Sacred People (part 4)

In this series of articles we're examining the life of Jesus to see what a truly Sacred Person looks like. And it may not be the most spiritual or holy person, although that's what we've been led to believe.  The answer may shock you.

Unholy people

So far we've talked about the need to be authentic and to begin to allow God to expand our small-minded thinking.  And we saw in Acts 10 that we need to treat everyone as if they are created in God's image... because they are!  As we finish up this series we'll look at ways to practically apply these truths.

When we look at the life of Jesus, we see the will of God in action.  He lived a holy life.  His disciples record God speaking from heaven about Him:

And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3:17

God was well pleased with Him because He always did those things that please God.  He lived a life that was fully devoted to God.  This is the definition of a sacred life.  Jesus was truly a sacred person!  And by looking at the life of Jesus we can see how sacred people should live.

When Life Doesn't Make Sense [mp3]

I had the privilege of speaking at my friend, Mike Burdick's church a week ago.  Mike and Christine have been our friends for a long time.  Although I had initially planned to teach on a different subject, my heart kept coming back to this one.  I think it will encourage you as it did me.

This message is a LOT longer than I usually give.  They did shorter music and announcements so that I could have extra time, and they encouraged me to speak longer than I usually do.

InSight 2010 rocked!

The InSight 2010 Youth Leader’s Conference was amazing!  There were three days of incredibly practical training and encouragement.  We received some incredible testimonies.  And dozens of youth and leaders made fresh commitments to follow God’s plan for their lives.

Since our goal from the outset was to not just have a one-time event, we are putting both the mp3s and other free information on the website.  The updated http://insight2010.eu website is not yet finished, but it should be shortly.  Be sure to check it out!

Resurrection!

I know it's a little late to be writing about an Easter theme, but just indulge me a little bit. I led worship for the Easter service at our church and wanted to take a couple of minutes and encourage the people to remember what we were celebrating. It was about John 11:25 where Jesus said, "I am, right now, Resurrection and Life."

It ended up being recorded by an mp3 player in the back of the room, but it's still understandable. If you're interested in hearing it, click on http://www.perrinministries.org/upload/JP_EasterService.mp3. It's me along with a German translator, since everything we do in our church is in two languages.
