You Are Looking For Jesus

Sunday March 31, 2024 10:00 AM

This Sunday, we will delve deep into the heart of what Easter truly means for each of us. It is a celebration not merely of an event in history but of an ongoing reality—a reality where love has conquered sin and darkness, where hope has triumphed over despair, and where life has emerged victorious over death.Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we find the ultimate demonstration of love's power. In His sacrifice, we see the lengths to which love will go to redeem and restore. In His victory over the grave, we find the assurance that no darkness can withstand the light of His love.

Good Friday Service

Friday March 29, 2024 12:00 PM

Come to a contemplative service that seeks to inspire deep reflection on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the Cross for the sake of the world.  Following the service participants will be invited to continue to pray through reflection and artistic expression.

Ordinary Things

Sunday March 24, 2024 10:00 AM

Join us as we explore the transformative journey from feelings of inadequacy to the realization of how the ordinary can achieve the extraordinary, especially when faith and the Holy Spirit are at play. Listen in as we reflect on the narrative of Holy Week, starting with Palm Sunday, and draw parallels between the cries of blind Bartimaeus and the shouts of "Hosanna" from the crowds, all seeking salvation. We discuss the messianic expectations of Jesus' time, rooted in ancient prophecy, and invite you to follow a reading plan that connects the unfolding events leading to Easter, underlining the theme of salvation and the unexpected ways in which Jesus fulfills these deeply-held hopes.In our conversation, we tackle the emotional rollercoaster experienced by those who witnessed Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, juxtaposed with their hopes for a messianic liberator against the reality of his spiritual mission. We discuss the significance of ordinary items like a donkey and palm branches, and how these symbols of hope intertwined with the people's disillusionment when Jesus did not meet their political expectations. Moreover, we delve into the necessity of letting go of these expectations to truly embrace the hope offered by Jesus's teachings. Together, we invite you to join this faith journey, where ordinary people and elements are transformed for God's extraordinary purposes. Amen.
