We cruise along thinking everything seems worth rejoicing in—until something smacks us over the head and forces the question of what really matters. Paul faces that same reckoning in Philippians 3, listing every credential and mark of status he once counted as gain.
When you prepare a small dinner and twenty guests arrive unannounced, you wish you'd known what was coming—yet knowing what to prepare isn't the only kind of readiness that matters. Luke 1 tells of a righteous priest who knew exactly what God expected of him, yet when God himself appeared with news he'd prayed decades to hear, he found himself unprepared to simply listen.
Are we trying to light up our lives with our own glory or God’s? Pastor Tim takes us back to John 5, looking at verses 41-44 in tonight’s Steadfast.
How do we think we become acceptable before God? Jason helps us to think about the reality of God’s grace.
Jim helps us to think about what we learn from Jonah’s attempt to flee God’s calling for his life.
Pastor Tim takes us to Haggai this week as we think about our priorities, our struggles to focus on the Lord and the wonder of His fulfilled promises.
