With each member giving an amount that God’s directs them, we give approximately $100,000 annually. Pray that others will join us in Faith Promise Giving above their Tithe to spread the Gospel around the world.
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
John 6:44, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Hearing and understanding the Lord’s voice is a vital and integral part of our daily Christian life.
We are actually participating in Christ’s own experience described in Isaiah 50:4-5, “The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.”
The Lord Himself needed to have His ear awakened morning by morning in order to live an obedient life in His humanity.
The Lord lives His life in us today in the same way that He lived His life on the earth.
Indeed, His human life is being reproduced in us by the Spirit.
Thus, we should become more familiar with this aspect of His life so that we can hear and understand His voice in us.
The Lord’s voice in us is described in John’s Gospel as an inner drawing.
In John 6:37 the Lord says, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
And again in verses 44-45 He says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”
Thus, to hear God and be taught by God is, in essence, to experience an inward drawing toward the Lord Jesus.
That is, this inward speaking is experienced as an attraction toward Christ.
This inner drawing indicates His direct speaking to us.
