Announcement and Invitation
Living the Resurrection #5
Waiting…
Watching…
Wondering…
When?
Why?
When will you come Lord?
When is the great victory?
When will we see your face?
Why are you waiting?
Why did you…
Leave?
Why do we still feel lost?
Uncertain?
Where is the good news?
What is the good news?
What are we to say?
What are we to do?
What are we to…
Share?
Your message seems simple.
But how?
How do we express it?
How do we show it to others?
How do we present the good news?
The…
Gospel?
For where is the good?
What is good?
Is it good for me?
Or for another?
The only answer I have…
The only anchor to which I can tether the meaning of good…
Is truth.
Is you.
Is your…
Word
For you have spoken to us.
You have sent your message.
In good times and bad,
ㅤ you have provided your word.
You have announced your good news…
The news that you are…
King
That you reign.
Regardless of today’s circumstances,
ㅤ you reign.
That your will is supreme.
And that we are free to live in your…
Kingdom
Free from brokenness..
Free from longing.
Free from rules.
Free to live.
Free to reconnect.
Free to be loved.
Free to…
Love
And this is the good news.
The good news we are meant to share.
The good news we are meant to live.
Jesus is King
And if we live in this good news…
If Jesus is King of our hearts…
Then we see better.
We see him better.
We see how to live.
We see how to love.
But for Jesus to reign in our hearts we must…
Turn
Trust
Travel
We must turn toward Jesus,
ㅤ repenting of our old behaviors.
We must trust Jesus,
ㅤ believing his Goodness.
We must travel with Jesus,
ㅤ following his…
Way
For the Kingdom is not a destination.
It is a path.
A journey.
Living in the kingdom means knowing our identity…
Beloved
Living in the kingdom means admitting what went wrong.
That we have…
Sinned
Living in the kingdom means knowing what Jesus has done.
That we are…
Forgiven
Living in the kingdom means knowing we have new life.
That we are…
Empowered
That is the good news.
That is the…
