HOW GOD SPEAKS – God Speaks to His People (YOU-Fall’26, Study 1, Session 1)
2h ago · 24:49
Relationships require effort and the people involved must agree to communicate regularly. The same conditions are needed for a good company to thrive, for a church to prosper, and for married couples to be joyful. But these conditions do not just appear out of thin air. Someone must take the initiative and vulnerably communicate, hoping their efforts are reciprocated. I find myself doing this every time I visit a new church or get invited to a social event. God always takes the initiative and does this for our benefit. He is not distant. He desires to bring us closer to Himself.” In my younger

When an epidemic hit the Roman Empire around 260 AD, it was horribly bad. The only thing people could do to avoid getting sick and dying was to run away, literally. Dionysius, a third-century bishop, wrote this about “the heathen,” “At the first onset of the disease, they pushed the sufferers away and fled from their dearest, throwing them into the roads before they were dead and treated unburied corpses as dirt, hoping thereby to avert the spread and contagion of the fatal disease,” Christians, on the other hand, took a wholly different approach, Dionysius wrote, “Most of our brother Christia

We like the image of the rugged individual. The guy who stands on his own two feet, The woman who built a successful business by working hard and persevering, It’s what many believe made our country great, right? We love the stories of those who found opportunity and blazed their own trails: Daniel Boone, George Washington Carver, Amelia Earhart, Kehinde Wiley, and Dr. Mae Jemison. These individuals inspire us because they show what willpower and courage can accomplish. Herbert Hoover coined the term “the rugged individual” during his 1928 presidential campaign, encouraging Americans to embrac

In February 2015, a user from Tumblr, a social media platform, posted a photo of a dress with the question: “What colors do you see?” The image went viral as people perceived different colors; some saw blue and black, while others saw white and gold, I remember seeing a blurry white color, Within hours, family, coworkers, and friends were arguing over the color of the dress, Over 11 million tweets in 24 hours surrounding the hashtag #TheDress generated many heated discussions. There is a scientific explanation that a person’s brain interprets ambiguous lighting differently based on individual

When you are proud of your work, you want the whole world to see and know it. That’s how one employee of the Pinakothek der Moderne felt, The Pinakothek der Moderne is an art museum built by Stephan Braunfels in Munich, Germany, with approximately 20,000 art pieces, It is one of the world’s leading institutions for painting, sculpture, photography, and new media, But one employee thought something was missing. Despite being surrounded by works from Picasso, Magritte, and Dalí, this 51-year-old freelance artist believed the museum needed something else-his own painting, Surely, as people stared

Imagine a movie director working with actors, producers, and crew members to create an epic movie. Each individual has a specific role, but they all contribute toward making the movie a success, However, what would happen if an actor began to take credit for the director’s vision, or a producer tried to outshine the hard work of the crew? Each member of the team would be confused and upset if one person wanted all the glory for the successful film, in contrast to if each team member performed to benefit the greater storyline, simply fulfilling their role without seeking personal glory, Followe

Wi-Fi and the internet have made it easy for us to be smart. Long gone are the days when a dinner conversation included a question, such as “Where exactly is Belize?” or “What was that guy’s name in that movie?” and we would just stare at each other in ignorance. Now our smartphones can give us an answer quicker than we can finish dessert and set down the fork. But that does not mean we are any wiser. Despite our heads being full of information, we still come to our own conclusions based on what we see and experience. For example, one in four Americans believes the sun revolves around the Eart

How is your gym membership going? Over 72 million Americans have gym memberships yet 67 percent of those gym memberships are never used. However, imagine someone who not only pays for a membership but also uses it by showing up consistently to exercise. Over time, they lose weight, have more energy, greater strength, and improved health, demonstrating the benefits of regular gym attendance. Taking advantage of what the gym has to offer, its equipment and personal trainers have made a difference in their lives. In fact, the gym community of workout partners, the friendly encouragement from othe

Many of us have portable phone chargers and don’t leave home without them! We charge the chargers at home so that they can be used to charge our phones while we’re out and about and unable to access a wall outlet. The chargers, having been charged up themselves, have power to pass on to our phones when they need it. In other words, the chargers, along with the cords become conduits of the power needed by devices lacking it. We are conduits of the grace of God. We are meant to have God’s grace flow through us to other people who desperately need it.” As helpful as phone chargers are, they are n

On December 23, 2001, during a UCLA college basketball game, UCLA’s “Mistletoe Cam” zoomed in on a young couple seated in the stands. As in-game entertainment, the Mistletoe Cam put couples on the screen and prompted a mistletoe kiss. This young man had more in mind than a kiss. With all the fans in the stadium watching on the big screen, he pulled a ring from his pocket and asked his girlfriend to marry him. When the fans understood what was happening, they began to cheer, but there was an awkward silence from the girlfriend. After asking, “Are you kidding?” she abruptly stood up and walked a
