🏔 Promised Lands ⛰️

Abraham was promised by God:

"Go to a land that I will show you,

And I will make you a great nation;

I will bless you And make your name great."

How did this promise pan out for Abraham's descendants? And what does this mean for Christians today?

SAMSON 🏋️‍♂️

Divine calling and spiritual gifts alone are insufficient without the development of godly character. No one quite exemplifies this truth beside Samson. A man who has everything needed to do great things; crippled by his lack of spiritual integrity.

WALK IN LOVE ❤️🚶

The way that we live out our convictions is just as important as the convictions themselves. Our love for God should always inform how we treat those around us, or, as Paul says, "let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother" (Romans 14:13)

⬆︎HIGHER CALLING 🏙

When a rich young ruler comes to seeking to be a disciple, Jesus responds with some chilling words...

"One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." (Mark 10:18)

IN + OUT OF FAVOR

FAITH

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith is the central aspect of our lives as Christians. It leads to spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God, but also to storms and difficulties. How can we be people of great faith?

THE FOOTSTEPS 👣 OF MARY

This Mother's Day, we looked at an incredible image of the importance of motherhood — Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was favored, blessed, open, willing, submissive to God's will, steadfast, and committed. In the end, she was also taken care of by John the Apostle. Whether you are a mother, or just have a mother, the principles we learn from the life of Mary can be applied to your life!

NEW THING COMING 🌿

HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY

This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan taught that new things come if (1) we believe (2) we repent (3) we give. As we reflect on the beautiful sacrifice that Christ gave for us to change, let us also put that change into action through a firm trust in Jesus.

🏠 HOUSE of PRAYER🧎‍♀️ [Pt. 2]

How important is prayer?

Well, considering

• The sheer time Jesus took to dedicated prayer
• The emphasis on prayer in his teachings
• His vehement upheaval of the temple practices and shouting Isaiah's words...

"My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations" (Isaiah 56:7)

🤲 The Order of WORSHIP 🙌

What comes first? The song of praise, or the life of worship?

"Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."

— Romans 12:1

The life of worship leads to the song of praise, not the other way around. Today, let's choose to honor God with our lives, and express that in all ways, including songs of praise.

🛠 REPAIRED + PREPARED [wk. 4]

This Sunday Pastor Jonathan encouraged us to be repaired and prepared by living out our lives like Elijah: putting worship in order, being brave and bold, and having powerful prayers. Using Malachi 4:5-6, we can understand how God wants His Church to be empowered in the spirit of Elijah:

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:5-6)

Disciples in the 🌎🌍🌏

As Jesus' disciples, how we interact with the rest of the world is super important. This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan went over two of the main areas our behavior should reflect Jesus'... in our Conversations and our Actions.

⛪️ Discipleship ⛪️

How should churches create disciples? In our modern churches we are often more focused on hyping Christians up instead of discipling them in the way of Jesus. This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan teaches us about the biblical Church structure of apostles, prophets, and teachers and how these offices lead to healthy Church-growth. Let's dive in together!
