Take the step... Day 1

Hi church, 

We've covered a lot of ground over the last few weeks as we've moved through "Simply Christianity" together. Our Sunday teaching and small group discussions have reminded us that

• Jesus is our Lord. All the authority of God the Father belongs to him. He is our creator, our sustainer, and loving provider.
• Jesus is our Rescuer. Though he had all glory, honour and power with the Father, he counted it as nothing. He took the greatest step of all by taking the nature of a servant, and became a human. He humbled himself to die in your place on a wretched Cross.
• This he did to absorb all your sin, guilt and all the punishment you deserve. He did this with the express purpose of bringing you back to the Father. He did this to guarantee his work of transformation and change in people and the world. Jesus has removed everything and anything that could ever separate you from God's love and grace.

Now you are being called to take a step. A step of gratitude. A step of faith. A step of commitment. A step of hope.

This coming Sunday the entire Redlands CRC family get to make a statement of faith about what Jesus means to them.

Maybe you've just come to understand who Jesus is and what he has done for you. Maybe you want to reaffirm the faith he blessed you with sometime before. Or perhaps you want to break with some behaviour or attitude which you know grieves him - not to mention others.

Sunday will be the day (both services).

You will all have an opportunity to attach your statement of response to the cross.

You can prepare something at home, and bring it along. Or you can write it on the notepaper provided on Sunday. You can even email it in advance (you may be on the other side of the world) to justask@redlandscrc.org.au

Jesus took that huge step for you, and he is calling you to take a step and change your mind about him. There's no better way to respond.
