The Word Goes Forth
God's Word Is Reliable AND Active
The Word Goes Forth
Epiphany traditionally celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the world. This series expands that: Jesus’ entire public ministry is the Word going forth—calling, healing, teaching, welcoming, feeding, confronting, and ultimately being glorified. And now, the Word goes forth through us.
The Word that was promised (Advent), that became flesh and dwelled among us (Christmas), now goes forth—speaking, acting, healing, calling, revealing. Epiphany traditionally celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the world (the Magi), and this theme extends that: Jesus’ public ministry IS the Word going forth into every corner of human experience.
Ash Wednesday, February 18
Ash Wednesday says: "Stop. Before you go further, you need to be shaped."
Epiphany’s Question:
“How does the Word go forth into the world?”
Answer: Through calling, healing, teaching, welcoming, etc.—and ultimately through us as we embody these practices.
Lent’s Question:
“How are we shaped to become people through whom the Word can go forth?”
Answer: Through surrender, formation, pruning, dying to self—so the Word can truly dwell in us and flow through us.
Ash Wednesday’s Role:
The pivot point. The hinge. The threshold.
Something Is Happening
Taking Shape
If you pay attention, you can’t miss what God is doing with our youth! Witness as our youth are learning to recognize the manner in which God is shaping us all through the lessons of life, refining and strengthening their faith and character.
As Christians, our youth represent the raw, imperfect material that is being refined and reshaped. Whether the image is that of The Potter and the Clay, Running a Race and pressing on toward the goal like that in Philippians 3:12-14 or being rehaped into a New Image (Ephesians 4:22-24), the goal is not to destroy the person but to forge them into something useful, durable, and beautiful.
To humbly submit to God’s refining work rather than resist it is what it means to Be Shaped On The ANVIL.
Growing In Our Faith
Bible Study
The Gospel According to Luke
The Gospel Of Luke
Encounter the heartbeat of Jesus, who seeks and saves the lost.
Luke’s interest in people is undeniable. Much of what we encounter in Luke’s gospel involves Jesus’s interactions with individuals: the best and the worst; saints and sinners; women and children. Like Matthew and Mark, Luke recorded the incident of a woman coming to pour perfume on Jesus’s feet. But Luke was the only gospel writer to point out the fact known to all present what type of woman was touching Jesus (Luke 7:37-39). Understanding Jesus through Luke’s Gospel reveals our Christ as The One to minister and show compassion to all people, no matter who they were or where they were from.
