Jeremy Utley - The Shelter in Place Disciple Development Program
Summary
The central message is that true worship in spirit means striving to be pleasing to God, which is exemplified by Jesus' life before his ministry. The speaker argues that the current circumstances, like being 'shelter in place,' should not be seen as a hindrance but rather as a divine 'disciple development program.' This period offers a unique opportunity for believers to learn how to seek God's pleasure privately, mirroring how Jesus learned to please the Father before His public ministry.

Jeremy Utley - How Jesus Invites Believers to the Lord's Supper
Jeremy Utley · Jan 8, 2025
Jeremy Utley teaches on the spiritual preparation required for partaking in the Lord's Supper, using Jesus's foot-washing of the disciples as a central metaphor. He emphasizes that ongoing cleansing and thorough repentance from sin—particularly ongoing struggles like pride—are necessary for believers to have a true part in communion, arguing against superficial or partial confession. The message calls disciples to radical honesty and complete self-examination before approaching the Lord's table, rather than quick or surface-level attempts at cleansing.
