What Had happened at Grace 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.
This week, we began our study of the book of Joel, exploring its major themes of judgment, genuine repentance, and God's ultimate promise of restoration and the outpouring of His Spirit.
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."
From manna in the wilderness to the groceries in your cart, discover how God actively provides for us through Jesus and the vocation of others.
