Following Jesus: What is a Disciple? part 2

November 8, 2018

But the biggest transformation Jesus makes is in our relationship with God: God is no longer some abstract, unapproachable judge. He becomes our Father, our “abba” who delights in us, sings over us, and gives us access to His presence. So with transformed affection for God we find ourselves wanting to pray, delighting in praise and growing in thanks for all He has given us in Jesus.  And as a result of this new affection, we find ourselves wanting to please Him in every way. 

The Story of God: Return to Egypt

July 9, 2018

Whenever God calls you to serve, you serve under His authority.  That’s what the staff represented to Moses. It was a constant reminder that he was serving under God’s call and his ministry was not really his ministry – it was God’s.  And if you can understand that, it takes the pressure off.  Whenever God calls you to serve, you serve under His authority.  He will help you succeed, because the ministry He calls you to, is what He wants done.  Your success in ministry is not up to you; it’s up to Him.

The Life: Only Jesus

April 24, 2018

If Jesus is big enough to throw off life’s greatest enemy, then Jesus can help you overcome any obstacle.  Only Jesus can destroy any fear that’s holding you back. Only Jesus can defeat any sin that’s enslaving you.  And Only Jesus can remove any hindrance that’s keeping you from bearing fruit for Him.   So the next time you face an obstacle that seems impossible, bring it to Jesus, and wait. Let him work.  He rose from the dead.  He can raise you too.

The Life: Jesus Makes Us Right

April 10, 2018

When you believe that God’s grace can cover any sin, then you can be truly free.  For there is no sin you have committed that is more powerful than God’s grace.  Here’s the reality: If there is no sin a person commits before salvation too great for Jesus’ death to cover, then there is no sin you commit after salvation that is too great for God to cover.  And Jesus made this possible.  Jesus made you right with God and keeps you right with God by grace – so you can find grace whenever you need it!

The Life: No One Like Jesus

February 17, 2018

If you believe that Jesus is the heir of all things, including your life – that means you belong to Him. He created you. He gave you your personality, your passions and your abilities. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. And that means when you trust Jesus to lead your life, no one knows you better than Him. And because He loves you with a sacrificial love, no one will love you better than him.

Everyday Praise: Raise the Roof

January 30, 2018

God wants us to be a faith-filled people: People who trust Him with every aspect of our lives. People who trust Him with our marriages, who trust Him with our families, people who trust Him with our finances, people who trust Him with our time, people who trust Him with our habits and hobbies. Because when we trust Him in everything, we honor Him fully. That’s worship! That’s the kind of worshiper God desires.

Rock Springs Family Values: A Kingdom Mindset

October 24, 2017

So when Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit” – for those who knew they had nothing to bring to the table spiritually – this was good news.   For to be blessed by God meant that God wanted to pour out His favor on you. This was good news because anyone who is spiritual bankrupt knows that they are totally dependent on the mercy of God. And so Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God.” “Favored are you who know you are spiritually bankrupt, for God is giving you life as it was meant to be. Life under the loving reign and rule of God.” How cool is that? God rewards the humble, not the proud, with His kingdom.
