What are the dreams or desires of Your heart, Jesus?
The Father made it clear. “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. As Jesus rose from His baptism and was transfigured on the mountaintop, the Father’s heart’s desires found their “Yes and Amen” in Beloved God-Man,x Christ the Son.
But what has moved the Son of God’s heart? What has the Beloved set His longing upon and will we join Him?
As we start our 6th year as a gathered church family, we take time to revisit the vision – dreams the Beloved laid upon the heart of His people known as LegacyPoint – a part of His beloved people. Revisit the call with us upon all believers’ hearts as we peer into the life of the God-Man.
Chapter by chapter, we dive into each Gospel and rehash the key passages the Holy Spirit placed before us as a local church in our inception (Psalm 2:7-8; Ephesians 1:3-6, 7-10; Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 3:13-15, 31-35; Revelation 7:9-12).
Beloved Church, will you dream with the Beloved?
Matthew 5:21–26
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
Matthew 18:15–20
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
