Welcome to Manna Church online! This weekend we have the privilege of tuning in to Manna Church in Fayetteville Fort Brag for their weekend service. Please enjoy worshiping with their team, and a special message from Retired Major General Kurt Fuller.
At Manna Church we do three things: Love God, Love Each Other, and Love the World. The way we live out these values on a consistent, transformative basis is by practicing nine healthy habits. It’s time for a health check.
Water Baptism is a beautiful demonstration of the gospel, an obvious expectation for all followers of Jesus, a radical amplification of a Christian’s commitment, and a powerful sign of liberation in the life of a believer.
It’s easy to tell what you’re invested in. Just follow the trail of your calendar, your check- list, and your checking account. Stewarding your time, talent and treasure for the Kingdom of God is where life is meant to be lived. It’s time to say, “I’m In.”
Your influence isn’t about your platform as much as it’s about the people already in your life. There are oikos opportunities all around you, and God has called you to be salt and light in this needy, hurting world. You’re influential... it’s time to say, “I’m In.”
Whether you realize it or not, you are an invaluable part of the Body of Christ. There are things that we can accomplish together, that cannot happen unless you do your part. Discovering your place within a local church is where purpose is born. You’re invaluable... it’s time to say, “I’m In.”
All great relationships start with an invitation. God is inviting each and every one of us into an all-satisfying relationship with Him, yet we need to properly respond to this invitation with humility and faith. You’re invited... it’s time to say, “I’m In.”
From death to life. Three eternally connected gardens. It was the passion displayed in the midst of one that provided the world-changing power to take place in another. Yet it all pointed back to the original garden where the initial promise was spoken.
Anger is an inevitable, necessary, and even holy emotion that can fuel righteous action. Yet anger can also lead to prison-like sinful patterns that are incredibly destructive. Let’s learn to harness our anger to defend what’s good and attack what’s evil.
In order to survive as a Hangry follower of Jesus, you’ve got to learn to Feed Your Hunger for God on a consistent basis. As we unpack the final chapter of Habakkuk, we’ll look at three practical ways to do just that: Prayer, Bible Study, and Worship.
If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely good, why is there evil and suffering in the world? This is one of the most practical, painful, and potentially problematic questions that every generation has asked about God. There are multiple options as answers, but only one brings hope.
Faith is for when you are frustrated. When your sight is spent, and what you see gives you no hope - that’s when faith is needed most. The Christian life is impossible without faith, and it’s still difficult with faith. Nevertheless, the righteous shall live by faith.
What do you do when you’re fed up with all the moral decline, political corruption, and media shenanigans of this world? As a Christian, how do you properly process these polarizing frustrations and confusions, while wondering if and when God will ‘get involved?’ This, in essence, is exactly what happened to a man named Habakkuk who was frustrated that the bad guys were winning while the “good” guys were weeping. He learned to live in the tension of Hangry: Hungry for God, and angry at the world.
God spoke the universe into existence, but when it comes to His prize possession of creation, He used His Hands. A work of art has value because of the signature on the work, and we are made in God’s Image. You are His masterpiece.
In this day in age, all of us have some tension around being known. Social Media, privacy, personality tests, DNA testing - they all play into our desire to be known at various levels. We all want to be known and accepted for our best, but fear being known and rejected for our worst. If God fully knows you, will you still be accepted, welcomed, celebrated and loved? The answer is YES!
It’s an amazing feeling (and reality!) to be fully known and fully loved. Whether you know it or not, believe it or not, receive it or not, you are fully known and fully loved by God. Not only that, but you are also: seen, ordained, and handmade.
Devotion to Christ is the place where the human heart is most satisfied. Disciples make space for Devotion. Consistent Devotions are the only way to maintain devotion. Devotions consist of a time and a place for Bible reading and Prayer.
Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort. A healthy prayer life begins with consecrating ourselves, wholly dedicating ourselves to be receptive to God’s will for our lives. Fasting is a great starting place for consecration to begin.
Sometimes it’s hard trust God in the silence, but His silence never equates to His absence. Persevering until there’s a breakthrough is often the point, while obeying the last directive until another is given. Welcome to the Danger Zone.
