Kenny started a new podcast series with his friend Bob Perreault, in which they will be discussing aspects of the “Experiencing God study” by Henry Blackaby. This first episode, “Experiencing God Part 1”, is an introduction to the series. Kenny and Bob talk about the overall focus of the Experiencing God book or study, which is to shift believers from a “man-centered way of life” to a “God-centered way of life”. They also give a short description to the seven key principles to living out this God centered life.
Kenny continues with his friend Willam Puckett on the series called “Being Otherly”. This episode is titled “Serve One Another”. This is the last episode in the series and Kenny and William look at and discuss various ways we can serve one another. They also tie together the beginning of the series and several of the topics along the way with this closing episode.
Galatians 5:13 ESV
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13 Message
It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows.
1 Peter 4:10-11 NLT
10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 11 Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 ESV
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
1 Cor 12:8-11 ESV
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
Romans 12:3-8 ESV
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Gal 6:2 ESV
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Gal 6:2 Message
Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law.
Heb. 13:16 (NIV)
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Rom. 12:13 (NIV)
Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
1 Thes 2:8 ESV
So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
Acts 4:32-34a ESV
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34 There were no needy persons among them.
Matt. 25:31-46 (NIV)
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
This is a message Kenny preach at Hilltown Community Church. It is called “Follow Me”. Kenny preached from Mark 1:14-18. He focuses on Jesus proclaiming the Kingdom of God and calling disciples to follow Him that they would carry on the same Kingdom mission and ministry He started and to continue to make disciples until the end of this age.
This is a message Kenny preach at New Birth Church. It is called “Called To Be Saints”. Kenny preached from 1 Corinthians 1:1-2. He focuses on who we are as God’s community, what it means to be sanctified in Christ, and that God has invited us to live into the reality of who we are in Christ.
Kenny started a new podcast series called “Being Otherly”, with his friend Willam Puckett. This is the introduction to the series which will be looking at and discussing a variety of the “one another” scriptures in the New Testament, like love one another or pray for one another or serve one another. The series will give you a vision of what authentic healthy relationships and community could look like and challenge you to pursue it. In this episode they will look at and talk about Phil 2:3-5 and John 13:15-17 to give a foundation and example for being otherly. Then they will look at and discuss John 13:34 and John 3:16 to give you the overarching theme of bring otherly, “to love one another”.
Phil 2:3-5
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
John 13:15-17
15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
John 13:34
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
