As we wrap up our last couple of posts from our series on God’s image and likeness, I’m going to give some practical ideas here on how to connect with God. I’m hesitant to do this because what’s most important is what is unseen. There are not magical practices that if you simply follow these [...]

The Body of Christ came out!
We hadn’t done any mission work, nor spent any of our vacation in the city where the hospital was, so we knew no one. However, word spread and one by one (or two, or three) they came to offer their help and prayers.
We also had the advantage of a prayer [...]

I woke up early to pray on the roof of Beit Immanuel. It’s beautiful up there to look across the city from the top of this four-story building. I knew we would be praying for direction on which way to go that day and I just felt hungry to have more alone time with Him [...]

On this morning we gathered to worship with the discipleship group of Beit Immanuel. But instead of them praying for a country or people as they had every other day, they prayed for the arts. It’s an area that large sections of the Church have historically turned their backs on, which has left many whom [...]

Matthew 6:19-7:6
We’ve been looking into the Sermon on the Mount which started with Matthew 5 to 7 and we’re continuing from Matthew 6:11-15 where Jesus taught us how to pray. As we take on this prayerful lifestyle, we begin to enter new Heavenly realities and Jesus explains here what Life is like in the Kingdom [...]

The Lord’s Prayer: Matthew 6:10
Yesterday we started studying the Lord’s Prayer. While instructing us how to pray, Jesus teaches that we need to be in awe of our Holy God the Father. This is important when we go into an extended period of prayer, but the key to living the Kingdom life is that [...]

Matthew 6:1-18
On Friday, Jesus was teaching us how we will interact in the world when we have been transformed by the Holy Spirit. Today, we’ll begin to discuss how He tells us to accomplish this with an overview of the religious life of His day (which is not so different from what is common [...]
