In This Episode: As you consider the Kingdom of God from another vantage point, what do you see as God’s motivation for intentionally inviting us to be a part of His family? The Westminster Catechism says that we are created to bring glory to God … and … to enjoy Him forever.
In his benediction to the Corinthian church, Paul writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). When we talk about enjoying God forever, there is a connection to the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Join us as we explore this creative work of the Holy Spirit to form and fill the emptiness of our lives. Our hope that comes from this is unfathomable. But that internal hope is directly connected to the level of our confidence that we believe God loves us. When God see us through the lens of His love, He sees past the chaos and sees potential.

In This Episode: God’s guidance is not just recognizing the voice of God. It is obeying it, too. Be encouraged to move from hearing God to obeying God. We are spiritual beings created for a relationship with our Creator. Embrace what would be different in your relationship with God if you leaned into this today. See “Hearing God” by Dallas Willard.
