How do the Psalms teach us to pray and what the Halleck is the big deal about Hallel.

God provides for his people. Often we struggle to notice his provision. We walk right past it, and the result is a weak faith that doesn’t trust God for our daily bread.

Scripture can handle the heat. It’s big enough for our questions and doubts. The Bible has endured through history and persecution. God’s word continues to outlast its doubters. When we consider the ways it has endured many attempts to eliminate it, and its continual impact, we cannot help but trust the word of God.

We can trust Gods word! When we consider the carefulness and accuracy by which it was transcribed and consider the wholistic nature of its narrative, we should affirm it as the reliable source of God’s truth in our lives.

What’s mine—my time, my everything—is yours. This reflects a spirit of generosity. What’s mine is His, acknowledging God as our only provider.

The idol God is exposing in our lives is the idol of exclusion, prejudice, and partiality. If we favor one group of people over another based on race, class, age, or ANYTHING, we have raised ourselves up as an idol, now placing ourselves in a place where only Jesus can sit.

For us, our idols are not often statues but more often strongholds. We worship sports, pleasure, entertainment, success, education, family, and many other things. Idols aren’t always carved images but are the things that have carved their spot in our lives in the place where God should be.

Simply, to be the leaders we are called to be we must walk in the spirit as we become the people God has called us to be in EVERY area of our lives. 

YOU are a leader and as we own and step into the calling of leadership in our lives we must live a life founded on a deep walk with God and outwardly lived for God. 

If we want a real faith, one that follows us every day, we need a faith that is a place for everyone and points everyone to their purpose in Jesus. 

Little, big things in our lives often cost. Daniel gave up what was the best food the world had to offer, Steve Jobs sacrificed convenience. Whether a diet or an iPhone or our lives, when we live with conviction and consistency it pays off. 

Just as Steven was a witness for Jesus, so are you and I. The difference is he has finished what God has for him on this earth and we have not. God want’s to use us to be a witness and take his good news to our schools, city and world but we need to understand before Steven preaches Jesus, he follows Jesus. Before he shares the message of Jesus he shares the method of Jesus. 

We can live fear free, when we live boldly and for eternity.

The promise of God is that in times of fear, he is and he will

In a fear-filled world, God has given us peace through his Spirit.
