Abiding in Christ: Hope, Community, and Eternal Preparation

Summary

In today's gathering, we celebrated the unique journey of Becky, one of our cherished missionaries, who has transitioned from being a missionary to becoming an integral part of our church family. Becky's story is a testament to the power of love and community, as she felt so embraced by our congregation during her furlough that she decided to join us as a member. As we continue to support her anti-trafficking ministry in South Asia, I encourage everyone to commit to praying for her, contribute financially, and warmly welcome her when she visits next month.

As we prepare for Easter, we are reminded of the significance of Jesus' resurrection and the hope it brings. Our services are scheduled for 7:30, 9:00, and 10:30, and we are encouraging as many as possible to attend the early service to make room for guests later in the morning. We have also created invitation cards with a QR code to help you invite friends and neighbors to join us for this special occasion.

Reflecting on the phrase, "Hurry, mom and dad are coming home," we explored the emotions it evokes—excitement or fear—depending on our actions. This parallels our anticipation of Jesus' return, as described in 1 John 2:28-29. The key is to abide in Him, living in a way that reflects His righteousness, so that we can face His return with confidence rather than shame.

The concept of abiding in Christ is crucial. It means remaining connected to Him, not just occasionally, but consistently. This connection empowers us to live righteously and prepares us for eternity. Our earthly lives are a practice for the eternal life to come, and we are called to live in obedience, not procrastination.

As we await Jesus' return, let us examine our lives and make necessary adjustments to ensure we are abiding in Him. Whether it's through daily devotion, fellowship, or worship, let us practice living in a way that reflects His love and grace. For those who have not yet surrendered their lives to Christ, the invitation is open to experience His saving grace and live with the hope of His return.

Devotional

Day 1: The Power of Community and Love
Becky's journey from being a missionary to becoming a cherished member of the church family illustrates the profound impact of community and love. Her story is a reminder that supporting missionaries goes beyond financial contributions; it involves prayer and personal connection. As Becky continues her anti-trafficking ministry in South Asia, the congregation is encouraged to embrace her with open hearts and hands, offering both spiritual and tangible support. This act of love and community not only strengthens her mission but also enriches the church's collective faith journey. [00:00]

Romans 12:10-13 (ESV): "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality."

Reflection: Who is someone in your community or church that you can reach out to this week with a gesture of love or support? How can you make this a regular practice?

Day 2: Inviting Others to Experience Resurrection Hope
As Easter approaches, the congregation is reminded of the hope and joy that Jesus' resurrection brings. This season is an opportune time to invite friends and neighbors to experience this hope. The church has provided invitation cards with a QR code to facilitate this outreach. By attending the early service, members can make room for guests later in the morning, ensuring that more people can hear the message of resurrection and hope. This act of hospitality and invitation is a tangible way to share the love of Christ with others. [12:46]

1 Peter 1:3-4 (ESV): "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you."

Reflection: Who is one person you can invite to an Easter service this year? How can you pray for them and prepare your heart to welcome them warmly?

Day 3: Living with Confidence in Anticipation of Christ's Return
The anticipation of Jesus' return should inspire believers to live with confidence, abiding in Him. This relationship with Christ is not occasional but a continuous connection that prepares us for eternity. By living in a way that reflects His righteousness, believers can face His return with confidence rather than shame. This involves examining one's life and making necessary adjustments to ensure a consistent and faithful walk with Christ. [31:58]

1 John 2:28-29 (ESV): "And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him."

Reflection: What is one area of your life where you feel you need to abide more closely in Christ? What practical steps can you take today to strengthen this connection?

Day 4: Practicing Righteousness as Preparation for Eternity
Abiding in Christ means living in His presence and practicing righteousness. Our earthly lives are a preparation for eternity, and believers are called to live in obedience, not procrastination. This involves a daily commitment to living out the values and teachings of Christ, allowing His love and grace to shape every aspect of life. By doing so, believers are not only preparing for eternity but also experiencing the fullness of life that Christ offers here and now. [46:31]

Colossians 3:1-4 (ESV): "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."

