The Vision Online

2010.03.07

 

FIRST FOCUS

SERMON ON THE "PLAINS"
Every Christian is familiar with Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. That section of Matthew’s gospel contains powerful teachings on how as Jesus’ disciples we are to model on earth what life will be like in heaven. Unlike some people who see these teachings as a mere goal, I believe Jesus really intended for us to live them out in our everyday experience. Granted, they are lofty teachings that set a high bar for us disciples. But I believe that Jesus set them that high in order to have us look to him for the grace we need to reach such heights of faithfulness.  [more+]

ARE YOU READY FOR EASTER?

As you look to Easter, set aside time to think deeply about Jesus...and his sacrifice for you.  As a part of this journey, consider a quiet time of reading, reflection, and prayer each day.  To assist you in this sacred endeavor, we offer a brief daily devotional, as well as a reading from the gospel of Matthew.  Our hope is that you will use these daily devotionals to help you in this season of preparation as you approach Easter and expect a fresh encounter with a risen Savior.
