Chances are, if we are honest, we have a “Jesus and” understanding of the gospel. We have it in our minds that to be saved one must come forward at the end of a worship service, shake the preacher’s hand, pray a formalized and authorized sinner’s prayer (the “repeat after me” kind of prayer), take a new believer's class on baptism, then get baptized in a very specific and denominationally pre-approved way.

On the cross, however, Jesus presents a radically different contrast to these notions. For one, he promises Paradise to the thief beside him simply because he asked, “...remember me.” More astonishingly, he prays for forgiveness for the very ones who are killing him! They haven’t even asked for forgiveness! 

Is it possible that salvation is more about what Jesus does, and not about what I do? 

How can these amazing moments upon the cross reshape our thinking about salvation? How do they change the way we view the lost and unbelieving people around us? How do these words motivate us toward the sinful people in our lives who, perhaps, have even hurt us personally?

“Be My Valentine?" 

The 14th of February is a day that candy stores, florists, and card companies all truly LOVE! Even here in Germany this red and pink holliday is growing in popularity as an expression of romance, an excuse to ask someone on a date, and as a way to guilt your beloved into buying you flowers! 

But is that what Saint Valentine was really all about? Who was he and what can we learn from his life? A closer look points us in a different direction focused less on romance and more on the brotherly and sisterly love that Christians should have for one another. It reminds us that Jesus clearly commanded us to love each other just as he loves us.

We sing a lot of songs about loving Jesus. But do we? Do we really have him at the center of our hearts? Today we will wrestle with these questions as we consider the challenge to truly loving Jesus. We will also try to gain a better understanding of that famous phrase, “Give Your Heart To Jesus,” as we ask, “What does that even mean?!”

It’s Time To Return 👏
We often think of the prodigal son parable in Luke’s gospel as being about absolute abandonment, of someone completely running away from God. So, perhaps some find it hard to connect with such an extreme example of running from God. 🏃‍♂️
In truth, however, most of us are casually prodigal every day. We have not completely run off, but we are absent from God in lots of little ways. ☝
Maybe we haven’t even run away from home at all, but are living passively and disconnected in our relationship, a relationship in which we have grown complacent.
It’s time to return and recommit our relationship to the Lord. Revival in your life begins with your first step home. 🙏
