Foundations for Intercession: Friendship – Agreement (Burning Hearts Gathering 2/20/13)

Posted by Tim

Part 4 in a series on Foundations for Intercession.

As we continue to unfold what a practical life of friendship with God looks like, we move past inquiring and the searching out of God’s heart, to the issue of agreement and our call to walk in truth. God desires for us, as friends, to know His heart, and God desires for us, as friends, to honor His heart and stand for His heart and fight for His heart.

With the privilege of knowing God’s heart, comes the responsibility of stewarding God’s emotions. The Lord of the universe has chosen to make Himself vulnerable for the sake of love, so that He could have a bride who knows what He loves and values and chooses to love and value the same.

Holiness is not about following a set of rules but about honoring a heart. It’s about the glory of how God loves us that makes even the little things an opportunity to honor and bless Him and to move His heart.

Abiding and a Life of Prayer (Burning Hearts Gathering 9/26/12)

Posted by Tim

We’re continuing to look at the Upper Room Discourse and Jesus’ teaching on: Simple Faith

Continuing from last session, we’re talking about a life of abiding in Christ and how as a practical daily reality we walk in the truth of who He is and who we are in Him. Paul describes our life in this age as one of warfare against real spiritual enemies of Christ in the heavenly places whose weapons of warfare are continual lies and accusations against God and men. We, too, have been given weapons of warfare – mighty for tearing down strongholds and those things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God.

Daily life as a believer requires taking up the armor of God which is the truth of the gospel and wielding it in a life of ceaseless prayer, taking captive every thought and making it obedient to Christ. This message is a look at what that lifestyle looks like in practice.

Abiding, the Word of God, and a Life of Prayer (Burning Hearts Gathering 9/19/12)

Posted by Tim

We’re continuing to look at the Upper Room Discourse and Jesus’ teaching on: Simple Faith

This session takes a practical look at a lifestyle of abiding in Christ. Remembering that it’s already done at the Cross – Christ is in us and we are in Him – we want a lifestyle that brings our heart and mind into agreement with and connection with that reality because often they are not.

This is a look at the process Jesus describes of the word of God growing and bearing fruit in our hearts, and how we can answer His charge to guard and take care of what we hear until it’s worked its work of transformation in us. Specifically, a model for meditating on the Word in a way that both gets it deep in our hearts and gets it flowing out of our hearts in our prayer life.

Simple Faith – The Upper Room Discourse (Burning Hearts Gathering 8/15/12)

Posted by Tim

We’re starting a new series on: Simple Faith

In the Upper Room Discourse in John 13-17 Jesus teaches on what life looks like under the New Covenant. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, its loving nature and its accessibility. The Father, in love, has prepared for us a light yoke that is not out of our reach but belongs to little children.

We need to hear again and again Jesus’ message on the simplicity of believing and abiding, because our chief battleground in pursuing God is remaining in the simplicity of faith in and love for the Person of Christ, and not getting distracted and confused by adding to the simplicity of devotion that is in Christ.
