Getting Ready For The Week
As we set out this week, we will look at the major themes and process through reflection.
Notes on the practices:
Reflection helps to slow down and be mindful of what is being read. These questions are here to be a guide, not a task. Let the Holy Spirit lead you to whatever He may want to highlight for you specifically.
Diving in:
This week, we unpack the theme of rescue - what it means for you and I personally and the larger mission that we are called to as followers of Jesus.
Friends, you and I were created with we are created with inherent, absolute purpose, but we are also finite, fragile, and inherently prone to error. Confronting that paradox leads us to wrestle with our own limitations and the inescapable trap of our sinful nature; we find there is “no safe harbor” of our own making.
That place of realization prepares our hearts to truly understand and receive grace. We begin to appreciate the bold and daring rescue of a God who desires to restore what was broken. We also recognize what's at stake - we have a role to play as living reflections of that mercy and grace so others can be rescued.
Join us as we discover what it means to be rescued by grace to share His grace.
Let this be the starting point:
Ask God to reveal your need for rescue and the same need for those He has placed in your life.

Reflection
Reflection Helps Us Pause, Listen, And Let God Speak To Our Hearts.
