Shiloh Neighborhood Church: Recent Episodes
Nick Ratiani
Next Step Read and reflect on the Apostles’ Creed, remembering that because Jesus is Lord, we are the family of God, made up of all kinds of people.
Next Steps: Read Psalms 105 and 106 and meditate on the story of Israel: God the faithful promise-keeper, and the consequences of people’s unfaithfulness. Reflect on Jesus’ double-edged faithfulness: He is the manifestation of God’s faithfulness to us, and he is the one who is faithful to God for us and through us.
Reflection Ask God to help you understand more fully that you belong in His family. Thank Him for freely welcoming you. Ask Jesus to show you how to live a life that is faithful to Him as He has been faithful to the Father.
Reflection What things do you do to try to gain freedom, when in fact Jesus’ kingship means you are already free? What things is Jesus calling you to do as part of living in his New Creation?
Reflection questions: Is your hope that Jesus will get you out of this world? Or, is it that he will come and make things right, and that he is already doing so to you and through you?
What things have you thought of as essential to being a Christian that are added on to the announcement of Jesus’ kingship?
