Have you ever been caught talking to yourself? Well this weekend we are going to be talking about “talking to God.“ I hope you will join us either online or live. We will also be praying for people with physical and emotional needs.
The resilience – the integrity – the ‘wholeness’ of your faith as we’ve been talking about throughout this entire series, is tested and proven amidst hardships – like sickness. In a season where this is particularly relevant, we look at the way the local church has always found ways to head towards those suffering illness with the love and power of Jesus.
In this weekend’s message, we jumped back into our series Living Whole in a Fractured World: A Letter from James, and Pastor Dary led us to look at Trust. Who do you trust? Eroded trust is everywhere in our culture, and it impacts how we view, trust or distrust God. It is God and God alone who can ultimately be fully trusted. He is not a liar. He is the truth. I am hopeful that your discussions this week will be rich!
Whole people trust God for tomorrow - ‘Trust God’ being the emphasis of this title, not ‘for tomorrow’, because James’s point is that that isn’t promised. But one thing that is promised - that we especially trust God for - is that Jesus WILL return. So ‘Live beyond the mist’ (James 4:14)!
Pastor John leads our discussion this week on what it means to trust God and live 'beyond the mist'
Who do you trust? Trust is one of the biggest topics we could ever discuss. It impacts so many decisions in our lives every single day. We hope you join us this weekend as we discuss this topic. Join online or live. Can’t wait to see you there!
This world is not our home. According to Matthew 24:14 the way home is through the nations. Jesus came to redeem a multitude from all peoples, languages, and cultures to Himself (Revelation) and it cost Him dearly. We are invited to join Him in His missionary redemption plan, and as it cost Jesus, it will cost us. We are going to have to fight as Jesus fought, bleed as Jesus bled, and pray as Jesus prayed. If we will do so among and for the 6500 unreached people groups of earth (who total 3.2 billion people), King Jesus will return, and we can all go home.
We take a break this week from our James series for our annual Missions Focus Weekend. Join our special guest speaker, Ron Maddux as he leads our discussion this week.
