    248: Holy Spirit Danny and Michael

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Communion with the Holy Spirit Jesus Declares Matthew 6:11 “Give us today our daily bread.” John 6:35 I am the Bread of life Jesus connects this life to the Spirit John 6:63 “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you they are full of the Spirit and life.” There it is. Bread → Jesus → Spirit → Life. 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.” 2 Corinthians 13:14 There is something incredibly beautiful in Paul’s closing words to the Corinthians. He speaks of the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and then the communion of the Holy Spirit. The word translated communion is the Greek word koinōnia. It carries the idea of fellowship, participation, sharing, partnership, and communion. Paul isn’t describing the Holy Spirit merely as a theological doctrine we are supposed to believe. He is describing a relationship we are invited to experience and participate in. That distinction matters. The Holy Spirit is not another religious responsibility to manage. He is divine communion to be enjoyed, cultivated, and lived from. We don’t cultivate the Holy Spirit’s presence as though He keeps leaving and we have to convince Him to return. We cultivate our awareness and communion with the Holy Spirit who is already present. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

    247: False Reality Danny and Michael

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Genesis 2:9 Out of the ground the LORD God caused every tree to grow that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:7-10 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings. Now they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

    246: Where Are You? Danny, Michael, Ezra, Zach

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content The Courage to Be Seen Where are you? Living Exposed: Finding God in the Courage to Be Known Core Thesis We spend much of life hiding behind performance, success, religion, titles, and fear. Yet from Genesis to Jesus, God’s invitation is not to hide but to be fully known. When we stop protecting our image, we become free to see the divine image in others. 1. Adam and Eve hide after the fall Genesis 3:8–10 2. Humans bear God’s image Genesis 1:26–27 3. God looks at the heart 1 Samuel 16:7 4. Jesus invites us into truth John 8:32 5. Walking in the light 1 John 1:7 6. Confession brings healing James 5:16 7. Perfect love casts out fear 1 John 4:18 8. Nothing is hidden from God Hebrews 4:13 Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

    245: It Takes All That Danny, Michael, Ezra, Chris, Cornell

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Seek first the kIngdom require as vital , Love the Lord YOUR GOD with ALL and what does it actually look like to give your whole self to something meaningful without it becoming performative or exhausting?” The call of Jesus was never about partial awareness or divided living. It was always an invitation into wholeness, into full surrender, full trust, and full union. Not because God is demanding performance, but because fragmented living keeps us from experiencing fullness. Jesus speaks often in the language of “all.” “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37 NASB This is not legalism, it is alignment. Love naturally wants fullness. “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23 NASB Denying self is not self-hatred. It is letting go of the false self, the fearful self, the striving self, so the true life of Christ can emerge. “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field… and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Matthew 13:44 NASB Notice the language: He sells all, not because he is forced to, but because he discovered something greater. Awareness changes what we cling to. “So therefore, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.” Luke 14:33 NASB Jesus is not obsessed with possessions. He is confronting attachment. Anything we cling to more than love limits awareness. “He who loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:39 NASB The paradox of the Kingdom is this: When we let go, we awaken. When we surrender, we become alive. When we stop trying to preserve the false self, we discover the true self.

    244: Kingdom Clarity Danny and Michael

    What is Kingdom Clarity? Kingdom clarity is not about knowing everything ahead of time. It is about being undivided in heart and aligned with God in the present moment. In Gospel of Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” The word pure (Greek: katharos) means: * unmixed * undivided * clear Clarity in the Kingdom is not information, it is alignment. And in Gospel of Matthew 6:22: “If your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.” The word clear (Greek: haplous) means: * single * focused * whole So Jesus is saying: When your heart is not divided, your life fills with light.

    243: Trust Formation Danny, Michael, Ezra, Zach

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content How has God formed you in the area of trust? Romans 8:16 “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities, for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Ephesians 3:16–17 “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 “Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” Trust in God is rarely instant, it is formed through relationship, testing, and experience. Trust in God is formed through: 1. Lover Encounter 2. Testing 3. Obedience 4. Surrender Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

    242: Loving Into Maturity Danny Ortiz

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content John 13:34 Love like Jesus love he is the standard Romans 5:5 We need the Holy Spirit to love LOVE IS THE MEASURE OF THE CHURCH, not services, not our preaching or our songs Matthew 16:18 (NASB) “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” Jesus does not delegate the building of the Church. He claims it. “I will build My church.” The Church is not a human project, it is a divine work. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. This I command you, that you love one another. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com
