Acts: Lesson 1/Day 1

Acts: Seeds of the Gospel...a Dwelling Richly Bible study with Jennifer Richmond
Luke 24:13-53
Have you ever tried to write out the details of an important event? The romantic glow of your first date?  The story of how you met your best friend? Your dream vacation? It’s hard to capture the experience and do it justice, isn’t it? Now imagine Luke trying to relate the life of Christ, then going on to write an account of the explosion of the church from a nothing little spot in Jerusalem to the farthest regions of the entire Roman empire! John said it well in his gospel, “Now, there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” (John 21:25 ESV). As we close this first day, let’s pray that God would help us grasp the glory and power of the gospel and more so, that He would let that truth completely transform us in every corner of our lives – our marriages, friendships, families, jobs...our communities and beyond.
Like the gossamer fluff of a dandelion, the seeds of the Gospel were caught up in the wind of the Holy Spirit and the Good News was spread across the world. Our journey through Acts will bring us up close to this amazing account and inspire us to live boldly in Christ-like those early missionaries did.

Acts: Lesson 1/Introduction

Welcome back. Begin today’s lesson again with a deep breath. Just breathe, close your eyes, set your intention as you begin – that you will not just “do” your study to be done but that you would engage and enjoy and commune with God as you meditate through His words to you today.
“Acts: Seeds of the Gospel” is a 13-lesson study through the book of Acts written to give you focused time in the Word to rethink, renew, and rediscover the power of the good news – that Jesus Christ is the only hope for the world.
I know that if you will enter in to this study with an open and willing heart, and maybe just a little nudge to make some changes in your schedule, you’ll come away with a fresh perspective and tools to help you not only live a renewed and confident life – but a life that will in turn be a witness and encouragement to others.

Chill Bible Study: Lesson 2/Day 3

Chill Bible Study: Lesson 2/Day 3
Welcome back. Begin today’s lesson again with a deep breath. Just breathe, close your eyes, set your intention as you begin – that you will not just “do” your study to be done but that you would engage and enjoy and commune with God as you meditate through His words to you today.
“Chill” is a four-lesson study through Psalms written to give you 28 days of focused time in the Word to rethink, renew, and rediscover God’s plan for your restless heart. Each lesson is designed to focus on an aspect that will help us find our chill even when life won’t let us stop. In between each lesson we’ll have an encouraging teaching time with real women like you who are learning what it looks like to truly trust and rest in our wonderful God and Savior. We can be busy and still chill. We can be pushed to the limit...and still chill. We can rush, and plan, and do and go and still in the middle of it all find the rest and anchor in the God who created us for chilling.
 
We’ll use the word “chill” as an acronym to help us in five ways...
C – Come to Him...being willing to come to God in every circumstance
H – Hide in Him...let him envelop you even while you’re surrounded by hectic life
I – “I Am” – Know the God who made you
L – Let go – release your need for control and...
L – Let God – open your hands, your heart, your calendar and plans and let God work in every area of your life, heart, soul, mind and strength.
 
I know that if you will enter in to this study with an open and willing heart, and maybe just a little nudge to make some changes in your schedule, you’ll come away with a fresh perspective and tools to help you not only live a more calm, confident, and peaceful life – but a life that will in turn be a witness and encouragement to others.

Chill Bible Study: Lesson 2/Day 2

Chill Bible Study: Lesson 2/Day 2
Before you begin...breathe. That’s it, take a deep breath in – long and slow – and then let it out. Now do that again and as you do, set your mind on things above – God’s things.
Our focus in the Chill study is to rethink how we deal with stress and find true rest. This lesson we’ll look at how we can confidently hide in God. What imagery do you find in this Psalm that portrays this truth? Consider how David illustrates where, when, and why he can hide in God.
Take time today to meditate on Psalm 27...not just read it through...read and think and ponder and pause and pray --- and let the word dwell in you.

Chill-Psalm 34 Teaching with Monica Chavez

This Dwelling Richly study is called “Chill: Rethinking Stress and Rest.” Over the next few weeks we’ll be studying through four Psalms each one helping- us to CHILL – C-come to Him, H-Hide in Him, I for the “I am” knowing who God is, and double L – let go and let God.
Today we’re wrapping up Lesson One through Psalm 34. Monica Chavez will be teaching and sharing with us some helpful insights to this Psalm.
You know, the goal of “Chill” is to help us rethink stress and rest in our lives. In this Psalm 34 we’ve seen that our first priority in handling stress is to just come right to God. Trusting in who He has been and tasting and seeing - as David said - that He is good and He has our best in mind.
Enjoy this encouraging talk with Monica and at the end of the message be sure to leave a comment and share this podcast. Then come back tomorrow for the beginning of Lesson Two as we study through Psalm 27 and Chill together. Get the link to download the lesson pages in the show notes, or go to JenniferGRichmond.com
