It's a new month and we have a new series coming at you on Sunday. To start 2022, we spent time constructing/reconstructing/renovating our faith. In other words, we were answering some of the most common objections to Christianity so that we have a firm foundation and understanding of what we believe and why we believe it. Also, my intention is to equip us to be able to share our faith with others. I trust January gave you some great construction materials.

I've been re-watching The West Wing lately and one of my favourite things is when President Bartlet finishes a task or makes a decision then turns to his staff and says, "What's next?" That's kind of the inspiration for our February series. When our faith is set on a solid foundation the next question we ask is, "So what? What's next? What do I do now?"

We're going to build some walls and rooms into our reconstructed faith this month and make sure we understand what it means to live out the faith that we have in Christ. What's first, what's next, what comes after that... What things should we be looking for in our lives if we are following Jesus?

First up (and always first) is the heart. It's not a checklist, it's learning to first and foremost check our hearts to find what motivates our thoughts, actions, and attitudes. We need to look for certain marks in our character before we talk about how that might look in our activities.

If you want to study ahead, take a look at 2 Corinthians 7:8-13 and James 5:13-16. These are the scriptures that are going to help us learn what heart of a disciple of Jesus looks like.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday,
Pastor Tracy
