Hello all!!! Well, the last two weeks of sermons have been quite profound! Two weeks ago we talked extensively about how part of building God's Kingdom (rather than our own) involves learning to be content in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in. We also talked about working on the way we pray!! This, I think, is huge!!! Our prayers should reflect our desire for God's Kingdom as opposed to our desire for ours!
This week, we focused on the amazing gift that Christ gave us in his death. The fact that Christ 'gave' up His spirit of His own free will was something we discussed at length. For me, it changes the way I see His death! I mentioned that I have read these verses for who knows how many Easter Seasons... but I have never seen it in quite this light before. The Romans did not kill Him... He died for US!!!!! That is truly an amazing truth and it should inform every aspect of our lives!! That is how we go about building God's Kingdom instead of our own! Remember to think about those practical ways that we can give our lives over to God that we talked about!!
