Paradigm Abundant Life

A life spent pursuing Christ is a life that is walking in freedom from our trauma, our past, and our sin.
Last night, Pastor Jon continued our Waterproof series, telling the story of how God made a way for freedom for Moses and the Israelites by splitting the Red Sea later leading into the Promise Land, and escaping the pursuing Egyptians. What can we learn from this story? Maybe, for example, you’re currently living a life of singleness. The FACT that you’re single may lead you to FANTASIZE about the marriage you desire and cause you to FORGET the promises of contentment from God, leading to FEAR about never being happy or satisfied without a spouse, finally leading to the BONDAGE of sin.

Facts - Fantasy - Forget - Fear - Bondage

God paves the way towards true freedom through the life, death, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ and a relationship with Him. We only have to realize that God is worthy of our trust. God will lead us out of captivity and into freedom! 🕊️

“So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses.”
‭Exodus 14:30-31

This Tuesday we started a new series titled: Waterproof. This week talked about trusting God with your future. Do you trust God's plan for your life? Are you doing what you can do, and then ultimately trusting God for what only He can do? We learned that there is a very real enemy who would love to undo God's plan for your life, that trusting God's plan isn't passive, but active, and that our future with God is SO much better than a future without Him. His PLANS and his PURPOSES are Waterproof!

Still thinking about last Tuesday 🤩 Paradigm, we loved celebrating all that the Lord has done with our ministry in the last 10 years with you. We got to worship with so many of you all, hear an impactful message from @josiah.d.jones , then throw the BEST Paradigm birthday party! 🎉 We can’t wait to see what God has in store for the next 10 years.

“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭

How do we make Christ known to others?
1. Become a new creation.
2. Understand the ministry of reconciliation.
3. Representing Jesus.

Last night we studied 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. To make Christ known, we must first have to be made a new creation. If you are in Christ, you have been made new, and you have a ministry that He has called you to. If you know Christ, do you know how to help others reconcile their relationship with God? The only two things that will last forever are the Word of God and the souls of men. As Christians, we are Christ’s ambassadors, representing Him and His kingdom. God has chosen and called us to deliver His message, the Gospel. This week, we challenge you to share your faith with others and make Him known. 🕊️

Last night we kicked off our new, self-titled series: Parad1Gm. We want to be a ministry marked by knowing Christ and making Him known to others. Last night we looked at John 17:1-5 and learned how knowing Christ is connected with eternity. “Eternal” carries the idea of quality as well as quantity, and eternal life can start today. Only knowing God brings deep soul satisfaction, and will allow you to be immersed in eternal life. Church attendance, baptism, being a good person, and being religious are good things, but they won’t give you eternal life as only knowing Jesus can. Do you know Christ? Do you know him deeply and intimately? Reflect on these things this week, and come back next Tuesday for part 2! Have a great week, Paradigm 🤍🕊️

Wrapping up our series in Numbers Pastor Jon led us through what it means to embrace living in submission to God. 👏 In 1 Peter we learned that our identity in Christ surpasses any circumstance. Submission is the choice to be emptied of authority and filled with God's purpose for your life, regardless of the circumstance. Society will tell you to live your own truth and build your own life but as Jon taught, the greatest good of life comes only from laying it all down and embracing your purpose before God. 💙

This week we encourage you to follow Jesus' example of humble submission both to God and the human authority in your life. Make it a point to give thanks to those who lead you! We love you Paradigm, see you next week! 🤩🫶🏼
