Scripture and questions for study and reflection:

This week we begin the season of Lent: a time of reflection, a time of preparation, a time to confront our own humanness. Over the next six weeks we\\u2019ll have the opportunity to truly embrace our relationship with Jesus Christ as we make our way on a journey toward Easter. This morning we begin our sermon series: \\u201cNo Wonder They Crucified Him.\\u201d

1. What do you think a \\u201cfence-walking world\\u201d insinuates? How does or doesn\\u2019t your life relate to that phrase?

2. Read Revelation 3:15. What is meant by this passage? What is Jesus asking you to do? What changes in your life do you need to make in order to be obedient to Him?

3. Jesus has taught and modeled everything for you so that your life would have complete integrity in all of your relationships with yourself, to others and certainly to God. Read John 15:11. What does Jesus want you to have? Do you need to get off the fence and ground yourself in God?

4. Take a moment and have a heart-to-heart talk with Jesus. Tell him about your day. Share your thoughts on your actions, attitudes, feelings and interactions with others. Perhaps you need to seek forgiveness, seek direction in your life, share a concern or maybe express your love and gratitude toward Him. Perhaps through this quiet time\\u2026you\\u2019ll have an understanding that truly\\u2026God is all you need!

Prayer for the Week:
Lord Jesus, I admit that I have been on the fence for you. Please forgive me. I want to move in a direction that brings me closer to you and completely committed to you. Give me the strength I need to be all in for you, Jesus. I pray all of this in the strong name of Jesus. Amen.
