Welcome to Maple Hill

"Our New Operating System" (Luke 5:33-39)

Have you ever had to replace a phone or computer simply because it could no longer run the latest updates? It can be frustrating. After all, those devices weren't cheap, and if you've taken good care of them, it seems like they should keep working indefinitely. Shouldn't there be some reward for maintaining what you have?

Shouldn't you be able to wear a badge of honor for resisting the urge to buy the newest model every year?

Yet no matter how much we may want to hold on to aging technology, the reality is that modern programs won't run on Windows 95. Eventually, the old system can no longer support what is new.

In some ways, our faith can face a similar challenge. We often want to hold on to familiar traditions, habits, and ways of thinking while simply adding Jesus to the mix. But as Jesus teaches, His way of life cannot merely be patched onto our old way of living. Following Him requires more than an upgrade; it requires a completely new operating system.

This Sunday morning at Maple Hill, we'll explore how Jesus calls us to allow Him to reshape our lives rather than trying to reshape Him to fit our preferences and traditions. As we study His words, we'll see that when we attempt to mix the old with the new, the results can be disastrous. True discipleship begins when we allow Jesus—not our traditions, assumptions, or habits—to define the way we live.
