Familiarity can lead us to miss the incredible.
For instance, do you take the beauty of this valley for granted? It's our everyday normal, but people come a long way to spend just a week here.
Familiarity can also lead us to neglect the incredible. We get used to the person who is just "there" and neglect the heart of the relationship. We get used to enjoying what others have built and neglect to make the good thing even better. Even worse than neglect, we can turn the tables on the incredible and use it for selfish purposes and corrupt the incredible.
It's time to see the incredible once again!
This week we journey with Jesus toward the cross of Easter and enter the incredible first-century temple in Mark 11 and find tables that need to be turned. But why? What does prayer have to do with it? And, what are we incredibly called to make sure we don't neglect in this incredible time and place?
