What do they all have in common?
This week the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Ravens during Monday Night Football...
So you might be confused by that first sentence and wonder if you're reading the correct blog. Yes, yes you are! While I'm not about to become a HUGE pro-football fan, I've changed my mind a bit about the whole thing, especially when it comes to the players.
This Monday I saw so many posts on social media sites about all the soups, chilis, cinnamon rolls, cozying up on the couch, and enjoying family while the boys in red play football.
What if we treated Sunday mornings like that - or whenever we worship the Lord? I've been to a lot of churches and I've worked in a four so far - and I haven't been to one yet where worship is as exciting as Arrowhead at roughly the same time.
When did we decide to celebrate the joy of resurrection in fear of Jesus? It's historical for sure, but fear doesn't always mean we cower in God's presence. It doesn't mean living your life by a set of strict and cumbersome rules to the point where you begin to pass judgment on others... Remember, Jesus came to fulfill the law so we can live abundant lives.
Fear is about standing in awe of the greatness of God. It's coming together like you would on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Chief's play, being joyful for the life given, raising our voices together in thanksgiving to God. It's high-fiving (or air-fiving right now) because you know that we have been secured victory through Jesus. It's coming together with our delicious food and feasting together.
This weekend in worship - wear your Holy Spirit red and make some noise for Jesus Christ!
