Message Notes Close encounters with God provide the opportunity: To respond in obedience.  To glorify and praise God. To proclaim the character of God. “And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,” Luke 1:46-47 NIV Send questions to email@redeemermn.org Scripture Matthew 22:36-40, Luke 1 Support the show

 Message Notes Needing to be right breaks relationships. What if God isn’t looking for you to pray in the right way, but to pray in a real way? Sometimes needing to be right looks like being a know-it-all; other times it looks like never inviting God to speak into your life. Real is where relationship grows. Real is where God’s transformational work really happens. Send questions to email@redeemer...

Message Notes The difference between being a person in progress and lowering the bar: - Person in progress = being imperfect, but letting God work in you. - Lowering the bar = being imperfect, but actively refusing to let God work in you. Jesus doesn’t lower the bar for you; he invites you to elevate the room. Become the inspiration someone needs to trust God more fully. Send questions to email@re...

Message Notes Following Jesus is not a striving for perfection, but a journey of progression. Stop letting the judgement of people effect the journey God has called you to. Your imperfection doesn’t negate the progress God is working in your life. Send questions to email@redeemermn.org Scripture Colossians 2 Support the show

Message Notes Jesus is what God looks like when he becomes visible. When we don’t know what to call that which is divine, we give it the generic label of ‘God’. Only one name personifies and makes visible the fullness of God – Jesus. Jesus is not generic, he’s personal, which means you can get to know him.
