Stories & Celebrations of God's Work
Stories & Celebrations of God's Work
This Spring, we are tracing the movements of the Biblical Story, seeking to be formed by God and His Word. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story, he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story and invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission until he returns to make all things new. This week, we're pausing in our series to acknowledge the work that God is doing and to recount stores of his restoration and renewal among the body.
Community Discussion
Read John 3:16-17. Recount the ways that Jesus, the True Hero of the Story, has been showing up in your story of sin or suffering?
Name the things you still long for Jesus to heal and restore in your story or those around you. Ask the Spirit to keep writing a story of redemption.
Jesus has come to give eternal life, and part of that means the resurrection life right now. Where are you living under your own strength and need to repent? Confess and repent together, asking God where he might be inviting you to live in the power of the Spirit right now.
Who in your life needs to know the good news that Jesus has come to save them? How can you bring the blessing of God’s presence to bear on their life? Pray for them as a community and respond in expectant faith to what the Spirit is prompting you to do!
