Open Hands Episode 2: Our Design

Today’s episode was inspired by the life of Bob Willis, a remarkable individual whose funeral was held last week in Nowata, OK. As Sean listened to his family described Bob, he saw a man who consistently showed Christ in his life. This episode talks about how we can live this life and allows for healthy self-examination for each of us.

In this super practical episode, Sean discusses how our habits and boundaries actually determine our impact in this life. Using the life of Jesus as an example, he shows that more is not always better.

In this episode, Sean takes a brief departure from our open hand series to talk about an important question that a friend asked him this week. “I know Jesus loves me but does he really like me?” enjoy this fascinating teaching around Jesus live and how he loves us all just the same.

In this episode, Sean talks about how we were designed. We were not designed for control or ego, or to rule the Earth in an evil way. We were not designed for our own personal benefit. And here’s the big clue… The best way to see our design is to study the life of Jesus.

In this episode, Sean starts a brand new series called Open Hands. This is a series on the power of biblical stewardship and our first episode is called “the owner’s world”. Our prayer is that Open Hands will make us all think about our role on this earth very differently, and inspire us to truly live in service to our Heavenly Father.

In this episode, Sean talks about the importance of perseverance and never giving up. The challenges and mundane portions of our life prepare us for the big breakthrough moments. Sean uses amazing Bible teachings to help us see how breakthrough is often on the other side of something really difficult.

In this next to last week of our misliving series, Sean talks about the power of our witness. Disciples naturally bring people to meet Jesus, but it’s not forced or weird or scary. It is natural. We are just telling what we have seen and inviting our friends to come and see what we have experienced.

As we continue our series on misliving, Sean discusses the power of simplicity. First, we take a look at the life of Jesus for the perfect model. And then we discussed three practices that can help us simplify our life and focus more on Him.

In this episode, Sean discusses the power of living with a servant’s heart. So many of us are for recognition or getting our name in the paper we making our boss happy. Jesus serve because he love people we serve because Jesus gave us the ultimate gift, his life.

In week 8 of our misliving series, Sean discusses the importance of service. Not just acts that everyone else can see, but a changed heart that wants to live like Jesus. He was the greatest servant to ever live and gave us the greatest gift ever given. If we can live that way, our lives will be filled with purpose and fulfillment.
