The RE-Process Project: RE-CONCILIATION

FAITH-O-METER: Doubt

Amy conducted a live session discussing doubt as part of her faith-ometer series about measures of faith. She explored biblical examples of doubt, including the apostles' reactions to the resurrection in Luke 24 and the story of the Road to Emmaus, emphasizing that even dedicated followers like the apostles experienced doubt. Amy discussed how doubt often arises from putting confidence in temporary, physical things rather than in God's eternal nature, citing research showing the top reasons people doubt God are religious hypocrisy, church hurt, and human suffering. She explained that doubt doesn't indicate a lack of salvation and provided practical advice for dealing with doubt, including remembering one's first love for God, repenting of doubts, and returning to a relationship with God. The session concluded with a prayer and a reminder that believers are not alone in their struggles with doubt.

FAITH-O-METER: Following at a Distance

Amy delivered a message about following God at a distance, using the concept as a point on her "faith-ometer" series. She examined biblical examples, particularly focusing on Peter's denial of Jesus and the Church of Sardis from Revelation, to illustrate what it means to follow Christ at an arm's length rather than closely. Amy discussed various ways people distance themselves from God, including being consumer spectators, prioritizing opinions over God's will, selective obedience, and self-reliance. She emphasized that while believers cannot lose their salvation, following God at a distance prevents true relationship and spiritual growth, urging listeners to ask God where they might be compromising their relationship with Him.

FAITH-O-METER: Falling Away

Amy conducted a Bible study session focused on the concept of "lukewarm Christianity," using the Faithometer framework to discuss different levels of faith commitment. She examined biblical examples including Jesus's disciples falling away during his arrest and Jonah running from God's calling, then connected these to the Laodicean church in Revelation 3 that Jesus described as "lukewarm" and "nauseating." Amy shared personal examples of how she had experienced conviction about her material possessions and running away from God's call, encouraging the audience to examine their own faith boundaries and commitment levels.

The RE-Process Project: RETURN & REWARD

Amy led a discussion on the "reprocess project" focusing on the return and reward of salvation through Jesus Christ. She explored biblical passages about Jesus's return, emphasizing that no one knows the exact timing and encouraging readiness through living a life aligned with Christian principles. Amy discussed the concept of rewards in heaven versus temporary earthly rewards, using examples from the Bible to illustrate the differences between believers and non-believers on Judgment Day. She challenged attendees to reflect on where their hearts are focused and encouraged them to seek God's guidance in aligning with heavenly rewards.

The RE-Process Project: REGENERATION

Amy led a Bible study session focused on the "Reprocess Project," specifically discussing the concept of regeneration or rebirth as part of salvation. She explained the process using four key concepts starting with "RE": Rebirth (being born again), Regeneration (the ongoing transformation process), Renewal (renewing the mind through the Word), and Remain (staying connected to God). Amy referenced multiple Bible verses, including 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 3:3-7, and John 15:4-17, to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing that true salvation involves a complete transformation rather than just reforming one's behavior.
