Yeshua is the way, the truth and the life. Yeshua did not come to institute a new religion. Instead, He came with and as the revelation of Abba, reconciling humanity back to Abba and teaching us the way of Abba. Yeshua’s first followers and the early church were simply described as followers of the Way. We are returning to and remaining in the simple gospel that the early apostolic church lived in and lived out. Scripture: Luke 4:16-22 Luke 10:38-42 Luke 17:20-21 Luke 24:46-48 John 1:1-18 John 13:34-35 John 15:1-9 John 17:20-26 Romans 2:4 Romans 8:12-17 Revelation 22

In light of being reconciled to the Father, the bride of Christ joins the Bridegroom in becoming His resting place in the earth. We are returning to the apostolic heritage of the early church and stewarding an environment that is Presence centered, identity forming and service oriented. Scripture: Ephesians 2:19-22

It is time to trade your expectations in for His perspective of you. His ways are higher than ours. The priest in you and wild child in you that does not know fear is hungry to follow Abba into the unknown. Why would we settle for the diet of Egypt when manna and the heavenly city awaits us? Where are the ones like Joshua and Caleb who have a different spirit in them and who will follow Him fully? Scripture: Numbers 9:15-23 Numbers 10:11-13 Numbers 12:1-10 Numbers 13:17-28 Numbers 13:30-33 Numbers 14:1-10

What if the Father would like to blind us with His glory? What if our horses and scales are to be dismounted and removed? What if rest and confidence is our inheritance as we abide in the One who rode a donkey into the real war that He won over darkness? Scripture: Numbers 6:24-26 Isaiah 30 Isaiah 60 John 1:1-5 Acts 9:1-18

Yahweh is forming and birthing communities who live in the Isaiah 60 posture. A posture that submits to His light shining over them until the nations flock to it. We are longing like Abraham for that city which has foundations, Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels. Receive the grace to become His resting place. (Renewal Weekend, Saturday AM) Scripture: Isaiah 60 Hebrews 11:8-10 Hebrews 12:22-29 Revelation 21:9-27
