Here’s a short teaching about grace and how it’s modeled in the Old New Testaments. Moses, Zacchaeus & Peter were all people like you and I. They did things well and some things poorly, but through it all it was Gods love that would invite them to live a life they were designed for ❤️

    You're not going to believe this - well, you might, but I paused the video at the 13:27 mark where you talk about heaven and I pulled a little scroll of scripture out of my nana's scripture box (she used to make them) and I unrolled it to see Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away. KJV God is in the details and in this story ❤❤

    Is this about a book sale only? Jesus didn't charge his followers for his teachings. I've read books uploaded in PDF and it was a joy knowing that this person is a true follower of Jesus. Not like The Vatican Church which does everything opposite to Jesus's teachings. They live to amass wealth and this is the only objective in their existence and they lie to the poor people, brainwashing them into giving them even more money. It's so hard to follow someone's example, like people have followed Jesus. Would Jesus be wealthy now, had he existed in our time? What car would he drive and what mansion would he live in? When we start talking about this, then we know the truth that everything is a lie! God has been replaced by Money. I hope you can be a true follower of Jesus, because I can't, I don't know how. ❤

      Thank you for your comment. We agree that so much of the church has become known for its greed and prosperity teachings, and if we are only doing these things for monetary gain, than we would fall into the same category. We hope to give people a space to process some of the bigger questions around faith and life. In that, we want to discover more about the Jesus you mentioned below, who existed outside of all the religions and shows of the day, to give us an example of a life lived simply and motivated by love.

  • @karenvilleda888

    I love this topic because it’s not preached as much as it should and one had to come about it on our own as we seek more of who Jesus is to us and what we are to Him.

    (Feedback) So, I ended up seeing this video without context and just thought that it might be a course on something. And then, I couldn't immediately tell what it was about. This was in part because of how I skimmed it, but also because the video seems rather low energy. So I eventually Googled the book to find out what it was about. ^ Just sharing my first impression. The concept seems interesting.

  • @JerushaWait
    @JerushaWait 2 роки тому

    Loved this. So relate to the expectation of having to conform to some generic standard. In my experience it's been like an entrance fee that must be paid if you want to be admitted to the acceptable circle - like all the tickmarks of their unique tradition must be there or else you're seen as to not really be devoted to God. The last church I was in policed who you were allowed to watch on UA-cam, like what teachers, apostles, prophets were in their acceptable prescribed list. I had a dream about the whole experience where me and my fam had to queue within a store to get into the next store via a turnstile, and there was a security guy stamping the hand only after a vigorous inspection like they do at the airport sometimes. Long story, but they wouldn't let my husband or brother in law in, and in the dream it isolated me having to wait in this adjacent store and I eventually just left the church.

Every opportunity to encounter someone’s heart and show them God’s love is significant. Divine appointments indeed. Thank you. ❤❤❤

    Ah, enjoyed this one. I'm a bit of a rebel too who loves a good question and doesn't want to do what's "normal" or expected just because it's "normal" or expected. Fascinated by the conversation around being small also. I asked God once if there was a lie I was believing that he wanted me to let go of. I was surprised when the following thought was "I am small" and i was curious when i asked what truth to replace it with, he said "I am anointed". Your talk around being small gives me more to think about in this regard.

    "We seem to have put theology as a marker more than the love of God" - Matt Beckingham. "Instead of coming up with a formula what does it look like to just listen to the one who has the answers" - Jade Schultz There was so many powerful revelations in this interview. I had never considered the man at the pool had been waiting 30 years for healing and he never gave up hope. That is mind blowing. Jade your humility is inspiring. I feel like I need a lot more heart surgery after watching this. Thank you both for such a tender and revealing display of our Father. 🌱🌻♥

It feels as though there are a few front runners in the process of discovering a new way to live within the body and the King.

    I’m walking in the garden with a friend that has passed on. There is such peace and beauty; such rest. So much green, lush foliage and a mighty river that is peacefully flowing. The river is enormously powerful. Jesus says that He is in all things and through all things. He asks if I can trust Him with this burden. ‘May I take it from you? I’m asking your permission’. He says to my friend ‘this is my son in whom I am well pleased’. He takes me to the tree of life and gives me a beautifully bright, succulent orange to eat. There is such peace.
