In 1 Samuel 25:23-44, Abigail's boldness and wisdom prevent David from bloodshed, showing how God uses peacemakers to redirect hearts. In Acts 14:19-28, Paul is stoned and left for dead—yet he rises, keeps preaching, and strengthens the churches with a message of endurance. And in Mark 4:35-41, Jesus stills the raging storm with just a word, revealing His authority over creation and His presence in our fears.

Chapter 19 examines the true purpose of freedom—not as an end in itself, but as a deliberate choice to live under the higher law of love. Using vivid illustrations from a slave market, Adam's choice in Eden, and even a dog named Jack, we see that freedom is never meant to be hoarded. If kept for ourselves, it quickly becomes another form of slavery—this time to self. God's desire is not merely for our service, but for sons who share His spirit, love, and purpose. Real liberty comes when we exchange self-directed independence for the invisible bond of His Spirit. It is in this “glorious liberty of the sons of God” that we walk close to Him, led not by law or fear, but by love that has penetrated our very being. Freedom is not just being free from something—it's being free for Him. Here we go! Thanks for Listening!

In this message, Pastor David Bendett unpacks the biblical truth behind *toil*—the exhausting labor and striving that came as a result of the curse in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:17-19). Through Scripture, we discover that Jesus Christ has redeemed us from this curse (Galatians 3:13), granting us freedom from fear, stress, worry, and endless striving. Instead, God calls us into a life of peace, rest, and joy as we walk with Him and allow His Spirit to lead us. From the blessings of Psalm 128 to the invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, this sermon reminds us that we no longer labor alone—we are co-laborers with Christ (1 Corinthians 3:9). It's time to stop spinning in weariness and start living in Kingdom rest.

In 2 Corinthians 3:6-11, Paul says, “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” The “letter” refers to God's law—His perfect standard—which shows us His glory but also our inability to keep it. It's like trying to look at the sun with broken sunglasses: you can't do it. The law can't save us; it only exposes our need. But through Jesus, we receive the Spirit, who gives us His righteousness—His “good enough”—so we can see and enjoy God's glory now and forever. The temptation is to live as if we can be good enough on our own or hold others to our personal standard. Both lead to death. The invitation is to turn from self-reliance and trust Jesus daily, allowing His Spirit to restore our relationships with God, ourselves, and others.

Join Greg and Nathan as they journey through the story of Jesus and the birth of the early Church in A Walk Through the New Testament. Centered on the Gospels and the book of Acts, this series explores how Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each uniquely portray the person and mission of Jesus—culminating in His death and resurrection—and how those events set the stage for a movement that changed the world. Through thoughtful conversations and honest questions, Greg and Nathan unpack key themes like the Kingdom of God, discipleship, grace, and judgment, while showing how Acts continues the story—where the risen Christ sends His Spirit and launches the Church into mission. From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, it's a story of courage, power, and radical transformation. Whether you're new to the New Testament or ready for a deeper dive, this podcast will challenge you to see Jesus more clearly, embrace the mission of the Church, and live empowered by the same Spirit that ignited the first believers.

The Word of God has transformative power that can completely change your life when received not as human words but as divine revelation. Unlike changes driven by external circumstances that only modify specific areas, God's Word can transform every aspect of your being. It comes in two forms: the Revealed Word (God speaking audibly, through His Spirit internally, or through others) and the Recorded Word (Scripture). When we truly welcome God's Word—expecting it, opening ourselves to it, and accommodating it in our hearts—it works effectively within us, producing salvation, surrender, sanctification, strength, restoration, and abundant joy. The simple formula for life transformation is to receive God's Word and do what it says.

