The security lie: I am what I have.

The counter truth: I am what's been given for me. Security is found in God's Kingdom not in building my own.

Be blessed.

The counter truth: It all depends on Him, I get the joy of playing my part.

People who are fully alive and free in the Kingdom of God have three characteristics: they're God-taught, God-moved, God-inspired. Today, we're focusing on being inspired by God which means living out God-sized visions in full dependence on Him.

Question:

What God-sized vision is on your heart today?

And then a sneaky second question, what are you going to do about it?

Prayer:

Lord I thank you that you give us God-sized vision. And so I pray for each person listening, that they would receive that from you if they haven’t already. Lord would you continue to teach us and move us and inspire us. Help us to know your goodness, to rest in your faithfulness, and to have the kind of faith that expects you to speak. Lord we’re here again and we’re listening. Inspire us and empower us. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

People who are fully alive and free in the Kingdom of God have three characteristics: they're God-taught, God-moved, God-inspired. Today, we're focusing on being moved by God which means we want our actions to be motivated by our love of God more than anything else.

Question:

Over the last 24 hours, where have you been motivated by something other than God?

Prayer:

Lord, I thank you that you love us, that you never leave us nor forsake us, that your heart is towards us and that you are so faithful. God we want to be moved by you and you alone. We want to live fully alive and fully free, so Lord as we contemplate this question now would you highlight to us areas where we’re living in less than the freedom that you purchased for us. Where there’s fear would you replace it with your peace, where there’s confusion would you replace it with your clarity and where there’s doubt would you comfort us with your truth. We love you Jesus and we ask that you empower us to live fully free and fully alive in you. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

People who are fully alive and free in the Kingdom of God have three characteristics: they're God-taught, God-moved, God-inspired. Today, we're focusing on being taught by God which means hearing from God, and balancing our systems with keeping space open for Him to interrupt us.

Question:

Think back over the last month or so, have you been living a full and free life or have you been caught up in the day to day without really thinking about God?

Prayer:

Lord, we want everything that you have to offer. And we know how easy it is to just get caught up in the day to day and to focus on things that might be good but aren’t actually what you have for us. So Lord lift us out of our apathy and sleepiness, speak to us even now, that we would know our real identity in you, that we would know what kind of full life you have for us, and that we would be able to step into that freedom, following you with all we have because that’s the only appropriate response to your goodness and faithfulness. We love you Jesus, would you speak to us. In your precious name Jesus amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan and asking what it means for us today.

Who can you be a neighbour to today?

Jesus thank you that you gave everything for us to enter into eternal life with you. Lord would you give us eyes that see the people around us and hearts that are moved by compassion to act, freely sharing your love with those we come into contact with, knowing that there’s more than enough to go around. Would you give us opportunities to be a neighbour to someone today. In your precious name Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the persistent widow and asking what it means for us today.

Where are you at risk of losing heart today?

Father God you alone know what is right and good and so we humbly bring our requests to you once again and ask that you would strengthen us to keep doing so and to not lose heart, to wait for your justice that will surely come, and in the meantime to rest in the truth of your goodness. Shape us Lord that we might continue to look more like you and desire the things you desire. We love you Lord. In the precious name of Jesus, amen.

In today's episode, we're looking at the parable of the vineyard workers and asking what it means for us today.

Will you stop striving and comparing and accept God’s way of justice and grace?

Or, in Jesus’ words, are you envious because He is generous?

Jesus thank you for paying the price for our sins so that we can freely accept your grace that we don’t deserve. Help us to rest in the truth of your generosity and goodness, to slow down, replace our striving with trust, to replace comparison with celebration and to seek your justice that’s defined by love. May we be more like you. In your precious name Jesus amen.
