Summary from October 30, 2022 –  The Father’s EmbraceIn this week’s gathering, Greg Aldrich discussed the Father’s Embrace of each of us, using Luke 15 as his text. The heart of the Father is exposed to and shared with us as we see how the Father treated his wayward son upon his return. The unconditional love of the Trinity is on display in this teaching. As we embrace the fact that we are loved unconditionally, so much opens up to us. 

Summary from October 23, 2022 –   Our Energetic and Dynamic Relationship With GodGod has created us to be in a dynamic relationship with the Trinity. In this week’s gathering we discuss this dynamic relationship, including how the uncreated energies of God fuel this dynamic interaction. We also discuss that we to can go out and dynamically interact with others, releasing energy toward them and into them to encourage, comfort, heal and edify. 

Summary from October 16, 2022 –  The Uncreated Energies of God Poured Into UsGod is an uncreated being. As a spirit being God’s uncreated energies are expressed in His thoughts towards His creation continuously. In regard to humanity, His uncreated energies are expressed toward and in us through His love and Grace. We then have the privilege to incorporate the uncreated energy received by us and express it creatively towards our world, ourselves, and others. In this way, we co-create with God and greatly impact our world. 

Summary from September 11, 2022 – Are My Thoughts Creating Life Or Creating Death.Proverbs 23:7 (TPT) tells us For as he thinks within himself, so is he. Our thoughts arise as we think. Science has demonstrated that thoughts have power. Scriptures confirm that our thoughts have power. So, just how powerful are our thoughts. Can we change our lives and situations by changing our thoughts to align with Trinity’s numerous thoughts about us. In this weeks gathering, we continue to explore the power of our thoughts. Are we using our thoughts to create life or death? Let’s explore together.

Summary from August 28, 2022 – Joy Is A State Of BeingScriptures tell us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. (Nehemiah 8:10). They also tell us in Romans 14:17 that Paul describes the kingdom as a present reality: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Joy is a present reality that we should experience and immerse ourselves in continuously. This teaching looks at the incredible benefits of joy as a state of being, not just an emotional experience.

Summary from August 21, 2022 – The Gifts of God, Including Salvation, Are Irrevocable. A look at Romans 11:29Frequently in Christian circles people are told that the gifts of God can be taken away. Often the Old Covenant verse Job 1:21 (The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away) is used to support this point of view. However, the Apostle Paul is clear in Romans 11:29 that the gifts from God are not revocable or conditional. In this weeks discussion we take a deeper look at the variety of gifts given by God and how you cannot cause them to be revoked. This concept includes salvation. Scripture assures us that we have been given by the Father to the Son, therefore you cannot lose your place in the heart of the Trinity.

Summary from August 14, 2022 – Do I Really Have to Diminish? A look at John 3:30Frequently in Christian circles people are told that they have to diminish, to become something less than who they truly are, so that Christ may increase. In this week’s gathering we discuss how the concept of diminishing in nature and function is an incorrect interpretation of John 3:30. John the Baptist was a representation of the law and therefore once Jesus arrived on the scene as grace and mercy, the law had to decrease or diminish in importance. This verse invites a change of perspective from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant.

Summary from July 31, 2022 – Prophecy From a Trinitarian PerspectiveThe Apostle Paul stated that he wished all would prophesy. Yet, the modern evangelical church has intentionally tried to minimize prophecy in the lives of people, depriving them of an aspect of love from God. In this week’s gathering we look at engaging in prophesy from the perspective of the Trinity. Prophecy must initiate and be delivered with the heart of loving Father. If correctly done much joy and peace can be imparted.

Summary from July 10, 2022 – The Beatitudes From an Aramaic PerspectiveIn this week’s gathering we continue to look at the first Beatitudes from an Aramaic perspective. Jesus spoke in Aramaic. Subsequent interpretations and translations have diminished the scope and strength of this teaching. The depth of truth as we look at this perspective is rich and rewarding.

Summary from June 19, 2022 - Exercise In Spirit AwarenessIn this weeks gathering we discussed how we are called to listen to and express the heart of the Father to others in our sphere of influence. To help us with this calling, we took time to listen to the Spirit and speak over every person present. When each person present listens and speaks, it paints a picture of the heart of God for individuals and for the community.

Summary from June 12, 2022 - You Are Qualified To Live A Kingdom LifeIn Colossians 1:12 the Apostle Paul tells us that the Father has qualified us to be participants in the inheritance of the saints. This qualification is not the result of anything we have done. It is the work of the Father. In this week’s discussion we look at the scope of this verse and its impact in our lives today. This verse clearly highlights the Grace of the Trinity extended to us.

Summary from 06-05-2022 – Romans 12:2 - A Look at Renewing Our Minds – Part 3Paul tells us in Romans 12:2 that the way to be transformed into a greater awareness and understanding of who we are, is to renew our minds. In this week’s gathering, we continue to discuss the need to be aware of the power of our subconscious minds and that we can in fact renew the mind using various methods or techniques. Reviewing Scripture is one way we can participate in renewing our mind. However as discussed in this week’s gathering, there are a number of possible ways to reprogram the subconscious and renew our minds.

Summary from 05-08-2022 – What happens upon our physical death?A few months ago, one of our group asked: “from a perspective of grace, what happens when we physically die”? This week we engaged in a spirited discussion of this question, realizing that the Scriptures do not give a definitive revelation upon which to form a conclusive decision as to every aspect of the question. This group discussion is informative and reassuring in many ways.
