Wake Before the Day

John 12 begins by comparing and contrasting two very polarizing characters - Mary and Judas. The point behind the comparison is to get us to check our motivation, why do we do what we do? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In episode #117 we are reminded that while Jesus was God he was also very human. He had friends whom he loved. When Lazarus died we got a glimpse of Jesus' humanity, he wept with his friends. This gives us a powerful image of what it looks like to be dead in sin and then alive in Christ! We also see how Jesus ministers to Mary and Martha in vastly different ways, what do we have to learn from...

Let's discuss Jesus being the Champion of Heaven, our Shepherd, and the importance of avoiding false teaching. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Lord, help us to: I.D. our blind spots, fear you more than others and be open to joining you in your work around us @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

John tells a powerful story of Jesus positioning himself between the Law and the sinner as well as disputes about Jesus and his ministry! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

John 7 gives us another glimpse into how Jesus handles fame and worldly power. He's not interested in the kind of fame the disciples are, he desires a fruitful ministry with followers who genuinely long for the kingdom of heaven to come to earth.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

When it comes to joining God in his work we often hesitate by asking questions like, "How is this going to happen?" or "Am I qualified for this?" or "What if I don't have the right answers?" In the "Feeding of the 5,000", Jesus invited the disciples to join him and like us they doubted and asked a lot of questions! The reality is that Jesus had already...

If Jesus asked you, "What would you like me to do for you?" How would you respond? We also unpack Jesus's bold statement to the religious leaders where they are looking to the scriptures for eternal life, not God himself. There are times we read the Bible and wonder, "is this working?" If you've been there you are not alone, let's discuss! @klarckorver @bobbiekor...

Join us as we study John 4. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God calls those who have been born again to be children of light, accepting the beauty and mysterious work of the Holy Spirit @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Why was Jesus' first sign making wine at a wedding and not resurrecting the dead or kicking demons out ? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

John wants us to know that Jesus is God, he alone is to be worshiped and he wants a relationship with you!   @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Revelation concludes giving us hope for our future life, a sense of empowerment to live for Jesus today and a warning not to change or take God's word out of context.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God desires to be with you! From Eden, to the the Temple, then Jesus himself and now the Spirit in the believer's heart, God is with us. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Celebrate the final judgement of Satan and evil. The scriptures are also fulfilled and humanity reigns, rules and judges with God and under the authority of God. What God intended in Eden is now complete in the final judgment.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The final judgment is going to be a site to see and definitely something to be revered as well as celebrated! We're reminded that Jesus' victory should bring up nothing short of our best praise and worship. We also wonder what our "new names" will be? Join us as we unpack an exciting chapter! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

How do we avoid the worldly entrapment of comfort, wealth and consumption? Feasting and fasting with the Lord. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Revelation 17 uses "Babylon" to describe the immoral and idolatrous ways of the world. Babylon still exists today. The questions we must ask ourselves are what seductive pleasures and idolatry tempt us today? What's our plan to sift through the spiritual confusion of our day and age? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Final judgments and songs of victory! Remember, the worship of God brings clarity in an age of confusion. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The standard for life and salvation is simply whether or not one believes in Jesus Christ. Join us as we identify "who is who" in this story and what the implications are for us today. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Humanity forfeited the keys to rule over the earth in Genesis 3. Although already defeated, Satan still seeks God's power and wants to harm God's people. This is a reminder to renew your mind with God's word and stand firm in the victory of Jesus on the cross. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Revelation 12 is wild ride talking about a pregnant woman being hunted by a dragon and a war in heaven! Join us as we discuss the interaction between the natural world and the supernatural world. We'll also discuss how the church is to live in the reality of Jesus' victory which is now ours too! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The Spirit empowers the believer to share Jesus even to death. What kind of witness are you willing to be? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God's word has more power and authority that all of our words combined! If we want to truly speak blessing we need to pass on God's word. In order to pass on His word we need to have God's word inside us. We can't give what we ain't got! Join us as we unpack Revelation 10 @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Believers are called to endure because God is holding back his judgment. He wants more people to believe! Who can we share Jesus with today? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la
