RE: Reset

Monday Sep 24, 2018
Join us as we continue our RE series. This week Pastor Neli points us towards Jesus' life and his design for resetting. There are going to be times when the activities of life draw us away from the affection we have towards God. This means we often disconnect from the fire of the Holy Spirit and get "burnt out". But it's our intimacy with God that empowers our duty for him. God wants to reset our hearts today.
I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
- Revelation 2:3-4 (ESV)

RE: Resist

Join us as we continue our RE series. Pastor Neli references the book "The Art of Rest (Adam Mabry) when he talks about resistance. One of the reasons we need to resist is because we are so tempted by and caught up in the activities of life that it takes us away from our time of rest with God. We are asked to resist autonomy, idolatry and anxiety. Instead we are to embrace levity and leisure, find a hobby, regularly worship the Lord, and make room to rest with Jesus.
On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

RE: Rest

Join us as we continue our RE series. This week Pastor Neli talks to us about rest. When we look at the Book of Genesis, God had finished creating the heavens and the earth and he chose to rest. But why does he need to rest? God doesn't rest because he was exhausted he rested because he was exhilarated. Have you been able to take a step back and look at the beauty of your story or of God’s creation? Have you put life on pause for a moment to drink in the beauty of who he’s created you to be and how he’s created you to live this life? Take rest today and remember the goodness of God.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

Join us as we continue our current series, "RE:". We're getting back to the original intent of relationships. Pastor Neli highlights how well we love one another is usually a reflection of how deep our love is for God. Happiness may be based on what's happening around us, but joy is founded on the rock of salvation that no matter what storms come our way we've still got a reason to praise God. He's created us to be spirit lead. If our spirit is filled with the joy of the Lord it will dictate our emotions. So how is your joy? Do you draw your strength from the joy of the Lord?
God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him! As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God!
- Psalm 68:1,2 (ESV)
