Today has been another fantastic day.
We started the day off in our community groups. We talked about how we have been saved for something- Ephesians 2:10. We talked about how Jesus was the only way (John 14:6) that the church can be one. Something that I really liked that we talked about was this: Jesus+nothing=everything
In the first main session, we read through the book of Ephesians. Lecrae, Beth Moore, Francis Chan, Louie Giglio, and John Piper all took turns reading it. There were some verses that really stood out to me:
Ephesians 3:20-21
Ephesians 4:1-6, 32
Ephesians 5:14
In the second main session we talked more about slavery and Do Something Now. A website they talked a lot about was slaveryfootprint.org.
In the third main session, John Piper was the speaker. If you haven't ever heard him speak, he is BRILLIANT. He started off with the statement, "Seeing and savoring the supremacy of Christ frees us from sin for the sacrifices of love." The thing that stuck with me was the supremacy of Christ. He is supreme over everything. Just think about it this way. Jesus never began, and He will never end. Read John 1:1 and replace "The Word" with Jesus' name. After that read Genesis 1:26. Isn't it crazy how God said let US make man in OUR image. That is crazy.
We ended up with our community groups trying to break down what John Piper said, because not a whole lot of us understood it. After that we went and stood around a monument that Passion made for the 27 million slaves and lit candles because we will be the light of the world.
Tomorrow is our last day. These have definitely been some of the best days of my life.
