Soma Grand Rapids Church
A church that meets at the downtown WMCAT building in Grand Rapids, MI. We are a Family of Servant Witnesses sent every day to bless Grand Rapids with the life giving presence of Jesus by making disciples who make disciples.
There is a song that we listened to and discussed called Getaway by Taya. Feel free to pause and listen to the song for yourself!
In this episode we show how to listen to the Spirit while doing fruit to root. We are all about discipleship and want to help you grow in gospel fluency and hearing the good news of Jesus from the Spirit.
Following Aaron's sermon on 05/09/21, Soma Grand Rapids Church had a discussion regarding the action step. How do we repent of our moralism and hedonism as we engage in our renewal plans?
Jesus came to the weak, the poor and the oppressed. His birth was good news of peace and reconciliation to those who are humble and turn to Him.
Habakkuk learns to take his eyes of his past or present circumstances and onto God in order to find joy. Gods face of delight over us teaches us to have joy no matter what the circumstances.
Where are you looking to find life? A posture of self-getting ruins your life but a posture of blessing brings well being. Our souls are made for relationship with God and others and the Quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our soul relationships.
This is the first part of our Renewal series where we are talking about how communal renewal always starts with personal renewal. We talk about how as we are renewed by Jesus grace it leads to good works. We are naturally motivated by guilt and fear leading to apathy and aggression and need Jesus grace to help us do good to all and share the good news of Jesus to a nation polarized. As we experience the renewal of Jesus through his grace we can provide hope to a nation that is longing for good news!
Jesus presence gives us hope through various metaphors. We have His presence now but we long for his physical presence where all things will be made new through him and his physical presence with us. Jesus presence gives us hope as we anticipate the wedding celebration, he gives hope to all who are thirsty and how his presence through his face of delight brings healing. We have the already of his Spirits presence but we long for the not yet of his physical presence with us.
We had technical difficulties and didn’t record the first part of the sermon. Thanks for your understanding.
Gods grace is unlocked in Soma as we grow in serving and speaking the gospel with his strength.
