Now, part 3: In The Game
We all have issues to confront and decisions to make. We do our best. We don’t jump out of the gate loaded with experience and having the right answers. The Lord isn’t concerned about that. He is willing to develop us. It is his intention to move us from incompetence to competence by trying stuff. He is not interested in having us sit on the bench waiting while other people minister with excellence. He knows that we don’t get proficient without practice. We are in the game now! It’s His game. We don’t rely on our competence. We rely on the game’s author to work even while we practice.
From Series: "Now"
The Gospel of Luke is Luke’s biography of the life of Jesus up to His ascension. This 5-week series kicks off the book of Acts, which is Luke’s recording of the Acts of the Apostles, beginning with Jesus’ marching orders for the disciples before He leaves. This series is centered on what has changed and the reality NOW that we see God’s plan for salvation accomplished in Jesus, and Now that Jesus is in Heaven and the Holy Spirit has been sent to power the continuing mission. Clearly connecting is a great summary of the Chrisitan life. How does the Gospel connect with real life and real people? How will we be prepared to give an account to others of the life we know and experience in Jesus? These 5 weeks begin during the season of Easter, includes Pentecost Sunday, and ends with Holy Trinity Sunday.
