      <description><![CDATA[When you're drowning in debt—financial, emotional, or otherwise—God doesn't ask about what you lack. He asks: What do you have? Sometimes the miracle starts with the smallest jar of oil and a community willing to help without judgment. What if your breakthrough isn't about having more, but about offering what you already possess? 🏺✨

      <description><![CDATA[What if the protection you're praying for is already there, but exhaustion has blinded you to it? The story of Elisha's servant teaches us that sometimes we don't need God to change our circumstances - we need Him to open our eyes to see what He's already doing. Are you missing God's faithfulness because you're focused on the problem instead of His presence?

      <description><![CDATA[Many Christians live under what Dallas Willard called 'the gospel of sin management,' treating faith as better debt management rather than complete debt discharge. Tetelestai challenges this limited view, inviting believers to stop deriving identity from performance and instead live as those whose spiritual accounts are marked 'paid in full.' This doesn't eliminate effort from Christian life but removes the burden of using work to establish worth. The invitation is to serve from gratitude rather than obligation, from love rather than fear, resting in the overwhelming gift of grace that was accomplished before we were even born.<br/><br/>Links for teaching resources: https://www.newgroundchurch.org/resources<br/><br/>Connect with us! https://www.newgroundchurch.org<br/>Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/newgroundchurch<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newgroundchurch<br/>Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/newgroundMI​<br/>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/newgroundchurch<br/>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jesus walks on the water.  Whether you've heard the story or not, most are familiar with it.  Most interpret this story on how we need to "keep on our eyes on Jesus and never doubt."  But this is not how the 1st-century Jewish person understood it at all. Mike walks through how understanding what disciples believed about following their rabbi and vice-versa that gives this story a much more surprising and inspiring meaning.
