Knowing God With Heart and Mind

Resurrection

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Once again, we will gather to celebrate the greatest news of all time. The resurrection of our Lord Jesus is a miracle without equal. Though He was dead and buried, He arose by His own hand. Though He was condemned for our transgressions, He broke the bonds of Hell to set us free. Though He was treated as a common criminal, He emerged as King of all Creation. We are forgiven though unworthy. We are destined for resurrection though dead and buried in our trespasses. We are children of sin who are now sons and daughters of God the Father...Because of Him.

The Passion of Our Lord

It is Palm Sunday once again and the start of another Holy Week. This Sunday, we remember the passion of our Lord even while small groups, classes, and individuals wrap up the Red Letter Challenge. The RLC taught us how to listen to Christ’s words and apply them to our spiritual journey and daily interactions. Now, we will begin a week of intense focus upon what the Lord Jesus has done for us.

The Red Letter Challenge: Going

As we wind down the Red Letter Challenge and consider the 5th discipleship practice most often cited in the words of Jesus. So far, we talked about being, forgiving, serving, giving, and now, going. The last discipleship precept, going, is the toughest for about 90% of us.  Going requires faith, courage, and discomfort. This Sunday we'll talk about going wherever He sends us, and going away from whatever He asks us to leave behind.

The Red Letter Challenge: Giving

Giving, like forgiving, is ultimately about letting go of your sense of entitlement. When you shift your focus from yourself and everything you want and need, it’s like changing your point of view after always looking at something familiar from the same vantage point. Reframing your life to be a disciple and servant of Christ will cause you to be more generous. The amazing thing about it is that it will do more for you than you can imagine.

The Red Letter Challenge: Serving

You have done many good works that gave you a feeling of fulfillment and righteousness. You’ve received praise for some things and were content to be unheralded for others. Some may have been costly in time, talent, and treasure, but it felt worthwhile because the works were good and the means you are good. Many will stand before the LORD on judgment day saying, “LORD, I was good, so I’m entitled to my place in Heaven.” Is that how it works? When you serve, whom do you serve?
