Holy Spirit Outpouring by Deborah Brown

Generous One,
You lavish upon us a glorious inheritance
It flows from your abundant love

We are made rich in your great mercy and grace

Pour it out again and again and again
for the healing of the nations
Your spirit of unity
Your spirit of wisdom
Your spirit of revelation

Enlighten the eyes of every heart
with your hope and your power
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead

Pour it out again and again and again for the healing of the nations

This prayer was born from the Ephesians Reading Challenge. Click Here for more information on the challenge to read and reflect on the entire book of Ephesians 3 times in 3 weeks.

The Ephesians Reading Challenge accompanied a sermon series entitled Sit Walk Stand which was inspired by Watchman Nee‘s book Sit Walk Stand, a study of Ephesians. You will find recordings and notes from this series on the blog as well.

Jacob Sermon Series

Sermon Series – Jacob, Punk to Patriarch
Jacob’s journey to faith and accepting his place in God’s plan is full of schemes, betrayal, and family dysfunction. Yet, in the midst of the mess, God remains steadfast- offering relationship, provision, purpose, and new life. In Jacob’s story, we see our own mess and God’s saving grace for us as well.

Message: Claiming our Birthright
Scriptures: Genesis 25:19-34; Romans 8:12-17
Offered 8/28/16 at Trinity United Methodist Church, Sarasota Florida

Jacob is a schemer, an exploiter. He knows exactly how to manipulate Esau in order to get what he wants. He’s stirring up trouble. Cooking up a plan. He’s cut throat. He’s willing to take advantage of anybody to get what he wants, including his twin brother.

Esau is impulsive. He’s short sighted, reactionary, and quite the drama queen. He’s all about instant gratification. He’s gotta have it now. He makes the trade, eats, drinks, gets up, and leaves. Does he even consider the consequences of his choices? Does he even give them a second thought? He’s given up a superior inheritance for a bowl of beans. He’s despised his birthright for a full belly. It’s such a big deal, his descendants aren’t named after him (Esauites), they’re named after the stew, the red stuff, Edomites.

Through Christ, we are offered a beautiful, powerful, everlasting birthright. Beware trading your birthright for something fleeting. Claim your superior inheritance in Christ Jesus.
