Hope is a choice rooted in God’s unchanging Word. As you choose hope, you will see life through the eyes of faith, recognizing the possibilities God has prepared for you. Neuroscientific research on hope and positive expectation involves exploring how the brain processes these concepts and the impact they have on mental health, physical well-being, and faith. Join us today as we do a deep dive into how to cultivate hope in the heart.
When you become a believer in Christ, something incredible happens—you receive a new heart. This isn’t just a metaphorical change; it’s a profound transformation that affects every aspect of your life. Just as a physical heart transplant can cause a person to take on the desires, interests, and even personality traits of the donor, our spiritual heart transplant does something even more miraculous: it encodes God’s desires into our very being.
In a world that often seems increasingly chaotic and dark, the reasons Jesus was sent provide a beacon of hope and encouragement for believers. As we reflect on the myriad purposes of His mission, we find reassurance and strength to continue our faith journey, trusting that His work will be fully accomplished, just as foretold in the parable of the wheat and the tares.
In a world that often measures worth by productivity and approval, it's easy to feel like we have to work tirelessly to earn acceptance. However, as believers in Christ, we are invited to approach our kingdom work from a place of rest, knowing that we are already approved by God through Christ's finished work. We can co-labor with Him, ceasing from our own works, resting in Christ’s completed work, and live free from the fear of scrutiny, thriving in our God-given passions and callings.
God declares Himself as your provider, a good Father who desires to bless and care for you. His ability to provide is independent of the economy, the stock market, or any other human systems we typically rely on. God's provision is spiritual in nature. Join us today as we explore the spiritual nature of His provision.
Thank you for joining us for Pentecost Sunday! Today we celebrate one of the greatest promises fulfilled, the giving of the Holy Spirit God’s spirit dwelling in the believer is the source of regeneration, salvation, and continual life in Christ. God’s Spirit living in you will bear fruit through you and empower you to minister God’s will to others. His Spirit will guide and correct you, He will give you strength and healing, and He will always remind you what Christ has accomplished for you.
Jesus healed people and he gave us his power to heal people. This should be the end of the story but we still live in bodies where sin is having an effect. Thankfully, we also have God’s spirit in us, giving life to our bodies. We’re not in a dualistic battle between the power of God and the power of sin, we have a belief issue that determines which one will bear fruit in our lives. Join us today as we continue our discussion on healing.
Jesus suffered all the effects of your sin on the cross.
I mean, can we just pause and be thankful about that for a moment.
Because he suffered the penalty for your sin, this is true for you.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:2
Now, before I get too far into this, let me make the clear statement that if you continue in sin, you will experience all sorts of death because you will reap what you sow, and if you continue to sow sin to the flesh, you will experience death.
BUT!!!
It’s NOT from God!!!
