City Gates Church Podcast

Through time God has attempted to reveal himself to us and be in relationship with us. Truly understanding the identity of the living God can only come through revelation of the Spirit. Scripture cannot contradict itself and is clear on the identity of who God is. One God, one faith, one baptism. Father in creation, Son in redemption and Holy Spirit in regeneration. Comprehending that Jesus is the image of the invisible God establishes the foundation of our faith.

We are created in the image of God and what he says about us gives us purpose and defines our identity. Receiving the gift of God is completely based on his unmerited grace. We are given his identity to reflect onto the world. We are not defined by our past mistakes or past life. In God we are made new and the old is washed away. We are called into his marvelous light and redefined. New purpose, new direction, new creation in Jesus Christ. His image is our identity. Ephesians 2:8-10

What could we possibly offer to God that would truly honor Him if everything already belongs to Him? From what we receive of His hand we offer back to Him from a place of surrender, dependency and obedience. Biblical stewardship means recognizing that God owns everything, and we act as stewards of His resources rather than absolute owners. The topic of biblical financial stewardship typically stirs up misconceptions. Money engages our emotions based on what we know and our current beliefs of money. Let’s grow from living beyond our means to “Living Within Our Blessings”

Trust is something that can be given until it's lost. Once it's lost it is very difficult to earn back. We've all experienced some type of betrayal or let down at some point in our life creating trust issues. Despite what caused our pain, sometimes our trust issues blend into how we trust God or not. People can fail us and not show up, but God is always present. People can fail us and walk out of our life, but God desires close relationship. People can take more from us than we're planning to give, but God is interested in pouring into our life. People are fallible, but God is infallible and his word is true. God is looking to heal us from our pain and yet sometimes both are true. We can be triggered but yet we continue to hope and learn to trust God's word.

Life consists of pursuing and achieving many things. Not all things are beneficial to us. Not all things we pursue are worth going the distance for. Seeking out wisdom is the beginning of understanding and the fear of the Lord. Pursuit anything where God is not number one, is meaningless. Nothing temporary or fleeting is worth seeking out other than the eternal Kingdom of God and its righteousness.

Truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding are all values the Bible encourages to pursue and purchase. No matter the cost, these values carry a price tag and maintain our life on course. Invaluable's never depreciate, never go on sale and never go out of style. We must acquire truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding as we learn to live practically and spiritually, pleasing the Lord in all areas of our life. It's Not for Sale.

In every moment of distress the Lord has rescued, redeemed and restored. Once you have trusted in God and he has shown up time after time we encounter the depth of his love. Every instance that we call out to God he has shown his faithfulness in our frailty.
Has the Lord rescued you from distress? Has the Lord redeemed you from your shortcomings? Has the Lord restored your life in any way? We must have genuine worship to offer. Sing one more song in gratitude and offer songs of praise to the one true living God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

We no longer have to sing the tune to our own song. We can now sing a new song in surrender to the Lord. As we give God the rightful position as King, Lord and Savior of our lives he puts a new song in our mouth.
God is worthy to be praised. The Lord reigns is a strong theme throughout the fourth book of Psalms. Despite our circumstances and the outcomes around the world, the Lord's throne is still established. From everlasting to everlasting the Lord reigns.

God has ordained a divine order for creation and families. When men and women step into the position of leadership God himself ordained, our life creates rhythmic worship. When we violate these roles it creates chaos and it longer harmonizes together. God is calling us back to the order he established. Step up and take back your song. Psalms 78:1-8

Have you ever had to pray in silence? Have you ever had to endure pain alone or cry tears that no-one sees? Maybe you’ve experienced carrying prayers alone as you walk through a season of pain. The book of Psalms provides hope as we are reminded that we can rest peacefully in God as he works through our circumstances. Psalms 62:5-8
