This Sunday at New Life!

This Sunday's mesage is "The Endless Pursuit of Pefection."  As we move to the third "magnetic mark" of Jesus followers, we'll take a look at what it means to seek to live a life of holiness in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Doesn't sound too magnetic?  Consider this:  When we put Jesus first, and seek to follow His instructions in the power of the Holy Spirit, our lives are tangibly different from those around us.  That doesn't mean we become "holier than thou." It means that we become more like Jesus--the most magnetic person who ever lived!  One of Jesus' most amazing traits was that He IS the Son of God, and therefore by far the holiest person ever to step foot on the planet, and yet he attracted wicked people in droves!  The religious leaders of the day, who detested Him, acknowledged that the WHOLE WORLD was going after Him.  Why!  Because Jesus' life reflected true holiness, true perfection---the kind that recognizes sin for what it is, and invites the sinner to exchange that for the life that is truly life!  The more like Jesus we become, the more naturally others will be attracted to us--with the exception of those who are "religious." The religious folks in every age find Jesus somewhat offensive.  His genuine holiness seems too earthy to compare with their stiff and refined rules and regulations.  Join us this Sunday--and find out what it takes to be a more magnetic follower of Jesus by pursuing His brand of perfection!
