There is nothing we can ever do that will cause God to say, “I’ve had it with you.” He will never let us go. But if our salvation is already covered, then why are we still here? Why doesn’t God just take us Home to heaven right now? Join Steve as he looks at 1 Corinthians 9:12-23 to see that we’re not here for us. We’re here for them.
Feelings. What on earth are my feelings for? How are feelings practical? What do they accomplish? If I feel one way, does that make me righteous? If I feel another way, does that make me sinful?
Are you working at getting better? Any progress? If you’re struggling, I’m here to help.
I see the daily kind of grace pretty easily when I get what I want and know I don’t deserve it. I miss it pretty easily when I don’t get what I want and think I do deserve it.
God makes a big deal out of love. In fact, our relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ are marked by love. Love is so central to the biblical message you would think that, even if we got everything else wrong, we would at least get love right. If God talks so much about love… Why do we love so little? Why don’t you love? Why don’t I love?
After 41 years as a slave, Josiah Henson escaped with his family and settled in Canada. He went on to rescue 118 more slaves, raise millions for the abolitionist movement, inspire the novel that ignited the Civil War, and even win a medal at the first World’s Fair in London. What’s even more amazing than this man’s life is the fact that few of us know his name. Join Jared Brock on SBE as he introduces you to Josiah Henson and talks about his new book, ‘The Road to Dawn: Josiah Henson and the Story That Sparked the Civil War.’
There is a direct correlation between how you view God and how you will father and mother your children. That’s why it’s so important to get the doctrine right about our Father in heaven. God is not a monster or a child abuser. Watch this message with Steve teaching from Jesus’ story about the prodigal sons, and you’ll be on your way to being a parent who loves the way you have been loved.
Our Spirit-filled walk doesn’t make us sons, the Holy Spirit does. And “sonship” is the root of freedom.
