More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #29 -- Ephesians 1:15-23 (part 2) -- "God I need help...."
Ephesians 1:15-23 is a prayer for power, resurrection power that is available for us. Can I tell you why this is so important? It's so important because what we need we can't get on our own. Who we need to become we can't become on our own. We can't know God better...on our own. We need help. We can't find the hope we need in the midst of times that drain the encouragement out of our hearts. We can't make a difference that matters on our own. We need help. We can't experience the glorious riches of community on our own. We can't find a forever home without help. It's too hard. We can try but sooner or latter we'll mess it up, we'll fall short.
That's why I love this prayer, if God inspired Paul to ask for resurrection power, He must want to give us resurrection power. But it's a gift given only to those who recognize they need help. God we need your help!
