“A Holiday of Faith” is about becoming one of those rare believers whose faith fuels their belief that God can do anything: change us, change our family, change our friends, change our community, and yes, change the world.
What were your expectations for your life up to this point? What expectations were met? What fell short? What were exceeded?
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.
Jesus was sent by God to be the chief persuader. He was on a mission to convince, and in John 11:32-44 he is faced with grief, one of the most traumatic afflictions of faith any human being can experience. The sisters of Lazarus had watched their brother die when Jesus failed to arrive, and were plunged into deep grief accompanied by doubt. This grieving doubt had an emotional effect on Jesus as Scripture says he was “deeply moved” (John 11:33,38).
