Thirsting Souls Daniel Steeves

You can experience God’s grace and refuse to let it
affect you.

That’s not what Paul wants for us, and it is definitely not
what the Lord wants for us, so 2 Corinthians 6 is going to push us to respond appropriately to God’s grace.

Because grace has been freely delivered through the work of Christ, you must respond to God’s call on your life.

The work of Jesus Christ brought about radical, free-flowing grace. He wants you to have an abundance of it, but in order for you to have this grace, you must respond to God’s call on your life.

Proverbs 9 gives us a theoretically easy choice. We can choose wisdom or we can choose folly. Making the “right” choice is theoretically simple. We need wisdom, but we are experts at making the wrong choice. We choose folly. Proverbs 9 shows us how to choose wisdom more consistently.

In this section of Proverbs, Solomon is coaching his son on how to live life at its best. By extension, Jesus is telling us how to live our lives at their best.

Throughout this section, we’ll see instructions from Solomon to his son and from Jesus to us. God wants us to do something. He gives instructions to direct us, and those instructions are quickly followed by incentives.

God desires for you to have a foolproof life—to live with perpetual wisdom that draws you closer to him.
you must die to yourself.

You must forget yourself and pay attention to the risen Lord, Jesus Christ. When you look at the cross, you should see the source of all wisdom dying there for fools like you simply because He loves you. Look away from yourself and look at Him. Let your pride melt away. Worship, grow in your fear of the Lord, and let’s grow in wisdom this week so that we can live a foolproof life. Let’s apply truth in every moment for godly purposes.

Hebrews 5:11-14 issues a stern rebuke to the author's readers. They have grown lazy and are avoiding the deep things of God's word. They need to mature and grow in their ability to understand, and that brings up a question. How should they grow their ability to interpret God's Word? Listen along to be equipped with the answer!

Mark 15 tells a horrifying story—one filled with more grief than we can imagine. And yet it was that grief that proved the love that Jesus has for those he came to save. Listen along as Pastor Daniel preaches through the crucifixion account in Mark 15.
