Have you ever wondered what it would look like if the Gospel moved in a radical way in your life? Have you ever questioned what it would look like? Most of us live lives in an ordinary fashion and go about our days and weeks with little or no impact for the Gospel of Jesus.
We spend a great deal of time attempting to see where Jesus can fit into our lives. Where does the Gospel fit in the life that I am building? On the surface, that may sound like a great question to ask. The truth behind it though, is that God does not fit anywhere in the life that you are building. God desires to deconstruct your life, and reconstruct His life through you.
We are slaves to our own lives, and most of us don’t even realize it. We are heirs to the promises of God, yet our lives rarely reflect this reality. God has a covenant of freedom that is waiting for us to truly trust in Him, and He will unlock a radical life of revolutionary movement through Jesus. Tomorrow at The Village we will take a look at this kind of life through the words of Paul in Galatians 4:21-31. Join us @ Swift Creek Elementary @ 10 am and you may unlock a life that you never dreamed you could have.
What does it mean to be a child of God? Galatians 3 ends with the grace of God being shown as a great equalizer, and those redeemed being the heirs to His promises. Galatians 4 takes it further though. Paul writes that God has adopted us as His children.
Tomorrow at The Village, we will take a look at what the implications in this are for our lives. Many look at the Christian life as a way of gaining acceptance by God, we will see that God goes way farther than accepting us. He brings us in and makes us His very own.
If all who are redeemed are children of God, does that mean that we are family? In Christ, God is building His people, the Church. God’s promises are fulfilled in Jesus, and through the life of the Church. Through this great Gospel that God has weaved throughout history He desires to give us true freedom. This freedom not only brings us to life, but also frees us to belong. We belong to God, as well as to each other.
Join us tomorrow @ 10 am @ Swift Creek Elementary School.
