Sermon Series: A Jesus Shaped Life
God’s eternal goal is that we live a Jesus-shaped life. From the moment you trusted Christ, God began the process of making you like his Son. During the season of Lent, we focus not just on who Jesus is, but also why he came to offer his life for us: that we might be forgiven and invited to pattern our life after his. Based on a new study from Seedbed Publishers we will spend 40 days growing together toward Christ-likeness.
March 13 – The Obedience of Jesus
We are all tempted to say, ‘I know a shortcut,’ to God’s directions in our lives. There is a name for those shortcuts: sin. And Jesus told us it doesn’t end well. Rule-keeping is not God’s aim; transformation is his intent.
Luke 6:46-49
The Two Foundations
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I tell you? 47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. 48 That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built.[a] 49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, immediately it fell, and great was the ruin of that house.”
