Ben McGillivrayThis week as part of our series on spiritual disciplines we look at simplicity. Based on Micah 6:8 we can establish that simplicity is really the art of blending internal kindness with external justice. One or the other alone leaves something out.
[Micah 6:8]
Jeff BjorganJesus rejects making a public spectacle of Christian practices. How we live out our Christian life matters. The spiritual practice of secrecy is about controlling our pride through purposefully keeping our Christian deeds and character unadvertised.
[Matthew 6:1-8]
Brent CantelonMinistry is hard, no matter where you are. It was even hard for Jesus. But the challenge of ministry does not take away from its power to change lives, and no matter where you go, the Holy Spirit can work in the lives of receptive people.
[Matthew 11:20; 2 Kings 7:3-9]
Jeff BjorganTo build a relationship with someone, we need to talk. Communication can be difficult, but we will never know someone until you learn to talk with them. We examine how to cultivate a relationship with God that is high on healthy communication.
[Matthew 6:9-11]
Ben McGillivraySilence and solitude are two extremely important spiritual disciplines. If we are not purposeful about them, they can go missing in a culture such as ours. We take a look at how God can speak profoundly within the “sound of silence.”
[1 Kings 19:1-13]
Jeff BjorganOur lives are like houses that have been foreclosed: some may look good on the outside, but the inside is in shambles. Our inside life makes what people see on the outside real and authentic. So fan into flame the faith God has placed inside of you!
[2 Timothy 1:6-7]
Peter DoveAs we seen in the story of Abraham, God still calls people, often into the unknown. Emmanuel missions partner, Peter Dove, challenges us with regard to gobal missions: will we respond to the missional calling of God in our lives?
[Hebrews 11:8-12]
