Life Group Family and Friends:
Many people ask me what I like about our life group. I tell them 2 things: 1. We are very real and don't hide behind masks of what we want others to see. 2. We have great discussion during LG.
Saturday evening was no different. Thank you for the great discussion.
Paul was very real in describing the Judaizers. Dogs, evil, mutilators. (Tell us how you really feel Paul!). But he did not want "works salvation" to muddy the water and force people to lose joy of a true free gift. Remember how he compared all of his great works, which use to matter so much, as garbage, rubbish, dung, bodily excrement, dog poop, etc. (might have used the Message version in there somewhere).
Paul is telling us not to be dumpster divers. But to focus on "knowing Jesus". During discussion we used the following to describe "knowing": learning, studying, journey, on going, pursue, what Travis D. said, closeness, relationship, confidence, intimate, and oneness.
My challenge to you this week is to focus on KNOWING your savior. Do something different this week, talk to your spouse about what it means to know Jesus, pursue Jesus and enjoy the journey.
Be intentional.
Travis
