At the end of your rope doesn’t have to mean end of all hope.

A crazed lunatic living in the hills was something the town had grown accustomed to. A healer and redeemer who was more interested in the rescue of a man than the success of a local business was frustrating and unpredictable. The crowd missed out on salvation. The monster was turned back into a human and given dignity and eternal life.

Pastor Jamie shares his struggle with writing and marketing his book and discusses the path of Moses as he was taken into the shadows for God to prepare him for what was ahead.

A mother, often hidden in the shadow of her own son, was a wonderful woman named Jochebed. She displayed a courage, love, and faith in God that is exemplary and inspiring.

With a clear invitation to engage and embrace the kingdom of God we explore what our role is in this new kingdom.  How have we been equipped and where do we go from here?

Jesus presents Himself in His resurrected body to His disciples.  He offers them reconciliation and serenity. To keep peace from turning to strife, however, it must be passed on. Jesus sends His followers to give their blessings away.

In this final petition we are asking God to prepare us for what we are not yet aware of.  We pray this way because most temptation comes to us in disguise.  With awareness we are confronted with an ever present decision: Receive or wait and receive vs. steal or take prematurely.

Asking God for forgiveness and forgiving others is about more than just clearing your sin account.  It is about a re-alignment with the Kingdom Way.

Our daily need for food is meant to be a constant reminder. We are not our own source of sustenance. We are all in need. Needs when understood in the light of the Kingdom are gifts.

In praying Kingdom come we are bringing the focus of our moment into a longing for the kingdom’s full realization.  The obedience in prayer is in itself an action of hope, a reminder that restoration is coming.
