Filed under: Sunday Morning Recap
Last week we started our new series DIVE and looked at our new memory verse James 1:22, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” We learned that going deeper into God’s word is not about knowledge but about a relationship, obedience, going deeper in love and the work of the Holy Spirit. We asked ourselves, when we obey God’s word, are we obeying a book or a person? This week we continued down that path, first by realizing that it is possible to obey a book and not God. We also had to face the truth that it’s possible to know your bible and not love and obey God, and an obedience problem is always a relationship problem. So how do we start to work on these problems and be obedient to Christ’s call on all of us to impact the world around us for Him? Through exploring Matthew 9 we see in verse 19 that we must “get up and go” just as Jesus and His disciples did. As we continue in chapter 9 we also realize that we must have eyes to see the needs of others, we need to be able to speak a different reality into others lives and we HAVE to get up close and personal with those around us. In verse 38 Christ is praying for workers into His harvest and we need to be the answer to that prayer, by looking, praying and going, because the hope of any nation is found in Christ alone. Will you be the difference?
