Join us for our new series where we walk through the Gospel of Mark and seek ways to prepare the “soil” of our hearts. Using the parable of the sower in Mark 4 as a metaphor for creating room in our lives for God’s seeds to take root, we will be examining the life of Jesus and Romans 12:1-2 to bring us closer to God and each other. Join us anyway you can to journey with Jesus and cultivate our faith this year.
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for God. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what God wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
