Passage: Exodus 3:1-10Guest Speaker: Nick Honerkamp
What if the most freeing truth isn't that everything depends on you—but that it doesn't? "All of It" invites us to rediscover life with God at the center and learn how following Jesus transforms the way we live, steward, and trust Him with everything.
There are some memorable characters in Jesus' stories. The unjust judge and the needy widow just happen to be two that we should remember when we are struggling to pray.
The disciples were stirred by what they saw when they saw Jesus pray. The disciples knew Jesus had something that they didn't. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to spend time with the Father just like He did. What does Jesus want us to know about this gift of prayer?

The promise to Abram (Abraham) is a promise that is still impacting the world today. "Blessed to bless" was not only a promise about the Messiah, it's a call to live as a people who trust that God is our provider.
From the moment we turned our backs on God, the world took on a very different look from the Garden. Leaving the presence of God, the place we were made to live, opened the door for the unthinkable. The decision to be our own gods didn't free us. The decision to live our lives without God left us in chains.
We have heard that God made things good, but what we see in us and around us doesn't seem so good. We see hurt, abuses, sorrow, and death. How does the Scripture address pain and is there any hope?
Where does human value come from? What if it's not found in what we accomplish? What if it's found in understanding what our Creator has said about us?
There is great hope in considering how God made all things "good." God created all things, including humanity, with purpose and function.
As we begin a new year and a new journey through the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, lets start with spending some time considering some reasons WHY we should study the Scripture.

ParablesSheep, and Coins, and Sons Oh My!Luke 15
ParablesThe Religious Man & the IRS ManLuke 18:9-14
ParablesThe Two BuildersMatthew 7:24-29This parable comes at the very end of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, 6, 7). Jesus ends the sermon not with a pep talk or a funny story, but with a series of warnings. This parable is the final warning. Jesus says that the wise person is the one who not just listens to his words, but also does and that this is like a builder who builds their house on a solid foundation. Jesus says that the person who hears his words and doesn't do them is like a foolish builder who builds their house on the sand. The storms come to both house; one remains standing and the other falls with a great crash.Jesus is taking a familiar idea from the Hebrew Scriptures, the wise vs the fool, and re-centering it around himself. Wisdom is the path to life while the Fool brings destruction upon themselves. Jesus says that the the way to wisdom, the way to life is by putting his words into practice and that those who don't put his words into practice are bringing about their own destruction.This warning isn't so much - "Do what I say or you're going to get it!" It's more like a parent warning a child not to run into the street because it's dangerous and they will get hurt. Evil and sin have invaded God's good world and you will have storms. The only way to stand through them when they come is if your foundation is solid, built around doing his words.We'll also look at how the Holy Spirit helps us put Jesus' words into practice, so it's not about our willpower and determination. We'll look at the transformation process where the Holy Spirit transforms us into a new type of person who is able to live out the words of Jesus.
