Growing Together pt 2: Challenge and Celebration
Having thought together about the power of healthy or rotten words last week, we turn our focus to two types of speaking that are essential for our growth: Challenge and Celebration. They’re like two wings on an airplane – if they’re not in balance we won’t fly straight! We look at the story of Jesus’ conversation with Simon the Pharisee in Luke 7 to see how Jesus uses both celebration and challenge to help people grow in love and good works. In contrast, Simon’s behaviour showed some rotten ways that people often celebrate and challenge. It’s a great opportunity for us to look at our own lives and what we do together, to notice where we don’t line up with Jesus and to ask for His help to do things differently in 2024.
