Big Idea: Jesus invites all into the Kingdom of Heaven and empowers us to participate in His reign.
Application: What have you centered your life around?
This week, consider establishing a Rule of Life. A Rule of Life is simply a set of intentional practices and rhythms that you commit to, weekly, monthly, and/or annually, that help orient your life toward Jesus.
Think of a Rule of Life as a trellis, a structure that helps ensure healthy growth. These practices create intentional space for the Holy Spirit to form us into the likeness of Jesus to develop deep roots in Christ and orient our lives upward toward God.
- Maybe it's a daily time in Scripture and prayer.
- Maybe it's practicing Sabbath.
- Maybe it's intentionally sharing a meal with other believers each week.
- Maybe it's committing to a small community where you can be known and challenged.
- Maybe it's generosity, hospitality, silence, solitude, or serving your neighbors.
The goal is to become a people centered on Jesus, becoming like Jesus, living together as His family, and participating in His Kingdom under His reign.
