Seven Mile Road Philly

Mile Seven: Mission

Ajay Thomas — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0500

As soon as they recognize Jesus, what’s the first thing they do? They go on mission. They have to tell everyone they can about Jesus. We long for our community to respond the same way to Jesus and His Gospel.

Mile Six: Awakened

Jesus is right next to them, and yet they can’t see Him. Biblically, we’re convinced that apart from God opening our eyes, we are blind to spiritual truths. Our prayer is that our eyes and the eyes of our city would be opened and our hearts set ablaze by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Mile Four: Scripture

Ajay Thomas — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0500

Jesus unfolds the Scriptures and shows the two disciples how all of it was about Him. The Scriptures transform their hearts and ours as well. We want to read, study, preach, pray, believe, and live the Bible. As we do, we want to see Jesus and His Gospel through it all.

Mile Three: Jesus

Ajay Thomas — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0500

You can’t read the seven mile road story and not see Jesus everywhere. He appears on the road, teaches the Scriptures, encounters their unbelief, and opens their eyes. The whole thing is centered on Him. We want our church to be the same way where it’s all about Jesus.

Mile Two: Need

Confused. Sad. Disappointed. Blind. Unbelieving. Those words not only accurately describe the men in the story, they describe us as well. We are broken people in a broken world. We long to be a people that recognize our need and encounter Jesus in the midst of it.

Mile One: Road

The idea of a journey is an important one in the Scriptures. Spiritual life is rightly seen as a walk with God. None of us have arrived, but lets consider what it looks like to walk together.
