Defeating Despair

You may have heard the saying, “It’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey”...or something along those lines. Although I agree with that, the reality is the journey can be tough! Sometimes it can feel like you’re on a detour to your destiny! And that can create opportunity for despair. God wants to teach you how to defeat despair in your life so your journey isn’t drudgery, it's an overall victory!

Promises For Those Who Love God

Andrew Hopkins

There are specific promises for specific people. Not everyone can claim Romans 8:28. All things don’t work together for good for everybody…only a certain kind of people: those that love God. If someone hates God and denies His ways, everything is not working together for their good! In fact, it’s the grace of God that things would not work out—so they could see the futility of a life without God. If you want to see certain promises of God come to pass and work in your life—be the kind of person it was promised to.

The Presence is a Higher Reality

Andrew Hopkins

From political chaos, cultural confusion, to exposure in the church—the world feels like it’s shaking on every level. The one thing that anchors you to peace in the midst of the storms is the Presence of God. His Presence is a higher reality; meaning, it’s a place where you aren’t clouded by the chaos of the world around you, you live above it.

From Ichabod to the Kabod

Andrew Hopkins

We need the manifest Presence of God.

God is omnipresent—everywhere at all times—but He is not always manifest present, meaning present in a felt, tangible way. It is His Presence and power that change our lives and satisfy our souls.

Without His Presence, we are mentored by a lower-level atmosphere, and we begin to come to conclusions that are unbiblical and unhelpful. This is why the Presence and power of God matter so deeply. Yes, we need the power of God to reach the world (Acts 1:8), but we also need the power of God to disciple the Church.

Recover the Reverence

Andrew Hopkins

Have we lost reverence for God in today’s churches?

When I traveled to Israel recently, the churches built on holy sites stirred something in me: an ancient value for reverencing the Lord. Their structures, art, and silence echoed holiness and majesty. While I’m not suggesting we copy every Orthodox or Catholic ritual, I do think they’ve preserved something many Protestant churches have set aside:

Reverence. Awe. The fear of the Lord.

Of course, some traditions can drift into legalism or distance from an intimate, loving God. But the danger on the other side is just as real: casualness that forgets His majesty.

How to be Fishers of Men

Andrew Hopkins

Jesus took fishermen and made them fishers of men. They caught fish for a living, and now they would catch men for God. What does that mean? They used to catch fish and turn them over to their consumer. Now they’re to catch men and turn them over to their Creator. In natural fishing, the fish are pulled out of life and brought into death (aka, someone’s meal). It’s the opposite in spiritual fishing: men are rescued from death and brought into life. This article will equip you for that ministry.
