Forerunner Ministry DNA (Burning Hearts Gathering 8/1/12)

Posted by Tim

Tim teaches on the DNA of ministry with a forerunner spirit: what are the essential characteristics of doing ministry in a way that makes sense in light of the return of Jesus? How do we make ready a people prepared for the Lord? Scripture tells us a lot about what’s on God’s heart for this generation, and it’s very different than what we’ll find ourselves doing by default. We need a revelation of eternity and the kingdom of God if we’re to partner with God in something of eternal significance.

Part 8 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

We’re finishing up this series on our identity in God with a look at the lifestyle of the kingdom and how God invites us to choose a pattern of life that pulls us out of ourselves and into the place of writing a history with God. The cry of the Father’s heart to His children is “Trust Me!”

Defining Bridal Intimacy: Cherishing (Burning Hearts Gathering 5/23/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 7 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue to look at what “intimacy with God” really means through the revelation of the Bride of Christ, this third part looks at the heart of love and how Jesus cherishes and nourishes His bride as though she were His own body – one with Him, and how He calls us to do the same.

As we begin to see that Jesus sees and cares for our feelings, our struggles, our cares and our desires, it frees us to live focused on His feelings, His burdens, His dreams and His desires. God longs to have that kind of deep, intimate friendship with us. He wants to share with us the deep things of His heart, knowing we will cherish them and steward them in love.

Defining Bridal Intimacy: Knowing (Burning Hearts Gathering 5/16/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 6 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue to look at our identity as the Bride of Christ, and what it tells us about what love looks like and what “intimacy with God” really means, this message looks at the central element of true intimacy: knowing God and being known by God.

Our hearts have a deep desire not just to be appreciated or treated well or felt warmly about, but to be truly known and understood for who we are and how our heart works. We feel that way because God feels that way – He’s looking for that kind of love and He wants to give us that kind of love. And that changes our approach to the Scriptures, to prayer, and to life.

Defining Bridal Intimacy: Desire (Burning Hearts Gathering 5/9/12)

Part 5 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

We’re continuing to look at the revelation of the Bride of Christ, specifically beginning to look at what it tells us about what love looks like of the sort that God gives and desires, and our heart requires. Defining what “intimacy with God” actually looks like lets us actually begin to live a life of experiencing it, not just hearing about it or longing for it. We’re going to look at three elements of what bridal intimacy looks like in the next few weeks. This week, it’s to desire, to be followed by to know and to cherish.

Vision for Intimacy As the Bride of Christ (Burning Hearts Gathering 5/2/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 4 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue to look at the pictures God gives of how He relates to us, we move this week to the Bride of Christ. God relates all of redemption’s story to us as a King preparing a wedding for His Son. And in then that picture, we find God’s motivation in all He is doing, and we find the meaning of our days here on earth and what destination we should be aiming for at the end of them. As the Father prepares for His Son a Bride made ready in love.

Confidence In Immaturity As a Child of God (Burning Hearts Gathering 4/25/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 3 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

As we continue diving into what Scripture has to say about our identity in relationship with God, we’re beginning to look at the pictures God gives of how He relates to us, and what they reveal about His heart, about how our hearts are made, and about how we’re invited to relate to Him.

In this message, we’re looking at God’s invitation to live before His eyes and for His delight as our Father who accepts unconditionally in our immaturity, and enjoys us fully as He takes us by the hand and walks with us in the journey of growing up into the image of Christ.

Part 2 in the series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

This second teaching is a practical look at how in daily life to begin to lay hold of our identity in Christ. It’s not something that will happen automatically. It’s about a deliberate choice to make everything about loving God and being loved by Him… and there are lots of creative ways to do that.

Belonging to God (Burning Hearts Gathering 4/11/12)

Posted by Tim

Part 1 in a new series:  Gospel Identity: Belonging to God

We’re taking a shift as we start this new series, from looking at who God is in Himself, to looking at who we are in Him. That the story of creation is all about God, means the story of our life is all about our relationship to God. It is our life, and it will be our stability, strength and glory if we let our identity come from Him and who He declares we are in Him.

Our relationship with God is unlike any other we’ve ever known, because God is unlike any other we’ve ever known. Only God gets to define that relationship, and we get to search out how God has described it and glory in the width, length, height and depth of His love toward us.
