JOHN MARK COMER TEACHINGSHOSTED BYPRACTICING THE WAY
The teachings of Jesus lead us to a better, fuller life. This was true in the ancient world where Jesus first taught, and it’s still true today. But what does it mean to actually practice the way of Jesus in today’s complex, secular world? In this podcast by Practicing the Way, John Mark Comer responds to that important question through his teachings at Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. Join us as John Mark provides practical insight on how you can be with Jesus, become like Him and do what He did wherever you are today.
Welcome to the John Matt Comer teachings podcast. I'm Strawn Coleman, your host, and part of the teaching team here at practicing the way. Each week here on the show, we share a teaching from John Mark or other trusted voices in the formation space. Today, we're continuing our series in partnership with Bridgestown Church on 9 practices for a rule of life. In this teaching, Tyler Staten is joined by Tim Mackie, co founder and teacher of the Bible Project as they explore the practice of scripture. If you're someone who struggles to read and reckon with scripture and all its complexity and challenge, this teaching is for you. As you listen, why not consider the question? What are my biggest challenges with the Bible? Here's Tim and Tyler. Psalm 1, verse 1 through 3. Bless is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked. Or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers, but as delight is in the law of the lord, And on his law, he meditates day night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season. And whose leaf does not wither whatever he does, prospers. This is the word of the lord. A man. So, lord, we ask that you would take this picture that is painted in your word and that you would bring it to life in us. I pray that, the reflections that we offer on this beautiful Psalm would be like seeds planted in the inner lives of all of those who have gathered here.
