[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.
We all have days we’ll never forget; when the phone rang, the diagnosis came, and everything fell apart. Jeremiah 25, points to a day of infamy just like this. But also in Gethsemane, Jesus steps right into the middle of our darkest moments to offer us a hope that nothing can uproot.
A lively Bible study traced Mark’s unfolding revelation of Jesus—from John’s beheading and the feeding signs through Peter’s confession and the Transfiguration to prayerful dependence—highlighting Jewish and Gentile symbolism, numbers (5, 7, 12, 4), the Son of Man/Son of God themes, and the call to faith, humility, and cross-shaped discipleship.
It’s incredibly easy to look at the world, point fingers, and feel secure just because we are the righteous. Jeremiah 7 shows us how God wants to uproot our pride and plant His grace.
This year was another great success, providing so many children with the bags and supplies they need for the new school year.
Our class on September 17, 2026, explored how Jesus's miracles and teachings in Mark 6-8 challenge worldly power, culminating in Peter's flawed confession and Jesus's radical call to a discipleship of self-denial and sacrifice.
When the world feels frozen in a bleak winter, God shows us the almond branch. He is awake. He is on the move. Jesus took the destruction upon Himself on the cross so He could plant the breath of new life in you!
[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.

[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!
