There were three core elements to the very heart of Jesus' mission: he came to announce the Kingdom, to heal the sick, and to destroy the works of the devil. He sent his followers to do the same. He said that those who believe in him would do the things that he did. The church over the centuries has experienced spurts in the expectation of divine healing. We have a mixed emotional response to healing – we are in awe at the times when God has raised someone up supernaturally and we are confused and disappointed when we do not get the immediate healing for which we prayed. We need to go back to the Scriptures to get a biblically grounded and theologically nuanced understanding of healing so that we can pray with a kingdom perspective.

Given that we worship what we love and become what we worship, we want to think about the sanctuaries that we are constructing in our lives. Our first sanctuary is our heart. Out of the heart we move to the outward spaces of our lives that occupy most of time and energy, household and work. The goal is to create intentional practices that support the creation and maintenance of a life of sanctuary. God's Word can guide us in building healthy, sacred spaces.

We live in a world that is broken. We pray each week “your kingdom come . . .” This simple line in our prayer is a reminder that there are still significant evidences and manifestation of the kingdom of darkness all around us. We are also somewhat distracted by one of our American virtues – “the right to the pursuit of happiness” – which has bled into a vice – my comfort.

Jesus: Signs of His Glory. There are seven signs of  Jesus' divinity in the gospel of John. These signs point to Jesus' glory. John ends his gospel by saying, "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book."  - John 20:30

“In Christ” was the wellspring of all spiritual blessings and pursuits for the apostle Paul. His letter to the Ephesians is a treatise on the value of establishing our identity in Christ. In Christ we have every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph. 1:3) – and in Christ “we are filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:19) to live as Christ. Therein lies the key to know Christ and to make him known.
