The Secret Place

In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek looks at the words of Jesus in John 6; "I am the bread of Heaven." Through Moses's story, Derek unpacks some of the more confusing verses in the New Testament where Jesus refers to Himself as food; "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood, will have eternal life."

Jesus offers us a fresh word every single day and invites us to stand next to Him and view the world from His perspective.

In this episode, Derek tackles one of the greatest challenges for believers, the accusation of sin. Sometimes we focus too much on what Adam did to condemn the world, and not enough on what Jesus did to save it. God promises that we are completely free when we come to Him and He has proven that to us through the life of Jesus.

In this episode, Derek explains the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is very difficult to fully comprehend the Three Head of God, but by looking at Them as a Dance, we can see that They are together in every way, constantly moving back and forth in unison and unity. 

The Dance of The Trinity is not seperate from us, but God invites us to be part of Them and to surrender to Him. Take God everywhere you go today.

In this episode, Derek shares the customs of a traditional Jewish Wedding and how the traditional practice aligns with the words of Jesus. Once the Bride and Groom have decided to get married, the Groom goes away and prepares a room in is Fathers house for them to live in. A while later the Groom returns for the Bride, but only the Father knows when that is.

Jesus is the Groom and He has gone away for a while to prepare a room for us in The Fathers house. At any moment He will return, but we must be ready for His arrival.

After Jesus extends this offer to us, He prays for us, asking the Father to allow us to be one with Him just as Jesus is.

God wants us to enjoy His created world, but there is a difference between the world He created and the world's system.
