Continued Series; Hebrews: Living Like The Priest On His Own Altar
Hebrews is the most confusing book in the Bible. It has all the charm of Leviticus and half the sense of Revelation. Beginning this week, we’re going to take a year and go through the entire book of Hebrews, line by line and verse by verse. AND IT’S GOING TO BE MIND-BLOWINGLY AMAZING! Seriously. We’re going to examine what it means to say “God is Christ-like.” It means everything we know to be true about Jesus must also be true about God, since Jesus is the form of the inexhaustible, inalienable, unknowable God. If Jesus gave up his life to save people, then God, too, must be a self-sacrificing God whose commitment to humanity goes to the very core of who he is. God loves us. God wants us. And God is so invested in us that he sent himself to rescue us. Sound boring? Confusing? Not on your life. Miss the most recent service? Get caught up here! http://westwinds.org/media/live/
Westwinds is here to shadow God, build the church, and heal the world.
Shadowing God reminds us that we must stay in step with God's plan for us as individuals. We are never fully formed; we are always works-in-progress. That work progresses only by staying in step with the Spirit and being constantly malleable and edited by God.
Building the church means we recognize that Christian spirituality is not an individual sport. Church is plural, and God's purposes for reconciliation involve us sorting out our relationships with the people around us.
Healing the world connotes the fact that our salvation is neither privatized or communized, but expressed most faithfully in mission. We invite the Spirit to change us and to create a holy community of similarly simultaneously changing people, so that together we can effect change in the world.
