Living Faith
Season 2
by Northside Baptist Church
Spiritual disciplines are like sleep apnea machines, only for our soul. They supply us with a continuous flow of God’s life-sustaining Spirit empowering us and enabling us to live with an endurance and strength we didn’t know we had.
Have you ever faced something so daunting that you just couldn’t see anyway through it? Maybe in that moment you even felt like there was no hope, no purpose in continuing to try.
Do you think it possible that we are running low on imagination and vision these days? As a people we are great a remaking something from the past, but things that are fresh and new seem to be few and far between.
When our goal is to love and accept others God gives us the opportunity to put that on display, many times in the most unexpected ways and to the most unexpected of people.
There have been more lives than we can number who have misinterpreted or ignored the warning signs people around them were putting off and as a result experienced hurt or loss that they never saw coming.
There is nothing in this world like the church, the people of God that are live out their faith, blessing those around them as they share the Good News of Jesus and His ready acceptance of all men.
Waiting is never easy but knowing the faithfulness of the One we wait for makes it so much easier.
We’ve probably all heard someone tell us at one time or another that life will come at you pretty fast sometimes, and sometimes it happens in the most unexpected times.
There are moments in life when taking a shortcut seems to be the right and prudent thing to do, but some of the most important things take time, effort, and patience because there are no shortcuts.
There are few things in life that bring more joy and satisfaction than passing on something we’ve learned or experienced in way that helps someone through a tough spot in life.
