Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise

Matthew and Luke’s gospels tell us that the followers of Jesus asked him how to pray. In answer, Jesus taught them to pray and he did this by offering a prayer we call the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer not only teaches how to pray, it opens us to the things for which Christ would have us pray. The Lord’s Prayer is divided into sections. It begins with an introduction, followed by seven petitions, then ends with a doxology.

What is keeping you from living into the fullness of life God desires for you?  Jesus invites you to come to the well of living water and discover that the God of the universe accepts you as you are. Come and meet the one who knows you inside and out and loves you anyway.  Come and meet the one who will teach you what life is really about.  Come and meet the one who will quench your burning thirst with living water.  Come and meet the one who bathes you in healing water, showers you with love and forgiveness and sets you free!  You do not have to hide any longer.  Come, meet this Jesus who loves you so much he will go to the cross for you.  Come, live into the life God calls you to live, life that truly matters.  And, yes, this life is all gift!!!

The Apostles’ creed ends where it begins – with the gift of abundant life.  As creator, God gave us life as a sheer gift.  As redeemer, Jesus Christ took our lives from the clutches of sin. As Spirit, God ushers us into a community of faith where life is lived to the fullest (even in the midst of suffering and death) and where the promise of endless new life is ever before us.

There is a deep, gnawing hunger for love and there is a deep, gnawing hunger for God in our culture and in the world.  And, the good news is that, in the person of Jesus, we discover a God who loves this broken, God-hating world and our very broken selves so deeply that no one can escape God’s all-encompassing, unconditional love.
