Jonathan Edwards is famously quoted as saying, "Lord, stamp eternity upon my eyeballs." This eternal perspective is essential for every Christian – for though we are in this world, we are not to be of this world. In this Daily Thunder message, Philip Hartman exhorts believers to have this eternal perspective as he examines what Scripture says about faith, our "home", and the life of every Christian.

Study: 3 – Believe Your Savior

This is the third installment in Eric’s Friday morning series – The Gospel Toolkit. In this series, he is breaking down the 35 individual processes that the human soul must navigate through in transferring from Darkness unto Light. This particular episode lands on, what is arguably, the most significant stepping stone in the entire process – that being the action of believing. For those of you that have a desire to better understand what faith is and how it mechanically works – then this is a good place to start.

Study: 4 – The Kingdom Promised

After the Fall of humanity with our rebellion and rejection of the Kingdom and life of God, we see God seeking to save that which was lost. In Genesis 12, a dramatic shift takes place in Scripture where God calls Abraham to leave all that he knew to follow and live by faith – going to a place where God would show him … a place that demanded Abraham to live by faith and dependency every day. In this fourth episode of the Saga of Scripture series, Nathan Johnson examines the life and faith of Abraham and compares it to the life of Lot – in the end showing how Abraham received the promise of the Kingdom and how his life was a foreshadow of how Christians are still called to live today: by faith, in dependence upon the King.

Series: Ephesians Bible Study
Study: 4 – You Are Blessed (Ephesians 1:3)

God is blessed … and from that state of blessing, He blesses us. As Paul talks about this incredible reality in Ephesians 1:3, he reminds us that every single blessing God has for us is found in one single place … and that by blessing us, God in turns receives our praise, worship, thanksgiving, and adoration (in short, we declare the greatness of Who He is – "blessing"). In this lesson, Nathan Johnson expounds upon Ephesians 1:3 looking at the three blessing words used in the verse and how we, as Christians, are to live in the blessing of God – you are blessed!

Study: 7 – The Body

This is installment #7 of Eric’s Glossary of the Gospel series which he is delivering weekly on Monday and Wednesday mornings.  In this particular episode he tackles the intriguing idea of “the body.” Understanding the purpose and practical use of a body is central to the formation of a healthy Christian life.  Jesus Christ Himself had a body, and with that body He powerfully demonstrated to us the glory of God - but more, He also revealed how our individual bodies, as Christians, are supposed to be used for the glory of God.   

Paul commands us to have the mind of Christ in Philippians 2:5 … but what does it mean to have His mind, what does that look like, and how do we showcase His mind in our world today, specifically in the Body of Christ. In today's Daily Thunder, Nathan Johnson examines this passage and exhorts us to have the mind, attitude, and orientation of Jesus Christ – which is a life of a servant, marked by humility and obedience.
