the big idea: At the end of another year it’s easy to feel weary of same old, same old. Same old job, same old stresses and pressures in life, same old personal struggles. But here’s the deal. God’s blessings to us are new every morning. As we grow in him through Word and sacrament, he promises that he will make us new, that he will give us new power, new hope, new love and new purpose so that our spirits are revived once again.
In this series will take a deeper look at a number of the miracles Jesus performed. We will marvel at the new things Jesus did in these peoples’ lives. We will also find new life, joy and excitement as we begin to see more clearly all the amazing things that Jesus continues to do in our lives.
“I am making everything new” (Revelation 21:5) – Jesus
Struggling with the sin inside, living in a self-centered society, it’s way too easy for us to go through life accomplishing little of lasting value. When Jesus is the Lord of my life, that all changes.
without Jesus, we have no idea what love really is. Jesus shows us what real love—committed, unconditional, self-sacrificing love—is and through his sacrifice Jesus pours this love into our hearts.
Every word that flows from Jesus’ lips, every miracle he performs speaks hope to our lives. We have a Savior who can raise the dead! What more hope do we need? Luke 7
