Scripture: John 14:15 - 16:15, Titus 3:5
Many views of God exist among us today. Some see God as distant and uninvolved in our daily lives. We may think God is a harsh, inspecting taskmaster. Others feel God is disappointed in our human frailty. But the real God is intimately and compassionately involved in our lives. He notices us, goes out of his way to meet our needs and is willing to join us at our point of...

Scripture: Luke 11:11-13, Psalm 139:1-3, John 14:1-11, Luke 15:1-2, John 7:53 - 8:11
Topic: Attributes of God
Life is not about us. It's all about God. As we mature in Christ, we develop a relationship with God that is secure and intimate in His love. We view life from God's perspective so that we can share His character and partner in His work and ministry. God knows our needs and shares our dreams. He yearns for us to know Him deeply as well.

Topic: Devotional Life
We can experience God’s joy in two ways. At the macro level, we stand in awe of the vastness of God. God enjoys creation, and His creation in us. At the micro level, we count our blessings as individuals. Willard “The Divine Conspiracy” ch3, What Jesus Knew: Our God-Bathed World

Topic: Devotional Life
Jesus said you can overcome, even though you are overwhelmed, out-matched, incapable, and hated by the world. You can be confident because of Christ in you and in this world. This may be a broken, fallen, messy world, but God is doing something beautiful.

Scripture: John 14:18-20, John 15:18, Acts 16:23-30, Acts 16:34
Topic: Faith
We all want to hear from God. A frantic life with no margins prevents us from hearing God clearly. Margin is having space to do something. We need space with our time; we are so rushed. We need space with our talents; we are so exhausted. We need space with our treasure; we are so tempted to spend more than we have.

Topic: Knowing God's Will
What happened to all your joy? Galatians 5 encourages us to stop working for God's favor and start resting in what He has already given us-the love and grace of Christ. We don't try to live up to God's grace, we are called to live OUT God's grace by serving others.

Topic: Grace
God's Word tells us when we are sick to give thanks in all things, look for God's refining work in our lives, seek to have His heart and pray in faith for healing. God's physical miracles are shadows of His spiritual work for our eternal lives.

Topic: Prayer
Three things are going on in the Acts ministry of Christ today. Christ is coming as the spirit to dwell in His followers. Jesus is engaged in His greatest work of building His church using dispersed believers. Christ is adding members to His church as His power enables us to do His work on earth.
