Mission of Hope SundayWhat moves you to give to others? Discover what Jesus taught his disciples about what lies at the heart of our discipleship.
In the passages leading into the Sermon on the Mount we see Jesus' approach to a hurting world. He finds us where we are, teaches us God's heart, and proclaims that he comes to us. The ones who are Blessed, are those who know their need, and are humble enough to receive what he comes to give. How can we learn from Jesus' approach to us, as we approach others in his name?
When Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, he encountered all the real struggles and temptations of our human reality. That's why we can trust Jesus to be with us and to show us the way when we find ourselves in the wilderness. In fact, sometimes that is exactly why we have been led there in the first place.
In Matthew 3 John the Baptist calls us to a washing, to repent of the ‘gunk’ that keeps us from seeing what the Lord has come to do in us. But Jesus moves us into a whole new kind of baptism- one not about what we’ve done, but about what he does! Being Baptized in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit, we receive adoption into his saving work on our behalf! As we live in a world of gunk we find our Glory is in his grace alone!
Our summer series begins as we seek to encounter Jesus the Messiah in the Gospel according to Matthew. But how can we be sure that Jesus really is the Messiah? Join us as we start our journey together.
When we know we've been seen by God, seeing his heart in Jesus' sacrificial love, we are Spirit sent, in unique ways, to help others know they are seen, and see him too!
Today staff leaders of our different forms of "Here" ministries share how they have seen "Grace in Every Corner" of these ministries that nurture the growth of disciples. Might God be calling you to lend your gifts to bless one of these 'corners' of his kingdom work?
Executive Director Mike Greenbaum and Community Transportation Coordinator Scott Olson from Newtrax in White Bear Lake, MN fill us in on the history of the organization, pivoting during a pandemic, and the future.
As we celebrate the gift of mothering, we must acknowledge the increasing need for grace to be present in our households. What does the grace of Jesus look like inside the four walls of our home and how does this grace advance God's Kingdom in the world?
