Hey parents, this weekend we’re in session 2 of the series Lost In Translation in both middle school Crave & high school Focus. Last week we kicked things off by talking about relationship with Jesus and really asking the question why. Why do we believe the things we believe about Jesus? Is it because we have entered into an authentic relationship with Jesus, one that comes through experiences with the Savior of the world? Or, do we base our faith and belief on a list of facts? This weekend Mike Berry and Nate Reeves will unpack the word righteousness. The bottom line is this: True righteousness begins when we line our hearts up with God’s heart.
We all believe in righteousness. For some, righteousness is a lot like fairness. For others, it is the definition of how to live without messing up. Whatever our definition of righteousness, if we haven’t made it about the state of our own hearts, we’ve missed it altogether. While God has provided us with His Word to help us understand how He wants us to live, His purpose isn’t for us to work at being better Christians on the outside alone. He wants our lives in line with Him on the inside. When we get our hearts right with God, our actions follow and we have the power to impact the world around us. We get to be a part of God’s bigger story of restoration, in our own lives and in other’s.
[Cue- Ask your student what their own definition of righteousness is. Ask them where they got their definition what they expect to learn about the word this weekend at Crave or Focus.]
