When we see God moving do we passively sit & wait, or do we step out in risky faith? How do we become strategic faith planners who act when we see God moving around us? 

The Book of Ruth is a great love story of faith by a woman who belonged before she believed. Let's look how her faith was rich strong & aromatic; a model even though her ancestry didn’t fit the part of Jewish culture of the day. 

Jason is enjoying a much deserved vacation this week, so we welcome Craig Simonian, Jason's longtime friend, and Pastor of Vineyard of Morris Plains (NJ).  Craig challenged us to be the light of God's love in our community and in our world, especially in response to the darkness that seems so present recently He used Revelation 5 as a reminder that though we may not feel worthy to shine our light and share our God, Jesus is worthy and is walking out this life alongside us.

It would’ve been nice to end Nehemiah on Chapter 12, since chapter 13 reveals a reversion to old ways once again with which Nehemiah must deal strongly. In this chapter we learn we need to be uncompromising in areas of purity & faith. Our personal walk affects others. Our corporate walk must be guarded. We need to exercise our spiritual muscles; stay in the Word, in community & listen the Holy Spirit. And finally we need to pursue humility & faithfulness in our work for the Lord both corporately & individually. Come explore with us this final chapter of a great book.
