Doing Something New | FOR
Guest Pastor: Matt Schuler, Journey Lutheran Church, Oxford, MI
DOING SOMETHING NEW sometimes requires UNLEARNING SOMETHING OLD.
What can a group of church planters learn from an episode of BLUEY?
What we don’t KNOW, we are invited to LEARN.
John 1: Jesus calls Philip and Nathanael – (pg. 1,647)
FOLLOW ME leads to COME AND SEE.
John 4: Jesus and the Woman of Samaria. – (pg. 1,651)
KNOWING leads to SHARING.
Luke 19: Jesus and Zacchaeus. (pg. 1,630)
INVITATION leads to TRANSFORMATION
Under the fig tree, by the well, in the sycamore tree…
Jesus SEES them. Jesus KNOWS them. Jesus INVITES them.
Jesus invites them to unlearn something OLD and to do something NEW.
They BELONG. They BELIEVE. They BECOME.
Are you under the fig tree….by the well…in the sycamore tree?
Jesus sees YOU. Jesus knows YOU. Jesus invites YOU.
“Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirt of your minds; and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4:22-24
Who is someone for you to SEE….to KNOW….to INVITE?
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.” – Ephesians 4:25
Here’s to DOING SOMETHING NEW.
