As we wait for the Lord’s second advent (His return), we best find instruction for an overcoming life in the main and plain of God’s Word. It is in meditating on every word and promise of God that we learn to take every thought captive to the truth. This is how we give expression to the new life that is ours in Christ.
God’s love often exposes the places where we hide and calls us out to be vulnerable and ready for growth. In this place, we become focused on giving as opposed to getting. This sacrificial love is the best gift we have to offer.
God opened heaven and came to the lowly shepherds, revealing His salvation in a manger. In the same way, God comes to each of us regardless of our station in life, and the revelation of His grace produces great joy. In this message, Darrell exhorts us to make this joy a lifestyle through all the challenges that come our way. So, He fills us with the joy of His presence.
God's invitation to peace shows us a different way to live. It requires us to trust and walk in the peace that comes from knowing Jesus. The question is, “Will we accept this invitation?"
Simeon was given hope that he would see the salvation of God before He died. He realized this hope as he held the baby Jesus in the temple. In this message, Darrell encourages each of us to consider what promise God has given us and the corresponding hope He is inviting us into. This hope never disappoints.
Darrell shares with us in this message the indispensable role of the community of faith for the individual believer. It is this CHURCH that moves with compassion in the name of Jesus when need arises. As they do this, people are blessed, chains are broken and hope rises out of ashes.
In considering generosity and thankfulness, Jacob suggests in this message that we must wrestle with risk in our call to follow Jesus. He explores the unbelief and fear that can surface as we step into the unknown and take seriously the call to be thankful and generous.
The work of Christ on the cross and His forgiveness produces a thankful heart. It also produces a generosity that is “pressed down and running over.” Darrell reminds us in this message that the person characterized by generosity and thankfulness will find his life enriched and overflowing with blessing.
Darrell exhorts us to live a generous life free of judgement and one that builds community. It is in journeying together, that we access the freedom of the cross and freedom from fear. Life together in Jesus transforms.
