The Urgency of Mercy
The Grace of God does not wait for the correct response. It Produces it.

Music isn’t the only source of harmonies. Stories, too, can harmonize, as this passage from the book of Mark illustrates so profoundly. The two healings that Christ performs complement one another. They’re juxtaposed. They’re intertwined. They’re meant to be read together…………………………….

[Sunday] Restoration - Forgiving Challenge
While Peter may still be pining over his past, Jesus is hyper-focused on pointing Peter towards the future. Jesus restores the original call He placed on his life. Not only does God forgive you, but God loves you.

[Sunday] Absolution - Forgiving Challenge
Jesus beautifully recreates Peter’s worst moment in order to show how Jesus is unafraid to enter into our worst moments, which gives us enough grace to cover even the worst parts of our stories.

[Sunday] Confession - Forgiving Challenge
Much like with Peter, Jesus invites all of us back into His presence through confession. But this practice simply shows Jesus positioning Himself to give us His grace, even if we don’t have the words to say how we feel.

[Sunday] Sin - Forgiving Challenge
Every single one of us misses the mark. As inventive, creative, and successful as humans can be in many aspects of life to overcome issues, the only way to overcome our sin is through Jesus.

[Sunday] S.C.A.R.S. - Forgiving Challenge
Today we look back at the time when a resurrected Jesus burst into the disciples’ room. One of the surprising elements of the glorified body of Jesus was that scars remained on His hands. What does this weird detail say about God, and us, as we think about forgiveness and freedom?

[Sunday] The Party - Titus Chapter 3
On one side you have an unhinged society, and on the other you have the strict law of compliance. But when it seems we are offered only those two realities, Paul reminds us that we are already at the party.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK: The Party
What do Christians often quarrel with those outside of the faith about? What do christians quarrel with those inside of the faith about? Why do you think they do that?
Read Titus 3. What advice does Paul give to us? Why can christians be free to live gentle lives and avoid such quarrels?
Titus is clear that we are to stand firm in the freedom of the death and resurrection of Jesus. That Jesus alone has saved us. How does this impact your walk with God and your neighbors around you?
New Song this Sunday
The audio only is the actual song we will use. The video will help with Melody.

Ghostbusters, Gozer, and Jesus
When I was a kid, a young kid, say five years old, my dad was approached by one of our neighbors, who wanted to know if everything was OK in our house. My dad was perplexed because, on our quiet cul-de-sac, everything was always OK. Nothing exciting ever happened and that was how the residents on the quiet cul-de-sac liked things………………………
Naaman the mighty man of war has leprosy, but his story shows us how human pride expects a show while God brings true healing through the small, ordinary, and unimpressive things.
