Getting It Right

It's not about the rules and regulations.

and that we all deserve the mercy of the God who is merciful to us.

We could be many other places on a Sunday. Instead, we’re here.

Our presence is a testimony to the one into whom we believe and by whom we are transformed.

We are searching for the reassurance that despite all our faults and failings we have life – eternal life.
But what does this mean?
It means that death is not the end of life but the beginning.
That beyond the grave we will live forever in heaven with God.

We know we abide in Christ when we love Him.
We know we abide in Christ when we love one another.
We know we abide in Christ when we love our neighbors as ourselves.
We know we abide in Christ when we love even our enemies.

The world is in dire straits right now.
And why is that?
Because we can’t – we won’t – do what Jesus is asking us to do.
It’s not so hard to understand, but it is so hard to live.

Facing Doubt in our Faith Journey

God provides community as a model for believers.

A place where we are loved, despite our doubts.
A place where we can study God’s word.
A place where we can learn the model of living Jesus demonstrated.
A place where we can learn how to love God and others.
A place where we can live lives of love, acceptance, forgiveness, and trust.

Horizon of Hope

The one indispensable tenet of Christian belief is the Resurrection.

Without the Resurrection, there would be no Christianity.

It provides us with a horizon of hope because it reveals God’s gracious intentions for all humankind.

Secret Discipleship

3/10/2024

0 Comments

You can't be a secret disciple of Christ.
Either secrecy will destroy the discipleship,
or the discipleship -- if it's real and alive -- will destroy the secrecy.

Don't be afraid of what the world will think.
Live your faith for all to see.

- George Fletcher

Scripture Readings:
Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22
Luke 23:50-53, John 19:38-42
