This Sunday @ Healingsprings fellowship

I spoke about the Exodus from Egypt, and its significance in Judaism last week. In addition, I touched on the concept of The New Exodus, a messianic expectation we see fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. 

This was with a view to highlight that: 

  1. God is self-revealing,
  2. God works in history through human agents to bring about his kingdom, 
  3. creation is not a one-off process or event that was completed in Genesis, but rather, one that remains constant. 

As God Bearers it is important that we note that God’s purpose does not exempt us from the forces of Resistance. 
In our efforts towards continuation of creation, through advocating the Good News, and delivery of Social Justice initiatives here on earth, we will encounter all forms of Resistance.
As a proof text, the Psalmist notes, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.” – Ps. 34:19
Therefore, this Sunday I will home-in on some case studies, with a view to draw ideas, and wisdom to help us overcome resistance in whatever shape or form it manifests itself.

This Sunday @ Healingsprings fellowship

Having consolidated the Ecosystem (Scriptures, interpreters, and audiences), and its outworking, we advanced to Internal Resistance last Sunday. 

I spoke about the Exodus from Egypt, and its significance in Judaism. In addition, I briefly introduced the concept of The New Exodus, a messianic expectation we see fulfilled in the person of Christ as illuminated in the New Testament. 
This was with a view to highlight that: 

  1. God is self-revealing 

  2. He works in history through human agents to bring about his kingdom

  3. And that Creation is not a one-off process that was completed in Genesis, but rather a continuous process. 

Hence he said to Moses:

“I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” – Exodus 3:6
As God Bearers it is important that we note that God’s purpose does not exempt us from the forces of Resistance in our efforts towards continuation of Creation, through advocating the Good News, and delivering Social Justice initiatives aimed at making God’s Kingdom a reality here on earth as it is in heaven. 
Join us as we explore Internal Resistance.

The Words of Our Elders: Max Lucado

If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you still come? If you knew that those you loved would laugh in your face, would you still care? If you knew that the tongues you made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them? Christ did. ~ Max Lucado

The words of our elders, are words of wisdom.