Would the people around you say that they see Jesus in your words, actions, and attitudes? If you're following Him, you won't live a perfect life, but your life should demonstrate a trend of growth in the fruits of His Spirit. As Pastor Mark continues our study in the book of Acts today, he'll challenge us to be bold in our love for the people around us.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this message from Luke 12:1–12, Pastor Benjer leads us through one of Jesus' most sobering teachings about what it means to follow Him in a world that does not want us to. Drawing from the lives of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Betty Stam, and Richard Wurmbrand—men and women who paid a great cost for their allegiance to Christ—this sermon reminds us that discipleship is neither neutral nor comfortable. Jesus warns His disciples to beware of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, a caution against living for the approval of others while neglecting the heart. He then gives a clear warning: do not fear those who can harm the body, but fear the One who holds our eternal destiny. Yet even in this, there is comfort—God knows us intimately, values us deeply, and never forgets us. Our worth is not determined by human opinion but by the price God paid for us in Christ. Finally, Jesus issues a call: to publicly acknowledge Him in both word and deed, to live with integrity before a watching world, and to trust the Holy Spirit to give us the words when our faith is challenged. Pastor Benjer emphasizes that following Jesus will inevitably cause friction with the values of the world, but Christians are not called to seek out conflict for its own sake. Instead, we are to live faithfully, sacrificially, and graciously, showing Christ's love in tangible ways. He challenges us to examine whether we have been living to please others rather than God, to reject the temptation to remain neutral, and to resist making enemies of those who simply need to hear the good news. The message closes with a vision for the church: that if our building and programs disappeared, the community would notice because of the way we have loved, served, and represented Jesus. This is a call to live as people whose only hope in life and death is Christ, steadfast in faith whether the world applauds or opposes. It is a reminder that discipleship will cost us something, but that it is worth everything because of who Jesus is and what He has done. Whether you are a longtime believer, a new Christian, or still exploring the faith, this sermon invites you to wrestle honestly with what it means to follow Jesus faithfully today, trusting that His Spirit will equip and sustain you in every circumstance. Will you follow Him with boldness and faithfulness, even when the world pushes back?

In God Never Said Things Will Be Easy, Rev. Vicki Harrison unpacks Jesus' words in John 16:33, reminding us that the Christian life is not a path of comfort, but a journey of faith, endurance, and trust. Bad theology can lead to poor decisions and wrong assumptions about God, causing us to believe that faith guarantees a trouble-free life. Instead, Jesus calls us to follow in His footsteps—even when it means facing pain, challenges, and sacrifice. Drawing on the Apostle Paul's trials, Rev. Vicki reassures us that God will give us all the grace we need for every situation, abundant life in Him, and the promise that we will never fight alone. This message calls us to be rooted in God's Word, renewed daily by His Spirit, and committed to reaching the world for Jesus Christ—even when the journey is hard.

Following the leading of the Holy Spirit can be a real challenge in this life. As Pastor Mark points out today, as a young believer, or in a situation where you really don't have any other choice, following the Spirit may come naturally. But in day-to-day practice, it's easy to rely on yourself and ignore God's guidance. To follow Jesus and allow His Spirit to move through you requires faith and intentionality. You'll need to slow down on a routine basis, allowing time to listen for God's still, quiet voice. You'll also need to dig into Scripture and lean on your fellow believers for discernment and encouragement.

