Message Action Plan
Talk It OverScriptures Used
Luke 1:1-4, 4:20-21, 6:47-49, 14:21-24, Luke 23:39-43 (NLT)
Four Truths to Anchor Our Lives:
- Jesus fulfills God's plan to bring HOPE to our lives.
- Jesus changes our lives when we apply his teachings.
- Jesus invites us into a relationship with the Heavenly Father.
- Jesus wants our surrender, not our perfection.
ACTION PLAN: Read Luke 23:39-43 and think about the interaction between Jesus and the thief on the cross. Ask yourself a couple of questions: What did the thief need to do before he was guaranteed paradise with Jesus? In his position, what could he possibly do? Write the answer in the margin of your Bible and say a prayer of thanks for the gift of salvation that you have done nothing to deserve.
Immerse
ACTION PLAN: Saddleback is engaging our community to read the entire New Testament beginning January 22nd and ending March 16th. We are using Immerse, The Reading Bible® to read "Messiah", a unique Bible whose format doesn't include chapter, verse, and other headings, to create a reading experience more like the original readers would have read it. If you haven't signed up for The Anchored Life challenge yet, learn more and sign up here. This week's reading assignment is pages A9-59.
