Week 3 of the Wednesday night messages on our current Isaiah 56 focus is on what that promise means related to the role of the Church in the earth as a sacred assembly where God dwells and where God releases His government through intercession.
Isaiah 56 Focus – Week 3 – Governmental Intercession (62min, 17.6MB)
As a new year begins, here’s a simple call back to the one thing God calls us to give our lives to: pursue love. God promises that if we value what He values and pursue His priorities, He will take care of the rest, and God’s central motivation and drive in all that He does is love.
This is a practical look at what it really means to give your life to the pursuit of love, given that God is love and love is of God: how to pursue the width and length and height and depth of the love of God – not just how we conceive of love in our brokenness, but the fullness of love as God defines it, flowing from His heart abounding in love, and not stopping until we’ve given all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Part 8 in a series on the Upper Room Discourse and Jesus’ teaching on: Simple Faith
Jesus’ main command, although He doesn’t get to explaining it until late in the teaching, is to love. But not just any kind of love: to love as He has loved. In saying that, Jesus changes what the standard of love is, and where love comes from. No longer is it about basic human rights and common courtesy – it’s about living in the testimony of how God feels about human beings. It changes our approach to loving our neighbor to one that’s rooted and grounded in faith and in the testimony of Jesus, so that it’s Jesus loving them through us.

In a flying overview of the book of Romans, Tim shares on how Christian unity and community is founded on clinging to the truths of the gospel. God has such a high vision for Christian unity that’s not only peaceful, but enjoyable, and not only enjoyable, but fruitful in producing righteousness in us and around us. And it begins with a heart rightly living in awe at the wonder of God’s leadership in saving, sanctifying and glorifying sons and daughters.
