Jesus Paid It All...




















As I was preparing for this Sunday's worship set for @ResonateChurch I was blown away by lyrics to a hymn that I have sang a million times. During my preparation for the worship practice and our Sunday morning worship experience I will read through the words of the songs and try to really think about exactly what the writer was trying to get across. Like I said earlier I have sang this hymn many times, but my heart was overwhelmed when reading through the song this week. The lyrics in this hymn are powerful and I thought it would be awesome to post the lyrics for you all to use a a devotion. So here are the lyrics...

LYRICS FOR REFLECTION:

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all.”

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Jesus died my soul to save
And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
“Jesus died my soul to save!”
My lips shall still repeat

O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead!

Every time I sing that song it washes over and overwhelms me. Jesus' sacrifice for me seems incredible. And all the things about myself that I find shameful, sad, pathetic or worse - they are already forgiven. Drawing me to a place where I want to be more like Christ, to honor His sacrifice. So beautiful.

But that is the beauty of Easter. Remembering and thinking about what Jesus went through on our behalf because of His love for us is a tough thing to think about. And sadly enough most people want to block it out and become immune to the cross. Except there is huge danger in that! Everything about who we are in Christ is because of the cross. The cross is central to everything in our lives. So we must remember what Jesus brought us out of throu...

NEW SERIES BEGINNING February 28th!

Image
Proverbs 4:20-23 says, "My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above ALL ELSE , guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." In this series we want to listen closely to these words. Sometimes we forget what forget what is going on in our heart because we board it up and want to forget things that go in inside out heart. But during this series we are going to do whatever is takes to open up our hearts completely to the Lord so he can expose and get rid of anything that is not of Him in our heart. It is going to hurt but in the end we will feel much better and we will be able to live life to its fullest. So over the next five weeks this is what it looks like: February 28th: What's Killing You? March 7th: Guilt March 14th: Jealousy March 21st: Greed March 28th: Pride So make sure you are there for...

My Weekend and Thoughts About Visiting Passion City Church

Image
So I got an inside look into the amazing stuff going on at Passion City Church in Buckhead (ATL), Georgia. I learned so many great things about how they communicate, lead, set vision, and much more that I wanted to share my thoughts from visiting.  Plus a bunch or pictures below. HERE ARE THE MAIN THINGS I LEARNED FROM THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM ABOUT HOW THEY LEAD, GUIDE AND DIRECT THE PEOPLE OF PASSION CITY CHURCH! The lead story (the headline) at Passion City Church is always the same and that is that "Jesus Is Alive." No matter what happens on a Sunday nothing trumps this!  At most of our churches the focus can be on that the chairs weren't set up correctly or that something didn't get put back the way it should have.  Those things can and should be addressed, but they are so far down the line in importance.  The fact that Jesus Is Alive is the main thing! As a leader our main job is to consistently cast vision every second in every conversation.  E...
