The Father's House Augusta Podcast

"Learning from Jesus:  Blessed are the Merciful"In Matthew 11 verses 28-29, Jesus invites His followers to “Learn from Me because I am gentle and lowly in heart.”  Jesus further says in John 8 that He does nothing of Himself but only what the Father shows Him.  Mercy is something we all need from God and from each other.  And it is equally something God commands we should give.  Mercy is not just a biblical concept--it is forgiveness in action, and as Praisy George shares, it must come from the depths of our hearts as an act of love towards others.   There is a blessed revelation of mercy found in seeing circumstances from God's perspective towards us.  Join Father’s House Augusta as we begin to get a fresh revelation of Jesus for our lives as we dive into the Beatitudes.

“Learning from Jesus:  Those Who Hunger & Thirst"In Matthew 11 verses 28-29, Jesus invites His followers to “Learn from Me because I am gentle and lowly in heart.”  Jesus further says in John 8 that He does nothing of Himself but only what the Father shows Him.  Righteousness is the character of Jesus, and it has the power call things to transform into the way God sees it should be.  So often, we want things to be made "right," but we are welcomed into an awareness to see ourselves and our circumstances through the lens of truth so God can express His righteousness into the situation.  The point of awareness is often the beginning point of transformation.  Our posture must be to become hungry and thirsty for righteousness to work itself into every facet of life.  Join Father’s House Augusta as we begin to get a fresh revelation of Jesus for our lives as we dive into the Beatitudes.

“Learning from Jesus:  Blessed are the Meek"In Matthew 11 verses 28-29, Jesus invites His followers to “Learn from Me because I am gentle and lowly in heart.”  Jesus further says in John 8 that He does nothing of Himself but only what the Father shows Him.  Jesus is meek, and He invites us all to live in meekness as we interact with others.  Meekness is not weakness, but in many ways, it is controlled strength. Guest speaker, Doug Tesch shares his heart and understanding of meekness as we learn together how to "inherit the earth."Join Father’s House Augusta as we begin to get a fresh revelation of Jesus for our lives as we dive into the Beatitudes.

“Learning from Jesus:  Those Who Mourn”In Matthew 11 verses 28-29, Jesus invites His followers to “Learn from Me because I am gentle and lowly in heart.”  Jesus further says in John 8 that He does nothing of Himself but only what the Father shows Him.  Mourning is inevitable for everyone at one time or another in our lives.  We mourn different things, and for different reasons, but the act of mourning is essential to our emotional and spiritual well-being.  Whether we are grieving  loss or the wrestling with the effects of sin, the Lord provides a blessed-ness to "redemptive mourning" as we lean into the  help of the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.  Join Father’s House Augusta as we begin to get a fresh revelation of Jesus for our lives as we dive into the Beatitudes. 

“Learning from Jesus:  Poor in Spirit”In Matthew 11 verses 28-29, Jesus invites His followers to “Learn from Me because I am gentle and lowly in heart.”  Jesus further says in John 8 that He does nothing of Himself but only what the Father shows Him.  Jesus walked in such humility by emptying Himself towards us as our High Priest.  He then invites us all to live like Him.  It’s in poverty of spirit that draws us into a truly blessed life of humble obedience and neediness of the Father.  Join Father’s House Augusta as we begin to get a fresh revelation of Jesus for our lives as we dive into the Beatitudes. 

At Father's House Augusta, we have the desire to create a resting place for the Lord where He can rest in a holy habitation among His people.  Psalm 132 expresses the desire to build the Lord a resting place where His presence can be fully welcomed and manifested on the earth.  Join Pastor Chris Jones as he describes the heart of becoming a corporate and personal dwelling place of the Lord in order to make His name famous among the nations.  

The upper room was an invitation from the Lord to take His people deeper--Passed religious duty, passed distraction, and passed busy-ness into a place of living filled, and consumed by Jesus.  The Lord wants to dwell amongst His people, and He draws His people into the depths of worship, intercession, and intimacy with Him.  Join Praisy George as she takes on a journey from being empowered of the Spirit to becoming a people zealous for Jesus and passionate in our pursuit of Him.  

When we are caught up in the rat race of life--full of hurry, comparison, and pressure--we often miss moments of rest the Lord is inviting us into.  In making room for rest and quietness, we are able to tune our ear to the still small voice of God, thus giving us strength, confidence, and trust.  Join Pastor Tommy Ridgeway as he shares about engaging with the Lord through communion and rest.  

The writer of Psalm 19:14 offers the prayer, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight."  Everyday life can present to us busy-ness, clutter, and overwhelm.  The pattern of the world has us so full and distracted that we find little time authentically drawing near to God.  Most of the circumstances of life tend to fill our minds and weigh heavy on our hearts.  What consumes us often influences our beliefs and actions.  Join Pastor Chris Jones as he describes how to approach the Lord through Biblical and holy meditations.  

Matthew 5:8 states, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."  So much in life takes up space within our hearts, and therefore robs us of the meaningful fellowship God is calling us into.  In the third part of our series called "Creating Space," Pastor Chris Jones takes us into the discussion of allowing the Lord to align our hearts to His in purity and devotion so that we may see, perceive, and attend to Him in lifestyle of worship with delight and authenticity.  Will you pursue purity of heart as an expression of your desire for more of the Lord?
