Living My MUSD #6: Shared Prayer through Forgiving Redemptively

Phil Ware opens the New Testament and reminds of a great way to live out our mission while under social distancing, prayer because prayer has always been a virtual way of blessing others.

Living My Mission Under Social Distancing

Dealing with the Anger Inside

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are ToGather: People from around the world, gathered virtually, to honor God as we are reshaped by his Spirit to do the work of Jesus in our broken world.

Living My MUSD #5: Shared Prayer through Interceding Personally

Phil Ware opens the New Testament and reminds of a great way to live out our mission while under social distancing, prayer because prayer has always been a virtual way of blessing others.

Even when confined to our houses and limited in our travels and frustrated with social distancing, we still have the incredible ability to pray for others.

Until Christ Is Formed in You

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins invite us to worship God and celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit as we are transformed to be more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are gathered to honor and praise God and to be reshaped by his Spirit so we can do the work of Jesus in the world.

Seed, Towel, Promise, & Torchlight: The Promise

Phil Ware continues his series on Seed, Towel, Promise, and Torchlight, focusing this week on the power of Jesus' promise in the face of his own impending death.

Jesus gave his promise to speak comfort and hope into this place of deep longing in their hearts

Peace Be with You!

ToGather worship segment 001, March 15, 2020 -- focusing on the presence of Jesus using VerseoftheDay.com, a communion devotional, and appropriately themed songs.

We are not the first generation of believers trying to find our way through challenging times, feeling alone, isolated from the crowds, and trying not to be fearful.

Leave, Go, and Bless

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of God's incredible journey of redemption and how Abraham was the one who began this journey demonstrating great faith when he followed God for a destination he did not yet know.

As Abraham showed us, God's greatest promises often come packaged as our greatest sacrifices, hardest challenges, and longest journeys.

Seed, Towel, Promise, and Torchlight: Intro

Phil Ware begins a four week series on seed, towel, promise, and torchlight as he looks at Jesus' last hours on earth and what they mean for us.

Yes, the seed is still enough of a mystery to keep me interested while I wait for the full blessing of its secrets to reach full bloom.

Self-Destructive Power in Building Monuments to Ourselves

Phil Ware and James Nored share through words, images, and video the story of the Tower of Babel and the self-destructive danger of pride and arrogance.

In absolute arrogance and stupidity, the people of the plains of Babylonia set out to make a name for themselves.

It All Hinges on This

Phil Ware helps us to better understand both Mark's message about where true life is found and also his outline and organization of his gospel around the hinges to the story provided by the stories of two blind men that Jesus heals.

How can we know if our lives make a difference and truly matter?

Grace for the Worst of Us... Even Me!

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that not only is God's grace available in his love and mercy but also that mercy and grace is available to all, even the worst of sinners, like you and me!

It took several years for him to dig out of the hole he made for himself with his lack of appreciation for grace and his own need of it.

Breathtaking!

Phil Ware reminds us of the divine titles for Jesus in Matthew 1 and then drives home the point that this divine Christ, Messiah, Son of God, Immanuel, God with us, came to us as the child, Jesus.

For God so loved us that he came to our world as a child.

The Expertise and Artistry of God's Grace

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that not only is God's grace available in his love and mercy, it is also beautiful in the artistic style he brings us this beauty!

Grace is the mercy and love of God freely shared with us. Grace is also the style, the way in which God shares this mercy and love

His Peace

Tom Norvell reminds us this Lord’s Day that Jesus came to give us peace and that peace is meant to be a blessing in the middle of the chaos and uncertainty we face in our world.

There have been many times in my life that I believed I would only find peace when...

Broken: But NOT Forever!

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that sin, both rebellion and missing God's goal of goodness for us, has reaped destruction on all we touch, but that this is not what God intended for us, there is redemption coming!

Why did this brokenness, this pain, this shattering, come upon us if it is not God's intention for us?

What Jesus Can't Do!

Phil Ware looks at Mark 6:1-6 and reminds us that this story is for us because we are Jesus' family, relatives, and hometown!

Why did Mark include it in his gospel? After all, his gospel is the shortest and most compact story of Jesus among the four gospels!

Where Are You?

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that sin, both rebellion and missing God's goal of goodness for us, has reaped destruction on all we touch.

Why are our relationships with God such a mess, with each other full of conflict, and with our world so destructive?

Words We Long to Hear

Phil Ware continues his series called Beyond Bread and Wine and focuses on the three sets of words we most long to hear.

What words do you most long to hear from Jesus today?

Wonderfully Created

James Nored and Phil Ware look at Genesis 1 and the Bible's story of Creation and remind us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

How are we to view ourselves and each other in this magnificent creation?

Will I Find God at the End of My Journey?

James Nored and Phil Ware combine their friendship, skills, and networks (Story of Redemption Films and Heartlight.org and VerseoftheDay.com) and bring us a weekly video and some interesting things to think about as we journey through life with Jesus!

Take five to ten minutes once each week to explore life by joining us for a series of short videos filmed in Israel, Europe, the U.S., and other places around the world.
