Risked it
“Above all, I see an increased hunger in Christians to change things, a willingness to take Jesus at his word, an increased ambition to make a difference and a reluctance to settle for anything less than the complete transformation of the church, their communities and the world in Jesus' name.”
— Emma Ineson
What might your own walk with Jesus look like in a few years’ time? How might your faith grow, your relationships deepen, and your influence bring change where you are?
Pity the Fool
King Solomon was not only an ancestor of Jesus, he was also known for being the King of Israel who built the first Temple in Jerusalem. With his exceptional wisdom, he is credited as the main author of the book of Proverbs. Over this series, we’ll examine Judges, Kings, and even those trying to usurp the throne, in the lineage leading up to Solomon—figures who made foolish choices in their walk with God that may have helped to inspire Solomon’s wisdom literature. As we look at aspects of foolishness and paths of wisdom, may we learn from these characters and discern how we can avoid making the same mistakes in our own lives.
Reset
Life can be a blur, and we end up on cruise control. We do the same things, think the same thoughts, and never feel fully alive. We want to hit the reset button and dial back in to the joy and truth we find in Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may we feel empowered and energised for “eyes wide open” living!
