Is your life built upon the sure teachings of Jesus or the shaky sands of this world’s mammon?

How we view ourselves, in spiritual matters, in righteousness and religion, has a direct impact on the way w e think about and manage our relationships with others. In the way of Jesus' Kingdom, we are taught to view outselves in a true state of humility and thus to esteem others better than ourselves. We are taught in the Way not to pursue things out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. In esteeming others abovee ourselves, we ought not fail to esteem and value infants, chidlren. What a joy to serve them! Jesus reminds us that we are to be a continually praying people as we have a delighted, continual fellowship with the Sovereign God of the Universe. Jesus still has compassion on regular people. In a world that esteem the rich and powerful, let us be those who serve and bless no matter the social standing of the recipient of that service.

What in the world is a "shemitah?" Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Or something else? Gloriously, it is something else. God told his people to practice it every 7 years.

Come with the Grace United crew as we discover and apply not only "shemitah" but perpetual shemitah!

Love and unity are twin paramount traits in the life of a Christian, especially toward one's fellow Christian. A practical way to do this is with giving. Some call it tithing, but in reality it is giving. In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul lays out very practical, and challenging, principles of giving. What are they? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover what the Lord has given every follower of Jesus, namely opportunitied to demonstrate his love and his unity to the world, for the glory of God.

We are worried about many things. The Way of Jesus' Kingdom is the way of trusting the One who made and sustains us. Leaning on Him that we might be help to others and show them the Way of His Kingdom. Let us be, by grace, those who worry not about food, drink, and clothing, as the world is consumed by those cares, and instead be those who are focused on His Kingdom Way first. The LORD is worthy to be praised. Rest in Him, dear saints, He has redeemed, He will not leave you. We have this joy of living His Kingdom, in His power, not because of ourselves, but by faith, by trusting Jesus alone to rescue us and bring us near. He has died for our sins, He was buried, He is now raised, ready to save all those who come to Him, believing. Recorded at Refuge TLH on Sunday, July 28, 2019.

What comes to mind when you think of God's blessings? Spiritual ones? How about material ones? How about an overabundance of material blessings? This is what the Lord promised to give to Israel.

A bigger question seems to be, Why does the Lord emphasize material blessings anyway? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore God's Magnificent Blessings.
