The rule of love, I say again, is not an optional extra. It is of the very essence of what we are about. If this means we need some new reformations, so be it. —NT Wright
Living It Out This Week
It is Christmas week! Advent is drawing to a close and we are left hustling to finish our lists, and check them twice. However, now more than ever, we need to slow down and let the Word of God saturate us in love.
Sunday-1 John 4.1-21:Love is a very powerful action. The character of God is love! Love is not just a concept to understand but an action to live out. How will you love others this week?
Monday-Matthew 1.1-17: The genealogy of Jesus is important, helping to tie the Old and New Testaments together. What names stick out in this list? Where do you notice love in these names?
Tuesday-Luke 1.5-25: Jesus would have a forerunner, like the prophet Elijah, because this is what God said would take place. Notice how God’s love compels him to choose those the world may have forgotten. Notice the power of love when given to others.
Wednesday-Matthew 1.18-25: Love will have us not do what we may be “allowed” to do because of our love for another. How does Joseph show us God’s love?
Thursday-Luke 2.1-21: Love was born in the most simple and unannounced way. Yet, no other baby had angels declare His birth. When God moves all of creation notices.
Friday-Matthew 2.1-12: Magi from afar come to pay tribute to Jesus, the rightful King of all. Love and hatred magnify these verses and our lives. How will you show love?
Saturday-John 1.1-18: God is here. Love has won. Darkness cannot overcome it; light wins! Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone.
