Scripture & Story

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are finishing our four-part series on surrender, an essential, yet not always easy, part of the Christian life.

Did you know there are different levels of surrender, all of which affect our relationship with God? Initial surrender to Christ leads to salvation. But there are times of greater surrender during our lives that bring deeper intimacy with God and greater effectiveness in service. The more areas of our lives we surrender to Him, the more room there is for the filling of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode we discuss the blessings that come with surrender. We lay everything down in surrender as an act of faith, but God doesn't leave us in that place. We lay everything down to gain infinitely more. He blesses us beyond our wildest imaginations.

So grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and get ready for the wonder of the blessings of surrender and join me on the pages of God's Word.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our four-part series on surrender, an essential, yet not always easy, part of the Christian life.

A life of complete surrender is pleasing to God. It results in the greatest fulfillment and satisfaction in this life and will reap ultimate rewards in heaven.

In this episode we will explore what it means to be a bondservant of Christ, and then we will talk about what a lifestyle of surrender looks like.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our four-part series on surrender, an essential, yet not always easy, part of the Christian life.

God demands that we surrender our whole selves to Him - our time, our money, our abilities, our plans, our homes, our stuff, our futures, the people we love the most. We lay all of these things at His feet, trusting that He knows best.

In this episode we are going to search the scriptures for examples of people who surrendered their lives to Christ. And then we will talk about the One who is our greatest example of surrender. Can you guess who that is?

So grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and start thinking about biblical characters who modelled surrender and join me on the pages of God's Word.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are kicking off a four-part series on surrender, an essential, yet not always easy, part of the Christian life.

Surrender is a battle term. It implies giving up all rights to the conqueror. When an army surrenders, they lay down their weapons, and the winning army takes control. Surrendering to God works the same way. God has a plan for our lives, and surrendering to Him means we set aside our own plans and fully seek His. The good news is that God's plan for us is always for our good and His glory, unlike our own plans that often lead to destruction. We surrender to a God who delights in blessing us.

In this episode I will share a story of a missionary who literally surrendered her whole life to the call of Jesus. And then we will talk about what it means to renounce our rights.

So grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and get ready to lay down your best plans and join me on the pages of God's Word.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are finishing our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King. Today's episode will cover Isaiah 64-66.

As believers, we look forward to the new heavens and the new earth, which the book of Revelation describes in detail. But did you know that Isaiah also talks about the new heavens and the new earth at the end of his book? This eternal state was spoken of way back in the Old Testament.

These last chapters contain one of my favourite verses about God looking to the one who trembles at His Word. As we finish this amazing prophetic book, I trust that you too tremble at the awesomeness of God's Word.

I'm so proud of you, friend, for making it all the way through Isaiah!

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King.

Today we will be hanging out in Isaiah 59-63, which contains some pretty amazing truths as well as some very sobering ones. Isaiah talks about Zion, the future glorious city of God where God will dwell with His people. But he also talks about the day of vengeance, a terrifying day in which God's wrath is poured out on His enemies.

We will also talk about one of the most important commas in all of Scripture, and how you and I are living in that comma. Who knew punctuation was so important?!

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King.

Today we will be hanging out in Isaiah 54-58, and they are such rich chapters. We will be talking about why we often turn to the things of this world for satisfaction and fulfillment, and how our gracious God invites us to find true satisfaction in Him alone.

We will also be talking about the kind of worship God desires. He sees right through our outward empty religious activities straight into our hearts. He longs for hearts that are fully surrendered to Him, fully engaged in worship. When we live this way, we find our greatest joy in His presence.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King.

Isaiah 49-53 contains many prophecies of the Messiah, who is called the Servant of the Lord. We get a peek into His ministry and mission and how He came to suffer on our behalf.

These chapters also highlight what it means for us to be servants of the Lord. The New Testament uses the word "bondservants", and we will explore what this word means and what this posture looks like in the life of a believer.

This is such a rich portion of Scripture, and I can't wait to dive in with you!

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are continuing in our series on the book of Isaiah, using my brand-new Bible study called A Coming King.

In our passage today, we are brought face-to-face with our ongoing tendency to turn created things into idols. You see, we were made to worship, and if we don't worship the God of the universe, we will inevitably worship something or someone else. If not submitted to Christ, our hearts become little idol factories. Certainly, idols in our day are far more sophisticated and sneaky than the ancient wooden statue versions, but they are no less present. You and I must learn how to recognize and eradicate idols from our hearts. I am going to share four tests we can use to determine if something has reached idol status in our lives.

We also talk about the Babylonian mentality in this episode. This ancient way of thinking has invaded our culture, and you may be surprised to find it has made its way into your thinking as well.

So, be warned, this episode is nothing short of convicting. I'm betting the Holy Spirit will step all over your toes as He has been doing with me, all with the view of making us more like Christ.

During today's conversation on Scripture & Story, we are starting our brand new Bible study called A Coming King, which is on the second part of Isaiah, chapters 40-66.

Isaiah is one of the richest books in the Bible, filled with messages about God's sovereignty and majesty, prophecies of the Messiah (Jesus is all over this book!), and promises of comfort, restoration and redemption. It's SO good! And this second half is even better than the first!

Encounter a holy God who passionately pursues His children, promises to send a Saviour, and is extremely patient when His people stray from Him.
