The Responsibility of Redemption

On our journey with the Lord, we have all experienced apathy, wearyness and loss of momentum. in this episode we discuss what it means to regain our momentum towards experiencing the promises of God.

In this episode of Deep Dive, Dalene relates a incident where she had to overcome the fear of letting go in order to walk without assistance. There are defining moments in our walk with God where He calls us to let go of fear and disappointment in order to walk in the new season He has for us. How do we overcome those obstacles and rename our future?  

In this podcast we discuss the inauguration, continuation, and consummation of the Kingdom of God and what that looks like to us as beleivers. 

When Jesus came to earth He inaugurated the Kingdom of Heaven and said that the fulfilment of all things would happen over time. We are living in that continuation period; the Kingdom is here but not fully yet. In this continuation period, we still experience death, destruction and the weakness of this age. However, we have Holy Spirit who was sent to help us navigate life, especially when we are weak; He intercedes on our behalf to bring about the will of the Father for our lives. 

Social media and our current western culture all have on thing in common - they are the image makers for countless people, young and old, male and female who long to be someone else, somehwere else, anything but the nagging dispostion of being in their own skin.

The Good News introduced by Jesus Christ is that there is a better option than tailoring our own image and likeness: He opened the door to return to the original plan of living with the image and likeness of our heavely Father. 

You are not a nobody, nor are you ordinary. God created us to be extraordinary and put within us the ablity to extend a hand and be a blessing and an encouragment to those around us. If you want to see change in your world, be the catalist that God has created you to be. 

In this final message on the God Who Blesses series, Stephen shares how we are to perpetuate the blessing of reconciling people back to who they were created to be in Christ. He shares four practical ways to bless people in our every day life.

In part two of this series, Stephen shares three contures that guide our understanding of blessing; who is this God that blesses, why does God bless and, Kingdom blessing. 

God, the life sustainer, is the One who blesses and in turn stewards us with the responsabiblity to extend this blessing to all those around us. In part one of this series, Stephen brakes down Genesis 1:28 and what the blessing of God looks like.
