Renewal
Why This Series
Jesus can make all things new. Renewal is a gift and the greatest gift is Jesus himself. The Christmas season is a great reminder of the greatest gift –Jesus, who came to make all things new.
The "Renewal Series" follows the “Rest Series.” We designed the “Rest Series” so you can experience renewal. Rest is God’s gift and rest brings renewal.
The Desired Outcome
Becoming more like Jesus and being transformed into the image of Christ continually
What is Renewal
Renew: Anakainoo means completing a process and to renew by moving from one stage to a higher (more developed) one. Renew is "to cause to grow up new, to make new (2 Corinthians 4:16). Renewal means to be changed into a new kind of life, as opposed to the former corrupt state (Colossians 3:10)
Interior Quality. They are those who focus on the interior quality of life rather than on its quantity, those who explore the inner ground of human love and understanding and, on their journey there, reach new centers of motivation for knowing and loving. Thomas Merton?
The rest will follow. It is safe to say that there is a deep longing for things to be different in our lives. All humans are broken and in a corrupt state without Jesus. When Jesus makes all things new, all things will fall into place.
Renewal is an ongoing process, “the inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). In the next three months (December to February) we will focus on how we can be renewed day by day.
