In Christ We Learn the Way of Love (Part Four)
In union with Jesus, our capacity to live in purity of heart and fullness of hope is realized.
The Wake-Up Call is a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus who transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities.
Personal awakening starts when we’re no longer content to rest in salvation from sin and death, but moving with desperation to be restored to the image of God.
Communal awakening moves from our hearts into a resurgence of life and faith in our homes and radical hospitality and love towards our neighbors.
An awakened church is no longer going through the motions, but is focused on spreading the love of Christ throughout its people and its local community.
In the city we see a decrease in social toxicity, the healing of the sick and hurting, and the flourishing of every sector of society – the contagion of scriptural holiness in the land.
In union with Jesus, our capacity to live in purity of heart and fullness of hope is realized.
In union with Jesus, we can learn to honor others, seek their good, and act with compassion toward them.
In union with Jesus, we can rehearse the way of love until it is fully mature in us.
