God values rest. He has made every provision and we see it repeatedly in scripture. Will challenges us this week to understand and enter into the rest God intends for us.

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32

Sometimes we find ourselves forgetting that we live in His Kingdom not ours. Laurie encourages us in practical ways how to live aware of His abundance.

He spoke another parable to them, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three [a]pecks of flour until it was all leavened.” Matt. 13:33

This week Steve takes a deeper dive into this verse.

How would seeing others as God's children created in His image change our interactions? Communicating God's love can be done with a look or a simple greeting.

I Cor 13:4-7

Matt. 18:19

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

A powerful word - harmony and becoming!

Romans 12:5 So in Christ we, through many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

This is a powerful reminder that we belong, we are a people. It requires us to plant, to open our hearts to one another. Laugh and cry as your listen to this powerful word.

2 Cor. 6:11-13

Matt. 6:9-13 What has traditionally been taught as the Lord's prayer is much bigger than that. It's not a plea or a formula. It's an invitation to relationship with Father. It's a confident declaration of the heart of God. It reveals both who God is and who we are in relationship with Him.

What we believe about God will dramatically affect every aspect of our lives.

These are pillars for us at New Hope:

God is Good

God is Victorious

God is Father

1 John 4:15 (MSG)

Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.

We are called to know Him intimately and personally.

Give yourself to the season you are in, God is preparing you for what is coming.
