Mark 2:1-12 - Audio

Jeremy Morris Matthew 5:1-12 In the Beatitudes, Jesus gives a counter-cultural message- to mourn over our sins, to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be poor in spirit. He wants to fill us with more of His Spirit, we just need to recognize our need and ask Him.

David Eldridge Matthew 4:12-4:25 We live in the tension that the Kingdom of God is here, but not fully here yet. In that tension, we want to have faith for God to move in powerful ways now. We also want to trust in His goodness regardless of our current circumstances.

David Eldridge Matthew 3:13-4:11 Jesus was tempted in every way that we are, but He did not sin. Where we have been unfaithful, Jesus has been faithful and made the way for us. When we are tempted we need to submit to God (align ourselves with Him) and resist the devil.

Russell Marshall Matthew 3:1-12 True repentance is entering into a life of continual repentance and turning back to and returning to Jesus daily. We don't just leave our sin, but we gain the Kingdom of God.

David Eldridge Matthew 1:18-2:23 We see in the life of Joseph that our obedience to God matters. Joseph's obedience was costly, quick, and consequential. To follow Jesus implies obedience to Him. He determines where we go and how we get there and he sets an example for how to live.

David Eldridge Matthew 1:1-17 As we look at the lineage of Jesus we see that God always finds a way, that He is love, He brings beauty from ashes, and He honors those who trust Him.

David Eldridge John 14:16-17 Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as our Helper. We need to ask daily for His help and surrender (give up control) to His leading in every area of our lives.

David Eldridge 1 Samuel 16:4-13 Luke 4:14-21 God desires to anoint us (set us apart and empower us) to do the works He has prepared for us to do (Eph 2.10). And we need His anointing to be fruitful in those works. We want to discern and be led by Him to do those good works and recognize the anointing He has made available to us.

David Eldridge 21 Days of Dedication: The Holy Spirit as Fire God's desire is that we become more and more like Jesus. The Holy Spirit helps purify us as and strengthen our faith as we cooperate with His work in our life. Some of the tools He uses to refine us are the Bible and the circumstances of our life.

David Eldridge Each Sunday during the 21 Days of Dedication we will be focusing on the role of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. This Sunday we are focusing on the Holy Spirit as Living Water that both refreshes us and flows out of us. Our responsibility is to keep drinking.
