Weekend Series: Sounds of Summer

DreamTeam Writer: Lori Tuckerman

Saturday, June 28, 2025

The Gospel isn't just a message we hear once. It's a truth we return to again and again. It shapes how we see ourselves, walk through hard days, and respond to the world around us. As you reflect on the Good News of Jesus, consider the four calls to action from last weekend's message:

  • Remember
  • Rest
  • Rejoice
  • Reveal

Before we do anything, we pause to remember we have been rescued, redeemed, and made new by grace, not by our own efforts. The Gospel reminds us of who we are and whose we are. When we forget, we drift. But when we remember, we're grounded in truth.

You don't have to earn what Jesus has already finished. The Gospel invites us to lay down striving and find rest in the sufficiency of Christ. Rest doesn't mean inactivity or not doing "enough." It means walking in peace and knowing God holds it all together for us.

Even on the hardest days, we have a reason to celebrate. The joy of our salvation isn't rooted in our circumstances - it's rooted in Christ. Rejoicing lifts our eyes from what's uncertain to the unshakable One.

Let this be your rhythm: remember the Gospel, rest in its truth, rejoice in its power, and reveal it to a world in need. That's how we live as people transformed by the greatest news ever.

Spend time today in prayer and reflect on whichever “R” you feel has been placed on your heart.

Prayer:
Jesus, thank you for giving me so many beautiful promises through your Word. I am forever grateful and rejoice in the freedom of your love every day! Help me rest in its truth and rejoice in its power. Please reveal a place in my daily life where I can point more people to you. I love you, I trust you, and I worship you. Amen.

Series Theme Verse:

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
