Rooted: Recent Episodes
New England Christians on Campus
This is where you can find the speaking from our weekly gathering Wednesday night gathering for Rooted.
We've seen so much concerning the riches of Christ in these past four weeks but you may be wondering how can I experience all these riches? How can the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, the overflowing life of Christ, and the rejoicing life of Christ even in the midst of suffering, how can all these things become my experience in my circumstances and situations? We cover the key to these questions, the two spirits, here.
Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected, but I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
John 3:34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit not by measure.
When Paul wrote the book of Philippians he was an aged and experienced apostle yet he had the attitude that there was still more Christ to pursue and gain. This should be our attitude toward experiencing Christ as the reality of the good land! Listen in on how this land is a land full of oil, signifying the Spirit, which God gives not by measure.
Deut 8:8 - A land of wheat and barley and vines...
Today we focus in on three items found in the good land and what they typify of our New Testament experience of the all-inclusive Christ.
Our Christ is so vast, so rich, and so immense! The most complete type of our wonderful Lord is the good land promised to the children of Israel. Deuteronomy 8:7 tells us that this land is "a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountains." What does this description mean to us a Christians today? Listen to find out!
From Egypt to the good land, the children of Israel experienced a journey that spanned 40+ years, and 5 books in the Bible. Listen to hear about how their story is actually a picture of our Christian life both personally and corporately.
