World on Fire

Jun 17, 2020

Pursuing the way Jesus means responding to the brokenness of our fallen world Kingdom empathy and Gospel hope. 

Scripture:

Revelation 7:9 (ESV): After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

John 13:35 (ESV): By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Matthew 28:19 (ESV): ...make disciples of all the nations...

Micah 6:8 (ESV): He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Romans 3:10–12 (ESV): 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;  no one does good,
not even one.”

James 1:19 (ESV): Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Reflection Questions:

• Is this how the world sees and experiences you?
• Do people mostly hear you talk about your political passions or your gospel convictions?
• Do your words and actions point people to Christ alone or suggest the real hope for this fallen world is found elsewhere?
