Grace Favor Trumps Religious Labor - Don Keathley EP.19

Contemplation Series Part 9 of 10 ... Over ten episodes of the newly re-launched Jesus Trip, John Crowder will explore a most vital spiritual practice of the ancient church, which the modern evangelical world knows little to nothing about. This series explores theological and practical applications of contemplative practice.

Forget About Progress: Contemplation Part 9

The conversation between Jason Clark and Luke Agee explores the themes of community, rediscovering the goodness of God, and the transition happening in the body of Christ. They discuss the idea of Jason being known as the 'tacos guy' and how tacos represent the communal aspect of rediscovering who God is. They also delve into the story of Naaman and how it relates to the current season of the church. They emphasize the shift from a transactional mindset to a participation in a relationship with a God who is better than we thought.

In this conversation, the guys discuss the concept of separation from God and the miss-identity it creates. They explore the idea that God never abandoned Jesus on the cross and that there is no division or separation within the Trinity. They also challenge the belief in eternal conscious torment and propose that hell is the rejection of love and a distorted perspective of God. The conversation concludes with a reflection on Psalm 23 and the invitation to trust in the goodness and love of God.

From Sin Focus to Union in Christ Focus | Scott Cook Ep 31

Jesus says to His followers, “As the Father sent me, so send I you.” And so, how did He conquer? Read John 1:35-51. 1)He went for a walk; maybe you could go for a walk in your neighbor’s world. 2) He asked questions; maybe you could ask your neighbor, “What is it that you want?” 3) He invited folks to “come and see.” 4) He valued incompetence. 5) He made people competent. 6) He wasn’t easily offended. 7) He celebrated honesty. 8) He recognized the Kingdom at hand: God’s dream planted in His neighbor’s heart. 9) He is the Kingdom at hand: God’s dream planted in the heart of Adam.He said to Nathaniel, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending (NOT on a piece of real estate) on the Son of Man.”&nbsp;I think He’s saying, “I am Israel, and I am the firstborn from whom you stole the birthright. I am the presence of the Father from whom you stole the blessing. I am your birthright and blessing. I am the edge of the Promised Land: Eden. I am taking you home to the Tree of Life in the middle of the Garden. I am the Son of God, and the Son of Man. God is my Father. Man is my mother. You, Adam, will give birth to me and all things with me. I am the decision to humble oneself and join the dance.”There is an old Jerusalem built with stones, and it’s been condemned. And there is a New Jerusalem descending from God even now. It is your birthright, and it’s filled with the blessing which includes every Jew and every Arab; it includes Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Cain and Abel. “For whatever you do to the least of these my brothers,” says the firstborn, “you do to me.”10) He invited folks to come and see His heart. And sometimes a body has to be broken for a heart to be revealed.
