NEW SERMON SERIES STARTS THIS SUNDAY- APRIL 12th:
Is Doubt the opposite of Faith? Is God afraid of our questions? NO! Rather than suppressing uncertainty in our Spiritual Journey, approaching the LORD with our fears and uncertainty can lead to a more profound, personal conviction.

CHASING GOD- from "You Version" Bible Plan- Day 7

Where are you going?

No matter where we’re going at any given moment, it helps to have a destination in mind.

The problem with the world around us, however, is that we’re bombarded with things we ought to do. We ought to chase fame and approval and everything else. With so many destinations coming at us, it’s no surprise how many of us are left stunned, looking for direction in life.

If we’re only capable of going toward one destination at a time, what should that destination be?

Hebrews 12:1-3 makes that clear. We’re to fix our eyes on Jesus. When we run toward Him, we gain not just Him, but everything else we need. He paid the penalty for our sins. He secured for us everlasting life. He provides for us every day. And He’s transforming us to become the people we were created to be.

But how do you run toward Christ? You do what He did.

Prayer. When Jesus needed to recharge after days spent speaking to crowds, He sought out His Father. When He was in distress in the Garden of Gethsemane, He cried out to His Father. Prayer keeps us connected to Christ.

People. We were created to live in relationship with other people. Jesus surrounded Himself with people throughout His time here, challenging them and encouraging them in their faith. You’ll probably chase whatever the people you spend the most time with are chasing. So, spend some time with people who are chasing God.

Serving. Jesus came to earth to serve—He said so Himself. He did so in ways big and small, and He ended His ministry with the ultimate service—sacrificing His life for ours. When we serve those around us, we chase God by doing what Jesus did.

Fasting. Whether Jesus was fasting from food in the desert, or from time around people when He went away to find silence and solitude, Jesus, the Son of God, knew even He needed to temporarily remove things from His life to chase after God. What can you occasionally remove to chase God?

The Word. Jesus had a head start on this—as John 1 says, Christ literally was the Word of God in human form. One of the best ways we can know Christ is spending regular time reading, meditating on, and contemplating God’s direction for us in the Bible.

Act: Which of the above will you take action on in your life? When will you start?

CHASING COMFORT- from "You Version" Bible Plan- Day 6

Whether we’re stressed, hurt, tired, lonely, or just bored, we all find ourselves at times chasing comfort. Who hasn’t overspent, overeaten, overslept, overdrunk, and overestimated the ability of stuff to actually deliver lasting comfort?

The word “comfort” has its own complicated history. It comes from two Latin word parts, com-, which means “together with,” and fortis, which means “strong or strength.” Later, the Latin word confortare came to mean “to strengthen much.” Eventually, an Old French word, conforter, added words like “solace” and “help” to the definition. In the 14th century, another French word conforten was defined as “to cheer up, console.” Finally, by the 17th century, the English version of the word began to imply the sense of physical ease that we understand today.

Why does this matter? In about a millennium, the word “comfort” went from meaning, “together-strength,” to meaning “pain-barrier.”

Do you see God as your strength, together with you in the midst of pain, or as your barrier from pain?

The prophet Isaiah foretold of a Messiah who would enter our world to be wounded for our transgressions and suffer for our healing. If the very nature of our faith is to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, then let us consider His response to pain. In 1 Peter 2:21-25, we see a Savior who accepted pain quietly despite having done nothing to earn it. Jesus does not avoid pain or look for a scapegoat; He comes into our world and makes our pain His pain.

Jesus is together-strength. Then, before He goes back to be with the Father, He promises us that the Holy Spirit —a “Comforter”—would not only be together with us, but in us! That’s something worth chasing.

So, let’s not chase the worldly version of comfort—bingeing Netflix series with our trusty friends Ben & Jerry. Instead, let’s pursue comfort from the Holy Spirit, knowing that it doesn’t mean a pain-free life but comfort in the middle of pain.

Pray: God, I don’t like discomfort, but I love You. Please change my understanding of Your comfort, and help me to really feel it. Holy Spirit, show me how Your “together-strength” is with me and in me. Jesus, thank You for bearing my shame on the cross. Amen.
