Experiencing Jesus—by Mark Baumhardt
February 2, 2025
Sermon recap:
There is a difference between knowing and experiencing Jesus (he is a person, not a doctrine). He is the lens of God's heart (through the battle lens, the journey in finding him, and the relational lens). We can't see the deep roots of Jesus's love but they are there. Knowledge comes from experieincing Jesus's love.
If you missed the lesson by Mark Baumhardt, one of the original members of the mission team to Johannesburg, then you can watch it on our YouTube channel. The recording is in two parts. This is the second one.
The perfect Father chooses mercy over judgment and connection over correction, and he celebrates repentance, calling us to reflect His love and grace.
Submission begins with surrender to God. Following Jesus' example, we lay down self-will, serve others in love, and trust his direction daily.
Jesus was full of grace and truth. Wisdom knows when to comfort, when to correct, and how to speak with love, discernment, and humility.
