MINI: God Wants you to know - Exodus 34:6b May 23, 2024

Show notes

These words are not empty or only applicable to ancient people. This is the character of God. This is what he surrounds us with and the image of himself that he conforms us to! God doesn’t leave you alone to be faithful to him. He is faithful to you above and beyond what we’ve previously known or imagined.

MINI: Becoming Kind like Jesus - Ephesians 4:32 May 16, 2024

Show notes

What does it look like to be transformed by the gospel? We can’t make ourselves new, or shine our light. As humans, we become more like what we are around. If we set our minds on things from our old nature, we become calloused and more like that. When we stand in awe of what he has done and who he is we become more like him.

Maybe you’ve been praying, and it feels like you're begging. Maybe the situation you’re living through has really gone off the rails or feels like it has dragged on too long. You believe if God was going to answer, he already would have. Pray that God will put his patience in your own heart, no matter how impossible things seem. This chapter isn’t the end of the story he is writing for you!

Mini: This Is What Gives Inner Peace - John 15:11 May 02, 2024

Show notes

This doesn’t mean a believer will never experience anxiety. We see all through the Old Testament people of faith wrestling with anxiety and intrusive thoughts of doubt. What separates you out as a believer is you have the Holy Spirit in you to strengthen you as you speak truth to your anxieties and intrusive thoughts.
