This is The Way – Devo Day 47

In the Middle of a Cultural Pivot 13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding…

The Discipline of Journaling Many have found that keeping a journal helps them better understand their process of spiritual formation superintended by the Holy Spirit. By recording your interactions with the Word of God, your feelings and insights from the stream of your life, and your God sightings (in nature, in people, in circumstances) you’ll have a chronicling of your spiritual development. Journaling is not just an introspective exercise, it is also a method of keeping track of what the…

This is The Way – Devo Day 31

Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are. Jose Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher It’s amazing how accurate a personal profile can be compiled from your online purchases, your calendar, your social media feed, your video/audio streaming selections, the books your read, the podcasts you listen to, and the video you watch. It’s also pretty scary when we realize how much we have been influenced by Madison Avenue, Wall Street, Washington DC, Hollywood,…

This is The Way – Devo Day 26

The Extremes of Spiritual Development It’s easy to slip into the extremes of spiritual development. The first extreme overemphasizes our role and minimizes God’s role. This position is characterized by the mentality of striving and living for Christ. It emphasizes knowledge, rules, rededication efforts, and human activity, and it undervalues the work of the Holy Spirit. The second extreme (the opposite of the first) overemphasizes God’s role and minimizes our role. This position is characterized by a let-go-and-let-God passivity. It…

This is The Way – Devo Day 20

16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is…

This is The Way – Devo Day 11

Have you ever noticed how hard, crazy hard, it is to change your habits and life? It’s February, how are you doing on your New Years’ resolutions? Why do you think that no matter how much you want to change, no matter how beneficial the change would be, we almost always fail or come up critically short? Patterns and habits of life (even dysfunctional and addictive) are burned into our brains making them almost impossible sometimes for us to change…

This is The Way – Devo Day 9

Gimel – Psalm 199:17-24 17 Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. 18 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. 19 I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! 20 My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times. 21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments. 22 Take away from me scorn and contempt, for…

Galatians #breakingchains

The Apostle Paul makes a passionate defense of the essential nature of the Gospel and the grace of God in his letter to the Galatians. In his letter, Paul earnestly maintains that the true Gospel of Christ involves freedom from legalism and freedom from the power of sin. Come and experience true freedom by living by the law of Christ (love and grace) and living dependent on the Holy Spirit. #breakingchains

My parents say that from the age of 2, I told people that I would grow up and be a missionary.” In…

GOD is for …

Many in our culture, who might even believe that there is a God, think that he is distant, uncaring, a cosmic killjoy or just waiting for them to mess up so he can punish them. Starting Sunday, September 10th, we’ll devote 6 weeks in a sermon series that just touches the truth of all the things that God is for. Come and learn the truth about God and how he feels about you, your life and those around you. This would…

It’s a Resurrection Story

Hope is a powerful thing but it is in short supply these days. But can you imagine the hopeless that the disciples felt when Jesus was crucified and all their hopes for the future died with him? What they didn’t know was that on the morning of the third day Jesus would break the shackles of death when he rose from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus was the greatest demonstration of the power of God in all of history and is…
