faith we lose all that Christ died to give us while here on earth. It is by faith we access the peace, joy, guidance, love, and purpose that comes from restored relationship with our heavenly Father. In this weeks First15 podcast, we’re going to seek an increase in faith in response to God’s faithfulness. May you experience a greater depth of intimacy with your living, Almighty, and loving heavenly Father.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 2:5, and today's worship is Never Ever by Kristene DiMarco.

Sanctification in the Holy Spirit - June 9 Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

In today’s podcast, we’re going to explore the concept of sanctification in the Holy Spirit. Every day, every moment, God is working to mold us into his likeness. We were made in his image. And the Holy Spirit is so insightful, so good at molding us and correcting us. There is so much peace in store for us if we’ll allow God to take away anything in our life that is holding us back from what we were originally created for: to live free from sin, free from shame, free from the weight of the world, and holy and righteous in him. May you be encouraged as we open our hearts and seek sanctification in the Holy Spirit today.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Peter 1:2, and today's worship is New by Craig and Rachel Denison.
