To make disciples who love God, love people, and serve the world.

When God gives us a "New Birth", he doesn't just change where we are going but He gives us a "New Hope for a New Life." Our past no longer has the final word, our present circumstances no longer define our worth, and our future is no longer uncertain. Because Christ lives in us, this "New Life" should begin to reshape how we think, how we live, how we hope, and how we see eternity.

Preparing a home. Preparing ministries. Preparing our hearts. We’ve talked a lot about the first two. You can prepare a house. | You can make plans. | You can make lists. | You can figure out what needs to be done. But how do you prepare a heart?

The death and resurrection of Jesus is the very center of our Christian faith. Jesus death makes possible our reconciliation with God. But how exactly does this happen? Faithful Jesus followers have wrestled with this deep mystery for centurys. Many people today misunderstand and reject the grace found in Jesus' death and resurrection. Can scripture help us expand our imagination and appreciation of the Trinity's great rescue in the cross of Christ? Does this expantion help us exprience and express God's great kingdom news?

Before Jesus ascends, he leaves his disciples with one command and one promise: stay and wait for power. In this message based on Acts 1: 1-8. I will share a few reflections on how we can become the kind of people through whom the world can witness the love of Jesus. 1. Dying to your 'self' 2. Obedient to the word of God 3. Acknowledge the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Calling to missions is not reserved for a select few—it flows from the very heart of God and is extended to every follower of Jesus. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as a missionary God, pursuing humanity and inviting His Church to join in His redemptive plan (Missio Dei). In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20), Jesus commands all believers to “go and make disciples of all nations,” making missions not optional but central to our identity and purpose as the Church. And this calling begins with God’s initiative, not human ambition. Throughout Scripture, God calls His people—Abraham to bless the nations, Moses to deliver His people, the prophets to speak truth, and ultimately Jesus as the perfect missionary. In the same way, believers are called to go—whether across the world or across the street—living as witnesses of Christ. While some are called to specific ministries like missions or church planting, every believer shares the same purpose: to make Jesus known through both word and action. And Lastly, the purpose of missions is to glorify God by reaching those who have not yet encountered the gospel. Missions bridge this gap through proclamation and demonstration, meeting both spiritual and physical needs. At the same time, missions transform the messenger, cultivating dependence on God and shifting hearts from self-centered living to kingdom-centered living. Despite modern challenges, the mission remains urgent: to proclaim God’s name, live in obedience, and pursue eternal impact for His glory.

Let us look at this familiar passage again to see Jesus' mandate for His church. Specifically, we will look at the purpose, power and promise given by Jesus to enable His church to bring people of all nations to worship Him. What purpose are you living for? Whose power are you relying on? What promises do you trust in?

Missions begins with our surrender. When we surrender our plans, our comfort, and ultimately ourselves to God. Like the church in Antioch, we learn to listen to the Holy Spirit, submit to godly leadership, and make ourselves available for whatever God calls us to do.

The calling to Mission is not primarily a human idea—it is the overflow of God’s own heart. From Genesis to Revelation, we see a God who pursues, restores, and redeems. The calling to missions begins when we align ourselves with what God is already doing in the world. God’s promise to Abraham was never just about one nation, but that “all nations would be blessed through him.” That means mission is not an optional program of the church; it is the very essence of God’s redemptive plan.

How can anyone wrestle with God and not just survive - but even thrive? From this scripture in this week's Lectionary, we will explore Jacob’s relationship with the God of his Fathers and explore what lessons we can learn about having a more dynamic faith with this same Living God.

"Psalm 51 is not a surface-level apology—it’s a soul-level surrender. David isn’t trying to manage consequences; he’s confronting the condition of his heart. After his sin with Bathsheba, he doesn’t excuse, minimize, or shift blame. He owns it completely: “Against you, you only, have I sinned.” And so a ""Heart of Repentance"" is more than feeling bad about what we’ve done—it’s seeing our sin the way God sees it. It’s grief not just over the outcome, but over the offense against a holy and loving God. It moves from guilt to godly sorrow, from regret to real change."
