“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” When we take time to look at something from every angle, we often discover things we never noticed before. The story of Easter is one we return to again and again because it is the story of salvation. The story of promises kept and promises fulfilled. And yet, despite its power, this story is one we are overly familiar with. We often hear it, but don’t listen. We look at the cross and tomb, but don’t see them. We know it with our minds, but maybe it doesn’t reach our hearts, our bones, our souls. We...

Everyday, Jesus - James 4:13-17 - Tim Holley
The Journey West County
> During the Advent season, we spent five weeks reflecting on the idea of beholding Jesus. Seeing Jesus in all his glory, splendor, and wonder. But as we expected, the Christmas season is done and now we must get back to our everyday lives. Working, parenting, and trying to be a good neighbor and friend. The questions that were circulating before the Christmas season or maybe in the midst of it, are still there: “How do I follow Jesus in suffering? How do I see my neighbor the same way that God sees me? How do I become a person of integrity? What do...

info_outline"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah, came to earth to usher people into the kingdom of God. This kingdom was counter to Israel's expectations; it wasn't about building through political power and military might but instead about restoring a kingdom that was always intended in the garden. In this garden city, there was meant to be relationship and harmony with God and the entire created order. Through the saving work of Jesus, he inaugurates this city of God.
But stepping back into God's city or kingdom requires an entire recalibration of our identity, purpose, relationships, and vision for our lives. This isn't a future recalibration but is for the here and now as we learn to be citizens of a new kind of city. Jesus' salvation brings a future hope of one day going to heaven and a present reality of bringing heaven down wherever his people are found.
Over the next three months, we seek to understand that Jesus' saving work isn't merely a story, a theological framework, or a list of moral values but a way of life. As his apprentices, our responsibility is to follow him wherever he leads.
