Full Access pass - GRANTED

 Imagine being able to ask anything of the one person who can do anything. That's the promise given to those who follow Christ, Heb 4:16.  How are you using this special all access pass? Do you make it a point to pray everyday? Do you pray more than you complain?

Christ has you covered

Although we all suffer adversity and fear, Christians can take special comfort in the request Jesus made on our behalf. In John 17:11-15 Jesus asks the Father to keep us safe. Jesus doesn't ask that His followers be removed from the adversity, but rather that we are kept safe through it. Are you able to ask God to answer Christ's prayer, by keeping you safe?

Where do you find joy?

Christ's final prayer, before his crucifixion included asking that his followers know the joy he had known. Jn 17:13. This joy seems linked with enjoying the fellowship provided through the church  Phil 2:2. Where do you go when you need joy?

What name do you choose for God?

Christians are said to know God by His name. Which of God's names do you find most meaningful today? What does your choice tell you about what you need from God today? 

Still empty

The cornerstone of the Christian faith is the empty tomb left behind when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The hope that was provided then, is the same hope provided today. Do you need hope? Would you consider the hope given by the account of the risen savior, Jesus Christ?

Palm Sunday

Mark 11 tells of a group of people who were so excited to see Jesus entering Jerusalem, that they ran to meet him shouting and showing reverence by laying down palm leaves and clothing. The sad twist to this story is that a few days later the same group is found demanding that Jesus be killed. How consistently excited are you at the idea of seeing Jesus?

judges seek to make us timid

• We live in a world that judges others in order to find self-worth. As Christians, we are to live above this norm, by simply trusting in God's great love for us. Faith in God's love for us frees us from the timidity that world tries to enforce through its harsh criticism. Do you bind others with your judgments, or do you free them by demonstrating God's love? 1 John 4:16-18
