CONTEXT…

8. HOW OFTEN ARE YOU JUST PRESENT WITH
GOD?

9. IN THE DIGITAL AGE ARE WE PRESENT TO GOD.
ARE WE INTENTIONALLY WITH CONNECTING WITH GOD
ARE WE FREE?

10. IN THE AGE OF DISCONTENT AND DISGRUNTLED OPINIONS
ARE WE FREE?

11. IN THE AGE OF BEING STUCK BETWEEN THE TRAUMA OF THE PAST AND
THE ANXIETY OF THE FUTURE…
ARE WE FREE?

12. HEBREWS 4:16
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so
that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our
time of need.

After he had

LUKE 22:41
HE WITHDREW FROM THEM ABOUT A STONES THROW AND KNELT DOWN AND PRAYED
“FATHER IF YOU ARE WILLING, TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME; YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE.”
AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN APPEARED TO HIM AND STRENGHTENED HIM.
AND BEING IN ANGUISH, HE PRAYED MORE EARNESTLY, AND HIS SWEAT WAS LIKE DROPS OF
BLOOD FALLING TO THE GROUND.

20. “THE SHEMA”
37
Jesus replied:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your mind.’[c]
38
This is the first and
greatest commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your
neighbor as yourself.’[d]
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments.”
