I am really excited about where we can go with this Refuel series, so for the next 2 weeks I am going to try to recap what we talked about during xperience and shoot it out through Facebook and our Blogspot.
Focus verse:
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God (Ephesians 3:19 NLT).
- we may never fully understand the ways of God but that won't keep us from fully receiving his grace and mercy.
- don't view the Christian journey like a cafeteria line where you feel like you need to pick out certain things or do certain things to draw you closer to God. Our God is a relational God and desires to be in relationship with us...kind of like a friend. “I no longer call you slaves… Now you are my friends” (John 15:15 NLT).
- It’s not about ritual, it’s about a relationship.It’s not about performance, it’s about presence.It’s not about a “show,” it’s about “show up.”It’s not “have to,” it’s about “want to.”It’s not about guilt, it’s about grace.It’s not about form, it’s about friendship.
- lets look for ways to connect with God instead of making sure our "church checklist" is complete.
Next week we'll look at some practical ways to connect with God.
You guys are loved...have a good week.
