Dear RE.THINKERS,
It was a joy to gather together this past Sunday. If you were with us, we hope Heather’s message continues to stir your heart throughout the week. If you missed it, we want to make sure you do not miss what God shared with us.
Summary: The sermon explored what it truly means to walk in new life through Jesus Christ. Heather brought a powerful, scripture-rich message rooted in Romans 5, 6, and 8, Galatians 5, Hebrews 12, and 2 Corinthians 5, challenging us to move beyond simply receiving salvation and into the active, daily process of allowing Christ to be Lord over every area of our lives. Just as a newborn must grow and learn to thrive, we are called to nourish the things of the Spirit and put to death the things of the flesh. This is not a one-time moment but an ongoing race that God has uniquely marked out for each of us.
Takeaways:
If you are wondering what your next steps are at RE.THINK Church, and how you can make a difference at RE.THINK Church, consider joining us for Discover RE.THINK August 16th. Sign up here.
We love doing life with you and are grateful for the community God is building here in the 219.
Building His Kingdom in the 219!

This is not a one-time moment but an ongoing race that God has uniquely marked out for each of us.
Takeaways:
- Salvation is the beginning, not the destination. Accepting Christ forgives our sin, but lordship calls us to surrender every area of our lives to him, not just the ones we are comfortable giving up. We must choose daily whether we will be mastered by the old life or the new life that Christ offers.
- We are called to run our race unencumbered. Just as a serious runner would never line up on race day weighed down, we are invited to throw off the sin that entangles us so we can run with perseverance the race God has marked out for us. Freedom is the fruit of that process, even when the process itself is difficult.
- We are ambassadors of reconciliation. God has not only given us new life, he has commissioned us to carry that message to others. There are people near to each of us who are far from God. This week, consider who your three are, pray for them specifically, and trust the Holy Spirit to guide those conversations.
