Mark 10 : 32 - 45

James and John ask a question that reveals they still don’t understand much about Jesus or how His kingdom works.

Galatians 1 : 11 - 2 : 10

Approval can be a dangerous thing. Who or what we seek approval from reveals where we are looking for our worth. In Galatians, Paul addresses the seduction of approval from humanity by sharing from his own life the ways he learned to seek approval from God alone. The Gospel tells us that we are approved by God on the basis of what He did on the cross with His son Jesus, thereby freeing us from our need for approval from others. We are approved by the fact that we’ve been adopted as sons and daughters into the family of God and are free to follow him.

Galatians 1 : 1 - 10

You have been freed purely by the gospel and only the gospel.

John 14 : 1 - 14

Jesus gave us the main thing: Make disciples. We are called today and every day after to freely focus and faithfully invest our lives in this great work!

Matthew 11 : 28 - 30

Speaker: Neal & Judy Brower

God calls us to imitators of Him in all that we do. Being love as opposed to doing loving things is the central tenet of that imitation. The Goal of our instruction is love! Let all that you do be done in love.

Matthew 16 : 21 - 27

As Jesus invites his disciples to follow him he not only clarifies the expectations, but also His cost in bringing them to God, as well as their cost in fully following Him. #itsworthit

Matthew 16 : 13 - 16, 17 - 20

Jesus invites each of us into a joy-filled journey with Him back to Garden living in the Kingdom of God. Kingdom movement happens when we begin inviting others into that same journey.

Matthew 16 : 13 - 16 Everyone has a question or two for Jesus. This Easter, what is Jesus’ question for us? The answer to the question for His disciples has the potential to increase our joy today and also change our eternity--this is what Easter is all about.

1 Corinthians 2 : 1 - 5

The Kingdom of God is worth fighting for, but the ways of war are rooted in humility, love, and ultimately sacrifice. It’s through the power of Jesus Christ and His Crucifixion and Resurrection that we, in Him, are victorious over the enemy, our sin, and this world!

Ezekiel 37 : 1 - 14

Ezekiel’s vision shares the heart of God’s mission; which is to make people who were dead, alive in Christ. Our call as a Church it to fulfill the mission of God, breathing life into their dry bones and bring them back to Garden Living. This is what Kingdom movement is all about and what we dedicate our lives and this dirt to today!

John 3 : 1 - 21

What does it mean to be born again and why would it matter? Jesus spells this out for a curious pharisee named Nicodemus in the middle of the night. Faith in Jesus alone is the means by which we are born again, our lives are made new, to the end that we can now stand before God unashamed. This is the reason Jesus came to this world and the good news we bring to others as we seek to live as proof.

Acts 27 : 39 – 28 : 16 As believers we are called to TESTify—to literally be the living proof of a loving God. Our witness and lives serve as evidence and often is the most powerful in the trying times of our lives. God wastes nothing, and the clinging to Christ in the pain produces Kingdom Movement.

Acts 27 : 1 - 38
Our Aim: To see Jesus—high and lifted up because I am convinced when we do—we find hope; which is not available in his creation but from Him as creator. Circumstances are tough, but God is good #allthetime and is with us in them so that others might see Him in us.

Discipleship is a call for all who follow Jesus. Matthew 28 : 18 - 20 clearly lays this out as the mission of the people of God. When it comes to discipling the next generation, it is wise to approach discipleship in a developmentally appropriate way. Matthew 22 : 34 - 40 shows us what the content of that discipleship is meant to be, teaching people to love God and love their neighbor. Our role is to make disciples, by being the living proof of our loving God and asking the question, "What is the most loving thing to do?" as a way of guiding our actions and affections.

Psalm 4

God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. It is imperative that we remember this truth, which can be seen by reflecting back on His word and promises. Your story is no different than our

Acts 25 - 26

God wastes nothing and is using all things for His Glory and Our good. Luke shows us this in the life and (pre) death of Paul; who although is not perfect, God’s will is.

Acts 24 : 1 - 27

How wide and deep is our confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Acts 21 - 23

Paul's desire in life and death is to be a fragrant aroma of Christ. This is seen in his journey of suffering to, and throughout his time in Jerusalem; for the Glory of God.

Acts 19 : 1 - 41

The power of Jesus is on display in Ephesus from handkerchiefs to healings. The entire region of Asia hears the Gospel - this is our dream and prayer for EDH and every city around.

Acts 18 : 1 - 23

As Christians, we’ve been called as a team, to combat the evil of this world and literally bring heaven to earth. God gives and uses each of our strengths and our weaknesses to form this beautiful collective of desperate & dependent ‘guardians of the galaxy’ for His Glory and the world’s good.

Acts 17 : 16 - 34

January is the beginning of our “Next play”. If we can share in Paul’s mentality by praying, watching & stepping into 2019 prepared and ready to proclaim, then Kingdom movement will advance and darkness will be destroyed!

Acts 17 : 1 - 15

When Paul and Silas proclaim the Gospel of Jesus (His life, death and resurrection) in Thessalonica, the religiously-sure Jews become ticked-off and bring persecution, while many Gentiles (outsiders) are persuaded by the teaching. The relentless persecution pushes them to Berea where curious Jews receive the Gospel with eagerness.

Colossians 4 : 2 - 6

As Paul wraps up his letter, he leaves the disciples with specific tools to help them express their faith so that the world would experience the JOY of walking with Jesus.

As the object of our HOPE, Jesus puts us in the context of #communitas to not only protect hope, but to also provide more of it in our every day living. We do this as a team, taking off the things that distract us from Him and putting on the things that are of Him.
