What does a God-lived life look like? It looks like Jesus.
God became man and lived life in our place. Christ lived the perfect God-lived life. Living as a Christian, a little Christ, we have the privilege of demonstrating what God looks like in how we live our lives, in living lives that show God.
A GOD-LIVED LIFE STEWARDSHIP CHALLENGE
For the next four months, God’s Word will be challenging us, and we’ll be challenging one another to live a God-lived life. And that encompasses everything. We will be talking about a life of being a disciple, a life lived for others, a life of hospitality, and a life lived shrewdly.
Each month, we will be introduced to a challenge that we then prayerfully commit to carrying out the rest of the month. These challenges ask us—people who are moved by the grace of God and Jesus’ life and death in our place—to commit to acting on the encouragements to put the Word into practice. These challenges will be introduced by a special service and special Bible Study that takes place following the service.
How will we commit to the challenges? As individual members, we are going to fill out a different challenge card each month. This will help to involve our entire family of faith in the challenges and help us encourage each other in the challenges.
These cards will be collected in a special box. Your elders will take a look at them and hand them back to you at the end of each month. These cards will only be collected so that your elders can encourage you to keep up with your commitment as well as consider how we at SOTL can do our best to continue to promote and encourage stewardship of all kinds among our people.
Members can fill out cards as a family or individually. If you’d like more options for your commitment cards, click the link here.
May God bless us as we grow in his Word and in our lives of living it!
