Dear Covenant family,

 

‘Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent’- John 17:3

 

The call is loud and clear: You won’t fully start living until you know Christ. It’s not a triumphant call or a condescending call as we look to the world around us. It’s a humble and thankful calling – like from a man who inspected a field and discovered there was a hidden gold mine in it. He sold everything he had to buy it. Once he got it, he was rich!  I pray that this Sunday we will (re) discover that Full Life in Him and allow us to explain it to a world that is ‘anxiously longing’ to see it manifest in us. (Rom 8:19) May we: Know God, Grow Together and Show the World!
