Transformation Jacksonville - City

Learn to disconnect sometimes.

You've been stressing so much. You've been drowning with negative voices a lot.

You need to pause. Take a day or two. Let God remind you again of His promises for you.

The more you disconnect in the world, the louder the voice of God will get.

Why are we seeing movements of transformation all over the world? Why are we seeing prayer stirred and provoked all over the world? Why are people being called to lay everything down and surrender their lives so they can see God move in a mighty way? Friends, we live in a day, a transitional generation, in which God is going to do something in our time. This is a kairos moment. Set yourself apart for Him and "Shout, for the Lord has given you the city."

The blessings of time, talent, and treasure, which we all have in different measures, ought to be used to give every person the opportunity to flourish in body and soul just as God intended.

Compelled by the gospel, we connect resources and volunteers to address issues of poverty through the urban Jacksonville Christian church.

The goal of life is to let the love of Jesus overwhelm you until you see yourself and everyone else through the lens of his radical, sacrificial love.

God is transforming Jacksonville with His ❤️!

Often opportunities come disguised as obedience. Do the hard but right thing today and see what doors God might open.

OBEDIENCE
Psalm 119:34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.

“Everyone has heard of your obedience, so I am full of joy over you”. (Romans 16:19) Could your spiritual leaders say that about your church?

Prayer: Holy Father, give me understanding so that I can wholeheartedly walk in obedience to your ways. Empower me to love you enough to obey your commands every day. (John 14:15) Together, may our obedience to Christ bring joy to our spiritual leaders.

Intimacy starts with a guilt-free, condemnation-free, shame-free conscience that’s at rest because of the blood of Jesus when we say “yes” to Him.

HEALING OF HINDRANCES TO INTIMACY WITH GOD
Hebrews 3:12-13 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

What stands in the way of your walking in intimacy with God? Is your heart hardened by sin’s deceitfulness?

Prayer: Gentle Savior, heal my heart. Help me to draw near to you today. Thank you for my brothers and sisters in Christ that encourage me today.

God has placed us in this city, and he calls us to be his disciples here. Look around Jacksonville and the First Coast. Pray for our city and for the people in it. Most of all, pray for the lives you touch, that God will use you to help them find and follow Jesus.

The cross - not my circumstances - is the demonstration of God’s love. (see Rom. 5:8)

WILLINGNESS TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OTHERS

Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Selfish ambition and looking out for our own interests seem so natural in today’s world. But it is not God’s way. Ask the Lord to make you aware of any heart issues that do not line up with this truth from God’s word.

Prayer: Gracious Lord, forgive my selfishness. We earnestly pray, “Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” (Philippians 2:2) Holy Spirit, empower us to lay down our lives for others. Together, let our humility be a witness to the world.

Bitterness is often anger that’s aged. If you went to sleep angry - and we all have at some point - you wake up in it. It’s a new day. Do the work on your end to process it with the Lord and perhaps another trusted soul. Don’t steep in it. It’s a trap.

PUT AWAY ANGER AND BITTERNESS
Ephesians 4:30-32 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Bitterness and anger grieve the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness is the remedy.

Prayer: Lord, the command from your Word is clear. But I fall so far short of staying free of anger. Forgive me. Empower me to forgive. Together, make my church a place were we are kind and compassionate to one another.

“The study of theology, rightly pursued, becomes a spiritual exercise that leads into the heart of God, out of which flows his Gospel to a lost world he ever seeks to save.” - Robert E. Coleman

Spiritual and social impact means rooting ourselves in the heart and hands of God. We pray and get in line with his heart and will for all people, and then make moves to join Him in His work.
