Throughout 2024, we're going to read through the scriptures together as a KXC family, journeying through the text, grappling with the same passages, asking questions and being drawn into a daily encounter with Jesus.
Each day, we're setting aside our best time to immerse ourselves in the text so we might live out the story of God in our city, letting his voice be the most formative one in our lives. Rather than eating the bread of anxious toil as the Psalmist says, we want to eat the bread that truly satisfies.
We’ve made a new journal following the church calendar which provides a passage for each day and space to write down what God might be saying to us through the text.

Easter- Jesus is the Way
W/C 21.04.24
There is no one like You, not anywhere, not anywhen.
Fully man
Human
Encounters temptation and experiences death
As real as you or I as we walk the Earth
He walked the Earth
But He was without sin
Defeated death
Fully God
Teaching us
Loving in spite of our faults
Forgiving of each and every failure
Fully Truth
Take up your own cross and follow me
Let he who has ears hear
Lose your life to save it
God is love
Fully Light
Miracle worker, healer, resurrected one
Diner with tax collectors, with disciples
Both are friend, both are loved
Overturner of tables in the temple
Rode in on a donkey, bore a crown of thorns
We are loved
He declared the Holy Spirit alive in us
He is the way
In the wake of the death and resurrection, we reflect on the teachings that Jesus left us with, the
basis of how He has instructed us to live. These verses point to simple, but substantial model
God asks us to follow. Giving up ourselves for His sake, to recognize the people who need to the
love of Jesus the most. As you read these verses, step into the awe of His majesty and sacrifice,
but also at the road he has laid before us that might become more like Him every day.
