As we have a conversation about eating meals, begin by asking: Do you think eating together matters? Why or why not? What have you found to happen when you sit around a table together with others?

What might change about how you listen and engage with others if you believed God has already started the work of loving and blessing them? What might change about how you listen and engage with others if you believed God has all the answers and wisdom we need?

Luke 10:1-24, Genesis 2:8, 15-17, Genesis 12:1-3

Prayer must be the beginning place of BLESSing because it is in prayer that our hearts become aligned with God’s heart. This is where we get clarity on where God is already at work and how we can join him.

Gen. 2:7, Gen. 12:1-3, John 20:21-22, Luke 10:1-12

God calls all of his people to join him in his mission. The calling is not just for a few, or the religious leaders. The nation of Israel as a collective was called to enter into the promised land. The church collectively is called.

Ephesians 1:22-23, Deut. 1:19-21, Numbers 13:19-33, Matthew 10:16-20, Joshua 6:2-5

Last week we saw Moses beholding the presence of God. He had this moment of intimacy with God at the burning bush. But his moment of intimacy with God did not end at a bush. The intimacy he found led to an invitation to follow YAHWEH in leading Israel out of Egypt. We pick up the story today with Moses having led the people who would become known as the nation of Israel in a different place. They have left Egypt and find themselves in the wilderness.

God speaks into our ordinary lives, transforms everything by his presence, and calls us to do his healing and liberating work in the world.

What if we have been viewing "WAITING" all wrong. What if “Waiting” is actually a core metaphor in the biblical narrative and what if “waiting” is a vital ingredient in the human experience. What if “waiting” is not only normal, but also sacred and essential in our relationship and walk with Jesus?

Have you ever gotten locked into a certain reputation? Maybe you are always known as the late one, the drama one, the life of the party, or maybe it’s the godly one, or the bad one? Hope shows up to those who had earned a reputation.
