Did you know that Jesus, in his infinite wisdom, touched on the topic of money in a whopping 11 out of the 39 parables he shared with the crowds? It's pretty fascinating how he used money as a tool to unveil our true priorities. Think about it – our bank statements spill the beans on what truly matters to us. At the core of Christianity lies this beautiful idea that God, in His vast creativity, crafted everything, and it all ultimately belongs to Him. We humans? Well, we're more like stewards or managers of these divine resources, and that includes our hard-earned money. Stewardship isn't just a small part of the Christian journey; it's the whole shebang! It's about embracing the notion that every penny we manage is a chance to express our devotion and care for what truly matters in the grand scheme of things
What a journey those Magi from ancient days must have had following the star that led them to Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords. Have you thought about your journey with Christ? Maybe you’ve sat on the sidelines hoping for something to happen. Or maybe you’re afraid of what will happen if you go all-in for Jesus. Whatever the case let Him take control of your life, let Him have the steering wheel and one thing for sure, your life will be an adventure.
So, there’s a dream God has given you or maybe a dream that has been rekindled by last week’s Sermon and Study. Now what? Our next step is to focus on the one main thing in life that will keep us moving forward to obtain it. It sounds simple! Yet, in reality, it rarely comes easily. The push and pull of everyday life make take away some of the excitement we once had. But that’s why we must learn to Remain Focused. Fix our eyes on Jesus and the promise God has given to get us through.
Sometimes life seems that way even when the sun is shining. Where do you turn when the world seems cold and dark? Scripture reminds us that We can look up! We can turn to the promises of God in His word. That is what we will be discussing this week as we come to worship as the Body of Christ.
Discontentment often has society looking for fulfillment in other places. It may result in a pattern of turning away from God rather than running toward Him. Being content in all things is a discipline we all can use strengthening in. Join us as we discuss what it means as a follower of Jesus to be content.
