[Sunday] You Are Stars - Missio Dei Part 5
Just as taking in a panoramic view can remind us that everything will be okay, Revelation 7 and the promises of God invite us to step back and behold the ultimate beautiful picture.

What Had happened at Grace this week.
When we treat time like a shrinking commodity, our families and neighbors can feel like frustrating interruptions. This week, we see how Jesus frees us to see those interruptions as gifts.
Bible study traced Mark 9:2–50 into Mark 10:1–52, emphasizing humility over status, protecting “little ones,” radical measures against sin, God’s design for marriage, childlike faith, the danger of wealth, servant greatness, and true spiritual vision.
The shoes you put on every day when you work or shop are actually a mask of God, they are the very way He walks into the world to provide for His creation.
What a great weekend. We welcomed in 12 new members at Grace Lutheran PSL. We Also celebrated Pastor Cris’ 10th anniversary at Grace.
[Sunday] Faith & Fear - Missio Dei Part 5
When anxiety hits, we usually tell ourselves “faith over fear.” but perhaps God is calling us to something deeper: faith with the fear of the Lord. See how the massive, awesome power of God is actually the perfect resting place for our fearful hearts.

What Had happened at Grace this week.
This sermon could just as easily be titled YHWH I AM EGO EIMI. Today we are going to take a journey to the Land of Holiness. When we get there, we will still be here.. Yes, that is a paradox. No, we are not going to leave this sanctuary. This is a journey of the heart, of the soul. Once we know where holiness lives, it will come alive in us.

[Sunday] The Bow - Missio Dei Part 5
When we read the flood story, it's so easy to focus on the destruction, but the true focus is the rainbow. 1 Peter chapter 3 shows us something amazing: God’s bow points us straight to the cross, the empty tomb, and the hope we have in deep waters.

[Sunday] Witness & See - Missio Dei Part 5
God frees us from the frightening prospect of “evangelism”. For true witnessing is seeing others, and joyfully sharing the beauty of the God who rescues us.

[Sunday] Priestly Prayers - Missio Dei Part 5
Jesus frees us from the pressure of having to pray the "perfect" way. Because He is the Lamb who was slain, you can pray boldly knowing your Father in heaven hears you!

Jesus specializes in choosing the unimpressive, the broken, and the flawed to represent His presence and love to the world. You are a royal priesthood!
