True Story: Praying Like Jesus
Koral Lorenson | Missio Mesa
The gospel of Jesus is good news even in hard times. Maybe even especially in hard times. In this teaching Kevin Platt leads our Mesa based communities through 2 Corinthians 4 in an encouraging and convicting sermon that ends with so much hope! hello@missiomesa.com if you want to connect.
Much like the appetizer, David was giving Israel a taste of what was to come in Jesus, the main act of the meal. A good appetizer will excite you for what’s to come, it will give you a taste of what is to come, but it cannot fill you up fully. That’s the main course's job. To fill us.
You see David is extremely important in this story. In fact it’s hard to find another character in the Bible as important as David, besides Jesus. He’s instrumental in the story of God moving in his people.
But this story is about a King coming who would do what David could not - Finally make things right.
Some stories have shaped your life. Some have literally changed the trajectory of your existence. This story is one of those for me. My prayer for us tonight is that our lives together are gloriously disrupted by a fresh realization of who God is and in that encounter we realize who we are called to be.
Even on the darkest day, God is still relentlessly pursuing his good plan of redemption.
Genesis 12 teaches us about God’s resounding answer to the questions posed in Genesis 3-11. But how do we take up our role to faithfully live as a blessing to others?
Listen. Trust. Follow. Three words that we hope stick with you from this teaching on Genesis 12. We weren’t able to capture the teaching in AZ, but thankfully preached the same text with a different twist a few weeks later at Great Bay Gospel Fellowship. Enjoy,
When we have a bigger and better view of God through his story we will be a community who better reflects his character in the everyday moments of life. That means that this is the story that needs to orient you at your job, at your school…
Not just a life of memorizing facts, but of being mesmerized at the good God who created a good world.
