So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. (Col. 2:6-7 NIV)
Have you received Jesus as Lord? The word Lord means master, leader, ruler and the one who commands us. When we receive Jesus as Lord, we have a different source in which we draw our direction in life. Something changes in the way we view the world. We shift from a self-centered approach to life to a God-centered approach that spans beyond this life. The shift goes from me building my little kingdom for my sake to building into something bigger, growing the kingdom of Jesus for His sake. I would like to challenge us to be a part of the bigger story, using your gifts and influence to build an everlasting kingdom for Jesus our Lord.
It is always encouraging to hear the story of others who have made Jesus Lord of their life. Check out these stories http://www.iamsecond.com/

This Sunday we are looking at the growth aspect of our vision statement….. Grow intentionally, transformed by the love of Christ and others. Come ready to be challenged and hear from people just like you who are growing in their walk with Jesus. Read Colossians 2:6-10 in preparation for Sunday.
See you Sunday,
Alex
