What is the formula for living the abundant life Jesus came to give us? Well, Jamie Grace gives us some clues in her song, "Do Life Big". We jump into a memory verse we've had before, but explore the context even more. How would you define a big life?

On this episode I discuss:

• How I chose this week's song
• Slowing down
• The voice of the Holy Spirit
• John 16:12-15
• Isaiah 30:20-21
• John 10:10 (this week's memory verse)
• Bible study tip of looking at headings to discover context
• John 10:1-5
• John 10:6-11
• Examples of Christ doing life big during His ministry
• Doing life big doesn't exclude pain
• Doing life big doesn't mean moving, but thriving where we're planted

If a character in the Bible were to sing Michael W. Smith's new song, "You Won't Let Go", which character would you choose? That is the thought journey I took this week and I think you might be surprised at who I came up with.

As always, my goal is not for you to focus on the lyrics of the song as much as where it might point you in Scripture.

On this episode I discuss:

• Seeking to see the characters in the Bible as REAL people
• My recent experience of "Jonah" at the Sights and Sounds Theatre in Branson, MO
• Not adding to Scripture, but allowing meditation and consideration to bring characters to life in our minds
• Could Paul sing this song?
• Romans 8:38-39
• Could David sing this song?
• Psalm 23
• Could Peter write this song?
• Peter's sermon in Acts 2
• A discussion on cross references
• Psalm 16
• This Week's Challenge:

Start with Peter's sermon in Acts chapter 2 to understand the cross reference to Psalm 16. Study Psalm 16 this week and consider it in the voice of Jesus.

Esther is a book in God's Word full of compelling characters, tough decisions, God's favor and ultimate deliverance. "Born For This", sung by Mandisa gives us a perfect compliment to what we will read in this story. The song helps the story come alive and will assist you as you meditate on it, consider what God will reveal about Himself and how that revelation should change you!

In its purest form the song "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin acknowledges the greatness of God and then responds in worship.I want my life to follow that pattern, don't you? In this episode, we discuss God's indescribable nature as seen in Isaiah 40 and Job 38. After all of this may we all respond as the song does...with a life of worship.

In order to be redeemed, you have to be held by something, and there must be a redeemer to pay the price. Sin holds every person captive and Jesus paid the price on the cross for sin. On today's episode, however, we learn that it is not until a person recognizes his sin that he seeks to be bought out of the slave market. Big Daddy Weave's song, "Redeemed" leads us straight to Scripture, and today's episode give us a deeper understanding of what it means to be redeemed and ultimately brings even greater meaning to the lyrics of the song.

The song, "Thrive" by Casting Crowns is rich with Scripture and leads us from Psalm 63 in a dry and weary land to Psalm 1 where we can be planted by streams of water, to the Fountain of Living Water, God Himself, and ultimately to Christ who quenches our Spiritual thirst once and for all. Can you believe that we even slip into Ezekiel's vision in chapter 47 and finish off with Jesus' declaration that He came to give us life and life to the full? He came so we can THRIVE!

Matt Maher's song, "All the People Said Amen", leads us to 1 Chronicles this week where we discover that all the people indeed DID say "amen" to a moving song of praise from King David. This week we learn to "put a little work" into discovering gems hidden in Scripture.

This week we use Francesca Battistelli's song, "Write Your Story", to point us to Job to discover God's characteristics and to Romans 15:13 where we see God as our God of hope. Not only this, but we use it to lead us to another habit that will deepen our spiritual walk...and that is the habit of prayer.
