From “In the Beginning” to Amen // True Religion Have You Ever Wondered, What Pleases God? Isaiah 58:3-12(ESV)“Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?” Religious Activity Can Hide a Heart Far from God's Heart. God's Heart (Light) Is Revealed in How We Treat People. Fasting Isn't Merely Emptying Yourself of Food.It's Learning to Empty Yourself for Others. God Turns Surrounded People into Workers of Restoration. Jeremiah 22:3-5 (NLT)“This is what the Lord says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors. Quit your evil deeds! Do not mistreat foreigners, orphans, and widows. Stop murdering the innocent! If you obey me, there will always be a descendant of David sitting on the throne here in Jerusalem. The king will ride through the palace gates in chariots and on horses, with his parade of attendants and subjects. But if you refuse to pay attention to this warning, I swear by my own name, says the Lord, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.” James 1:27 (NLT)“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.” Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Romans 8:29 (ESV)“For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29-30 (MSG)“God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.” Mark 2:27 (NLT)“Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.” Matthew 5:17-22 (NIV)“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore, anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” God Cares More About Your Availability, And He Does About Your Capability.
Are you the vessel God is looking for right now? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens 2 Timothy 2:20 and 2 Kings 4:1-7 (KJV) to show us that God is not looking for perfect vessels — He is looking for empty, available ones.You might be asking: Why would God want to use someone like me? What does it mean to be a vessel unto honor? Does God only use extraordinary people? How do I make myself available to God?Through the story of the widow and the miraculous oil, Pastor Roderick Webster shows us that God's power flows when we stop relying on ourselves and simply obey.Key points from this devotion:- God needs empty vessels — to be used, we must empty ourselves of self- Vessels are for different purposes — God needs all kinds of people in His church- God uses both ordinary and extraordinary vessels for His glory- The church is God's vessel to pour grace into a lost and bankrupt world- Availability is what makes a vessel useful to the MasterIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, comment, share, and subscribe so more people can be strengthened by God's Word every day.Stay connected with GNBC:

Humility is all about others, not self. This was the attitude of Jesus, who emptied Himself in order to accomplish the salvation He provided on the cross, for all of mankind. We are told to "Have this attitude" in ourselves. This is what causes true impact on the lives of others. This is truly "living" the Gospel. I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this teaching. Please share and help spread the Word!
We come to Jesus with our own system of beliefs about how life works and how we get to God. In this two message series, we’ll listen to Jesus challenge those systems in the lives of two very different people. In this first message, we’ll focus on Jesus’ appeal to “Empty Yourself” in John 3.
