Book: Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane C. Ortlund
Where: Pastor and Abby Felber’s House (call the church office for directions)
When: Thursdays at 7pm
How does Jesus feel about sinners and sufferers? How does His heart relate to His wrath? How does His heart fit with what we find in the Old Testament and its portrait of God? These are legitimate and necessary questions that all normal believers would like to know. In Gentle and Lowly, Dane Ortlund focuses on the heart of Christ and who He is, rather than what He has done. We might know that Christ died and rose again on our behalf to rinse us clean of all our sin; but do we know His deepest heart for us? Do we live with an awareness not only of His atoning work for our sinfulness but also of His longing heart amid our sinfulness?
It is one thing to know the doctrines of the incarnation and the atonement and a hundred other vital doctrines. It is another, more searching matter to know His heart for sinners: for you. Join us as we learn together, who is He and what Christ’s heart is like!
