Full Devotion to God

As we delve into the study of Matthew chapters 11 and 12, we are challenged by the example of Matthew's prompt response to Jesus' call, urging us to follow Him without hesitation, regardless of our external position or status. Furthermore, through Jesus' teachings and actions in these chapters, we discover that embracing full devotion to God leads to a transformative journey of the heart, mind, and actions, characterized by selflessness, love, and spiritual growth. Therefore, we are also called to emulate Jesus' inclusive nature, inviting others to sit at the table without judgment, just as He did for us.

Silence and Solitude

Hurrying through our lives pushes our emotional and physical cares to the sidelines. God uses the Sabbath and comes in a still small voice to provide us peace and rest. He also places people in our lives to fulfill our needs. Pastor Jae challenges us this week to set aside time and spend the Sabbath every week with God. Spending time in God's presence never fails to provide perfect peace and rest.

Do What Jesus Did

This week Pastor Jae preaches on the importance of living out the lifestyle and doing the things Jesus did as his disciple. Jesus emphasizes in Matthew 28:20 the importance of not only hearing His teachings but also putting them into practice and obeying His commandments. It's a call for the disciples to live out their faith and follow His instructions faithfully.

Be With Jesus

Being with Jesus means to abide in Jesus. Abiding in Jesus means practicing the presence of God by being in two places at once, always. Pastor Jae speaks on how if we want to experience the life of Jesus, we must adopt the lifestyle of Jesus. One way we can do this is to practice the discipline of fasting. This teaching was inspired by John Mark Comer's podcast series on 'Practicing the Way'.

Community

"Part of the very essence of Christianity is to be together in a concrete community, with all the real human faults that are there and the tensions that this will bring us" - Ronald Rohleise Community holds a power like no other, and by the presence of the Holy Spirit, it shapes people into the image of Christ. It arises as the byproduct of commitment, mirroring the faithful covenant made between Jonathan and David.
