It was never God's intention to make life difficult.

But it is.

If he and his Kingdom is so good, why then is life so difficult?

We go "all in" with the Kingdom treasures...but our "all in" does grow.

How do we grow in the Kingdom of God?

We're talking about making disciples. But how really do you do that?

Paul shows us from his ministry among the Ephesians how to make disciples of unreached people groups. No matter if those people are down the street or around the world.

When we think of Christianity, we think of morals. It is more than morals. If I'm good. If I attend church. If I have a good job. Everything is awesome.

But there is way more than that. We are empowered to make disciples.

So how do we Hear & Follow to make disciples?

Philip went to those who were unwelcome inside the established religious system. But he was also unwelcome in their culture.

How did he earn an open forum?

The Holy Spirit immerses us. He wants to use us in power. But what does the power go towards?

The Holy Spirit rebuilds us to move us out to build his Kingdom.

But how exactly does the Spirit move us?

Everyone has strengths given by God.

But when the Spirit comes on us, our strengths are rebuilt from worshiping idols to building the Kingdom.

Everyone groans because of weakness. That groaning is actually us looking forward to a better day.

How does God want to rebuild our weakness into his glory?

Our hearts can get clogged with sin so that we don't even want to carry out the good intentions that we get from the rebuilt mind that the Spirit has given us.

So how does the Spirit transform our passions and desires to be more like His? We want to have the desire to unclog the sin from our hearts and go after good things, but how do we get there from here?
