We tend to assume God works through the right people, in the right places, with the right credentials. Isaiah 44–45 is genuinely jarring to our assumptions: the Lord names a pagan, idol-worshiping foreign king as the one who will restore His people to their land.
As we look at the gifts that draw the most attention, such as prophecy and tongues, how should we understand them and their place in the church?
On Easter, we celebrate God’s great reversal, yet many of us still carry wildernesses where things feel anything but right. Mary Magdalene was in such a wilderness in John 20 as she wept outside of the tomb. In the wilderness, we often cannot see when Jesus is right in front of us.
Join Pastor Tim at 7 pm (Central) as we wrap up “Growing” by looking at the hope we have as we look towards God’s promises being fulfilled in the future.
