In today's gathering, we celebrated the transformative power of God's love and the importance of living according to His divine guidance. We rejoiced over the decisions made by individuals to follow Jesus, acknowledging the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Our focus was on the necessity of building our lives on the solid foundation of God's ways, rather than our own, to withstand life's storms. We delved into the story of Peter at the Last Supper, where Jesus washed his feet, teaching us the blessings that come from obedience to God's ways.
We explored the concept of hope and the importance of playing the long game with a perspective rooted in Christ. We were reminded to ignore the voices of critics and cynics and to listen to the voice of God, as exemplified by Abraham's obedience, which led to blessings for generations to come. We discussed the story of Boaz and Ruth, highlighting the significance of doing things the right way, God's way, and the pitfalls of selfishness.
The sermon culminated in the revelation of Jesus as our ultimate model for living the long game, the right way, God's way. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection were presented as the ultimate acts of love and redemption, empowering us to live according to God's will. We were invited to accept Jesus' act of love and to receive salvation through faith, not by works.
