John 6:25-59

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” (John 6:27) These were Jesus’ words of encouragement to the crowds that had been following him for the signs He was performing. Jesus told them He was the Bread of Life and that in Him was eternal life. He told them that the work of God was to believe in Him. We can apply this to our own lives by believing in Jesus and laboring first and foremost for food that feeds our soul. We can do this by reading the Bible, contending against the enemy through prayer, and fighting sin daily. This is the only thing that will last forever.

John 1:6-51

We must keep the cross and the testimony of Jesus before us. Just as John the Baptist testified, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” So must we bear witness to Jesus, declaring His testimony to the world. He has made us free!

Rejoice in the Lord

Rejoice in the Lord and we will be found in His righteousness! (Phil 3)

Worship

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church.
Ephesians 1:22
Jesus is the center and focus of our worship and we worship Him simply because of who He is. When we center our lives around Jesus, we receive Heaven’s perspective and can be encouraged, strengthened, and refreshed from being in the presence of God.

Galatians 6:1-10

Let us be the people who fulfill the law of Christ: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind - and love your neighbors as yourself. This is how others will know that we belong to another Kingdom, The Kingdom of God, through our submission to the Law of Christ.

Galatians 5

Jesus set us free from condemnation, guilt and shame, fear of punishment and sin, and we no longer have to conform to the pressures of our culture or worry about what others think. We are free! But, Paul exhorts us to use our freedom for good - to love and serve one another and those around us. Oh how we need to be with the Father, to be filled by His love, in order to love those around us!

The King and His Kingdom

Thank you Tyrone Daniel for reminding us to find our significance in Christ! “ Our revelation of Jesus determines our mission and our mission determines our local church.” We desire to be people living for the King and His Kingdom!

Galatians 3:1-14

Paul uses the example of Abraham to debunk the belief that people can be declared righteous by God based on their own actions and reinforces the fact that true righteousness comes only through faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. This righteousness is available to all nations!

Walking into our Inheritance

God has a spacious place for us and we enter in by faith, receiving all that Jesus has won for us. Because of Jesus we are co-heirs with Christ and can live finding our joy and hope in Him, despite our circumstance. We can dream big in Him, not living in fear of the unknown or wishing for what’s familiar but trusting in our big God and His good plans for our lives, moving into the more He has for us.

Being Faithful in the Suspended Seasons

James encouraged us to be faithful in the “suspended seasons” and to stand and fight for the unity of our local church by honoring one another. Fight now for what is coming and fight now for now, because how we walk into our inheritance is flavored by our faithfulness with the right now. When we do this our local church becomes dangerously effective for the Kingdom.

Abraham: Friend of God - Genesis 21

God always fulfills His promise! We see His faithfulness through the humanly impossible birth of Isaac, which brought joy to Sarah and Abraham. This is a foreshadow to another miraculous birth of Jesus two thousands years later, which brought joy to all mankind! Let’s tune our ears and hearts to hear God’s specific promise for each of us!

Building a Healthy Relationship with God

Thank you Ken for reminding us that God desires to speak to us. God wants us to know that we are dearly loved and treasured by Him. The way for us to know that is through recognizing His voice, from all the other voices, and listen to His voice.
