In this episode we look at the sacrifice that Cain brought before the Lord and why the Lord refused it. We then contrast Abel’s sacrifice to see what He did right. We look at what we can learn from Cain’s mistakes. Today we’re living sacrifices before the Lord and we look at how we can apply these lessons as we offer up our entire life so that it can be well-pleasing and honoring to the Lord!

In this episode, we look at how we've each been given a spiritual garment that we wear throughout this life and how through sin and embracing carnality we've soiled and spotted this garment. The religious elite have told us that we have to try to patch this garment up through our own effort and we have to try to make it appear outwardly better by our own doing but that's not what God tells us. We look throughout scripture to see that Jesus offers us a brand new garment, one washed clean by His blood, one that will cover all our sins and make it like they never even happened. Only Jesus can give us this new garment and when we come to Him and lay our filthy rags before Him, He'll give us a new robe that's white as snow!

In this episode we look at why we’re commanded to flee from lust and what fleeing looks like for us on the practical level. Contrary to the world will tell you fleeing isn’t cowardly, it’s wise. We’re not just running aimlessly, we’re running towards something, we’re running towards God. We look at the protection and safety we find in Him and why He’s the only means of escape that can save us from the enemy and from ourselves!

In this episode we build on what we spoke about last week, us being the temple of God, seeing that we’re also called to be priests of the temple. We look at what fulfilling that role looks like in practice. We have to guard the temple, tend to it, offer up worship and sacrifices. There are many roles that we’re called to operate in and we have a responsibility to understand them and walk in them!

In this episode we look at how we’re the temple of God. We look at how the way God designed us reveals that we’re modeled after His holy temple. We look at how body, soul and spirit each reflect the different parts of the temple and the significance that each of them have for us today. We also look at what being the temple of God means for us today and how we can live and walk in that calling every day!

In this episode, we look at the desperation Rachel experienced because of her deep desire to have a child and her inability to conceive. Already having a rivalry with her sister, she watched with sorrow as her sister Leah gave her husband child after child while Rachel gave him none. We look at what this desperation teaches us, how we see similar sorrow with Hannah but different reactions and how we should follow Hannah’s lead and heed the warning of what we see Rachel do wrong.

In this episode we look at the bitter waters of Marah that the Israelites came across after they’d come out of Egypt and were in the wilderness. We look at the significance of the waters being bitter and how it was a life of death situation that they found themselves in. We also look at how Moses cast the tree into the water, foreshadowing, the cross the waters were healed. When we put the cross into the midst of our bitterness, our bitterness can be healed too and made sweet!

In this episode, we look at what happened when Elijah's servant lost his borrowed ax head in the river. After telling Elisha what happened, he cast in a tree, and the axe had came to the surface and swam. The tree is foreshadowing the Cross, the tree upon which Christ was hanged. When you cast in the tree into your life, God can make what you feel is lost in your life, come back to the surface. It's as we leave our desires and hopes at the Cross, entrusting them with Him, we can trust Him to restore what's been lost and heal what's been broken!
