  4. 3 Tools 4.5 -- Everyone's Role To Play Inside Community

    Everyone has personality giftings so that they can build up each other into the fullness of Christ. It isn't just the staff's job to equip the saints. Every saint equips other saints. Ephesians 4:7-16

  5. 3 Tools 4.4 -- Strengthen Each Other

    We gather to strengthen each other so that we have faith in the Living God. Strengthening each other happens through encouragement and challenging. Who do you have in your life that strengthens you?

  6. 3 Tools 4.3 -- Carry Each Other's Burden of Sin

    Sin is like pouring the wrong gasoline into our soul and expecting the performance to be the same. How intense are we willing to get to flush out our system and get the gasonline of the Holy Spirit through our soul? Finding a Super Small Group to share in carrying the burden of our sin will help…

  7. 3 Tools 4.2 -- Using Freedom to Serve Not Devour

    Love means we use our freedom in Christ to serve others. If we have a list of "Have to's" we will use our freedom to attack and devour each other. Serving allows Eternal Life to flow. Attacking cuts off Eternal Life. Which one do you want to do?

  8. 3 Tools 4.1 -- Perfect Love Drives Out Fear

    Perfect love drives out fear. If we fear or if we lead by fear, it is all about being punished...or tormented. Perfect love drives out this fear becuase we focus on discipline...bringing others to share in God's holiness. Community causes friction and love is the oil to reduce friction and the...

  9. 3 Tools 3.5 -- You Are Treasured By God

    God sent angels to tell Daniel he was treasured by God. For you, he sent his Son to die to give you a backstage pass into his Throne Room, he gives you his Spirit (instead of an angel) to be with you continuously. He treasures you. Keep going in prayer. Let God work because you know he treasures...

  10. 3 Tools 3.4 -- Keep Perservering Through Prayer

    What happens when it seems like God is not answering your prayer? What happens when it seems like the opposite of your prayer is happening? Keep praying. Jesus experienced a delayed response from God. That delayed response led to Jesus being the source of Eternal Life because he resurrected from...

  11. 3 Tools 3.3 -- Praying God Down To Earth

    God invites us into his Throne Room. Now Jesus invites us to pray God's Throne Room down to earth. Matthew 6:9-15.

  12. 3 Tools 3.2 -- Prayer In Our Weakness

    We're allowed to come before God in boldness to speak freely. What about when we are weak and don't know what to say? The Spirit always has our back in prayer. He interprets for us to God. In doing so, prayer transforms us into the image of the Son to glorify God in our life.

  13. 3 Tools 3.1 -- Speak Freely in God's Throne Room

    Prayer is us tapping into the Eternal Life moment-by-moment, but that doesn't mean we sit idly by hoping God will decide to come close to us. He invites us to come into his Throne Room and get Eternal Life directly from the Source. Even more than that, we get to deepen the relationship we have…

  14. 3 Tools 2.5 -- Finding Life in God's Word

    Daniel read God's written word to point him to God's Eternal Life. When he read Jeremiah, he used it to drive him to his knees in prayer. He didn't use it as a way to gather & teach information. Use the Bible to drive you to your knees in prayer because what God wants to do in and through your…

    more
  15. 3 Tools 2.4 -- The Word That Is Life That Is Light

    The written word points us to the definitive Word who tabernacled among us so we can have relationship with him. This Word is the Zoe Life. Through Zoe Life flooding our soul, the Word Lightens the way for our biological life.

  16. 3 Tools 2.3 -- Find Rest Because the Bible Cuts Us

    Another role of the Bible is to help us find rest because it cuts us a part. How is that rest? Just like cutting cancer out of our bodies or performing surgery on a clogged artery, God's Word removes what gets in the way of the Living Water that God wants to flood our soul.

  17. 3 Tools 2.2 -- Bringing Life To Dry Bones

    God uses the Bible to build our biological bodies together. Then he uses the Spirit to breathe Zoe Life into our souls so that what God is building comes to Life. Then he uses us for a specific purpose in building his Kingdom here on earth.

  18. 3 Tools 2.1 -- The Role of the Bible in Giving Life

    The role of the Bible isn't to give us Eternal Life. The role is to point to Jesus who is the One who gives us Eternal Life. Jesus tells the religious leaders in John 5:39-40 what role the Bible plays.

  19. 3 Tools 1.3 -- First, Before

    God sent his Spirit to us so that we can find victories over the old person who won't stay dead. Romans 8 shows us the role the Spirit has in our life to bring victories over the old life so that God's Zoe Life will flow through our soul.

