[Sunday] First You're Last - Missio Dei

ServiceSundaySermons
Written By Cris Escher

It’s always amazing to see us, workers of God’s kingdom, trying to maintain a pecking order of righteousness in the midst of such great generosity of our God. 

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   First You’re Last

  1. When do you feel the pressure to be first or the best?  When has that backfired on you?

  2. Read Matthew 20:1-16.  What is the danger of thinking this parable is about compensation for work completed?

  3. What is the danger of thinking you deserve something special if you’re a diligent worker?

  4. What does it look like for you to rejoice in the “denarius” that God gives to you this week?

This week in our study of Joel, we explored chapters 1 and 2, discussing how the prophet uses the imagery of a devastating locust plague to represent a coming judgment, call God's people to heartfelt repentance, and promise profound restoration and the outpouring of His Spirit.

The Creed cuts through the noise of our own unworthiness to name us as 'good' creatures, loved by a God who honors our flesh and blood enough to redeem it, not just replace it.

We are dusting off the Catechism to discover that the Creed is not just a list of principles to memorize, but a testimony of a God who created, redeemed, and sanctified you.

We celebrated Epiphany with gift bow games and a family gathering where we participated in a “regift” exchange. It was a fun way to close out the Christmas season together.

[Sunday] Epiphany - We Three Kings
[Sunday] Epiphany - We Three Kings

While earthly rulers try to hijack the story of the Magi to claim power, the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh reveal a King who rules through sacrifice and death, calling us to abandon the world's version of greatness for a "different way."
