Summary: God’s work in us and for us is continual from the moment of our birth to the moment of our death - and beyond. One form of God’s grace is when he takes the initiative to bring us to him. |
|
Summary: God summoned Abram, with his wife Sarai, to leave family and home behind so that they might be parents of a great nation and a blessing to the entire world. However, even as they left their home, they also left behind those who must have grieved their leaving and marked their separation with tears. Pursuing the vocations that God has laid out before us comes with sacrifice, even as it comes with countless, unseen, unnoticed blessings. |

Summary: Nicodemus was thoroughly confused by what Jesus told him about being born a second time. He couldn’t get the concept. But eventually, after the crucifixion, Nicodemus shows up to help bury Jesus. He has begun to understand, at least on some level, what being born a second time means. He may never have totally understood the concept, but eventually he got the point.
And so can we. We don’t need to wait until we comprehend every concept of Christianity. It’s enough to get the point, and that is that Christ is for us.

Summary: God’s call can come to us at any age, in any circumstances. When it does come, there’s nothing to do but follow. |
|
Summary: Faith that isn’t continually renewed and refreshed fades away. And without living faith, there is no motivation to do all the good things we urge people to do. Refueling comes from Christ. |
|
Summary: Throughout the first 11 chapters of Genesis, humanity seems to divert God’s story again and again, finally reaching what seems a dead end with the story of Terah’s family. One son is dead. One son, Abram, and his wife, Sarai, have no children. The journey undertaken by the family ends short of Canaan. Dead end. But God is not deterred. God chooses and calls the Dead-End family, promising blessings for us all. |
|
Summary: Just like Abram and Sarai, we’re on a journey away from a curse and toward a blessing. Along the way, God may call us to ministry and mission at any stage of our lives. It may not be clear where we are going, but what is clear is that we should get up and go, whether on a physical journey, a spiritual journey or a bit of both. |
|
Summary: God calls Abram to a life of potential hardship, rife with risk and hazards. Offering divine blessing acknowledges the difficulty but promises divine companionship.
