Because of Christ’s high priestly work which has given us bold and confident access to God, we should gather together as a community of believers regularly, committing our lives to the corporate worship and praise of God. As we gather together and worship, we provoke one another to love and good works, preparing ourselves for the day of Christ’s return.
As Christians, we must find our true rest in Christ who is our true Sabbath.
Our attitude in giving is more important than the amount we give, but giving is important and it should be done wisely out of a heart that is full of God’s grace.
We can live a life of extravagant giving because we have experienced and are found in the extravagant Giver, Jesus Christ.
As God’s people exercise their Spiritual gifts in community, God’s people are encouraged and Jesus is praised to the glory of the Father.
Jesus is not only to be believed, lived, and shared with our words, but our lives as well as we make disciples and are being discipled by others.
True fasting is between you and God. It isn’t something you show off. It is feasting upon Christ instead of the world.
Fasting does no good if our hearts and actions are not aligned with God’s heart. We must live out God’s heart of seeking justice and loving mercy.
As Christians, we should expect suffering and rejoice in real suffering for Christ’s sake, knowing that our souls are safe in Jesus’ hands.
There are people that you know, that you work with, that you interact with, your neighbors and friends that are groping around in the darkness, searching and seeking for something that they don’t even know. God has placed you in this time and this place so that you can tell them the Gospel.
