Our Shared Faith - Sin - We Share Our Broken Condition

Sin separates us from God. But in what sense are we separated? Is it positional or relational? No matter how far we fall and fail, God's love follows us there, right into the depths of our brokenness. That's what a loving father does.

Image of God - Our True Identity

Walk with me through the numerous scriptures that teach the importance of "image". Creating our own does work out so well. Accepting that we bear the image of the Creator is the key to embracing your true identity. 

Waiting on the Lord - Isaiah 40

Waiting on the Lord means trusting in Him like a lamb trusts it's shepherd. Do you trust Jesus to hold you close? 

Growing While You Wait

Lamentations 3:1-33

God is faithful to us, he is GREATly faithful. Beleiving that that is true is most challenging during difficult times. Jeremiah witnessed devastating loss and national tragedy. As horrific as those days were for him, somehow, he was still able to declare to God, "great is thy faithfulness". 

Jesus - Our King

Jesus - Our King

What kind of king is Jesus? How does He lead? What's important to Him? What does he expect of His subjects? The "Sheep and the Goats" gives us a hint.......

Jesus- Our Truth

To be set free by the truth we need to hold to the teaching of Jesus.

(John 8:11-12)

Jesus- Our Light

Christ doesn't just gives us light or lead us to the light, He IS the Light.

Aiōnios -“without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be”

 

What Jesus says about “life” in John’s gospel

God’s will is that we have eternal life - John 6:40

 

Jesus came to give us life - John 10:10

 

Jesus defines “eternal life” - John 17:3

 

Life “in Him” brings light - John 1:4-5

 

Eternal life is both now and yet to come - John 3:16 & 36

This is how we know….

The Command of Christ is Love – 1 John 2:3-11

Relationality - Child of God

Romans 8:5-17

Relationality - Strangers, Foreigners, & Enemies

Even people we don't know, don't like, or see as an enemy have something to teach us about relating to God.
