Hey Centennial,
When was the last time you found yourself wondering to yourself,
What was I thinking?
Let’s be honest, we all do and say things that (especially in hindsight) are clearly foolish. So, how do we change? What does it take to grow and mature and (hopefully, please Lord!) make fewer of these “what was I thinking?” mistakes? In the end of Matthew 21 Jesus references a phrase that – as far as I can tell – might be the key to answering that question. He says that this journey of living with a little less regret and a little more wisdom has been called
The Way of Righteousness.
What does it look like to live in the way of righteousness? Great question. That is the question we are going to try and answer together this Sunday. But be warned.
It requires us to hold a number of things in tension with one another.
Fortunately, God promises that his Spirit will give us all we need to hold this space and tension. May we be up to living in this high, high calling.
Eager to worship as a community this weekend!
Grace and peace,
Karl
