Isaiah's Vision

Sunday November 17, 2024 10:00 AM

In this exploration of Isaiah's vision, we're reminded of our own encounters with God's holiness and the transformative power of saying 'yes' to His call. The passage from Isaiah 6 paints a vivid picture of God's throne room, with angels proclaiming His holiness. But the heart of the message lies in Isaiah's response to God's question: 'Whom shall I send?' Despite feeling unworthy, Isaiah's willingness to serve becomes a model for us all. We're challenged to confront our own feelings of inadequacy and recognize that through Christ, we too are made worthy to serve. This message encourages us to step out in faith, understanding that our role is simply to be faithful and respond to God's call, leaving the outcomes in His hands. It's a liberating perspective that frees us from the pressure of results and invites us to participate in God's work with confidence and joy.

Beyond The Whale: A Story Of Grace

Sunday November 10, 2024 10:00 AM

The story of Jonah challenges us to confront our own reluctance in following God's call. It's not just about a man and a whale; it's a powerful narrative of God's boundless grace. We often fixate on the miraculous elements, but the real miracle is how God's forgiveness extends even to those we might consider undeserving. This tale invites us to examine our own prejudices and limitations we place on God's love. Are we, like Jonah, running from God's instructions? Are we angry when grace is extended to those we deem unworthy? The transformation of Nineveh reminds us that no one is beyond redemption. It encourages us to be open to God's work in unexpected places and people, and to play our part, however small, in sharing His message of hope and transformation.

Elijah And The Widow

Sunday November 03, 2024 10:00 AM

The story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:1-24) offers a powerful reminder of sacrificial trust, generosity, and God’s provision. When Elijah, an outsider, encounters a widow with only enough flour and oil for her final meal, she chooses to share it with him—challenging her natural instinct to prioritize her own survival. This act transforms scarcity into sustaining abundance, showing us how faith can build community across differences. Like the widow, we are invited to reflect on the power of living with a heart of compassion, prioritizing justice and support for others. Join us as we explore what it means to live with a heart that reflects God’s boundless care for all.

Sandwiched!

Published: October 17, 2024

We discuss the challenges faced by the "sandwich generation," who are responsible for caring for their aging parents and raising their own children simultaneously. Navigating these difficulties can be made easier by turning to one's faith for guidance, comfort, and seeking support from the faith community. By trusting in God's plan, practicing self-care, and finding joy in small moments, individuals can overcome the challenges of the sandwich generation and find peace and contentment in their lives.

Need Prayer? No matter what you're facing, we'd love to pray with you!

There are times when life is overwhelming, when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen.