Thursday August07JoyfulHearts Sharing His GospelLuke 24:48-5348And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of MyFather upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued withpower from on high." 50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, andHe lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while Heblessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 Andthey worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 andwere continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.Aswe look at the last verses of Luke 24, we remember that after the crucifixionof Christ, the disciples faced disappointment, discouragement, and all thatcomes with it. The women went to the tomb with perplexed hearts,expecting a sealed tomb. Today, many in our Christian community love the Lordand live for Him, like these women, but get perplexed trying to figure it allout. What is happening? Where is His body? He shows them the open tomb and evengives His first appearance to Mary Magdalene.  Then,we have the two disciples on the road to Emmaus with discouraged hearts,thinking Jesus was going to set up His kingdom. Many believers today arediscouraged because things aren't turning out as expected. Jesus opens theireyes to see Him. In the upper room, the disciples have troubled hearts,afraid and wondering what is going on. Jesus opens their understanding to theScriptures, explaining all things concerning His death, burial, andresurrection, beginning with Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Andwhat happens next? We find out in verse 52.  They have joyful hearts and Jesus nowopens their lips to share the Good News of His resurrection. My friend, whenyou know there's an empty tomb, keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, and realize Heis there with you, and He opens your understanding to all the Scriptures, youwill experience a joyful heart and be willing to open your lips too! Luke24:50-52 should be compared with Mark 16:19-20 and Acts 1:9-12. Think of whatit meant to Him to return to heaven and sit on the throne of glory! (John 17:5,11) His ascension is proof that He has conquered every enemy and that He reignssupremely "far above all" (Eph. 1:18-23). Inheaven today, our Lord ministers as our High Priest (Heb. 7:25) and ourAdvocate (1 John 2:1). As High Priest, He gives us the grace we need to facetesting and temptation (Heb. 4:14-16); and if we fail, as Advocate He forgivesand restores us when we confess our sins (1 John 1:6-10). As the glorified Headof the church, Jesus Christ is equipping His people to live for Him and serveHim in this present world (Eph. 4:7-16; Heb. 13:20-21). Through the Word of Godand prayer, He is ministering to us by His Spirit and making us more likeHimself. Ilove this book. It started with Zacharias in the temple and the angelsappearing to shepherds, proclaiming, a message “of great joy whichshall be to all people." Now the book ends with these disciples fullof great joy. Jesus opens their lips, and they go everywhere worshiping,praising, and telling the nations that Jesus Christ is alive. He is risen, andyou can trust Him today to be your Lord and Savior. It will change everything,and your perplexed, troubled, discouraged hearts will become joyful heartsliving for eternity.  That'swhat the Great Commission is all about. Over the next couple of days we will betalking about how you can also participate in fulfilling the Great Commission. Godbless!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where every day is a fresh journey through the pages of Scripture. It's August 5th and we're on Day 218 of our adventure together. I'm your host, Hunter—your brother, Bible reading coach, and fellow traveler as we gather from places near and far to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, we dive into 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 35, and John 7. We'll witness King Josiah's groundbreaking reforms to restore true worship in Israel, the powerful celebration of Passover that hadn't been seen since the time of the judges, and the challenges Josiah faced against powerful nations. Then, we'll turn to the gospel of John and find Jesus at the Festival of Shelters, teaching boldly about living water—the Spirit that he promises to pour out on all who believe. Along the way, Hunter draws out the deeper meaning behind the festival's water-pouring ceremony, connecting it to Jesus' declaration that he is the true source of life and hope. We'll wrap up with heartfelt prayers for God's guidance, mercy, and joy as we step into a new day. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we encounter God's living Word together—and remember, you are loved. No doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the Source of Living Water. Picture the scene at the festival of shelters—each day, the priest carries water from the pool of Siloam, pours it out upon the altar, and it runs down the temple steps. For seven days, this ritual is repeated, and on the final day, the expectation and hope of the people reach their pinnacle. This act was more than tradition; it was a symbol, a living picture of the Messiah pouring out the Spirit upon God's people, a promise rooted in the Scriptures—“I will pour out water to quench your thirst and irrigate your parched fields… I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your children” (Isaiah 44:3). And in this very moment, Jesus stands and shouts to the crowds: “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me. Anyone who believes in me may come and drink.” It's as if Jesus steps into the very heart of the ceremony and says, All of this points to me. I am the One you've been waiting for. I am the Source of the Living Water the world so desperately needs. The promise, the hope, and the life the ritual anticipated is found in Him—and received by coming to Him, trusting Him, believing. That's the invitation Christ makes to you and to me: to come to the Source, to drink freely, to allow His Spirit—like streams of living water—to flow within us and out of us into a thirsty, longing world. No longer do we look for life in ceremonies or traditions—good as they may be—because the true fulfillment is Christ Himself, the One in whom all God's promises find their “yes.” We don't come to Jesus for fame, for recognition, or for any fleeting thing. His brothers sought notoriety, but Jesus came, not to be applauded, but to do what the Father asked—to seek, to save, and to invite us into the overflowing life He shares with the Father and the Spirit. His heart is to give, to pour out, so that we too would be channels of living water, blessing, hope, and renewal to the world. So, today, let's come to Him who is the Source. Let's drink deeply of the life He freely gives. Let's allow the living water to flow through us—transforming us, refreshing us, and reaching out to others. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us. We are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever.

