Commuter's Communion

As we end season 1, Episode 30 dives into the central theme of communion. If Satisfaction Guaranteed Part 1 encouraged us in the promise of God getting every value He purchased in us, part 2 looks at what happens with our desires in the process. Psalm 37 helps us in understanding the guarantee, even toward the satisfaction of our desires. And to bring it full circle, it comes through proper communion.  Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go! Served by: @RhythmAndRedemption

Products and services always have an extra measure of assurance when their satisfaction is guaranteed. The promise that every value that was advertised will be enjoyed is an extra boost to your confidence in that value. As Christians, we live a lifestyle marked by guaranteed satisfaction in Christ's purchase of us by His blood. Galatians 4 gives us some insight into that in Episode 29.

A welcoming and hospitable hosts makes a world of difference when visiting somewhere. The opposite is the quickest way to make sure you never return somewhere. Well, except when it comes to Christ's visit to and dwelling in us. That was characterized by hostility from us and from the world, yet even so, what did our Savior decide to do? How should that contradiction affect our treasure of and depth in His presence? Let's let 1 John guide us in that question in Episode 28.  Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go! Served by: @RhythmAndRedemption

Take one look around our world & the people in it and you'll find plenty of reasons to long for restoration. Ever thought of what that would look like though? Psalm 80 gives us a picture of restoration and encourages us in its perspective on it. We take a look in Episode 27. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Our natural & internal support systems aren't reliable. Thankfully when our heart & flesh fail, we have something outside of us that can & will sustain & lead us. Psalm 73:26 describes our life support in The Gospel – what brings us back to life & what sustains us forevermore. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Are you ever discouraged from things not going well, particularly when you know you were doing the right thing? Frustrating right? It can be hard to persist in this case. In the same way that you wouldn't abandon your greatest strength or advantage athletically if you're off for a game, Hebrews 10 encourages us to not lose confidence in your greatest strength spiritually as things are off. More on that in Episode 25, come listen. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go! Served by: @RhythmAndRedemption

Do you remember the last time you've played a sport & felt completely disrespected by your opponent declaring that they're a mismatch for you? Challenging right?... The enemy often wants to deceive us in a similar way by amplifying the voice that says that he & the challenges we face outmatch us who are in Christ. The catch is this: as Christians God has won the victory and will always outmatch our enemy & circumstances.  Let's talk about it.

There's few things more rewarding than seeing something you have responsibility over bear fruit & have impact. Part of the reason for that is the knowledge of how much you put into it. It's easy to be discouraged by what that means for our life's place & choices, but how can we be reoriented knowing that we're leasing this body? In Episode 22 we're refreshed by examining that we're God's principle possession that He's overseeing great growth in. Let's dive in!

To be a Christian is to be one who was once dead in sin, but is now alive in Christ through faith in Jesus' sacrifice. It's a position of need. The need doesn't stop at salvation though; and to see that as a good thing, requires maturity. I'll explain in Episode 21. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Knowledge is power and with that power comes added burden. In Episode 20, we look into how that it doesn't quite work that way with the Gospel. Everything that the Lord has knowledge of is also deeply cared for. Let's eat! Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Psalm 150:6 - "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." Did you know that with every breath you breathe, you're invited to participate in a devotional with God? Ever thought of it that way?

If your life was a dress rehearsal for what you have to look forward to after death, is that a discouraging or encouraging thought? Even moreso, how does the presence of or absence of Jesus in the center of that thought affect that reality? I peel back those questions in Episode 18.

From a business perspective, one of the best edges you can bring to a consumer is convenience. While the Christian life is indeed uncomfortable, in Episode 17, we'll dig into the convenience of Christ not only purchasing relationship with us, but also bringing it right to us!

Sometimes when money is tight, all you have is leftovers to get you through. While it's a blessing to have something to stretch during tough times, it doesn't feel that great to be down to your last. Often we can feel that way spiritually as well. Thankfully as we'll see in Matthew 9:15-22, the Gospel has a way of turning our lasts into much more.

It occurred to me how deceptive the enemy can be by sometimes making me think that certain times coming to the Lord aren't desirable. But even times where discouragement, repentance, or shame lead to the Lord, are times of freedom. Even detours when leading to the destination of Christ can be pleasant. Psalm 139 will guide us through this one. Come tune in, Episode 15.  Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go! Served by: @RhythmAndRedemption

Have you ever felt like you get the most resistance and obstacles exactly when you start to get focused on something? Like the intensity of pressure and temptation increases as your focus does as well? It's almost like facing an emotional & spiritual blitz. In Episode 12, I look into Psalm 31 for how to not be rattled by life's blitzes. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go! Produced by: @TaeeTheProducer

"The excess of more can't give you the satisfaction of fullness" – I probably wouldn't have understood this wisdom growing up. As I have though, I see how the prospect of "more" can be a manipulative and tempting substitute for fullness. In Ep. 11, I look to Proverbs 30's wise example of not being captive to this.

What if we saw the challenges we face on Earth as inherent aspects of not having home court advantage? As an athlete, that understanding used to help me meter my expectations. 2 Corinthians 5 helps us in that same way as Christians. In Episode 10, I unpack how we should step on the court of life when it's not in our advantage. Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Sometimes it's daunting waiting for God to give clarity & revelation on things. I feel like we've all heard the common advice in that time to just wait & have faith right? In Episode 9, I look at how God establishing reverence through the book of Revelation, Chapter 1 equips us with peace as we wait.  Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!

Standing in the gap to help others with a need is a human tendency. As Christians we do this through interceeding in prayers and in laying down our lives. But how do you not let the discouragement from the burden of interceeding outweigh the delight, joy, and encouragement that's also available? I'll try to help with Episode 8.   Commuter's Communion serves devotional appetizers for the Godly on the go!  Produced by: @TaeeTheProducer

Does it bother you that people sometimes act like trust isn't complicated? As if you can just do it at will, ignoring life and experience. The reality is that trust can be difficult and expensive. Psalm 131 illustrates a beautiful picture of how trust, even with its nuance, can be possible.
