LAUNCH DAY
Get excited for this year's annual ministry theme, PURSUE!
Every coach and athlete is pursuing something: earning a scholarship, winning a championship or landing a contract. As the stakes rise, the drive behind that pursuit intensifies. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but what if pursuing those things ultimately isn’t healthy or good for us in the long run? Join us this year as we dive into pursuing the things of God.
Over the first quarter of 2021, we will be focusing on Pursuing Truth. Pursuing the ultimate Truth can only be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." - John 14:6
In a world that can make us feel like we don't know where we are going, Jesus shows us a greater truth that we can grab as we make a point to learn more about God by reading His Word.
If we want to improve our skills in our sport, it makes sense to spend time practicing and studying the game to become better. In the same way, our spiritual training should be exercised if we want to grow in Christ. This is why it's important to be in God's Word every day and Read the Truth.
IMPERATIVE: READ THE TRUTH
We’re always pursuing something--a championship, a personal best, a fit of belonging on our team or earning a scholarship--and we set our sights on the end prize and give our all to see our goals achieved.
In life, we do much the same--pursue relationships, promotions, meaning and accolades. Our human nature craves success. But to measure our success, we must know the standard and our anchoring point.
Over the next year, we’ll explore what it means to Pursue Truth, Life, Team and Mission. Each of these themes connect to engage in intentional pursuit of God and His great call on our lives.
For this, we start at the root of things: Truth.
What is Truth?
