Message Series – The Character of the Kingdom
We often talk about “reflecting the character of Jesus” or “being formed into the image and likeness of Jesus.” These kinds of phrases are meant to show that the Christian life really is about following the way of Jesus and learning to live in his way of life. And as we do that, by God’s grace, we are transformed into people who begin to reflect his character.
But what are some specifics of what that character looks like?
When we read the gospels, we are presented with story after story and teaching after teaching of Jesus living out and explaining the life he’s inviting us into. We can’t cover every characteristic in a sermon series, but over the next few weeks we’re going to take a look at a few of them.
In Luke 17-18 there is a section that many Christian churches around the world will be teaching through this month (most of our passages are Lectionary gospel lessons for October if you’re interested in that sort of thing). And in this section of scripture, we find a few golden stories illustrating what kinds of characteristics belong in the kingdom way of life that Jesus is leading us into.
So, if you’re interested in allowing God to form the “same mind that was in Christ Jesus” in you, then make sure to spend the next 4 weeks at Real Life Community as we dive into some character issues: Gratitude, Persistence, Humility & Childlikeness.
See you Sunday at 9:30 or 11am!
