Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast Meadow Springs Community Church Portland Oregon

Remember who you are… an important admonition for Daniel as he follows God in the midst of serious opposition. Daniel continues to pursue a life of faithfulness and trusts in God’s promises even though it got hard… really hard. How can we follow Daniel’s example and look forward - truly ‘wait for it’ - as we live life in a culture that is hostile to believers in Jesus?

The book of Daniel contains religious, cultural and political implications that are equally relevant now. How do God’s people remain faithful to Him while living in a culture that is hostile to their faith? Explore with us, from now through the end of July, what it means to be a Christian in the culture today as we determine “how then shall we live?” in the midst of our own cultural chaos.

Moms, how often have you said, “Oh, I’m fine. Things are fiiiiine” when asked how you are? Sometimes? Always? Where do you go when things are. not. fine? When the weight of the world is heavy, and when sin and struggle seem overwhelming, there is comfort in our closeness to Jesus.

Can you think of some things to be thankful for? It’s not November or Thanksgiving Day, but we can practice thankfulness everyday… for the redemption of our sin, for God’s dominion over all of creation and His daily provision in each of our lives. May we all shout and sing for joy because of these things!

To really serve someone is an invitation from Jesus to meet that person in their present & particular need. It could look like a lot of different things - be open to all kinds of opportunities.
Additionally, as we build a relationship with someone, there will be a chance to share about yourself. Telling any story well is an art! Jesus has done something amazing in all of our faith stories - can tell yours in an interesting and meaningful way?

There are some really important things that will pave the way for us as believers to truly ‘bless’ someone. Pray for interactions with them; Listen to them and learn; Eat together. The significance of doing these things cannot be underestimated - they can become sacred times together that bring you closer to one another but also to the Lord.