Welcome to Day 2689 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2689 – A Joyful Life Because God Is Life Putnam Church Message – 08/03/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Joyful Life - God is Life.”   Last week, we began a new systematic verse-by-verse study of the letters 1, 2, & 3 John, followed by Jude with insights and introduction to 1, 2, & 3 John., This week, we will begin going through these letters, and today, we will cover 1 John 1:1-4 as we explore “A Joyful Life - God is Life.” Let's read 1 John 1:1-4 from the NIV, which is found on page 1898 of your Pew Bibles. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared;/ we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father/ and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our[a] joy complete. Opening Prayer The Old Elder's Sacred Hymnal Imagine, if you will, a community nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, where generations had always found their deepest solace and strongest unity in the act of worship. At the very heart of their gatherings was a sacred treasure: the Sacred Hymnal. It was an ancient, hand-bound volume, filled not just with words and notes, but with the very deep and rich hymns of the faith that had been the core of their Christian community for centuries. This Hymnal held the essence of their spiritual identity,> their history with the Lord, their enduring promises, and their profound, unshakeable joy. Its melodies and truths had been intimately given and taught by the Divine Composer Himself, who had shared His very heart in song through His Beloved Son. Now, only a few, very old members of this community, the Original Witness Bearers, had actually walked and sung with the Beloved Son. They had seen Him teach the very first hymns, had heard His voice ring out with divine authority, and had even felt the tangible presence of His Spirit as their hands held the first copies of the Hymnal's truths. Their lives were utterly intertwined with these living songs. But as years turned into decades, and the younger generations grew up, many had begun to rely on distant echoes of the hymns. Some knew the words on the page, but the melody had faded in their hearts. Others listened to flimsy, modern tunes, catchy but shallow, that lacked the profound depth and spiritual weight of the originals. A subtle, lethargic boredom, a kind of spiritual apathy, crept into the community. The initial thrill of shared worship

This Sunday Kelley Schubert, one of our Elders here at Resonate, delivers a message on how God has “divine blueprints” for each of our lives. Meaning He has unique plans and wisdom that He is eager to share with each of us, like He did for Moses, David, and Solomon, if we will only ask! Our part is to approach Him with humility, ask for wisdom, and wait for His Spirit to move. When we do, we become agents of change—altering atmospheres, building healthy communities, and pointing people to Jesus.

Christ's Entry into Jerusalem and the Divided ReceptionJesus approaches Jerusalem, the city meant to embody peace and God's presence. Although pilgrims herald him as the Messiah, Christ knows his fate: rejection. This tension between celebration and impending suffering highlights the irony of the moment: the city that should welcome its King is blind to his true mission. Christ has predicted his rejection, death, and resurrection, and as he rides in, we are reminded that his mission is not triumphant conquest but humble submission to God's redemptive plan as the king who lays down his life.Israel's Failed History and Christ's MissionWe can think that this is a problem with current Israel. However, this is a consistent problem with God's covenant people. Joshua was one of the best leaders Israel had, but even he failed to inquire of the Lord and was deceived by the Gibeonites. David was their greatest king, but he went through a season like the pagan kings. These examples illustrate how even the most celebrated leaders could not secure true peace or obedience. When Paul tells us that Israel, is likened to a pedagogue (strict tutor), we learn how much we need a redeemer. Christ enters not as another failed leader, but one who comes to redeem by taking away the root problem: sin. He can only do this as the true sacrifice. Jesus Cleanses the Temple and Confronts False SecurityChrist's clearing of the temple is a deliberate, prophetic act. He quotes Isaiah and Jeremiah, calling out how the temple has become a “den of robbers”—a place of false security rather than true worship. This wasn't just a rebuke of corrupt commerce; it was a declaration that the people used religion as a safe zone while their hearts remained far from God. Jesus reveals that the temple was intended to be a house of prayer for all nations, but had become a hiding place for those rejecting true repentance and holiness.The True Nature of Seeking ChristThe message concludes with a confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders. While the crowds hang on his words, the scribes and priests seek his destruction. This contrast reminds us that not all "seeking" is sincere. Some seek to listen and follow; others, to control or eliminate. Christ invites us to receive him humbly, not by mere tradition or external acts, but through deep submission to his His Spirit through His Word. His mission is to sow peace, not wield force. So we must ask: do we receive him as King, or resist him from a place of false security? Do we stand over him dictating how he must serve or do we sit beneath him eager to serve?

Understand the Bible?  Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D.

Through the Bible God put the gift of His Spirit in human conduits to instruct, to guide, and equip them for service. We see this with the people in Nehemiah's day, with the 70 elders of Israel, Bezaleel, and many others throughout the Old and New Testament. God's still placing the same Spirit in us today. It's not something weird or mystical, but a gift which helps us to grow in the knowledge of Him.

