For 40 days leading up to Easter, Renew Church is going to participate in a "season of surrender." Jesus once said "if you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." Over 8 weeks, we'll uncover exactly what Jesus meant by examining his teaching and the example he lived out that took him to the cross. Alongside our series, we'll also participate in some new twists on popular Lent traditions and spiritual disciplines including Lenten sacrifice, online daily devotions, virtual prayer meetings and more! Check out the videos below for more details, and download our calendar and reading plan:
Darcy MacCallum - August 22, 2021
Why did Jesus cry?
Pastor Darcy MacCallum continues our series, Jesus According to John. In John 11-13 we discover a paradigm for for how we, as followers of Jesus, should engage our world. Resurrection life requires walking the way of the cross and in terms of sharing that life with others, it means this: 1. Like Jesus before the tomb of Lazarus, We must feel the pain of the people we seek to serve. And, like Jesus rising to wash the disciples feet, 2. Our acts of service must be driven by a genuine other-focused, cross-shaped love.
Scripture References: John 11:35, John 11:21-37, John 11:33
