What does God make holy? God makes us holy through salvation in His Son Jesus, but do realize that God also made time holy. God set apart a 24 hour period of time in order for it to be unique and radically different from the other six days of the week. By listening to this series and message, the plan is to replace our misunderstandings with an accurate view of the Sabbath from God's perspective. The Sabbath isn't a day to do nothing; but rather it is an opportunity to create your favorite day of the week.

What if you view the Sabbath differently? What if you had the opportunity to create your favorite day of the week? What if you could create your favorite holiday and celebrate it once a week? The Sabbath is ultimately a day to enjoy God's presence, people, and provision. Listen to this message and join us on the journey of truly remembering the Sabbath so that it will be set apart, unique, and radically different from the other six days.

In this conversation on A Community of Honor in a Culture of Dishonor Karin and I talk about responding to dishonor with honor. We haven't done it perfectly, but we've learned about from our experiences. Nothing angers one more than disrespect / dishonor, but that's precisely when the need the fruit of the Spirit of self-control. The question that's begging to be asked is simple and straightforward: How? 

How do we humble ourselves?
How do we submit to the process?
How do we trust God's goodness?
How do we deal with injustice?
How do we deal with our feelings?
How do we say less?
How do we fight for healing, honor, and hope?

What does it look like for us to be people of honor in our various roles and relationships? What does honor look like as a child or parent? What does honor look like as a husband or wife? What does honor look like as a follower or leader? 

Lastly, we look at the important role that words play in shaping our lives, communities, and cultures. People live up or down to the words we speak; therefore, it's essential for use words of honor.

The table is the celebration of the sacrifice that occurred on the altar. It's our goal to make communion more sacred, special, and strategic. How, you might ask? By bringing it back to the table. Memories are almost always associated with Meals. "Do this in remembrance of Me" is meaningful in a church service, but we believe it's even more meaningful with a group of friends in a dinner group around a table.

Jesus has erased the distinctions and limitations that we so often put on loving people. He calls us to a higher standard of living and loving. In Luke 10, with the story of the good samaritan, we see a clear picture of the kind of neighbor we have been created to be and the heart we should adopt as disciples of Jesus.

In this conversation on Choose Love Karin and I discuss the application of this message in the context of parenting. What does it look like for us to truly be patient and kind so that our sons and daughters will rejoice in the truth? Nothing comes closer to God's heart than a mother's ability to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things, and never give up.
