BONUS: How do we test the spirits?

We’ve prepared a bonus episode for you featuring a sermon Lionshare’s founder and president Dave Buehring gave last month at Grace Chapel Fairview. He spoke on 1 John chapter 4. In verse 1 it says “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” What does it mean to test the spirits? Dave shares three questions we can ask to discern whether teachings and teachers are true and he challenges us to test ourselves as well.

How Do I Try to Live and Work at Jesus’ Pace?

 
During the last episode, we learned that Jesus paced Himself. He was surrounded by needs but he wasn’t driven by them.   He obeyed only what God the Father showed Him to do.  He rested with His friends and was restored through life-giving relationships. How do we break from our frenetic pace?  Listen to three guests from three walks of life who share small steps they have taken to follow Jesus’ pace.​

Jesus Paced Himself. Do You?

We are six months into the year. For most of us, those resolutions we made at the beginning of the year and some of the lessons we learned during the worst of the pandemic are in the rearview mirror. We’re back to being overly busy.  Can Jesus relate? He spent a short time on Earth.  He had a lot to do.  He was surrounded by need but, He was never in a hurry and always on time.  What can we learn from Jesus and can we do the same?

The first step is to know what tactics he likes to use.  The second is to realize which ones work the best against you.

Spiritual Warfare & Work

The words “spiritual warfare” can promote a visceral reaction.  Some Christians don’t want to talk about it all.  Some Christians talk about it too much.  And most of us haven’t thought about in the context of work.  But think about it: taking something that doesn’t belong to me; saying something unkind and untrue about someone so I am the one promoted; undermining my boss out of spite for not giving me the raise I deserve. These represent a handful of the kinds of temptations that face us at work, and the enemy of our soul wants us to make bad choices.  So what can we do?

Don’t Despise Your Singleness

The word “single” seems altogether different than the word “individual.”  Individuality and individual rights and freedoms sound strong.  “Single” can feel incomplete, even among single Christians who sometimes feel overlooked by the church because of its emphasis on family, children and marriage.  What are the ways of God when it comes to singleness?
