This mornings message. The same as the one found under the new devotionals page. Just wanted to make sure you found it!
The gospel is the good news message that Jesus of Nazareth was (and is) the promised Messiah\King of God's Kingdom. Proclaiming this message was the purpose for which the 4 accounts of Jesus' life we call gospels were written. As we approach Easter this year, we will look at how different events in the gospel of John reveal Jesus as King, and what kind of King he is, beginning with his first miracle, turning water into wine at a wedding celebration in Cana.
Putting worship in its proper place in our lives and hearts as a humble posture that elevates Christ as King.
Further Study: Amos 5:21-24, Micah 6:6-8, James 1:27, Isaiah 29:13-16, Isaiah 53:3, 1 Peter 4:12-13, Matt 5:10-12
Jesus followed a long line of prophets from God who warned against the mysteriously idolatrous power of money and possessions. He prohibited His followers from putting their trust and security in material, 'earthly' things, and instructed His followers to invest in what would last for eternity. We cannot serve two masters\kings or kingdoms. We have to choose who we serve, where we invest our hearts. The choice is ours who and what we will serve. What will your choice be?
Jesus calls us to have no other master but God. And after doing so, Jesus immediately reminds us that God is a generous host\Creator. We can entrust ourselves to seeking God above all other concerns because we can trust in His generosity towards us to meet our needs.
Just as fasting is a way of engaging our physical bodies in spiritual mourning, feasting is a way of engaging our physical bodies into prompting or aligning with our soul in celebrating God's person, presence, promises and power.
Fasting is a spiritual discipline many Christians in the West don't have a strong history or connection with. Fasting is the natural response of a follower of Jesus to a sacred moment of grief. We are a unified being of body (physical) and mind\soul\spirit (non-physical). Biblical fasting brings our bodies into unified expression of mourning with what God mourns.
Many Christians struggle with prayer. Sometimes because we've only learned one model for prayer or one way to pray that isn't exactly how God has wired for them to hear and listen to God through prayer. Today's message acknowledges this struggle and gives some other ways to engage with God in prayer.
