\"bible\"<\/a>God desires us to walk with Him and have a relationship with Him.\u00a0 God has given us the gift of Salvation but salvation is the starting point not the finish line.\u00a0 The church\u2019s 5K had a start line, no one (I wanted to) took one step off the start line and said praise God I did this 5K.\u00a0 No we all progressed to the finish line enduring the hills and heat.\u00a0 It was awesome to have people cheering, directing us, and encouraging us as we were hydrated and instructed on how much further to go.\u00a0 Jesus wants us to journey with Him not just \u201caccept salvation\u201d.\u00a0 The church must encourage and cheer one another on as we continue to instruct one another on the way we must live for Christ.<\/p>\n

Jesus feeds thousands again with seven loaves and a few fish.\u00a0 Later Jesus was teaching about the \u201cleaven\u201d meaning the teaching of the Pharisees.\u00a0 They thought Jesus was upset that they did not pack lunch!\u00a0 Jesus does not need to PACK A LUNCH!\u00a0 He created everything with a spoken word; do you not understand the wonderful relationship God calls us to?\u00a0 Just surrender what you have and what you have will be enough as God uses your gift and multiplies the resources for His glory.\u00a0 We always start out by giving out of what we have.<\/p>\n

Jesus told the disciples they don\u2019t understand; Lord Help us to understand.\u00a0 Jesus called Peter Satan; Lord Help us not to be about our ways (Satan\u2019s), but about your ways.<\/p>\n

Continue to get in the Word and allow your life to be surrendered to His Word and watch the power of God work as everything you have is enough for God to do great and wonderful things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2433"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2434,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2433\/revisions\/2434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
