What Had happened at Grace this week.
Please join us for an informational meeting between our two Sunday services to discuss Grace bringing in Claubert as a Vicar.
Our class closed Amos with chapter 9’s sweeping judgment and surprising hope, then turned to Obadiah’s focus on Edom and all nations, tracing themes of justice, restoration, and God’s kingship with messianic echoes.
The Triumphal Entry shows us the difference. We chase the 'wins' of this world; Jesus rides into the darkness of this world. We look for success; He brings the Light that saves.
This week, our study of Amos 6-8 revealed God's unwavering standard of justice, showing how complacency, social injustice, and the rejection of His word lead to inescapable judgment, symbolized by a plumb line and a basket of summer fruit.
When we are drowning in anxiety and noise, Jesus steps in to flip the tables, pushing back the chaotic waters like on day 2 of creation, so we can finally catch our breath.
