First Church Charlotte

December 2, 2020 | Pastor Nathan Elms • Is:64-1 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=+Isaiah+64%3A1&version=MSG • The Scripture read shows a heart that is in pursuit of God. • The holidays beckons our society about the sacred event of the birth of our Savior. • What do we mean by a relationship with Jesus Christ? • Fear always has a self-interest to it, but is not the goal for a relationship with God. • The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and helps us understand the correct respect for God, but does not help us understand a relationship, but can turn into a duty relationship. • We seek God beyond fear and duty, by looking beyond that and seek relationship. • What moves you? The universal language of love? The moral law within each of us that transcends culture? • Allow yourself to see God in that you hold higher than anything else. • Let the Christmas season this year usher you into a pursuit for a relationship with Jesus Christ.
