The Bible narrative is often referred to as ‘the story of the bible’ or ‘the greatest story ever told’. Beginning in Genesis 1, we are indeed witness to a marvelous series of events. But as the story continues on and things go very awry, in what part of that story do we fit? What part do we play? During this Holy Week, let’s look at the storyline from creation to the cross - the what and the why of Jesus’ sacrifice.

The Journey: Become - Mission Impossible? | Genesis 1 - Gene Curtis

The challenge last week was to determine a 'starting point' for the journey to become who God wants you to be. How’d it go? Having faith in Jesus does not in any way make us sinless, but rather the recipient of God’s promises, his special favor and of grace, knowledge, self-control, patience and endurance - all the things that lead us closer to Him and to a more genuine love for others. That’s a good starting point for everyone.

The Journey: Become - Starting Point | 2 Peter 1:3-11 - Mike Allison

Psalm 51 recounts the desperate condition of David's heart after his sin with Bathsheba. "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins."  vs. 1   David is crying out to God, confessing all his shame and regret. Because he knows God intimately, he also knows God hears him and forgives him. Do you know God like this? Trust Him like this? The world's perspective is that we are essentially 'good', but if you have looked in the mirror or sat alone with your own thoughts for even a minute, you know that to be untrue. So what is your 'starting point' for your journey to become who God wants you to be?

The Journey: Become | Kyrie Eleison - Psalm 51; Mike Allison

God had a good plan (an amazing plan, actually). He spoke into being the heavens, the sea & the sky, the land and all the animals. It was filled with beautiful and wondrous things. Of all this beauty, you and I are his pièce de résistance. Even though the world he created has changed, He hasn't. How are you pursuing and cultivating your relationship with God? Are you intentionally seeking growth in your understanding and worship of Him?

The Journey: Become | Genesis 1:26-28

‘Dear friends’, ‘those who are worthy of high honor’ and ‘brothers and sisters in Christ.’ Paul greets these men and women in a way that is unmistakable. Their commitment to him, his ministry and to spreading the good news of Jesus is evident and he expresses his love and admiration for them. Can you relate to Paul? Are there people who faithfully walk beside you in life and in faith?
