Devotion:
Give yourself over to. Not just learn about, not just watch YouTube videos on, not just aspire to, but to actually give yourself over to.
Letter to the Church: Pergamum
Who here is at risk of compromising our calling or falling into Jesus + something = fulfillment? All our hands should be up. We all have the propensity to say Yes to Jesus and then also try to say Yes to things that seem like we need to get for ourselves. So what do we do when we are trapped in sexual sin and idolatry? Kevin Platt helps us see from this letter in Revelation 2 that Jesus gives a merciful path back to him! We remember. We repent. And we Return.
A definition:
“Spiritual formation is the journey of continually responding to the reality of God’s grace shaping us into the likeness of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in the community of faith, for the sake of the world.”
David and Kevin lead Missio Mesa in a dialogue discussing the hidden treasures and traps of following Jesus in our cultural moment.