Reflection: What is one habit or practice you can incorporate into your daily routine to help you live more righteously? How can this habit prepare you for eternity?

Day 5: The Open Invitation to Surrender to Christ
The invitation to surrender to Christ is open to all. By accepting His grace, believers can face His return with confidence and hope, knowing that their lives are secure in Him. This surrender involves a willingness to let go of personal ambitions and desires, allowing Christ to lead and guide every aspect of life. It is an invitation to experience the fullness of His love and the assurance of eternal life. [56:38]

Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV): "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Reflection: What is one area of your life where you find yourself holding back from surrendering to Jesus? What would surrendering this area to Him actually look like in terms of daily habits?

Quotes

You know, Becky is one of our more than a dozen missionaries that we partner with all over the world. And Becky might be one of our most unique missionaries for a couple of reasons. One, she's been with us for a long time, and she's on her second assignment. We supported her for many years when she was in Africa. And then, you know, the last time that she was home, she felt like God was calling her to this anti-trafficking ministry in South Asia. [00:24:51] (30 seconds) Edit Clip

And we've had people from our church go and visit Becky there and see what she is doing. But that's not the only couple things that make her unique. Probably the other one is that she is part of our church family. That's not unique in and of itself. We've had plenty of people that have, you know, been going to church here and then felt God called them to, you know, go start orphanages in Zambia or go to Southeast Asia or other places. [00:26:34] (28 seconds) Edit Clip

Easter's coming up in two weeks, and it feels like it's already summer. I don't know how that happened. Easter's so late this year. But we're really excited about Easter. We've got a few things that we're doing. You may have driven by our building last night. Did anybody see kind of one of our, I'm not seeing any head nods. That's fine. I saw one. Okay, we've got a couple of you. [00:28:06] (19 seconds) Edit Clip

We've got a couple of things we're doing new this year just to kind of literally be a light in the midst of our community. One of those was put up last night, and another one's going to go up this week. Special thank you to Brian King for helping set that up, and Dylan Raines for helping put that together. We want to thank God for you. [00:28:50] (19 seconds) Edit Clip

And if you haven't seen those, drive by one evening over the next few weeks, and I think you will be encouraged and help us to focus on Jesus as we lead into and out of Easter. But a couple of things about that day. 7.30, 9, and 10.30 are our three services. Jessica said 300 people. We've actually, since we had written that script for her, redone some calculations, and we actually need 400 people at the 7.30 service. [00:29:46] (29 seconds) Edit Clip

And so if you thought you were going to get out of it, you're one of the extra hundred, all right? No, seriously, if you are available and able, that 7.30 service will be a family service, and we would love to invite you to come that morning, kick off Easter. It's almost sunrise service, maybe a little after. But we would love to have as many of our regular people at 7.30 as we can, because we do anticipate plenty of people at 9 and 10.30, and we want to save a seat for them, all right? [00:30:21] (30 seconds) Edit Clip

And we're handing these out as invite cards for you to give out to your friends and invite them to Easter. It's a perfect Sunday to invite somebody to church for the first time. And if you don't, you know, see a staff member or a team lifer that's holding these, you can stop by the welcome desk. We have plenty of them there for you. Grab a handful, hand them to your neighbors, invite them to people, and let's introduce as many people as we can to Jesus on Easter Sunday this year. [00:29:35] (28 seconds) Edit Clip

And God, I pray that you would help her to finish strong over these last few weeks. Before she comes home for a few months, God, I pray that you give her all the energy she needs to make it through that, Lord. And Lord, I just pray that you bring her home safely to her family here and that you'd help us to remember her often, to lift her up before your throne. [00:31:01] (21 seconds) Edit Clip

And Lord, I pray that you bless us as we do that by giving us a perspective about what you're doing around the world. Lord, I pray for each person that is here today that you would work in their lives in the way that you want to work in their lives. Lord, I pray for each person who is in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in the way that you are in