Happy to report, she finished her book and it released in April, just in time for the National Day of Prayer in which an entire chapter, Chapter 7, was picked to bless our nation and a free download of that excerpt is still available on her website: https://kerry hasenbalg.com/book A leader in Soul Care and a spiritual director, Kerry Hasenbalg, is a wife and mother of four and founder of The Becoming Foundation and resides in Pennsylvannia. You will be blessed and challenged as you hear our conversation about how to become who God has designed us to become no matter what challenges we face. Thank you, Kerry, for your honest reflections and teachings. We will all be hanging clotheslines very soon!   Some gems from our conversation: God is interested in our inner world and we need to bring our stress and anxieties to him and his care. We land in the valley and progress out of towards God as we apply certain faith practices in our lives, and then land in the valley again and God keeps moving us forward. The Lord brings people into our lives for us to help dispel any of their darkness with the truth and beauty of His Spirit. When we endure trials and pain, it's important that we name the broken things in our lives as we hand them over to the Healer. To ask God for specifics gives us a deeper awareness of his great love for us. I wanted to make sure to teach our kids first what God was teaching me before teaching anyone outside our home. Every day is an exercise in trusting God enough to let Him work out His plan as we walk by faith.  My legacy is to help our kids know that they can access the power of Jesus right now in their lives through whatever challenges they endure.  I wrote my book based on Scripture and included my story so that the reader could begin seeing God in their own story.

What if God's plan to reach your neighborhood, your workplace, your city… is you? In Luke 10, Jesus sends out ordinary people with an extraordinary mission—to go ahead of Him and prepare the way. No titles. No platforms. Just faith, authority, and obedience. This is a wake-up call: you and I aren't on the sidelines of God's story—we are the strategy. There is no Plan B. Heaven is still sending, and the harvest is still ready. The work is gritty, the world is hostile, and still, we go—not relying on our strength, but on His Spirit.

The Gospel of John Week 5 Scripture: John 3:1-14, Ezekiel 36:25-27, Numbers 21:5-9, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 2 Kings 18:4, Mark 1:14. Today's class explores the story of Nicodemus. Nicodemus is a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin Council.  Pharisees were a group Jesus often had harsh criticism for.  They are all about religion and following rules, and about what they do instead of what God has done and having a relationship with Him. Nicodemus acknowledges Jesus is a teacher come from God because of the miracles there have been and Jesus responds, “No one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again from above.” Born again is something God does individually in each person. Nicodemus replies with how does one do that? And Jesus goes on to say we must be born of water and the Spirit. Ezekiel 36:25-27 “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.”  Jesus is saying what the prophets have said all along - it is now coming true - A New Covenant - the time of the New Covenant has come and Jesus is saying He's bringing it! God Himself washes us clean and pours out His Spirit on us and gives us a new heart. He changes us from religion to a relationship with God that endures forever.  Nicodemus was a Pharisee - he was into religion - but not relationship with God. Jesus is calling Nicodemus to take his eyes off himself and put his eyes on God and take his eyes off his own accomplishments and put his eye on the Messiah who is going to deliver, redeem, restore and renew. Jesus is breaking Nicodemus' paradigm. It's not what we do, it's what God does! Jesus goes on to say, “so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” Jesus is saying He will be lifted up and all who look to Him will be saves.  He's saying we need a Savior and that Savior is Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus goes on to speak these marvelous words, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”  The Light shows us for what we are - hypocrites- looking good on the outside but inside we are dead. But now the Son has come and He's come not to condemn us but to save us! To redeem us!   When we live by the Truth - we come into the Light.  Jesus is calling Nicodemus to set aside what he has always believed and instead yield himself totally to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is breaking into Nicodemus' life and He wants to break into our lives too! To give us a new heart and to pour out His Spirit into us.

Many people have come to faith after reading only this book of the Bible.  Scholarly and archeological discoveries in recent decades give us new insight on details in the Gospel of John. We can now understand it as the most Jewish rather than the most “Gentile/Greek” of the Gospels, and when we do that we see many things that we missed before. Our 2 year study of the gospels is great for large group, small group or home group study and can be started at any time!

How can a Christian live a life worthy of God's calling? What is God's call? Mike addresses those questions, and he tells a story of how the Lord manifests His Spirit through Words of Knowledge.  "You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy." -- 1 Peter chapter 2 "I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." -- Ephesians chapter 4
