Prayer is one of the most amazing privileges of the Christian life: the invitation to communicate directly with the Creator of the universe and Savior of our souls. So why don’t we pray more often? And when we do pray, is it to present God with our self-focused wish-list? Or are we approaching God regularly, faithfully and in a spirit of humility?

Jesus saves us from sin’s penalty and gives us a new life - that’s the good news of the gospel in the here and now. We should always remember to have hearts of thankfulness for that gift of grace. But Jesus also promises to return and bring the fullness of God’s Kingdom in the last days. Are we ready for that day? Or are we so wrapped up in the distractions of this world that we’ve taken our eyes off of the Kingdom to come?

We all sin. Sin is inevitable for every single person in this broken world. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sin means that we can be forgiven - that’s the heart of the gospel. But what about when someone sins against us? When someone in our life acknowledges their sin against us and repents, are we prepared to forgive them as we’ve been forgiven?

What is Hell? Is it a real place? If God is all-loving, why would He allow people to spend eternity in Hell? Most people avoid thinking about death, but the Bible is clear that an eternity awaits everyone. The hope we have in Christ is that through his death and resurrection we can be made right with God and welcomed into an eternity with Him by grace through faith. But for those who reject that gift of grace in Christ, the Bible gives us a sobering warning about the reality of Hell.

How do we faithfully manage the things God puts in our life? If we see the things we have - money, possessions, career, family - as only ours, we’ll end up living a self-focused life, grasping for those things, and striving to gain more. But if we rightly see those things as gifts from God to be used for His purposes and His glory, we’ll find joy in the management of them in the here and now, and we’ll look forward to an eternity where that faithfulness is rewarded.

God’s amazing love for His children is on full display in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. Whether our hearts have gone astray like the younger son by living recklessly for ourselves, or our hearts have been hardened like the older son by our own self-righteousness, God’s love and kindness calls both to repentance, ready to welcome us home with open arms.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ isn’t just a historical event. The world is filled with brokenness because of sin, and left to ourselves we’ll simply follow along, chasing after things that ultimately will simply lead to death. But through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can be made alive! Because Jesus died for our sin and overcame death, we can be set free from sin and welcomed into God’s family for eternity. When we live for Jesus, that’s when we truly find life.

Jesus has a heart for lost people. While the self-righteous religious leaders of his day looked down on sinners, Jesus revealed the true heart of God that rejoices when someone repents of sin and believes in Him. We’re constantly surrounded by people who are lost - do you share God’s heart to see them come to know and follow Jesus?

Following Jesus will cost us. The free gift of salvation in Jesus comes with an understanding that he is the Lord of our lives - that includes all of our possessions, relationships and ambitions. Jesus calls us to follow him in all things, even when the world around us is doing the opposite. While that’s hard to do, the resulting transformation in our lives leads to a joy that only comes from growing more and more like Jesus, and impacting the world around us to grow his Kingdom instead of our own.

What does it look like to put others first? We can easily fall into the trap of thinking our own priorities are more important than the needs of others. We can also be so wrapped up in our own pursuits that we don’t recognize our own need for a Savior. In both cases, Jesus calls us to humility. In humility we’re called to put others before ourselves as we recognize, in humility, our own deep need for a Savior. Only Jesus can truly transform our hearts and help us turn away from selfishness.
