A Neo-Monastic Life on Mission - Blessing
Description
In this sermon podcast from The Village Church in Tucson, Pastor Eric continues our series on a neo-monastic life on mission by exploring the theme of blessing. He highlights three ways blessing is expressed in both the Old and New Testaments, seeing people, knowing people, and calling people out. Drawing from Genesis 1, Genesis 12, and several New Testament stories, he unfolds how these ideas shape our relationships and concludes with practical ways to live them out.
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
