Vivid #5 - “The Great Contrast of Gratitude”

Vivid
Written By Kurt Willems
 

Description

How does God see us? How do we see God? How does this inform how we see our world? There are external forces at work that shape our picture of Jesus: our world, culture, institutions, and families. Our image of what God is like is often a blurred distortion of reality. “Vivid” is an invitation to see Christ with greater clarity so that he can become the foundation of a life free from shame. God’s posture towards us all is love. Seeing Jesus in this way changes everything.
