There is a bulletin insert that accompanies each message in this series. It’s designed to be an aid in your prayer time. Here’s the insert from week 1 on praise & waiting.
This message begins a six-week series and a two month challenge on prayer. The goal is not only to develop a life of prayer as individuals but as a community. Dick Eastman’s “The Hour That Changes the World” is a very helpful guide through the different forms of biblical prayer. Each week, we will cover 2 forms of prayer. The challenge is to engage in those two forms for 1 minute every day. There are 12 forms in all so we start this week with 2-minutes each day leading up to 12-minutes by the end of this series.
Two minutes each day, praising and waiting on God. Think you’re up to the challenge?
The cross is not only a choice, it is a transaction, a deal. Christ offers us something of his (his righteousness) in exchange for someone of ours (our sin). It is the ultimate deal. It is grace, a free gift, free to us but something that cost God the ultimate price. God does this because his ultimate desire is for a world filled with sons & daughters who love and live like Jesus himself.
It is easy to understand that the resurrection is a victory but the Bible declares that the cross itself is a victory. How is this possible? By understanding the true nature of the cross and the battle waged, we can gain a vision of how to overcome evil in our own lives through Christ.
Everyone draws a line between right and wrong but where most people draw that line puts themselves just in the right. Luke 19 shows us the life of a man who stopped redrawing lines and came clean with Jesus. Zacchaeus was a small man who became big on honesty.
Which is the deciding factor - nature or nurture? Are we the product of our genes or our environment? Consider the story of two brothers who chose the same profession yet had radically different destinies. By nature and nurture, they were virtually identical so what made the difference? Sometimes who we are comes down to the choices we make. Jesus’ cross was surrounded by two others. Their destinies were also determined by choices made. What choice will we make?