  20. 3 Tools 1.2 -- New Creation a Baby Step at a Time

    God is transforming us into a New Creation. Sure we know this theologically. What about practically? God is more patient with our transformation than we have with ourselves.

  21. 3 Tools 1:1 -- A New Creation

    If God wants us to use tools to build Life into our soul, then there must be a blueprint. The blueprint, the only thing that matters, is that we become a brand new creation. In Galatians 6, Paul teaches us about this blueprint and how to find God's purpose.

  22. 3 Tools Intro

    God created us for biological life, but he also created us for so much more. He created us to have Zoe, Eternal Life that flows from God's Throne into our soul and out into our biological life. He gives us 3 tools to wade out deeper into his Zoe Life.

  23. Foreshadow #4 - God of the Isolated

    Isaiah foreshadows a Successful Servant. His success isn't what you would expect. The Successful Servant will be rejected, take the fall and be cut off. Being God of the Isolated would be his success. Why was this success for him?

  24. Foreshadow 3 - God of the Overlooked

    Micah pointed forward to one who would be overlooked. Yet Jesus didn't lead from being overlooked. He led from his identity and mission that came from his Heavenly Father. How can we too lead from our Heavenly Father's identity and mission for our lives? From Micah 5:1-5

  25. Foreshadow #2 - God of the Scattered

    Our churches often focus on gathering the gathered. God wants leaders to rise up to gather the scattered...just like Jesus did.

  30. Episode 1.47 - Being a Secret Disciple

    Joseph & Nicodemus were secret disciples. And they decided to come out of the shadows to give Jesus a proper burial. When you find yourself as a secret disciple, find others who understand and who grow you out of the shadows. Based on John 19:31-42

  31. Episode 1.46 - The Eternal King Who Has Died

    Jesus is the Eternal King who died. Who follows an Eternal King who dies? And why would we ever follow him? Based on John 19:1-30

  32. Episode 1.45 - The King of a Different Kingdom

    Jesus is the King of a different Kingdom. And when he came to earth, it was to prove it. We're slaves to earthly kingdoms and Jesus is the King who sets us free. Based on John 18:28-40

  33. Episode 1.44 - Public Bravado v Private Denial

    Peter's public bravado melted into public denial. And yet Jesus remained publically meek. Based on John 18:15-27

  34. Episode 1.43 - Put Your Swords Away

  38. Episode 1.39 - Loving Everyone Through the Hatred

    Jesus told his discples to expect others to hate them. But he wasn't telling them so they'd freak out about it. He told them to be ready, but to still love and serve through it all. Based on John 15:18-16:4

  39. Episode 1.38 - Marinade In Jesus

    Jesus has one job description for his disciples: Remain in Jesus. Or marinade in him. So that your life has all the flavoring of Jesus. Based on John 15:1-17

  40. Episode 1.37 - Don't Be Troubled

    Everything was not as it should have been or seemed to be for the disciples. And Jesus is telling them to not be troubled. How can they not be troubled in a time like this? Based on John 14:15-31.

  41. Episode 1.36 - Simply Hear & Follow Jesus

    Throw away the religious bravado & the religious garb and simply Hear & Follow Jesus through the jungle of life. He will lead you to the place he has prepared for you to find Life. Based on John 14:1-14

  42. Episode 1.35 - Glorifying the Father

    Glorifying God isn't an awesome worship service. It is making him visible to those who can't see him. And Jesus gives us the #1 way to glorify God. Based on John 13:21-38

  43. Episode 1.34 - Being the Lowest in the Room

    Jesus took on the role of the lowest servant. The best leaders with the best teams are willing to be the lowest, even when they have the greatest title. Based on John 13:1-20

  44. Episode 1.33 - Loving Man's Praise More

    There were those who believed in Jesus, but weren't willing to commit publically because of loving the praise of man more than the praise of God. Do we fall into this same trap? Based on John 12:37-50

  45. Episode 1.32 - Give Your Life to Find It

    Jesus lost his life in order for us to find Life. To find this Life, we must follow him. To follow him, we must lose our life. And in losing our life, we find Jesus' Life.

  46. Episode 1.31 - Your Act of Extravagant Worship

    Extravagant worship is different for different people. But it will always be second guessed and criticized. What is your next step of extravagant worship? Based on John 12:1-11

  47. Episode 1.39 - What Are You Holding On To?

    Whatever we hold on to, we get to keep. But if we hold onto anything but Jesus, we will lose that too. Based on John 11:45-57

  48. Episode 1.29 - Being a Dead Man That Comes Out
