Foundations 2022

Hebrews 11:10 [Abraham] was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Imagine someone set out to build a brand new home. They dream about it, lay out plans, and work out every detail. They hire a contractor to pour the foundation, and that contractor follows the plans and lays the perfect foundation. Then they hire a builder to take it over from there…and that builder shows up with his own ideas and his own plan…doesn’t even look at the foundation, or only gives it a quick glance…and then proceeds to just start building with little or no regard given to the foundation…what is that house going to look like?

Jesus commissioned us to build His church, he laid the foundation and gave us the blueprint. Every new year is a fresh chance for us to examine our foundations and make sure that we’re building our lives, and our church well in line with the incredible foundation Jesus gave us.

Wait

The famous pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “Celebrating Advent means learning how to wait. Waiting is an art which our impatient age has forgotten.” In an age that has forgotten the power and virtue of waiting, rediscovering it is the only way we’ll fully grasp the transformational meaning of Christmas. Let’s talk about what we’re waiting for, why we’re waiting and how to wait.

Exiles

Christians know that God expects us to live holy lives. What does that look like in world we live in today? In the United States of America? Among all the people you live and work with you aren’t following Jesus? In the Church?

The Apostle Peter wrote a letter to early Christians who had fled their homes and been scattered to other cities and towns. In it he told them to embrace their identity as exiles. He wrote:

Since we call on a Father who judges every person’s work impartially, live out your time in exile with reverent respect. (1 Peter 1:17)

What would happen if you and I embraced the exile identity and let it transform our relationships with God, our church family, the culture around us, and the governments we live under? Let’s find out together!

Good Dirt

Good Dirt: What it takes to grow in God’s kingdom and have God’s kingdom grow in you.

What was Jesus bringing from town to town when he walked the face of the earth? Was it merely an offer of forgiveness, peace and love? It was so much more. Jesus brought the devastatingly good news that God’s kingdom was breaking into this world, a new creation order, that was going to change everything. How we get into this new creation order, and how it gets into us, is what we’ll be exploring as we follow Jesus from town to town in Luke 7 & 8.
