Gratitude Toward Others

Often today, when we say "Thank You" we really mean "I owe you". Our relationships are a constant struggle to stay "in the black", to keep from owing anyone. But Jesus tells us that in his kingdom, our relationships are about staying in the red, about giving to each other. "Thank You" in God's kingdom should affirm our relationship with the other person. We should really be saying "I love you."

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
