A Life of Resurrection
I love our Teaching & Worship Experience and how it brings us together each week, either through our live study, streaming/community groups or here on the blog. So today I wanted to share with you some of my notes from this week’s lesson. This week, we looked at Ephesians 2:1-10. In this text, Paul’s letter […]
Who Am I?
Happy Monday and thanks for joining our band of Making Space for God friends. I told someone yesterday that we need to do this together. Paul describes in his letter to the Ephesians, that we are a community bound together in our love for Jesus. We are on this spiritual journey of deepening our faith […]
A Life of Prayer
Today in our study of Ephesians, we looked at Ephesians 1 15:23. As you know, I share notes from my teachings here on the blog. In this lesson, as we look at Paul’s prayer, we see: He goes directly to God in prayer. There is no go-between He prays for wisdom and revelation and hearts […]

As you know, I like to share my notes from my teaching on […]

Joshua’s Faithful Response
Earlier this week on the blog, I proposed that, as a Drawing Near to God community, we resolve to Listen More in 2018 – listen to God, that is. We live in a noisy world so we must be intentional in order to listen to what God is saying. This year, my family and I (10 […]
Listen More
Happy New Year (and Making Space for God Monday)! As we start the New Year, I’d like to propose that, as a Drawing Near to God community, we make a resolution to listen more – to listen to God’s voice and to each other. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with […]
