Through prayer we have community with God and we are called to submission and dependence on God
Jesus is the Lord of the harvest and He calls us to join Him in His harvest mission.
As continues to Luke unpack the story of who Jesus is, he has given us greater glimpses of the power, grace, and love of Jesus. His writing calls us to live by faith believing that Jesus is who the Scriptures say he is. As we get into Luke 9:18-50, we see the disciples faced with a similar question, “Who do you say that I am?” This question leads them to consider who it is that they are really following and who it is that they truly worship?
Jesus created everything and holds everything together so we can trust Him, even in the storms of life
Jesus is the sovereign Lord and having faith in Him means learning to trust Him in every aspect of life
What we worship determines the direction and priorities of our lives and what kind of people we become
Jesus has fulfilled God’s promise to send a Savior and King for the world. We can build our lives on all the promises of God that come through Jesus.
We can know with certainty that Jesus is Savior and King and knowing Him is how we begin to be shaped by His life and goodness
(2 Chronicles 20:1-18)
God reveals himself to all people in all different ways so that they might meet Jesus. We often tell the story of the Three Kings, or the Magi, as this side story to the coming of Christ. The deeper truth in this is that Jesus wasn’t only sent for the Jewish people, he was sent for all people. As we look deeper into the lives of the Magi, we come face to face with the Gospel truth that we are called to take the Gospel to places where it is not so that other might know Jesus.
