Encounter With Jesus-His Identity And Love
john : September 29, 2015 3:47 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Connection, today’s Encounter with Jesus examines His identity and love.
The Apostle John was one of the key witnesses to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
He wrote in First John 4:14, “We have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.”
Jesus came to the world to be our Savior. He specifically came to save His people from their sins. We belong to His family through faith in His name.
Jesus also came as God’s One and Only Son. The voice of the Father came from heaven at the baptism of Jesus to say, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased.”
Jesus also came as God’s gift and the fullest expression of His love that this world has ever known. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
A daily connection with Christ reinforces our trust in His love and identity.

Relationship Building Principle-Seek the LORD
john : September 23, 2015 4:50 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – Today’s Relationship-Building Principle comes from Isaiah 55:6 and 7.
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Billy Graham says that no sin is too big or too small for God to forgive. He says all people have to do is repent with open hearts and accept His forgiveness. At Christian today dot com, this is the passage that he quotes to shed light on God’s approach to forgiveness.
Recognizing our need for forgiveness is the starting place to get right with God. We are sinners in need of a God who can rescue us from our sin. As we recognize the purpose of the cross, we come to understand that there is power in the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sin. God’s pardon frees us from our guilt and clears the way for us to have a relationship with God. Faith in Jesus Christ opens the door for this relationship to thrive. He is our turning point to experiencing the forgiveness of God.
Forsaking wicked ways and turning to the Lord are vital relationship-building principles to take to heart in the Year of Connection.

Relationship Building Principle-Pursuing The Spiritual Drifter
john : September 16, 2015 5:20 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – Today’s Relationship-Building Principle comes from James 5:19 and 20.
“My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.”
The Gospel is a message of restoration. We have kept God at an arm’s length by our sinfulness, but God pursues us to save us from our sins and restore us to Him. God’s grace is the remedy for this separation.
Whenever we see someone wander from God, that is our opportunity to reach out to them with God’s love. Sometimes, a person who wanders away feels judged by the church. They might feel the sting of gossip or the weight of condemnation. What they need is grace that extends patience and kindness. Henry Ward Beecher said that “compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.”
Is there a person you can identify who needs the pursuit of grace?
Pursuing the spiritual drifter with God’s grace is a vital relationship-building principle to take to heart in the Year of Connection.
