I love the journey that The Grove has begun this year. We are taking the Old Testament Challenge - 32 weeks in a survey of the OT. So far we've been reminded of the majesty of God our creator; watched the downward spiral of man (Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, The Flood, Babel) and now we begin our look at God and His covenant that He made with Abraham.
God has a conversation with Abraham requiring him to DTR - "Define The Relationship".
Think back to your dating years. When a young man and a young woman begin to hang out together – eventually one or the other – usually the young lady will say – “we have to talk.” Now guys you know what happens next! Your hands get sweaty – you start to click through all the things you said, or did, or try to figure out what maybe you didn’t say or didn’t do.
But what she is saying is, I need to know if there is a commitment here. It’s time to fish, or cut bait. We need a DTR. We need to define the relationship.
What is your relationship with Jesus. Is it casual? Dating other gods? Or are you committed to the one true God? Hope you can be at The Grove tomorrow - or listen to our podcast at www.grovechurch.cc.
