Have you ever considered how the shared life you participate in is a witness to the good news of Jesus and His kingdom?
One of the “dangers” of being formed in small, unimpressive, but consistent ways over long periods of time is that everything… well… becomes normal.
The sacrificial use of time….. it’s just what we do.
The weekly meals…. what else would I do for dinner on Wed?
The morning prayer…. of course I’d go, those are friends and we meet with God.
The financial generosity…. we are used to living on 90% of our income.
The helping others move…. it’s a joy to use my truck and time to help.
Friends,
Each of those things, when lived as a response to the gospel, tells of the power of Jesus and his kingdom to all who see.
I’d encourage you- watch this short video then think about ways that the life you are living tells about the good news of the kingdom OR confronts some of the old patterns you may have slipped back into!
Enjoy.
