2 2 LESSON 4: EXTREME MAKEOVER: WHOLE LIFE EDITION 3 Extreme Makeover: Whole Life Edition Turn on the television and you may find a whole list of programs built upon an original show entitled, Extreme Makeover, in which a deserving person is given a facial and body makeover that has the potential of changing lives. Now one can find such takeoffs on the program as Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Rev. Dr. Art Scherer wrote this Bible study for use with the Capital Stewardship Campaign. Art is president emeritus of the Southeastern District, LCMS, and, serves as a regional consultant for Capital Funding Services (CFS). He helps congregations and their leaders grow in the grace of giving through biblically based, capital campaigns and stewardship workshops. In addition to his work with CFS, Art serves on the Board of Regents of Concordia College New York, Bronxville, N.Y.; as an Ablaze! Ambassador for the LCMS; and as chair of the Development Advisory Group for Augsburg Lutheran Home, Baltimore, Md. He has been called upon as a presenter and facilitator for workshops, seminars, and conferences in many LCMS districts. Dr. Scherer authored Becoming a Trustee of Lutheran Values, an orientation guide for governing boards, published in 2005 by Lutheran Services in America. Consecrated Stewards: A Stewardship Program to Grow in Proportionate Giving was developed by Art in 2006 for LCEF and is used by many congregations annually. Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition Extreme Makeover: Car Edition The theme of our Bible study today is Extreme Makeover: Whole Life Edition. The Biblical text at the heart of our study is 2 Cor. 5: Read that passage as background for our discussion. If you could have a makeover of your life, what would you change? What would you certainly want to keep the same? 2012, Capital Funding Services, a ministry of Lutheran Church Extension Fund, Sunset Office Drive, Suite 300, St. Louis, MO Manufactured in the U.S.A.

3 4 LESSON 4: EXTREME MAKEOVER: WHOLE LIFE EDITION 5 St. Paul says, Behold everything has become new and if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! (2 Cor. 5:17 NRSV) Do you think you would really want to be new? Or would you rather just be the way you used to be or go back to being young? Would you rather just be the same you without some of the problems that you are dealing with now? What about your congregation: does it want to be new or does it want things to go back to the way they used to be? How might the project at the heart of your Capital Stewardship Campaign help your congregation become new? Being new often means giving up control of some of the things that make you who you are. (Remember the story of the Rich Ruler in a previous Bible study? It was at the point of giving up control and following Jesus that he turned away in sadness.) In fact, becoming new means dying to the old and living a new life in Christ. Luther reminded us to renew our baptism daily. What happened to us in our baptism? What does it mean to renew our baptism daily? Read 2 Cor. 5: What is the nature of such a new life? How are we changed? Such an extreme makeover takes motivation. Of the following motivators for change, which do you think are the greatest and most effective in the long term? Which are the least effective in the long term? Fear Duty Love Hatred Material gain Other Read 2 Cor. 5:14. What is the motivator according to this verse? Read that verse again from various translations, if possible. What does Christ s love do? You may have discovered that, according to various translations, Christ s love compels us, controls us, constrains us, urges us on, etc. One commentator compared the picture to white-water rafting. Have any of you ever been white-water rafting? What really controlled the direction of where the raft went?
4 6 LESSON 4: EXTREME MAKEOVER: WHOLE LIFE EDITION 7 The picture here is that of a life that is controlled by Christ s love. Christ s love compels us, controls us, constrains us, urges us on as we travel with Him as participants in His mission, rolling through the white-water rapids of life, living not for ourselves, but for Him who died and gave Himself for others. And we know we can trust Him because verse 14 says, He died for all. Martin Luther once said that he was so grateful that the Scripture said, He died for all rather than He died for Martin Luther, because if it had said He died for Martin Luther, he would have worried that perhaps there was some other Martin Luther for whom Christ died rather than him. But He died for all, including Martin Luther, you, me and all those who have yet to hear the story of His love. Because of that, we know that we are not only new, but we also look at others in a new way. Read verses As we approach commitment time for our Capital Stewardship Campaign, think about how your calling to be new in Christ as a child of a generous God will affect what you will say yes to and what you will say no to in making a sacrificial commitment to partner with God in His mission in this place. Our Capital Stewardship Campaign provides the opportunity for people to re-examine the direction of their lives. It may provide opportunity for an Extreme Makeover: Whole Life Edition. The key question will be what controls the decisions we make regarding the priorities in our lives. Does the love of Christ compel us to live no longer for ourselves but for Him who died for us? Will our status as a people made new in Christ control the yes and no of how we deploy our resources, or will the priorities of this world lead us away from being new and tempt us back to being just a younger, richer, thinner version of our same old self? How do we now see people differently than we used to see them? It also means that we look at all of life in a new way. And that includes the way we deal with our time, our money, our relationships. We are now people who have a mission. Once we were no people, but now we are God s people, children of a generous God, sent to serve Him and those around us in word and deed (1 Peter 2:9-10; 4:10-11). When people know their mission and their purpose, they know what they will say yes to and what they will say no to. When they do not know their mission and purpose, others will seek to influence the decisions they make. How many commercials do you think you are exposed to in the course of a day? Each of those is designed to get you to say yes to a way in which you will spend your time or your money. Remember Zacchaeus in a previous lesson? How did becoming new in Christ affect the way he dealt with his time and money?
