It’s natural to be reminded of our disappointment at Christmas, but it also is a time to fight with obedience and faithfulness. The reward for your faithfulness to God’s calls and commands are far beyond what you can imagine!
A Challenge to Challenge.
Jesus didn’t condemn. Jesus challenged everyone he came into contact with. Let’s be like Jesus, drop condemnation, and pick up challenge.
Miracles: Remember Your Role
Reading the amazing stories of Jesus in the Gospels, we often forget our role. We aren’t Jesus. We don’t work miracles. Remember your role.
Christmas: the Heart of Generosity
Christmas is a season of giving which reflects the heart of God. Generosity is God’s nature. Do you reflect God’s heart of generosity?
Transformed = Rejection, Pain + Discomfort.
Jesus was transformed on a mountain, but in the process learned that lasting transformation would include rejection, pain and discomfort.
How to Find a Hidden God.
God is good, but He is not always understandable. Sometimes God does things that make no sense. Sometimes God is hidden when we need Him most.
Jesus in your boat.
Jesus has called you up to greater things. Those things are probably exciting but scary too. Good news, Jesus is in your boat!
Called up to Greater Things
You‘ve been picked out and invited in by Jesus, but the best news is you‘ve also been called up to greater things. Now, who will you call up?
You are invited in!
Jesus picked you out, but he didn’t end there. Jesus also invited you in to community. He wants you to have relationship with him and others.
Picked out. Invited in. Called up.
Jesus consistently treated people in this way: He picked people out. He invited them in. Jesus called people up. He does it for you today.
