Redeeming Rest: Week One

06/16/24 • 43 min

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound connection between rest and spiritual overflow. The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42 serves as a cornerstone, illustrating the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet and truly listening. We're encouraged to move beyond mere intellectual understanding to experiential knowledge of God's love. This rest isn't about inactivity, but about rejuvenation, renewal, and transformation of our minds. It's in this place of rest that we can hear God's heart for us, understand our true identity as His children, and receive His love. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we like Martha, distracted by many things, or are we choosing the 'better part' like Mary?EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

Guilt & Shame: Week Two

In this powerful message, we're reminded of Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, particularly focusing on being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The key lesson here is that our effectiveness and worth aren't determined by our actions or comparisons to others, but by our identity in Christ. We're encouraged to find contentment and joy in the mundane, everyday moments of life, not just in the spiritual highs. The speaker emphasizes that God doesn't 're-energize' our old experiences but provides fresh encounters in the present moment. This perspective challenges us to live fully in the now, trusting in God's continuous work in our lives rather than trying to recreate past spiritual experiences.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.

Redeeming Rest: Week Two

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the profound importance of rest in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Hebrews 3 and 4, we explore the concept of God's rest - not just physical relaxation, but a deep, spiritual peace that comes from trusting in Christ's finished work. We're cautioned against the dangers of unbelief and rebellion, which can harden our hearts and lead us away from God. The story of the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land serves as a poignant reminder of how easily we can miss out on God's blessings when we fail to trust Him. The message challenges us to enter into God's rest by fully believing in His promises and ceasing from our own futile efforts to earn His favor.EPISODE CREDITS: Produced, edited and mixed by Shera Dye.
