The driver of an F1 race car needs to shut out all distractions and have a laser-sharp focus on their race for them to have any chance of success. And it is the same with us as we run the race of our life. We are attuned to our surroundings so we can navigate them successfully, but our focus is on Jesus, who both begins and completes our race for us. (Based on Heb. 12:1-13.)

Way of Jesus 13: Responding to the Word of Jesus 23:23

10 дней назад23:23

23:23

Why do some believe in Jesus and others do not? In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus teaches us that God’s Word always has the potential to produce abundant faith within us, but sometimes the condition of our heart hinders the growth God wants to give to us. Therefore, we tend our heart like a gardener, keeping it soft, clean & fertile so that God’s Word is better able to do its work within us. (Based on Mark 4:1-20.)…

20:36

“I’m a good person,” is a common way people describe themselves, but an honest self-assessment will soon reveal that this statement is not true. The only human hope for goodness is found outside ourselves in Jesus Christ, God’s Son and our Saviour. He won the gift of goodness for us through his life, death & resurrection & he applies his goodness to us personally in the waters of Holy Baptism. (Based on Titus 2:11-3:8.)…

We humans are greatly influenced by our environment, and when the brokenness inside us connects with the brokenness in the world, it can lead to devastation. Thankfully, God’s Word creates faith in our hearts which connects us to Jesus, who saves us and transforms us to become more like him from the inside out. (Based on 2 Timothy 3:1-17.)…

Way of Jesus 10: A Life of Grace & Purpose 18:11

4 weeks назад18:11

18:11

Having goals in life can be a good thing, but it is best to hold them loosely, for a self-directed life will always fall short of the life God wants to give us. He invites us to live our life in the world yet live differently from the world. By living in the grace he gives us, we grow into the purpose he has for us, and those around us are blessed as we do that. (Based on 1 Timothy 1:12-2:7.)…

Way of Jesus 9: The River of Life & the Eternal Promise 23:46

5 weeks назад23:46

23:46

Being a person of hope requires that we hold in our heart two seemingly opposite truths at the same time. First, the world, including us, has been thoroughly infected and broken by evil and that brokenness is beyond any human ability to repair. And second, Jesus Christ, through his life, death, and resurrection, paid the full cost for all the evil and brokenness in the world to be forgiven and healed. The first truth helps us to accept this world as it really is and live our lives according to that reality. The second truth helps us to be people of faith and hope in a broken and hurting world. With Jesus, we know how the world’s story ends, and that makes all the difference. (Based on Rev. 22:1-13.)…

Way of Jesus 8: A Song of Justice & Mercy 22:20

22:20

There can be little doubt that the world is broken. A brief survey of world news provides sufficient evidence of that fact. But how can the world be healed? Our best human efforts, though well-intentioned, will always fall short. Only a powerful, holy, and righteous God can make all the wrongs in this world right. And that very God is inviting us to follow him in faith now so we can join in singing his victory song at the end of time. (Based on Rev. 15:1-8.)…

23:46

Guilt can be a force for good when it moves us to repent of our sins and make amends to those we have harmed. But we also need to be aware that we have an enemy, Satan, who accuses us of sins already forgiven to drive a wedge between us and God. Thankfully, Jesus, through his death and resurrection, defeated Satan for us. In Jesus, our troubled souls have peace. (Based on Rev. 12:7-17.)…

What is the goal of human life? To gather wealth, gain power, or be liked? None of these things will matter in a hundred years. Jesus offers us a much greater vision for our life, for now and forever. He saved us from our short-sighted flaws and failures so we could be celebrating and singing praises at the end of time. And we get to invite others to join the choir. (Based on Rev. 7:9-17.)…

26:09

Having a passionate faith is a wondrous thing for our heart soars with joy as we experience intimacy with God. But our passionate faith often fades, especially when we face challenges, and then our heart wanders away and begins to love created things instead of the Creator. How do we get back to loving God primarily and passionately? By remembering all that he has done, is doing, and will do for us. (Based on Rev. 2:1-11.)…

Way of Jesus 4: Love in Action 26:25

26:25

We tend to think of love primarily as an emotion, but true love always expresses itself in action, doing what is best for our beloved, even when we aren’t feeling “love” in our heart. We turn away from our inherent selfishness and give ourselves to our beloved because we want to be one with them. Jesus not only loves us with the greatest love of all, he has also expanded our circle of loved ones to include everyone who believes in him. Jesus has made all of us one with him and one with each other. Therefore, we love one another. (Based on 1 John 3:11-24.)…

With all the disorder in and around us, it is hard for us to have peace. Who can calm the storm within our heart? Jesus. He has defeated all the threats we face and gives us a greater and grander new life with him. How do we know this is true? Because Jesus has risen from the dead. How do we receive peace from Jesus? Through faith in him. (Based on John 20:19-31.)…

The natural inclination of humans is to think that the path to greatness requires gathering more: more power, more wealth, more people, and more possessions. But Jesus shows us that true greatness is found on a Path of Sacrifice. As we give up our lives for Jesus’ mission to love, restore and renew the world, we find that he has given us a life that is greater than anything we could ever ask or imagine.
