Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
As we begin this new year, I feel an overwhelming desire—a nudging, if you will to walk through the New Testament with you. I don’t know where you might find yourself this first week of January 2023—maybe you’re inspired and motivated to accomplish some goals, maybe you’re in an in-between place where you don’t have any specific plans, but you do desire to see some growth, or maybe you’re on the verge of isolation—you feel dull and disengaged and don’t feel any sense of desire to do much but make it through another day. Hey, making it, counts. So, I hope you do. I mean that.
The Holy Spirit is definitely doing something in this season. That sounds so generic and bland and rote. But I’d be lying if I said I completely understood. There has been a clear outpouring of his spirit, I’m seeing so many people desiring to know God, and to have a real relationship with him, to release themselves from religious and spiritual trauma, who are seeking healing and as a result want to love and serve other people. I’m seeing people racing to social media platforms and eager to share their testimonies and transformations. I also feel a heaviness that sometimes feels overwhelming when I hear of the increased suicide rates, divorces, economic downturns, political agendas, racially motivated offenses, kidnappings, trafficking, abuse, ongoing injustice. It can feel like A LOT. In the midst of all of this—the good and the bad—everyday life is still happening, and there is a way you can do it well. So, to start this year off I want to dig into the NT with you. I want to talk about how we can the truth and beauty from the gospel—that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he died for our sins, that we can received him and the gift of salvation and submit to his authority in our lives—and as a result also apply His wisdom to our lives in realistic, relatable and practical ways that lead to an inwardly and outwardly obvious lifestyle change.
Yes.
It can be done.
Yes.
We are going to do it.
This is just the beginning.
You ready?
Let’s start 2023 off right.
