Fix Your Eyes

Tough As Nails

What if our faith was characterized by fearlessness, humility, confidence in Jesus, and love of others? Imagine how that would change the world around us.

The New Testament records that early Christians didn’t fear loss. They were selfless and confident. They weren’t arrogant or self-confident. They were humble because their confidence wasn’t in themselves; it was in Jesus. That faith in who Jesus was and what he had done for them freed them to boldly love others. Does our faith look like that? How would it change our world if it did?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:1–2

In the Beginning

Tough As Nails

We see daily news reports about violence and unrest everywhere. The world can feel like a dangerous place. Surrounded by uncertainty, it’s difficult not to be afraid. But Jesus offers us another option.

This week’s sermon from North Point church in Atlanta reminded us that uncertainty is certain, but fear is optional.

Here’s the link for In the Beginning

Andy posed three essential questions for Jesus followers to meditate on in the week ahead:

  1. Is my version of Christianity worth all that?
  2. Is my version of Christianity worth dying for?
  3. Is the way we live worth the price Jesus paid?

More questions and information can be found at the Tough Series online.

I Do

I Do

This was the last in the series “Who Needs God?” out of North Point church in Atlanta.

The idea of autonomy is attractive. One of the biggest barriers to belief in God is that we don’t want to need anyone. But what if the idea of autonomy is really the illusion of autonomy?
