Devotion described the earliest Christians. Now we might only describe the most serious Christians as "devoted". Much of our life and culture conspire to make our lives about anything other than Christ. Many Christians haven't challenged the basic assumptions about what or who we value, what we prioritize and how we live...and, without noticing, Christ was removed from the center of our lives. ...we have become devoted to something else.

Every decision to improve or transform ourselves involves an entire host of choices. If we want to exercise in the morning we have to make choices about going to bed at night. If we want to be generous we have to make choices about how we spend our time. Unless we're prepared for ALL the decisions that are involved we're not going to make any transformations. Join us as we explore 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and we ask ourselves the question - do we have what it takes?

(Note, the recording starts a few minutes after the message. If you read Psalm 8 you'll get the idea.)  Wonder is not only knowing that God is loving, powerful and good but knowing the He is those things beyond our ability to comprehend. That space between what we know and what we believe is the wonder that fuels our praise our worship and our relationship with God.

Pointing out someone's blindspots can feel like walking through a field of land mines. If you step in the wrong spot... However, sometimes love means having difficult conversations. As disciples, we need to overhaul our idea of gracious, loving confrontation.
