The Thrill of Discovery
Series: Potential
No one is too far from God and there is not an area of our lives out of reach of his healing restoring power and love.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
Jesus' life, death, resurrection and ascension, greatest gift because it gave us a seat at the table.
The ongoing discovery is paramount!
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:16-19 NIV
Discovery is holding what we know about God humbly.
But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.
1 Corinthians 8:1 NIV
God is not a concept to figure out, He is a person to discover and know.
Discovery is living in the beauty and tension of the mystery.
Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
Job 11:7-9 NIV
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7 NIV
“and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:19 NIV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10 NIV
Discovery is living a life of revelation like Jesus.
