Resurrection Life Church

Jesus came to serve and not be served.  That's what He told His disciples over 2000 years ago and He is still telling us to do the same.  Even in the Old Testament the nation of Israel rose to the occasion to serve one another when they were under the onslaught of the enemy.  The Prophet Nehemiah call God's people to rise up and build.  They were to build the wall at their own home and make sure they served and worked with each other to insure the safety of the entire nation.  We are to do no less but greater than they did as followers of Jesus Christ.

Our world has gone insane, crazy, and losing it's collective mind.  Good is evil and evil is good.  Right is wrong and wrong is right.  Up is down and down is up.  The world has been turned upside down.  As followers of Jesus how are we to live in the days of evil?  Simply put, look at Jesus.  Keep our eyes on Him.  Listen to Him.  Walk with Him.  Converse with Him.  His strength, His Joy, His Hope, His peace will guard our heart and mind, if we Look at Him.

The world is going crazy, many might think and believe.  However, the world has been going crazy for a long time.  But what's coming in the near future is way beyond our thinking and understanding.  That is why it is paramount that we have the wisdom of God to live our lives with power and strength that only comes from Him.  The wisdom of this world has produced a world in which we are finding it harder and harder everyday to function and live in.  Wars, moral decay, the onslaught of AI, and much more.  The disciple James tells us how to live in this world and if we call on God in faith He will give us the wisdom to not just survive in this world but to thrive in it.

Faith is not just a noun or just a verb.  They are both.  You may ask how can they be both?  You see you can't have faith without works but works are a result of your faith.  Faith in Jesus, not your works.  Works done for your glory or the glory of man will only lead to religious piety.  Works as a result of our faith in Jesus because we love Him and people, will have reward but the reward is inconsequential.  We do because of who we belong to.  We do because it is who we are.  We don't find our identity in what we do but because of who we are and who He is in us we, do.  We work.  We believe.  We have faith and we do faith!

The world has gone mad, crazy, and is out of control many say.  But what does God say about the crazy mixed up world?  In the midst of the storms of life He is there to comfort us.  To calm us in the middle of the storm, not to necessarily calm the storm.  The Apostle Paul dealt with a time at the church in Corinth where they needed comforting and who did God use?  A person.  An imperfect person.  A person with flaws, but a person who sought after God and in so doing was able to bring comfort to the church at Corinth.  Who was that person, Titus.  As God comforts us we must comfort others.  You can give away what you don't have.  Position yourself in a way where God's comfort and overwhelm you instead of life doing it.
