What an amazing journey we’ve had in our Becoming Real series.
Nicodemus. Peter. Mary & Martha. Mary Magdalene. Pilate.
All these have experienced life changing moments with Jesus.
Whose story has stuck out to you?
What have you seen Jesus reveal about Himself that hit home for you?
In those encounters with Him, what have you learned about how He leads and shapes us?
Becoming Real isn’t a destination, but a journey.
The processes of becoming like Christ will go on forever.
Watch last Sunday’s sermon “Mary Magdalene Encounters Jesus - Part II” from our Becoming Real series
And the real beauty of Jesus, is His inlet for transformation has always been in the middle of people’s failures, low points, struggles and sins…
And we’ll see that on full display this Sunday for our last encounter—Peter and Jesus, as Jesus takes Peter’s failure and personal rejection of Jesus, and transforms it into a commissioning for leadership and world transformation.
The Kingdom arrives in unexpected ways. May this be a reminder today, that the Lord Jesus is active in your areas of incompetence, frustration and discouragement….
”Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong“ 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NLT.
For when we are weak, then we can become stronger in Him.
In fact, weakness is a prerequisite for becoming real.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Dave
