In Mark chapter 12, we read about Jesus being marveled at how He saw a widow give everything she had into the treasury. Although she was extremely poor, she gave everything out of her poverty, whereas everyone else gave out of their excess. Giving and generosity are major principles within the Kingdom of God. Jesus wants His followers to give extravagantly and without any fear or doubt. There are many marks of what a true Christian looks like and how they live, and giving is a major one. This message will unpack pertinent principles about money, how to use it biblically, and the consequences of not stewarding what God has given us.

In Matthew 8, we see Christ’s response to two people who were eager to follow Him. He didn’t respond with a cheerful welcome, but rather with a warning. Does this mean that Jesus didn’t want them to follow Him? Not at all, He wanted them to understand the cost. In all the luxuries of modern life, it is easy to grow comfortable in our walk with Christ. But we aren’t called into comfort, we are called to follow Christ where He wants us to go, and in that discomfort, we find a peace beyond all understanding. This doesn’t mean we run out into every adversity we can find in order to prove our faith, but rather to fix our eyes on Him, like Peter when he walked on water, and with our entire focus on the Lord, we will walk towards Him, unhindered by the distractions and comforts of the enemy, the world, and our flesh.

This episode is part 2 of “Free as a Slave!” For this one, we will dive deeper into what it means to be a love-slave of Jesus! More specifically, we will unpack the fruit of the Spirit and face three big enemies of that fruit. These enemies are attitudes and mindsets that tend to grip our hearts when things in our lives go sideways. How much our rights are yielded to Jesus will determine how well we respond to circumstances in our lives. God's ultimate goal for us as His people is to be like His Son, Jesus, and that means learning to seek the Holy Spirit to help us overcome fleshly tendencies that can wreak havoc and chaos in our lives.

More and more, our generation cries out for more freedom and more liberties. It is within our human nature to want to be free creatures with the autonomy to chase our own dreams and pursue whatever our hearts desire. However, the bible has some ideas of what it means to be “love-slaves” of Jesus. The early church apostles and many others in church history understood something about the nature of slavery that is lost on us today. In the worldly sense, slavery to earthly masters is seen as detestable and cruel. However, slavery to Jesus is ultimate freedom! How is this, and why is it important to yield to God all of our rights and allow Him to be our master as we walk with Him?

It is as important as it has ever been that we have a solid understanding of who Jesus is and what He has accomplished. Of course we can never fully understand all there is to know about Him—we’ll need all of eternity just to scratch the surface—but we can endeavor to learn as much as possible. Tonight, we’ll jump into Hebrews 1:1-3, the great exordium of this masterpiece, to sample some deep truths about the character and work of our King.

“God will provide!” It’s a statement that you have probably heard and may know to be true. However, sometimes we feel as if it’s not the truth, that God doesn't see our need or is deliberately delaying the blessing. The bible overwhelmingly tells us that God is a provider (Jehovah Jireh), and that He is quick to bless. Because of this, it is crucial that we as His people must understand the nature of His giving. How God gives is directly tied to who He is and what He is like. What are the principles of God’s provision, and how can understanding these principles help us to not only see how God gives, but help us to receive from Him better?
