Rock Talk: Who We Are

Who We Are

Seven billion people occupy this tiny slice of history. And it’s not by accident. God chose our generation to make a difference-but He doesn’t want us to do it alone. Find out how in Jesus and We.





Who we Are."Faith-Filled, Big-Thinking"

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for willactually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Heb 11:1 NLT



Spiritual Contributor


31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”33 Then his disciples
said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”34“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. John 4




Who We Are."Irrationally Generous"



1Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia. 2They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.
3For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. 4They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem. 5They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.


Who We Are. "Anything Short Of Sin"


4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. Mark 2:4

Past Rock Talks: Perspective

Perspective

We can find peace among-st chaos, contentment despite limitations, and joy even in our lowest moments. It all comes down to Perspective.





Philippians

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God
every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.



A Different Way Of Thinking 

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 
Phil. 2:5-7


Seeing From A Different Perspective

Do not be anxious about anything , but in everything,by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,present your requeststo God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7



A Different Perspective On Worry

Finally, brothers, whatever is true...noble...right...pure...lovely...admirable-if anything is excellent or praise worthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Phil. 4:8-9
