Paul wants to shape both the Ephesian church in their imaginations and their daily activities.
He’s telling them again the good news and inviting them into a deeper way of living as God’s new creation community- a way of life that, because of Jesus, is already open to them, with blessings that are already theirs, and a power they already possessed. Let’s Go…
Here’s some really good news!
We looked at Peters “from now on moment” in July.. now we take a look at Matthew’s and recognize again that when we say “Yes” to Jesus we are joining with a redeeming King, His Community, and His Mission. Enjoy this teaching by Kevin Platt where we look at these three dimensions of our discipleship.
We are all coming in having sinned, been sinned against, and having had people try to process sin with us. All of us. That means none of us are neutral and all of us have something to learn from Jesus.
In this training Kevin Platt and David Comstock take Missio Dei Mesa through 2 passages to explore what the Bible has to say about being a community that takes responsibility for working with Jesus to see people restored to the Father and one another.
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.
