    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

    241: Human Relationships Danny, Michael, Ezra

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content John 15:-12-17 Disciples’ Relation to Each Other “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 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

    240: Dead Man Walking Danny, Michael, Ezra, Zach

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Romans 8:10-14 If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. 2 Corinthians 4:10–12 always carrying around in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who live are constantly being handed over to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you. Acts 2:44-46 And all the believers were together and had all things in common; and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com

    239: Jesus IS The Anchor Danny and Michael

    Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com Content Hebrews 1:1-2 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the world. Hebrews 6:17-20 In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to the heirs of the promise the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, confirmed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Acts 2:42-47 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. And all the believers were together and had all things in common; and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or www.thewavecolumbus.com or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com
