    Episode 18.1

    What’s Your Ladder?

    I remember my first car-driving lesson. This one was with my mom and we went to an empty parking lot to practice so I wouldn’t have to deal with traffic.

    Sometimes you need a little help to get going on a new thing. Other times it is a good idea to set up your surroundings to make it easy.

    How do you set up to make learning to meditate easier?

    Building a ladder in Mexico

    A Biblical Example

    Genesis 24:63-65a

    63 He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel 65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”

    Challenge: Find a way to make meditation easier this week. Whether you have to change or make something or just find the right spot.

    Episode 43 Goosebumps or Obedience

    Let’s Get Invisible: Leftie

    Point of worship isn’t goosebumps. What is the point?

    “The real question in worship is not, ‘What will meet my need?’ The real question is, ‘What kind of worship does God call for?’” (Foster, 170)

    1st John 3:2 “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”

    “Just as worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience. If worship does not propel us into greater obedience, it has not been worship.” (Foster, 173)

    Challenge: Lead at least two other people into worship this week.

    Episode 42 A Sacrifice of Praise

    A sacrifice of praise

    Hebrews 13:15-16

    15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

    Can’t make you feel like not worshiping, so hard to challenge, but I have an idea that is related:

    1st Thessalonians 5

    16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

    Challenge: Give thanks for distractions during worship this week

    This Episode Show Notes

    Episode 41 Holy Expectancy

    “One reason worship should be considered a Spiritual Discipline is because it is an ordered way of acting and living that sets us before God so he can transform us.” (Foster, p.166)

    Yes we are dependant on God’s touch, but we can takes steps to open up to Him. (farmer analogy)

    “Activity is the enemy of adoration.” (Foster, p.161)

    Referencing Jesus’ assessment of greatest commandments: “The divine priority is worship first, service second.”

    Frank Laubach constant conversation with God and Holy expectancy (Foster, p.162-163)

    Challenge: Arrive to worship service room 10 minutes earlier than normal. Perhaps go to the balcony. Pray, lifting first your heart to Jesus and praising him. Pray for leaders of service. Pray for people entering room.

    Could go further, getting extra sleep Saturday night, reading over song lyrics beforehand, going for a walk before entering church.

    Episode 40

    John 4:19-24

    19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

    21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

    V.23

    • The Father is seeking worshipers

      • V.24

      • God is spirit, we are spirit/flesh hybrids. In worship, physical can only ever be a means to help our spirit to connect with God.
      • Worship in the Spirit
      • Worship in the Truth

        • “We are to present our bodies to God in a posture consistent with the inner spirit in worship. Standing, clapping, dancing, lifting the hands, lifting the head are postures consistent with the spirit of praise. To sit still looking dour is simply not appropriate for praise. Kneeling, bowing the head, lying prostrate are postures consistent with the spirit of adoration and humility.” (Foster, p. 169)

        Challenge

        Three times while you are worshiping this week, think about the truth of that worship moment and find a way to express that truth with your physical body as you attempt to express it with your soul. Explore physical expressions you do not normally do.

        Receiving a confession part 2

        Gleaned from Celebration of Discipline p.154-157

        • Already talked about living under the Cross.
          • Nothing someone says can disturb us
          • Frees us from temptation of “Spiritual Domination” (use confession against someone, attempt to control them or straighten them out)
          • Keep confidence
          • Prepare with prayer.
            • Asking for more of Jesus to shine through us: His love, acceptance, forgiveness…
            • For discernment, how to minister post confession
            • Asking Jesus to stand in-between
            • Pray for them while they share
            • Be silent while other shares. (NO offhanded comment to relieve tension, no prying for more information).
            • Silence in the room can be a powerful open door for the person to share more.
            • In the authority of Jesus announce forgiveness
            • Pray out loud with the person. For healing of inner wounds from the sin. Feel free to lay on hands

              Giving a confession part 2

              Gleaned from Celebration of Discipline p.151-154

              • Give specific, concrete sins.
              • Don’t be overly concerned with mentioning every small details
              • Sorrow is necessary to a good confession. “Sorrow as it relates to confession is not primarily an emotion, though emotion may be involved. It is an abhorrence at having committed the sin, a deep regret at having offended the heart of the Father.”
              • Ask God for a “yearning for holy living, a hatred for unholy living.”
              • You don’t have to convince God to forgive, in fact He is working to help you desire His forgiveness.
              • Have a clear end point on self-examination. (Don’t let it grow into a permanent habit of self-condemnation, “Confession begins in sorrow, but it ends in joy.”

              • Who to go to.
