Resources for Fasting – June 11th, 2020

Morning Prayer Read: Acts 8:1-24 Reflect: There are a few themes to notice and reflect on in this scripture. First, though Saul was persecuting the church, it’s clear that God uses persecution to advance his Kingdom. Matthew 5:10 says “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” A second theme from this passage is Simon the Magician’s attempt to use the Holy Spirit for personal gain. You may not have tried to literally buy God’s power with money, but do you ever fall into the temptation of viewing God as the […]

Gone Fishing

Click here to view Sunday’s message INTRODUCTION Let’s be honest. I think we all have experienced seasons in our lives where we felt like God did not care or even worse, he was completely absent.  We reason and ask: if he cares, why am I going through what I am going through? How could this happen to me if God is on my side? We find this sentiment in the Old Testament as well when God sent his messenger to Gideon to inform him that he was going to use Gideon to bring deliverance to others.  Gideon asked, “but […]

Go and Make Disciples

Click here to view Sunday’s message INTRODUCTION “Go and make disciples.” With this short instruction to the disciples at the end of his time on earth, Jesus captured the heart of what a life of following Jesus is all about. When life feels disorienting, through trial and joy, seasons of doubt and certainty, in the midst of social and political divisions, the mission to “go and make disciples” remains our true north. So what would it look like to make this our primary mission each day? For the disciples, Jesus instructed them to baptize all nations in the name […]

Turning Your Shame into God’s Fame

Click here to view Sunday’s message INTRODUCTION If we think about our lives, we can recall times that we felt shame because of an embarrassing moment, failure, or perceived judgement from others. Peter’s story had moments of tremendous shame. You see, he was adamantly for Jesus throughout their relationship. He even declared in front of Jesus and others that he was willing to go with him anywhere even if it cost his life. Imagine the shame Peter felt when he denied Jesus 3 times even when he said he wouldn’t do it moments before. However, in this encounter, Jesus […]

Psalm 13 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?* 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?* 3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,* 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.* 5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.* 6 I […]

Vision Correction

Click here to view Sunday’s message How clearly are you seeing Jesus these days?  You and I have never had the opportunity to stand face to face with Jesus; but even when his disciples met him after his resurrection, but they were unable to recognize him. In fact, Luke tells us that as Jesus joined 2 of his disciples on the road they were “prevented from recognizing him” (Luke 24:16). What was it that was preventing them from seeing what should have been the fulfillment of their deepest hope? In the story, the disciples reveal their disappointment with what […]
