The Word and Revival (Nehemiah 7:73b-8:18)
The example of Nehemiah and Israel in his day challenges us not to lose our hold on the Bible. We are to teach and understand God's word, receive the word with appropriate contrition and joy, and ultimately to obediently apply God's word to all of life.

The Father Heart of Paul (part one)
The Father Heart of Paul (part one) The Importance of “Father” to Paul 1. Paul had a special relationship to God as Father (Rom. 8:15, Gal. 4:6) 2. Paul viewed himself as a spiritual father, and his role as father was very important to him (1 Cor. 4:15, 2 Cor. 6:13, Gal 4:19, 2 Tim. 1:2, Titus 1:4) 3. Paul saw himself as being in a lineage of father’s that led back to God the Father (Eph. 3:14-15) Five Ways Paul Loves His Children 1. Attention (time) – A father’s heart is an attentive heart (Rom. 1:9-10, 1 Cor. 1:4, 2 Tim. 1:3) 2. Affection – A father’s heart is filled with affection for his children (2 Tim. 1:2-4, I Cor. 4:17, 2 Cor. 6:11-13) - Hugs, kisses, and words of affection (“I love you, I miss you, I can’t wait to see you again” - Affection must always be unconditional 3. Affirmation – A father’s heart overflows with affirmation (I Cor. 16:13, 1 Tim. 4:12, 1 Tim. 6:11-14, I Thess. 2:11, 2 Tim. 2:1, 2 Tim. 4:1-2) - “You can do it, I believe in you!” 4. Approval – A father’s heart gives approval for a job well done (2 Cor. 7:4, 1 Thess. 2:20, 2 Thess. 1:4) - “Good job, I’m so proud of you, way to go!” 5. Admonishment – A father’s heart gives admonition when needed - It is never shaming (1 Cor. 4:14) - It always strives to build up, not tear down (2 Cor. 13:10)

The Doctrine of Adoption (Galatians 4:1-7)
Adoption gives us the deepest insight into what it means to be a Christian, and into the greatness of God's love for us. We cannot understand our salvation any better than we understand adoption. While justification is the most important and foundational aspect of Christianity, adoption is the greatest and highest experience of the Christian life. In our adoption, we experience God's closeness, affection and generosity. We are challenged to grow in our awareness of God's real love for us as an adoptive Father.

At His Feet
Jesus teaches all of us that it isn’t the big events that are going to really change who we are. The big events don’t make us, they simply reveal what the daily habit of our hearts really are like. Big events don’t give us time to contemplate; whatever is in our hearts comes out. It’s all of the little things. It’s the mundane and monotonous duties of life, the daily routine that God is most concerned with transforming. To desire real, lasting change is to commit to a lifetime of daily change in all the little ways.

A Reformed-Charismatic Approach to Our Bible
<p>This is the first message in a series of messages on what it means to be both reformed and charismatic. These are Christian distinctives that you don't often find in combination. Each has its own particular stereotypes and its own unique tendencies, strengths and weaknesses; we believe that at their best, both positions are biblical, and our goal will be to capture and embrace the strengths of both as we see them in Scripture.</p> <p>In the way that reformed believers approach Scripture, one of their particular strengths is to emphasize the truth, authority, infallibility, sufficiency, and God-breathed nature of scripture. Scripture is God's word to us and it is our source of truth and it is our authority in all matters of life and death. Scripture is to serve as the one objective measure by which we judge all other subjective matters of experience.</p> <p>In the way that charismatic believers approach Scripture, one of their particular strengths is to emphasize the effect that Scripture is to have on us, and the proper response that we are to have. In our reading of scripture God is communicating not <i>merely</i> truth to us, but also encouragement, comfort and hope, as well as warnings and admonition. Scripture is to cause us to grow in joy, contentment, peace, humility. It is to change us, bring wisdom to our foolishness, and speak to every area of our lives.</p> <p>Fortunately, we do not have to choose between these two! We are to eagerly study Scripture as our source of truth, and we are to hungrily apply that truth to our lives as we grow in faith and affection for God, resulting in worship toward him.</p>
