Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.

 This time of year is a reminder to run and accelerate. And it's also a reminder that God put treasure within us. 

What did he put within us:

• The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
• Christ is in you, the hope of glory.
• All of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ, and he is in you.
• Everything we need for life and godliness is within us. 

Here is our filter for this week... What's Within You.

I am praying for you.

God has a lot of names... He is healer, provider, the all sufficient one, the God of all grace, hope, comfort, wisdom, our banner, love, light, and much more. The other night I was thinking about all of God's names, and I asked him what his favorite name is of all his names. 

The answer I felt like came through was... I AM. 

And when I asked why, the response was because I AM your healer, I AM your provider, I AM your banner, I AM the God of all comfort, hope, grace, and peace. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that he is I AM.

Now that we are past Easter, I think of this time as a 50 Day Sprint to Pentecost. The spring is a time when everything grows very quickly, it is a time for accelerated results. This is a good time to seek God on what he wants to accomplish through us in the next 6-7 weeks. This time is also a reminder that life changing results can happen in a very short period of time. 

In today's communion we are asking God to show us what he wants us to focus on over the next 6-7 weeks and to accelerate greatly during this time.

This month our message is... The Best Use of Time, which has me thinking about accelerated results. The other day I heard someone say that it's easier to get much bigger results in a short period of time than it is to get smaller results over a long time. Something I observed while working in the gym is that some people get fast results by doing something extreme, but it seems that these results very rarely last. On the other side of the spectrum is taking a more patient approach, aiming for slow steady progress over a longer period of time, but this can be challenging as well. But I think God can give us the ultimate combination in that we can get accelerated results that actually last. 

With us just celebrating Easter I was reminded that in the Bible the third day seems to be correlated with accelerated results. 

In the story of Jesus turning water into wine(John 2) there is a small detail in the beginning of the story t...

 Easter was a reminder that we have God living within us and he is the source of everything good. He is the source of life, light, truth, energy, love, health, and so much more. If we need one of these things we can go directly to the source. For us to produce fruit in our lives we must stay connected to the source. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that we have the source of all things good living within us. And we are asking him to help us rely on him as our source and stay connected to him.

God is the source of our health, strength, endurance and as we do our workouts focus on staying connected with him.

 I used to play and coach college baseball, and the other day I was reminded that one of the keys to pitching in baseball is the combination of pitches. It's often a pitcher's ability to execute combinations of pitches that determines his success. This reminded me of the 1-2-3 combination of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Easter/First Fruits.

We had a reminder this last weekend of this powerful combination of Jesus forgiving our sins, releasing us from darkness, transferring us into the light, making us righteous, rolling away our old heart of stone, giving us new hearts, and putting his Spirit and power in our heart hearts... what a combination.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the combination of what Jesus did for us and to apply this understanding. We are also asking God to help us create amazing combinations that produce results in our lives.

Happy Easter!

Here is today's communion meditation.

 In the Gospels one of the phrases that is used in the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus is "Preparation Day." In the Jewish culture the day before the Sabbath was Preparation Day. Everything needed for the Sabbath had to be prepared on the day before. Preparation came before rest. And after the death of Jesus the women prepared spices and ointment for his body before they went to the tomb. 

In today's communion we are asking God to teach us about the importance of preparation and become people who are always prepared so that we can enter into his rest. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Preparation is a big part of health. To consistently eat healthy meals requires preparation. And to have a systematic workout plan requires preparation. As we train our bodies we prepare for higher levels activities. 

 I am praying for you.

Today is day 2 of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which a reminder to clean out our old ways so that we can walk in newness of life. This was a time in the Old Testament when the people were to clean out all of the old leaven in their house. 

1 Corinthians 5:7-8 says, "Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth."

In today's communion we are asking God to help us clean out our old ways.

 Today we start the 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a reminder of the sinless body of Jesus. Unleavened bread is a reminder that Jesus is the bread that came down from Heaven, and he is our righteousness. 

This is a time to remember that he became sin so that we could be righteous and have God on our side.

Here is our filter for this week... Unleavened Bread.

I am praying for you.

 As we celebrate Good Friday and Easter it's a time to remember that God is for us.

Romans 8:31-32 says, " What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is for us.
