Over the next several episodes, I want to talk about ten ways that will help you grow spiritually, deepen your intimacy with Jesus, and practically live the authentic Christian life.
In this first study of the series, we examine worship.
Many of us immediately think of "singing" when we hear the word "worship." But worship is far more than hymns and praisesâworship is a lifestyle that is based on beholding our God.
Throughout the episode, we examine how beholding and the idea of kissing create a foundation for our understanding of worship, and then talk about three aspects of worship if we want to grow spiritually: the lifestyle, the sacrifice, and the totality of worship.
Join Nathan in this exciting study as we explore how true worship can radically change our lives and press us all the deeper into Christ Jesus.

The little book of Ruth is one of my favorite books in the Old Testament. Though small, it packs a punch as it shares not only a beautiful romance, but more importantly, points to the ultimate romance of Christ and the Church.
Over the next eight weeks, I am teaching through Ruthâgiving insights into its historical and cultural context ⊠but also showing how it applies to our lives and points us to Jesus Christ and the Cross. I invite you to join me by listening to the Daily Thunder Podcast where the teachings will be released (or watch the videos here).

As a way to show tribute to Stephen Manley, a good friend and mentor of mine, I am playing a few of my all-time favorite sermons of his that have deeply impacted my life.
In this message, Stephen preaches from Acts 1:8 and discusses Jesus' answer to the disciple's unasked question. We have often called this "the blue sermon"âwhat does it mean for you to be "blue all over."

As a way to show tribute to Stephen Manley, a good friend and mentor of mine, I am playing a few of my all-time favorite sermons of his that have deeply impacted my life.
In this sermon from John 6, Stephen discusses the concept of obsession and what it means to be obsessed with Jesus. This is the heart of Christianity and what we all should be pressing toward in our own walks with Jesus Christ.

Stephen Manley is a dear friend, mentor, and someone who has had a profound impact on my life and spiritual growth.
I first met Stephen as a teenager when he came and preached at my church, later traveling with him as an intern for a summer, and then worked alongside him in ministry.
Stephen has recently been diagnosed with a severe brain cancer, and as Iâve reflected on his impact on my life over the past twenty years since I interned with him, I wanted to talk about three key things Stephen has taught me that has radically changed my life.

Throughout this series as we've examined the Hebrew concept of "hesed" (often translated as mercy, lovingkindness, or steadfast love), an unasked question confronts us personally: are we going to live a life of hesed?
If God defines a central aspect of His character and nature with hesed, and now He lives inside of us through His Spirit, shouldn't our lives showcase His hesed to our world?
In this episode, we talk about the reciprocity of hesed, the story of the Good Samaritan, and what it means for us to "live a life of lovingkindness."

The Hebrew concept of âhesedâ is found all throughout the life and ministry of Jesus. He told it in His parables and He lived it in all He did.
In this study, we examine the story of the âprodigal sonâ and discover that it really is a story of the âprodigal fatherââit is a beautiful picture of the mercy and lovingkindness of God.

Jesus is Yahweh in the flesh. And because Yahweh God describes Himself as "abounding in hesed (lovingkindness)" this means Jesus is hesed in the flesh! What an amazing reality!
In this episode, Nathan talks about how the Hebrew concept of "hesed" is seen in the New Testament (often translated as "mercy") and examines one specific story in the life of Jesus where He (the God of hesed) goes to the "House of Hesed" to give hesed to a man desperately needing it.

Is God's mercy, forgiveness, and lovingkindness only for a select few "special" people ⊠or is it available to everyone?
The book of Jonah gives us incredible insight into the heart of God for wicked people. God sends a messenger (Jonah) to the most wicked nation in human history with a message of repentance and judgment. And the moment the city of Nineveh repented, God showed mercy.
In this episode, Nathan takes the concept of hesed (mercy/lovingkindness/steadfast love) and shows how the entire book of Jonah revolves around this incredible theme. In so doing, we discover that God's mercy always triumphs over judgment, if we would but respond to His hesed.

While we are promised difficulty and trials in this life, as Christians we can stand firm upon the mercy, grace, supply, peace, joy, and life of Jesus Christ. Regardless of the season of life you may be in (good, bad, or ugly), we must remember that Godâs hesed (lovingkindness) is still available and surrounds us.
In this episode, Nathan talks about the tremendous reality that even for ancient Israel, Godâs hesed was celebrated in every season of lifeâthe good and the difficultâand when we truly understand the hesed of God, we too should cry out âYour hesed (lovingkindness, steadfast love, faithfulness, mercy), O God, endures forever!â

ï»żEvery nation has a national anthem that rallies the troops and reminds its people of their national identity. In ancient Israel, Godâs hesed (specifically Exodus 34:6â7) was the celebratory anthem that rallied the people, stirred unity, reminded them of their identity in Yahweh, and exalted His character and nature.
In this episode, Nathan continues his series on Godâs hesed (lovingkindness) and how the character of God should also be the anthem of our lives.

My favorite attribute of God's character and nature is that He abounds in steadfast love. This Hebrew word (hesed) is considered one of the most powerful and profound Hebrew terms, yet is also one of the most difficult words to translate into English.
In this episode, we examine God's hesed (His steadfast love / lovingkindness), and look at Exodus 34 where God reveals the heart and meaning of His name Yahweh ⊠which is seen in His abounding lovingkindness.

If we are going to understand the nature and character of God, we must understand the basis (foundation) upon which all His attributes are based upon.
In this episode, Nathan talks about God's immutability (God is always the same) and why this is such a profound and foundational concept for our lives and why we must view all of God's attributes in light of it.

Paul declares that regardless of the season of life you are in or what you may be facing, God's grace is not only amazing but sufficient for what you are facing.
He writes in 2 Corinthians 9:8, "And God is able to make every grace abound to you, so that in everything at every time having every sufficiency, you may have an abundance for every good deedâŠ"
Or as Peter writes in 2 Peter 1:3, you have everything you need for life and godliness in Christ Jesus.
In this episode, we talk about the amazing reality and sufficiency of God's grace in our lives.

Corrie ten Boom often said, "Beware the barrenness of a busy life." And if you've ever gone through a full season, you know the difficulty to be intentional in your spiritual life.
But what if every season of life was used to press you all the more to Christ Jesus. That every situation and circumstance would deepen your love, intimacy, and trust in Christ.â
In this episode, Nathan talks about what it means to allow Christ to crowd (press) us ever more unto Himself.

As Christians, we often wait to hear what God tells us to do through His Word, and then decide if we want to obey or not. Yet, we as believers, are called to have a pre-decided yes and have a readiness to respond to anything God asks us, no matter what it is or the cost and inconvenience to our lives.
In this episode, Nathan talks about the proper posture of our souls and a special Hebrew word that conveys our needed response to God.

All four Gospels declare the âgood newsâ of Jesus Christ, but Johnâs account (written years after the other three) is seemingly more personal, relational, and filled with the richness of intimacy.
In this episode, Nathan gives an overview and talks about the person, poetry, and passion of Johnâs Gospel.

The beauty of the Christian life is that we live in what scholars often call the ânow and not yet.â
In other words, while we have salvation and redemption NOW, there is also a waiting and longing for our future (completed) salvation and redemption.
Throughout Scripture, salvation is used in all three tenses: we were saved (past), are being saved (present), and will be saved (future).
In this episode, Nathan talks about the three tenses of our salvation and how we can find the beauty and profundity in our ânow and not yetâ lives.
