What is it that makes them so special that they would be used? Using the story of David and Saul as our guide this week, we will be exploring some of the keys to true, Biblical Authority. We will look at how Kingdom Authority differs from worldly authority, and how God will use the battles and lessons of today to make us for authority in the future.

As we’ve studied the last two Sundays, Jesus tells us the way we handle our money and possessions says a lot about what we actually believe about the Kingdom of God. In fact, 11 or Jesus’ 39 parables deal with finances and money directly, so as his disciples we must be wise in this area of our lives.

The key questions that come up in these parables are similar. Are we storing up for ourselves treasures on earth or investing in treasures that are eternal? Are we aware that we are accountable to God with how we use the things we have? Remember, this journey we are embarking on as a church leads us into more and more freedom!

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. This Sunday we will conclude the Community chapter of our Rediscovering the Church study. This passage captures what we studied last week and what we will dive into this Sunday. What does it mean for us to overcome the evil one by the power of our testimony? Do we love Jesus more than our very lives?

As we have look at the church’s call to be on mission with God, we can’t forget the church is also called to be in communion or covenant with God and one another. Most of us are even more comfortable with one over the other, but what would it look like if we were radically committed to covenant community and kingdom mission with God?

What would it look like if the whole church was release as “communities on mission”? The New Testament gives us a clear model of what this can and should look like. Quite frankly, it’s really amazing. And it changes everything, but it is up to you to embrace what is possible.

When was the last time you used that exhaling, life-giving breath to just say “Thanks”? “Thanks for breath, the last one and the next one.” If it’s been a while, do it with that next breath.

One of those gifts is being a father; the flip-side of that gift is having a father. The heart of that truth is the teaching of Jesus to His followers, which pointed us to this amazing attribute of our Heavenly Father: “Ask, and it will be given, if you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”
