Even a difficult teaching on divorce ultimately points not to a legalistic rule, but to the boundless grace that unconditionally welcomes everyone.
Jesus' challenging words invite us to cut off the very things that are keeping us from Kingdom greatness.
When so many feel like they are pushed to the outside, Jesus reveals a profound truth about His kingdom where even the smallest portion of His grace is more than enough.

[Sunday] Send Me - Missio Dei Part 4
The mission of God’s true power often emerges not in grand victories but in its quiet, persistent continuation in the face of resistance and failures.
The mission of God’s true power often emerges not in grand victories but in its quiet, persistent continuation in the face of resistance and failures.
Questions for the Week: Missio Dei - Send Me
Can you recall a time in your life, or in the life of a group you've been a part of, where a mission or effort felt like a "failure" but you later saw God working through it in an unexpected way?
Read Isaiah 6:8-13. Isaiah and Paul experienced the sharing of God's message with people who didn't want to listen. Have you ever felt like you were trying to share something important about your faith, but the other person wasn't receptive? How did that make you feel?
Read Acts 28:23-32. In what ways did things not quite go as planned for Paul as he ended up in chains? Acts tells us that he was “proclaiming the kingdom of God…with all boldness and without hindrance.” How does God continue to work in those times when things don’t go as planned?
"Here I am! Send me!" What's one "unglamorous" or challenging opportunity you see right now, either personally or in our community, where you feel God might be calling you to say "send me"
What Had happened at Grace this week.
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.
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."

Haiti Update / Second Story on Clinic
See what is happening in Haiti and with the Habitat for Children ministries. There is a lot of good work being done, along with many challenges and struggles that they continue to face.
We are excited that the 2nd story of the Clinic and Care center are almost completed.
Haiti is filled with many stories of struggle and resilience as well. Below are some recent updates about what is currently happening around our Clinic.
The people are standing with jugs of water, patiently waiting for their turn at the hand pump. Unfortunately, there is simply not enough capacity to meet the water demand.
The mobile clinic is already seeing patients this morning, showing the urgent need for healthcare in the community. Many families depend on this important service, so it’s essential to provide proper support for timely and effective care.
How to Support:
Donate medical supplies and equipment
Push for policies that support mobile healthcare
Volunteer medical or logistical help
Work with local groups to reach more people
We need your help for Dorsaint Wilbens
He crashed on a motorcycle and was released from the hospital because there was no available room for him to stay.
Did you know almost 1 in 5 Haitians can’t get good medical care? Good care means more than just seeing a doctor—it means having someone who listens and understands you. Everyone deserves kind and helpful healthcare. Let’s come together to push for better medical services! Your voice counts. Share your thoughts or mention a healthcare hero below!
[Sunday] Distinct Mission - Missio Dei Part 4
The divine mission transcends human distinctions, revealing a grace that embraces all and thoughtfully extends love to every neighbor.
The divine mission transcends human distinctions, revealing a grace that embraces all and thoughtfully extends love to every neighbor.
Questions for the Week: Missio Dei - Distinct Mission
The early church struggled with what rules Gentile Christians needed to follow, especially around circumcision. Can we think of any "unspoken rules" or expectations we sometimes place on people today?
Read Acts 15:1-21. Peter and James ultimately decided it was about "not troubling" the Gentiles and prioritizing the good of their neighbor. In what ways can we actively apply this idea of "not troubling" others or considering our neighbor's perspective in our daily interactions, even when we feel we have personal freedom in a situation?
Can you recall a time when you (or someone you know) had to adjust your "freedom" or practices out of consideration for someone else's beliefs or sensitivities? What was that experience like?
How can we, as a community, foster an environment where both grace and thoughtful consideration for others' consciences are prioritized?

[Sunday] Zeal In The Way - Missio Dei Part 4
While our fervent passions can inadvertently get in the way, God's relentless love empowers us to join His expansive mission, extending grace to all.

Questions for the Week: Missio Dei - Zeal In The Way
Can you think of a time when you were really zealous or passionate about something, and discuss whether that zeal was helpful or unhelpful in that situation?
Read Acts 11 (specifically focus on the verses around verse 17) and Peter saying, "who was I that I could stand in God's way?" Can you think of situations where you might be, or have been, unintentionally standing in God's way because of your own ideas or traditions, even if you thought we were doing the right thing?
Paul's transformation was key in the sermon (Philippians 3:4-6). What do we learn from his journey about how our understanding of God and faith can change and grow over time, and what does that mean for us?
The sermon ended by reminding us that "Christians are little Christs" and are called to bring God's love to unexpected people. Where have you seen unexpected people come into the family of faith?

[Sunday] July 6 - Who is the Beloved? - Christ in the Psalms
LOVE is at the core of Jesus’ PURPOSE, His WORDS, His DEEDS, His DEATH, His RESURRECTION, His ASCENSION, and His sending the HOLY SPIRIT. Today we explore the most important thing we need to know about His SERVANT LOVE.
The Book of Psalms has become one of the most overlooked books in the Bible. The psalms not only helped Jesus grow into being the Son of God, they also reveal Christ to us in helpful ways. We will consider several psalms as we try to put on the mind of Christ.
