Learn From the Past

Everything that we experience and express becomes the collective that is referred to in the Bible as a living sacrifice. What we have to offer our environment is determined by what we agree to let in. We all hold an inventory of everything that we have not taken the time to mentally and emotionally process deep within ourselves. With intentionality, all of us can learn from our experiences and grow in our ability to express those experiences.

  • Experience & Expression

  • Inventory & Intentionality

  • Forgiveness & Surrender

Live In The Present

As we take in experiences, by nature, we are inclined to express the impact of how the experiences effect us. How we express ourselves gratifies and glorifies the desire or detestation of our decisions. surrender & santify. The soul facilitates the heart and mind, collectively allowing for a will and the ability to decide. The things that we choose in our souls are then glorified by an outpouring of worship through our spirit put on display via our bodies and minds.

  • Desires & Decisions

  • Gratify & Glorify

Pray For the Future

The spirit dwells within the soul providing the capacity for connection and communion with other spiritual beings. Our spirits can take input from and give output to other spirits. What we give and receive spiritually is dependent on the authority that we give via the decisions of our soul. Intentionality is critical when it comes to the spiritual connections we make.

  • Fellowship & Freedom

  • Sacrifice & Sanctification

Relationship & Responsibility

Much like spirit and body, relationship and responsibility cannot function without one another.

Defining Freedom

Growing up in Midwestern America, freedom has always been synonymous with liberty. What do I have the right to?

But our rights do not merit our worth nor our value. Freedom is not about rights or rewards.

Real value and worth hold volume. They can be a lot to carry. But the blessing is in the burden. A weightless life will pan out cheap and meaningless.

Freedom is defined as being given the ability to take responsibility of our own personal character as individuals and, after owning that responsibility, using it to love the people around us as if they carry the same worth and value… because they do.

Freedom isn’t about what we can get. It’s about what we can give. The greater our capacity for love the greater our capacity for freedom. The more that we give out of love the more we reflect the heart of God and the more we experience the true joy of freedom in Christ.

Fortunately, we have the ability to grow because personally, I suck at being free.

Galatians 5:13 - “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”

 

"I realize that words fall flat if they’re not followed through with action. So, as I call you along side me, I ask you to hold me accountable to this…

You are the joy of the Lord... so be it."

- Sam Norwood

Isaiah 62:5 - “As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.“
