GO FORWARD CONFERENCE || DAY 19 (part b) || CONTINUING IN DOCTRINE AND BROTHERLY LOVE |CHIMDI OHAHUNA
Welcome to the final session of Go Forward Conference 2024, where we explore the depths of our faith and journey together in Christ. This episode is the zenith of our ongoing series themed "Possessing Our Possessions in Christ," inspired by the powerful directive found in Deuteronomy 2:24:
"Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thine hand, Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it and contend with him in battle."
In this episode, we deeply consider the significance of the phrase "rise ye up" and the Hebrew term "KUM," which means to "rise up." We examine this term's multifaceted meanings and implications and its call to action for believers.
Hebrew Insights: Unpacking the meanings and contextual usage of "KUM."
Spiritual Application: How we can apply this call to "rise up" in our daily lives and spiritual journeys.
Prayer: The importance of persistent prayer and its role in maintaining our spiritual well-being.
Watching: Staying vigilant and alert in our faith.
Thanksgiving: Cultivating a heart of gratitude and its transformative effects.
Doctrine: Understanding the importance of sound doctrine and continuous learning.
Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:14, "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned," we explore the necessity of adhering to sound teachings. Discover:
The Role of Doctrine: How instruction and teachings form the backbone of our faith.
Paul's Admonition: Why Paul urged Timothy to stay true to his teachings amidst false doctrines.
