7 Days til Facedown!!!

I am so pumped about our communion service next week. As with so many other things, we have redefined the observation of the Lord's Supper. We've given it the name Facedown and have included other elements that make it a celebration you won't want to miss! We have some new things to throw at you this time that promise to be incredible additions! If you have never been to a Facedown service, you're in for a treat. God has anointed this quarterly service as a time for the family of TrueNorth to meet with the Almighty God in new fresh ways!

So in a way to countdown to next Wednesday night, I've decided to post a scripture every day and expound some thoughts on it. I hope you will join me in reading through these verses and meditating on them, all with the mindset that we are going to meet with God on that special evening. So here is today's:

Colossians 1:27 | To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (ESV)

There are two things that are absolutely mind blowing to me. First, if Christ had not come to this earth and been crucified on the cross, the Gentiles (that's me and you, unless you're Jewish!) would not be able to share in the rich inheritance and blessing of God upon His people. We would be cursed to a life and eternity of hopelessness. But, He did come and He did sacrifice His life for ours!

The second thing that jumps out to me is that Christ is in us. CHRIST IS IN US!!!!! That's exciting stuff. We have the Son of God, the Savior the world inside of us helping you and I live life to the full. But we must live in that...we must tap into that awesome power source.

So as you go this week, fix your eyes upon Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

Jesus Christ, thank You for showing us how to live life. Thank You for the freedom we have through your death on the cross and conquering of death. Help us to live in the knowledge that You are in us and You want to live THROUGH us. Blessed be Your name in all the earth! Amen.
