Lee shares from 1 Corinthians 13 this morning.

Lee some prophetic, with some down-to-earth thinking to guide us.

Today, we’re exploring the power of exhortation—the call to urge, uplift, and encourage others toward faith, righteousness, and action. Exhortation is more than encouragement; it is a strong, heartfelt push toward growth, obedience, and purpose in Christ. 

Hebrews 3:13 tells us: 

 "But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." 

Today, we are diving into the incredible power of edification—building one another up in faith, strength, and encouragement. 

In 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul tells us: 

 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 

The word "edify" means to strengthen, uplift, and support. As believers, we are called to speak life, encourage growth, and help each other walk closer with Christ. When we practice edification, we not only bless others, but we strengthen the Church, deepen unity, and reflect the heart of God. 

Let’s explore what edification looks like, how Jesus demonstrated it, and how we can practice it daily. 

I want to talk about something that has the power to uplift, strengthen, and renew our spirits—encouragement. 

Encouragement is more than kind words—it is a gift we give one another, a force that helps us press on when we feel weary, and a reflection of God’s heart toward His people.

Today, we’re diving into one of Jesus’ most profound teachings—the Parable of the Four Soils, found in Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23. 

Jesus often used parables to teach deep spiritual truths through everyday examples. In this parable, He describes four types of soil, representing the conditions of our hearts when we receive God's Word. 

Let’s explore each type of soil, reflect on where we stand, and discover how we can cultivate fruitful, spiritually rich lives. 

Knowing the Heart of the Father 

Today, we are diving into something foundational—the attributes of our Heavenly Father. To understand who we are as His children, we must first know who He is. 

Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as our Creator, Protector, Provider, and Loving Father. When we grasp His nature, it transforms our faith, strengthens our trust, and deepens our relationship with Him. 

Let’s explore the key attributes of our Father, supported by Scripture, examples, and applications for o

This Sunday, Lee will share on Elisha meeting with the widow in a time of need.He is diving into one of the most powerful stories of God’s provision and miraculous overflow—the story of Elisha, the widow, and the oil in 2 Kings 4:1-5. This passage teaches us that no matter how empty we feel—whether spiritually, emotionally, or financially—God sees us, hears us, and provides more than we expect. He specializes in taking what little we have and multiplying it beyond our imagination. Let’s explore how this story relates to our lives today.

Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG) says: 

 "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” 

What does it mean to live in the unforced rhythms of grace? It means moving not in striving, but in God’s flow—where peace replaces pressure, joy replaces burden, and rest replaces exhaustion. Today, we’ll explore how to embrace God’s grace in our daily lives. 

Lee talks about one of the most foundational commands in the Christian faith—walking in love. Love is not just an emotion; it is an action, a lifestyle, and a reflection of Christ in our lives.
