Seeing God correctly is essential to centering your life around him and his presence. Many of us have a tainted view of earthly fathers, but today God wants to renew your view of him as your perfect heavenly Father. As we grow in understanding of God’s perfect love and relation to us, may centering your life around his presence come naturally. Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 8:6, and today's worship is Your Love Is Strong by Jon Foreman. ________ Last year felt like a wilderness and a desert in many ways. Yet in the midst of the fear, unrest, and anxiety, God moved. In fact, during 2020, over half a million men and women joined the First15 community!

God is such a good, loving Father that he wants us to live with a foundational understanding of his affection toward us. He wants the knowledge of his unconditional love for us to be so deeply rooted within us, that all striving ceases and we live in total freedom as his children. Today we're going to further explore that concept as we begin to finish up our week on knowing the heart of God. Our Scripture for day comes from Ephesians 3:17-19, and today's worship is Your Love Is Strong by Cory Asbury. First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.

This week we're continuing or discussion of our favorite Christian songs with Connor's first pick of the series. Jon Foreman is the lead singer of the band Switchfoot and also does his own solo work. Jon wrote a song called "Your Love Is Strong" on an EP called "Spring". We discuss what the song means to us, how scripture speaks through it and some of our insights of the lyrics.

Songs: There Is A Fountain, It Is Finished, Calvary's King, Your Love Is Strong

You know you "own" the story when you can tell it and re-tell it in your own words and not lose the meaning. This is what Jon Foreman's song "Your Love Is Strong" inspired me to do with Scripture this week. Not only that, but it sent me straight to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and a very special model for prayer. Let's not waste any time jumping right into Matthew 5-7! On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Context Read in a variety of translations Write out Scripture in your own words The lyrics in the song, "So why do I worry? Why do I freak out?" as it relates to Matthew 6:25-34 An example using Psalm 8:1 where I rewrote it using my own words and my friend Teri rewrote it in her own words Comparing a portion of Matthew 6 in the English Standard Version and in The Message - Matthew 6:5-13 Using my own words as I wrote out the Lord's Prayer - Matthew 6:9-13   Additional Resources Lyrics and guitar chords This Week's Challenge Read the entire Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) in four different versions. Perhaps read the sermon once a day for four days -- I recommend the English Standard Version, New Living Translation, New American Standard Bible, and The Message. Then pick a section of the sermon and write it out using your own words -- feel free to get personal and specific. You will find at the end of this challenge, you will really "own" this section of Scripture.
