In this episode, the Elders of Grace Church answer questions submitted by young adults about ministry and mentorship. We pray this discussion richly blesses you in a practical way and equips you to fulfill the calling God has called you to in His body!

“God will provide!” It’s a statement that you have probably heard and may know to be true. However, sometimes we feel as if it’s not the truth, that God doesn't see our need or is deliberately delaying the blessing. The bible overwhelmingly tells us that God is a provider (Jehovah Jireh), and that He is quick to bless. Because of this, it is crucial that we as His people must understand the nature of His giving. How God gives is directly tied to who He is and what He is like. What are the principles of God’s provision, and how can understanding these principles help us to not only see how God gives, but help us to receive from Him better?

In this episode, Keith teaches us very practical and fundamental ways to study our Bibles so that we can have a sharper understanding of who Jesus is, as well as to be equipped to walk out the good works that God has prepared for us! We pray this teaching richly blesses you and pushes you closer to Jesus!

If God is always at work in your life, we can expect the enemy to be at work as well. While he was tirelessly trying to complete the work God called him to finish, Nehemiah faced three enemies that attempted to delay, derail, and destroy this work. These three enemies are the same enemies that we face on a day to day basis as we walk with Jesus and lean into the things God calls us to step into and finish. What are these enemies, and how do we respond to them?

God is always wanting to speak to us. However, we are not always listening. The bible says that God is spirit (John 4:24), and that He is so grand even the highest heaven cannot contain Him (1 Kings 8:27). He is also the Creator of all known and unknown things. He always was, is, and always will be. This is His nature, and because God is all of these things and we are not, how then can finite ears hear infinite words? How can we really and truly hear from God? How can we discern whether what we are hearing is from God or our own imaginations? Does God use our imaginations to speak to us? How does God speak, and how can we listen rightly?

God is always speaking, but we are not always listening. We may be putting in effort to hear, but are we truly and honestly listening to the voice of the good Shepherd? In this episode, Ben teaches out of 1 Samuel, showing us what listening to God's voice looks like and how we can hear Him more clearly. We pray this message richly blesses you and pushes you closer to Jesus!

Standing proud before the veil in Moses’ Tabernacle was the Altar of Incense. For the Old Testament Priests, this altar was an image of continual and fervent prayer to God. Just as the fragrant incense ascended up towards where God is, so do our prayers. Today, this imagery symbolizes Christ interceding for us before the presence of the Father. Not only that, however, it is also a picture of the fragrant aroma that we, as followers of Jesus, carry as He sends us out in the world to preach the gospel of His kingdom and make disciples of Him. What does God “smell" like, and do you carry His aroma so that others around you may benefit from it?

Put yourself in the shoes of an Old Testament Levitical High Priest. The day is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It's the day all of Israel makes the necessary sacrifices and festivities to ponder about and receive forgiveness from God, who has rescued you from slavery and is promising you a land to call your own. Upon donning yourself with your priestly garments, you approach the gates of the Tabernacle with the animals that you must sacrifice on the altar. The blood shed is finished and you make your way to the laver to wash yourself of the stains. With fear and trembling, you then turn toward the tent of meeting. You take a deep breath as everyone behind you watches you stand before its entrance. You step in…
