“How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers. Everything is made to center upon the initial act of "accepting" Christ, and we are not expected thereafter to crave any further revelation of God to our souls. We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.” -A.W. Tozer
In our series Heart we want to dig deeply into worship. Week 1 takes us to Psalm 115 and 27 where we look at hearts consumed with beholding God and allowing what they beheld to fill their minds and guide their worship. A.W. Tozer summed it up best with this word, “I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion...I want all that God has or I don't want any.”
How much of us does God want? What does it look like for me to live with God with all my being? This year in RSM we want to answer these and other questions as we seek to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This year, we’re seeking to live as whole people.
Our audio wasn’t working for the first two teachings from HouseCamp, but we were able to get the third! In our final teaching from the week, we wrap up Psalm 27 after hearing night 1 about our need to seek out God as light, and night 2 on how we see God properly. In this final teaching we look to the hope of Jesus available to us all here and now and David’s confidence in claiming that hope for…
How do we respond to God’s answer in prayer? Through the posture of yielding we learn to listen and respond in a way that honors God and leads to our flourishing.
Asking is uncomfortable, isn’t it? We fear asking for a variety of reasons. We believe it reveals weakness in us in a society that prizes strength. We believe it shows us to be needy in a culture of self-sufficiency. What we find in the Scriptures is a very different vision of going to God with our need in prayer. Charles Spurgeon informs us that asking is the currency of the Kingdom of God. That…
Walter Wangerin once said, “Praise and thanksgiving require more than our brains. They want our laughter, our capering bodies, our trembling delight, smiles and the sweet flush of delight-and song. Praise must be sung.” This is the truth we come to in prayer; that God asks for all of us in an expression of joy. Prayer isn’t robotic. It isn’t simply us asking, or confessing, or adoring God. It’s a…
What do we do with our sin? David was familiar with not meeting the expectations of God and so he writes to us about it in the Psalms. Tonight we look to Psalm 32, 139 and 52 to see how sin works, what God thinks of us in our sin and what we experience in our moment of confession to hopefully move us from a place of fearing confession to freedom in confession.
In our final series of the year we look at prayer as a regular rhythm patterned for us in the Psalms. Tonight we look at the practice of pausing and adoration in prayer from Psalm 8 and many other passages throughout the Scriptures.
In the final week of our series we look at our relationship to the most essential element in supporting life there is; food. How are our meals, not only spiritual in nature, but also meant to form our communities and our joy in a God-ward direction?
We spend a large majority of our lives completely incapacitated by this thing called sleep. Not just this, but we spend a great portion of our waking hours longing for the rest that sleep brings. With so much of our lives wrapped up in rest the obvious question is what is God trying to teach us through the necessity of rest? Join us for week 3 of our series w(HOL)l(Y) Ordinary as we examine the…
Join us for week 2 of our series examining the holiness of every day moments as we discuss the spirituality of work.
