Six:Eight

Today we study how being new in Christ means living in light of God’s Word. By studying Scripture in community, we grow to maturity in Christ with the help of fellow Christians.

God’s Word is the believer’s source of truth & wisdom. It should be prized & valued in the believer’s life. Today we explore how memorizing Scripture helps followers of Jesus to lean on its truths in all seasons & situations of life.

Dallas Willard said, “To dribble a few verses or chapters of Scripture on oneself through the week, in church or out, will not reorder one’s mind & spirit - just as one drop of water every five minutes will not get you a shower, no matter how long you keep it up. You need a lot of water at once & for a sufficiently long time. Similarly for the written Word.” TRUE THAT!

How important is the Word of God in life? The Shema gives us a glimpse.

Today we peek into a conversation between Jesus & the Samaritan woman at the well to allow Jesus to teach us what true worshippers are as He did her.

In this discussion of worship being out of an all encompassing gratitude toward God overflowing to others, we find grateful worship translates to giving community.

Today we explore who we are in Christ further, and what that means to our worshipful witness.

This series focuses on the heart of worship, addressing the need to love God & others while living worshipfully in every day life. The way we live reveals what we value most. God calls for worship of our entire being, what we do in life reflects our worship of Christ, or otherwise. Today we learn, worship is all-encompassing gratitude, overflowing to others.

Does it feel like the Enemy’s winning as you look around at life? Maybe there’s a story behind the story where God is working, and His purposes & promises are being fulfilled over time, but that we must simply remain faithful, even in difficulty.

Will we recognize that sometimes bad news is good news bringing God’s healing? Will we answer in faith as Jeremiah did at his worst hour with no support from anyone?
