Having a Heart in a Sometimes Heartless World
Scripture focus: Who believes what we’ve heard and seen? Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this? The servant grew up before God – a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. Isaiah 53:1-2 The Message
This week we’ve focused on becoming sons and daughters of THE king.
We made a distinction between children and adults, sons and daughters.
We talked about the difference between believing something and becoming a follower.
We considered how life might look different if we truly followed God, rather than just believing that he exists.
Finally, we’ve begun to turn our attention to some of the lame excuses me might use to think about ourselves as “less thans” – children not fit to wear the mantle of responsibility that comes with heirs to the kingdom.
You’ve completed three hundred thirty five days of a three hundred sixty six day journey. This also means we’ve completed the month of November. One more month to go – and if we finish the race, and we’ve chosen to read the recommended reading – we will have also read through the bible in one year. Whew!
Recommended reading: Daniel 7 and 8 in the morning; 1 John 1 and Psalm 111 in the evening
