Worship leader and ministry leader of CR Matt Satterfield shares from the CR curriculum.
We are often willing participants in our own deception- What are those lies that often sneak into to our living that can attempt to steal our Joy in God?
The why behind the what of participation with the Family of God- it's a tool and like any tool it can be used for its intended purpose or ulterior purposes.
What shaped Paul's personhood so much that he could write the 'book of joy' in the shadows of prison bars?
Everyone, by the inner realities of your heart towards God is leaving a wake in your community.
Acknowledge some basic fundamentals about the nature of life and avoid having to chop your arm off like '127 hours' guy.
How we think about others and their roles in our life will dictate how we interact with them.
How can the language of the new testament concerning the Holy Spirit help us understand one of his many roles in the Christians life here and now?
Revealing and regenerating. It's totally impossible to live out the Christian life without the Holy Spirit living and active in your personal life.
How do we remain balanced as we often have a tendency either towards waiting/inaction, perhaps even laziness on the one side or restless overactivity on the other? The balance between intimacy with God and being on Mission with God in the world can often times be a difficult path to maintain over the long haul.
Resurrection Stories: How do respond when we blow it with God? Jesus' interaction with Peter tells us a lot about Who God is.
As people of Faith do we leave room for God to surprise us even in the most unexpected places?
Belief in the supernatural, hopes let down & allowing Jesus to speak to us in our places of doubt and Honesty.
Can we look at the claims of Christ with the same honesty with which we perceive our own weaknesses?
Be challenged to open the doors of your heart to receive Jesus' triumphant entry into the corridors of your inner life.
How we respond to suffering may be one of the more formative powers determining the kind person we will be- whether we are one who reflects the Glory and nature of Jesus or not.
What is Repentance? What ISN'T repentance? Why Is the invitation to Repent & Believe the only true gateway to Joy?
What is REVIVAL? A spontaneous spiritual awakening by the Holy Spirit among professing Christians which results in a deepened spiritual experience, holy living, evangelism and missions which overflows in a way that impacts culture and the institutions of society.
What is Lent and why should I participate? Our appetites make wonderful servants but oppressive masters- Fasting can help us say to our appetites, "Because of His Grace, I will not be mastered by anything". Fasting is also how we push aside the good to make room for the great.
Your established disposition towards the Bible may be the barrier to your ability to hear the truth therein.
