In this fourth installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we dive deep into the life-changing power of intimacy with Christ. This isn't just about knowing about God—it's about being known by Him. Tune in as we explore the transformational nature of true intimacy with Christ. Beyond surface-level faith, this conversation challenges you to examine whether you are walking in real friendship with God—or simply knowing about Him from a distance. We unpack the difference between head knowledge and heart transformation, the weight of obedience in cultivating closeness with God, and how reverence and trust form the foundation of spiritual intimacy. You'll hear reflections on the sobering realization that not everyone is a friend of God—and the grace that invites us into deeper communion with Him. Whether you've been walking with God for years or you're just beginning to seek Him for yourself, this episode invites you to go deeper—to know and be known by the only One who truly matters. Scriptural guidance: Moses face to face with God: Exodus 33:11-16 Coming close to God: James 4:8 Obedience & Trust: Hebrews 11 Prayer: I Peter 5:6-8 Fellowship: Acts 2:42 QOTD: Do you know and are you known by God?

In this dynamic exploration of Exodus 16, we're invited to reflect on God's provision and our daily dependence on Him. The story of manna in the wilderness isn't just about food. God's daily provision of bread from heaven was a test, teaching the Israelites that true life comes not just from physical sustenance, but from every word that proceeds from God's mouth. This challenges us to examine our own lives: Do we trust God's provision day by day? Are we willing to rely on His word for guidance in all aspects of our lives?

Today we find that many Christians don't have time to have a daily encounter with God. We all have excuses from saying we are too busy to just plainly living our lives in our own effort. In the Bible we have an example of someone who had an encounter with God. His name is Moses. […]

At the Last Supper our Lord, Jesus established the Eucharist and washed his disciples' feet. In the process of this, we are reminded that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. How does this connect to the establishing of the Passover so long ago? Father Jeremiah explores this and explains it in his Maundy Thursday sermon.Image: Jaume Huguet, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Comfort & Affliction, Week 3 of 3 from March 2nd, 2025 "When we know Jesus deeply He shows clearly that our life is His." 2 Corinthians 2:12-3:18 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon explores the paradoxical nature of Christian faith, where believers are portrayed as captives in Christ's triumphal procession. Pastor Michael challenges the congregation to view their relationship with God not as victorious conquerors, but as those conquered by Christ's love. He emphasizes that true Christian life involves surrender, being led by Christ, and becoming a living testimony of God's work. The sermon also addresses the tension between personal faith and public witness, urging believers to let their lives tell Jesus' story to the world.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
