Maybe You ARE a Spiritual Gift
<p>When Christians talk about “spiritual gifts,” we’re usually talking about special abilities given to us by the indwelling, empowering Holy Spirit. But what if the real point isn’t the gifting you get to experience but the way other people get to experience a gifted YOU? In other words, <strong>maybe you ARE the spiritual gift.</strong></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

How to Have Complete Joy
<p>Is it possible to have “complete joy” in our lives? Yes, but only when we understand what complete joy looks like from God’s perspective and how he has made it possible for us to experience it.</p><blockquote><b>John 15:9-17 NRSV</b>[9] As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. [10] If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. [11] I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. [12] “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. [13] No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. [14] You are my friends if you do what I command you. [15] I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. [16] You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. [17] I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.</blockquote><p>That word “complete” can leave us feeling so needful of so many things.</p><p>Back during the holidays, my wife was having a conversation with someone from a completely different culture and it was right before Black Friday. She asked, “Anything you’re hoping to buy on Black Friday?” And his response, with great kindness and through a smile was, “Oh, we need nothing.”</p><p>And he meant it. And his response has challenged us again and again to need nothing upon this earth except the things that really matter – relationships.</p><p>We have to first understand that the biblical idea of “joy” is never dependent upon:</p><ul><li>Our circumstances</li><li>Our emotions</li></ul><p>So I want to redefine “complete joy” NOT as only having joy and never having pain or grief or suffering but rather, joy and peace in the middle of life’s pain, grief, and suffering. In spite of the hard parts of life, real joy is possible.</p><p><b>“Complete joy” is within reach when you…</b></p><p><b>1. Trust that you are completely loved.</b></p><p>(vs. 9-11)</p><p>KNOW that you are wholly known, loved, and valued.</p><p>This is not the same as <em>feeling lovable</em>. This is a matter of accepting, by faith, that God loves you because he is love and because he created you to be an object of his forever love.</p><p><b>2. Transfer your love to other people.</b></p><p>(vs. 12-13)</p><ul><li>It’s a matter of focus. Others instead of myself.</li></ul><p>The more I focus on myself, my wants, my needs, my shortcomings, the more needy I feel for things and life and other people to prop me up.</p><p>But the more I focus on my life on other people, the better off I am.</p><ul><li>It’s a matter of obedience to God.</li></ul><p>We often think of obedience to God as a simple matter of obeying God’s rules so God doesn’t “get” us in a disciplinary way. But what if we substituted another word.</p><p>What if we looked at obedience to God as alignment with God’s will?</p><ul><li>It’s a matter of attunement with God and with others.</li></ul><p><b>3. Value your friendship with Jesus.</b></p><p>(vs. 14-15)</p><p>Jesus is willing to call us his friends. Not mere acquaintances. Not merely disciples or followers, but friends. He is forever personal.</p><p>Do you know what fridge friends are? They’re the people who feel so comfortable with you that they can come into your house, open your fridge, and grab a snack.</p><p>Jesus is even more than a fridge friend. He’s so intimately involved with who we are that he remains close even when we </p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://brandonacox.ck.page/products/walkhumble">Support the Show.</a></p><p>Connect, read more, listen in, give feedback, or partner to support this podcast at <a href='https://walkhumble.com'>WalkHumble.com</a>.</p>

When You're Doubting God Because of Pain
<p>In the chronicles of Jesus' first advent are tucked two stories of angelic visits that have similar overtones but completely different results. Both stories are found in the first chapter of Luke, and both involve an angel named Gabriel delivering messages of miraculous occurrences to two separate people.<br/><br/>First, of the priest named Zechariah, Luke tells us (in Luke 1:5-20) that Gabriel broke the news to the aged priest that he and his wife, Elizabeth, would have a son in spite of being in their older years, and that they were to name him John. John's assignment would be to prepare the way for the long-awaited Jewish Messiah.<br/><br/>Zechariah's response is a simple and completely understandable question: <br/><br/>How?<br/><br/>In Luke 1:26-38, Gabriel visits Mary to announce that she, a virgin, would conceive and bear a son. Her response to Gabriel, in a nutshell, is: <br/><br/>How?<br/><br/>Two people, visited separately by the same angel, offering the same question in response to the prophecy of the miraculous: How?<br/><br/>But Gabriel's response to each of them is quite different.<br/><br/>What if Gabriel silenced Zechariah not as some kind of punishment, but because that was the most compassionate way to respond to Zechariah in this season of his life?<br/><br/>Zechariah's story reminds me that <b>God is incredibly patient</b>!</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://brandonacox.ck.page/products/walkhumble">Support the Show.</a></p><p>Connect, read more, listen in, give feedback, or partner to support this podcast at <a href='https://walkhumble.com'>WalkHumble.com</a>.</p>
