Stay in the SpiritLike a vine needs a trellis to grow healthy, our discipleship needs structure to grow as followers of Jesus. This is how we abide in Christ as a Community of Grace.
Having seen Jesus' own spiritual practices last week, this week we hear Jesus teaching for his disciples on living these practices ourselves. How is the Lord calling you to deepen your discipleship to him?
As we are seeking to follow in the Way of Jesus, it makes sense to start by observing the practices that made up Jesus' own daily walk of life among us. Why did Jesus do what he did? What is the Holy Spirit showing you about what he wants to deepen in your spiritual life in this season?
If Jesus is the Way, how do we find our way to follow him? It is about becoming an apprentice of Jesus and not just a spectator. It is a foreign idea to most of us so we must learn the language of discipleship.
Our Missional Values say "We will see, love, serve, and teach people the way Jesus sees, loves, serves, and teaches people." Which of those have we been good at as a congregation? Where do we need to grow?
What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus at Community of Grace Lutheran Church? It is a journey, not a destination.
Our God designed our lives to receive from him, his gifts of life, love and grace, and to be vessels of that life, to those around us. Are all our fountains in him, or do we trust in the leaky cisterns we build? Who is the Lord calling us to serve, as he calls us to be vessels of his love?
How does Jesus speak to a lukewarm Church that has closed it's doors to his presence? With truth and love.
Even when things feel unstable, Jesus opens the door to the Kingdom for everyone who trusts in him.
