Purpose

This is part two of a two-part series on Isaiah’s vision and calling to serve the Lord. Isaiah did not sit down to write because he had tremendous literary ability, or because he was so Godly and knowledgeable. He became a difference maker because he was amazed by the Lord and transformed by His graceful touch. Then he responded as a difference maker by expressing his willingness to serve God. 

[Difference Makers ls] A Graceful Touch

We read the Bible, pray prayers, and attend church, but often these spiritual routines don’t seem to produce spiritual maturity. Jesus made big promises to those who follow him: peace, joy, and supernatural power, but these promises often feel disconnected from our experience. Pastor Justin Kendrick helps us bridge that gap with his book, Bury Your Ordinary to teach seven spiritual habits that lead to explosive growth and development.

Bury Your Ordinary

Love is a decision and a requirement of discipleship. Before the foundation of the World, God loved. God concluded that love will last forever, a gift accessible to all. Love is unusual; greater than our talents, possessing the capacity to forgive, influence culture, be disciplined and committed. Love is not a feeling or a hashtag. Instead, love is power and love is influential. This three-day plan is all about love. 

#Love

Over the next five days, we will reflect on inspiring Bible verses, uplifting meditations, and captivating stories that will guide us on this spiritual journey. May this journey be an opportunity for spiritual growth, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of the greatness of our God.

Many of us can relate to being in the wilderness. Some have lived short seasons, while others have spent a large portion of their lives in the wilderness. Being in the wilderness does not mean you are lost. Sometimes we are not ready for the promises God has planned for us. We must come in close relationship with Him so that we may learn His will for our lives. 

UNCOMMEN: The Wilderness Years

Self-empowerment and personal development are prevalent concepts in our culture today. Being self-aware, responsible, and knowing your strengths and weaknesses is a plus in life. But, could popular self-affirmations be just far enough from the Truth that believing them could hold you back from living the very best life God has planned for you? Let’s dig into scripture in this 6-day plan by Robin Meadows to see what is revealed.


Affirmation: Self Or God? By Robin Meadows

John the Baptist was the man that God sent to prepare the way for the Messiah. The Gospel of John, written by the Apostle John, introduces us to John the Baptist’s ministry and to Jesus, God’s Son, sent to save people from their sins.
