[Sunday] Split Abundance - Generosity
Have no other Gods before me. What does this mean? We should fear love and trust in God above all things. God has created us in abundance, so rest.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: Generosity - Splitting Abundance
What makes you uncomfortable as we talk about stewardship and generosity? How is it tempting to make stewardship more about the law than grace?
Give a description of popular false gods in our generation. How does an idolatrous heart feel and behave toward each of these false Gods?
Read Luke 12:13-34. What question is first asked of Jesus? How does one miss out on the abundance of God?
How does Jesus respond to his question? What does he encourage us to see?

Generosity: What does this mean?
When we talk about stewardship and our money, it always seems like the law is being laid down with little hope aside from compliance. The same feeling can be said about the 10 commandments. But with all the hopelessness around, perhaps looking at the 10 commandments and our generosity though that old question of “What does this mean?” Can give us a vision of God’s abundance.

[Sunday] Sanctification - Forgiving Challenge
True freedom is experienced through sanctification, when we realize the sins and shame the enemy wanted to use to destroy us now becomes the means we use to not only destroy the enemy but bring others to freedom. This is Peter's story and ours as well.

Music isn’t the only source of harmonies. Stories, too, can harmonize, as this passage from the book of Mark illustrates so profoundly. The two healings that Christ performs complement one another. They’re juxtaposed. They’re intertwined. They’re meant to be read together…………………………….

[Sunday] Restoration - Forgiving Challenge
While Peter may still be pining over his past, Jesus is hyper-focused on pointing Peter towards the future. Jesus restores the original call He placed on his life. Not only does God forgive you, but God loves you.

[Sunday] Absolution - Forgiving Challenge
Jesus beautifully recreates Peter’s worst moment in order to show how Jesus is unafraid to enter into our worst moments, which gives us enough grace to cover even the worst parts of our stories.

[Sunday] Confession - Forgiving Challenge
Much like with Peter, Jesus invites all of us back into His presence through confession. But this practice simply shows Jesus positioning Himself to give us His grace, even if we don’t have the words to say how we feel.

Every single one of us misses the mark. As inventive, creative, and successful as humans can be in many aspects of life to overcome issues, the only way to overcome our sin is through Jesus.
