Some quotes about our glorious access to the presence of God

published by Jason McConahy on Monday, January 30, 2012

This weekend  we looked deeper at the glory of the New Covenant - that Jesus entered into heaven itself through His own blood, granting us confident and bold access to our Heavenly Father.  Here are some quotes that I came across recently that highlight this glorious reality.  I hope these words encourage you to draw near WITH CONFIDENCE TO THE THRONE OF GOD'S GRACE for all that concerns you today!

The Glorious Promises (Realities) of the New Covenant

published by Jason McConahy on Wednesday, January 25, 2012

This last weekend, in our study through Hebrews, we looked at the glorious promises that are at the heart of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6-13).  This New Covenant was anticipated by the prophet Jeremiah, and its promises are now ours in substance through Christ.  Let these simple yet profound basics of the Gospel wash your heart this week.  Let's keep our eyes on Jesus by keeping our eyes on these wondrous truths in faith...

I want to thank you for your prayers. They are being answered. We are four days into the trip and seeing God do so much. We came in Friday and met a few folks from the church and were able to unpack and get settled, then we had a time of worship and prayer.

Well we are off to a great start in NJ.  God has both allowed us to serve and be served very well thus far.  Our first morning devo's we spent some time confessing sin and praying for one another, which has proven very fruitful.

Gospel Pursuit of the Wisdom of the Proverbs - Part 1

published by Jason McConahy on Wednesday, June 15, 2011

We are venturing into a summer series going through the Proverbs.  This book, in the heart of the Old Testament, is such a gift of God's grace to us:  a treasury of God's wisdom touching practically every area of daily life!

Since the principles found in the Proverbs are so tangible and practical, we can be pulled into dangerous territory if we jump in and try to apply its wisdom apart from pursuing the God who gives that wisdom.  

Gospel Pursuit of the Wisdom of the Proverbs - Part 2

published by Jason McConahy on Wednesday, June 15, 2011

As we venture into the Proverbs, we will undoubtedly face conviction through the Spirit as He reveals ways that our lives don't line up with the wisdom of God.  In that moment, we must understand the Gospel if we are to respond rightly to how God is wanting to graciously mold and shape us.  

Here are some "gospel principles" we looked at last week to help us pursue the wisdom of the Proverbs rightly...

Questions to ask your wife on date night

published by Kevin Wolfe on Wednesday, May 4, 2011

One of the observations that we make in the Song of Solomon is how the husband (in this case Solomon) draws out his wife and connects with her emotionally.

"Oh my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret place of the steep pathway, let me see your form, let me hear our voice; for your voice is sweet, and your form is lovely."  Song of Solomon 2:14

Discipleship as a Way of Life

published by Jason McConahy on Tuesday, March 22, 2011

This past weekend we used Philippians 4:9 as a launching point to look at how God wants to use each one of us in growing His church.  By His design, discipleship takes place through life-to-life transfer in the context of biblical community.  That means that each one of us has so much to learn from others, and also so much to impart to others.  If you are interested in exploring this topic a little more, here are two sermons from the past 18 months that build upon this idea...
