[Sunday] Unforgivable Sin - Jesus Said What?!
Despite the alarming mention of an unforgivable sin, the truth of Jesus' words point towards all sins being forgiven for the children of man.

Questions for the Week: Jesus Said What?! - Unforgivable sin?
Even very godly people struggled with the idea of the "unforgivable sin." Why do you think this particular verse (Mark 3:29) causes so much anxiety or misunderstanding for people, even those with strong faith?
Read Mark 3:22-30. The scribes accused Jesus of being demon possessed. Why would Jesus’ opponents make such an illogical accusation?
What kinds of accusations does the Devil level at believers today?
The sermon emphasized that Jesus' mission is to forgive sins, even blasphemies. What specific examples or phrases from the sermon or the scriptures (like Mark 3:28 or Jesus' words on the cross) stood out to you as reminders of God's incredible grace and willingness to forgive?
What Had happened at Grace this week.
Please join us for an informational meeting between our two Sunday services to discuss Grace bringing in Claubert as a Vicar.
our Bible study explored Jonah as holy satire and a mirror of mercy—challenging our comfort with God loving enemies, tracing creation motifs, and connecting to Jesus’ “sign of Jonah.”
When we are drowning in anxiety and noise, Jesus steps in to flip the tables, pushing back the chaotic waters like on day 2 of creation, so we can finally catch our breath.
Our class closed Amos with chapter 9’s sweeping judgment and surprising hope, then turned to Obadiah’s focus on Edom and all nations, tracing themes of justice, restoration, and God’s kingship with messianic echoes.

Though prayers may go unanswered and institutions may fail, the true test of faith is in a God whose work of salvation is never halted.
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.

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"

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.

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?

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.
