My Utmost for His Highest: Living Theology -- Ripple Effects (Chris)

This Sunday, Chris will conclude our series based My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers.  We will consider the way God works wonderfully in all of our lives.  Having been saved by Christ, the purpose of our time on earth is to grow closer to God through Christ and the Holy Spirit.  As we do so, God is able to use us for His purposes in ways that we never fully understand or appreciate.  The ripple effects of His Love then change the world.

My Utmost for His Highest: Living Toward Sanctification (Chris)

This lesson is based on the October 20th passage from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers: What is the purpose of our lives?  Our Salvation has been won by Christ.  We are promised eternal life with Almighty God.  What about here and now?  Is life just a waiting room where we bide our time until paradise arrives?  Not according to Scripture and not based on the life of Jesus.  Sanctification is our purpose: growing closer to God and becoming more like Christ.  It is what we are asking for when we pray, "Thy will be done."  Sanctification is striving, active, living faith.  This lesson considers how to pursue it as true disciples.

My Utmost for His Highest: What Do You Want? (Randy)

What do you want? We spend a lot of our time and mental energy trying to answer that question. Our wants and needs vary widely, but in the end, we typically want something for ourselves.  God offers a different answer to that question, and when we embrace his answer, he blesses us with far more than we ever thought we wanted. Join us as we wrestle with this timeless question and how our faith informs the answer.
