In our day to day lives we experience a culture that asks us to embrace its values without a second thought. If we are Jesus followers we have a new Kingdom that is now ours through the new birth. We have three main issues that keep us from seeking God's Kingdom and embracing its values as our own. Those three issues are: love of the world, idolatry, and disobedience. We work through those issues in this study.

What are good prayer practices? Nehemiah's Prayer in Nehemiah 1 gives us an excellent framework for understanding the why and the how of prayer. His example will challenge us.

Do we want to do what God calls us to? Each year we are faced with what we want to be about, thinking that we need to reinvent ourselves, when all we need to do is start doing or keep doing the thing that God called his Church to in the first place. He wants us to be serious about making disciples.

This is a discussion about faith in Jesus the Saving King, the nature of it and what it means to have a faith in Him that is sincere, genuine and without hypocrisy. I think this is an important and neglected discussion that the Biblical Authors talk about much more than we do. May we examine ourselves to see if we are in Christ (2 Corinthians 13:5).
