That You May Proclaim: Week Eight

Pastor Tim Walker

10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
1 Peter 2:10-12 ESV

Hosea 1:1-11 ESV

Hosea 2:1-23 ESV

Romans 6:1-23 ESV

Galatians 5:16-25 ESV

As we study together…

What does the passage say?

Key words/phrases?

Major theological terms?

Commands?

Promises?

Difficult words/phrases?

What does the passage mean?

Context? (never interpret less than a paragraph)

How would the original hearers receive this?

Key word definitions?

Parallel Biblical teachings?

Can you communicate the point of this passage in a simple phrase?

As we leave on mission…

What must I do in response?

How does this truth apply to my life?

Personally?

As the church?

In my community?

What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)

To whom will I be accountable?
(reach out and ask… follow up)

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.

This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

From Kristin:
I work with national partners all over the world, but am currently based in Arizona. While I’m based in AZ, I will Lord willing soon be traveling to visit national partners in the Middle East and Asia.

My calling is to use my gifts in Bible scholarship and my multicultural background to serve the global church, particularly for purposes of growing church unity, and helping the church to fulfill its peacemaking commission from Christ. My work is all about 1) bridging cultural gaps to deepen our understanding and love for God’s Word, and 2) breaking down dividing walls of hostility according to Eph. 2:11-22, so that we can be one even as Christ and the Father are one, and so that we can be a display of His glory to the world.

Right now, I’m working on my PhD in Bible and cross-cultural missiology, and have just begun to collaborate on a very exciting project with another organization based in AZ. This organization has an entire team of people who do exactly the kind of training and resource development work that I’m called to do, and I have the privilege of joining them on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, where we are using Ephesians 2 to develop resources made by and for the global church, to help Christians everywhere to address conflict and violence with the gospel, and to give us new tools for reaching our neighbors with Christ’s gospel of peace.

Prayer Requests:

• I praise God for the truly miraculous ways that He brought me in contact with The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and the many more-than-coincidental ways that He has provided for my financial needs, and for this project thus far.
• Please pray with me for God’s continued provision on The Ephesians 2 Gospel Project, and on my PhD work.
• Pray for the strength and wisdom necessary to do this work, that the attacks of the Enemy against us would be thwarted, and that financial provisions would continue to come in and increase.

To make a one-time gift to Kristin’s ministry, you may choose “Ministry of the Month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option or click here to give on our website.
