Renovation Church Teachings

Peace is not the absence of chaos, it is the presence of a Savior. It's not the removal of trouble or the pain in our lives, but the presence of Jesus with us in it. What if true Peace (Shalom) is not something that happens to us, but something we pursue? This message includes a video from @wonderhuntco : https://www.wonderhunt.co/films/here-and-everywhere It is a great reminder that we can find peace in any situation.

Welcome back! Last week was our margin Sunday where we as a church we give a week back to our volunteers, workers and staff - not just to say thank you for your faithful service, but to recharge your batteries, spend time with your family, travel, and most importantly - follow God's example of rest! To celebrate being back together we gathered around the theme of 'Freedom!'. We intentionally made more space for prayer and worship to let God do what only he could do! Pastor Curt brought a short yet powerful message reminding us we are no longer captives, but because of Christ we have Freedom! And in our freedom we are called to bring love and serve others!

This summer as a church we are diving into the book of First Corinthians! This week Pastor Curt preached out of 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 and pointed out the "foolishness of the cross" and how God turned something that at one time was foolish into something that changed the world!

Happy Mother's Day! Today we were blessed to hear from Pastor Curt AND Jan! They have been married for forty years and have been in ministry almost just as long! Together they walked us through part of their story and how they have navigated their marriage till today. Pastor Curt also walked us through what it means to be vulnerable and intimate as people and in marriage. We encourage you to lean in and take notes on this awesome conversation and message!

On this Palm Sunday we have our very own Estevan Zamora bring the word! Starting in Mark 11, Estevan walks us through the events of Palm Sunday and shows us how Jesus chose the path of humility over the path of power. Jesus was not interested in conquering and establishing an earthly kingdom, rather Jesus was focused on conquering the sin of the world! We encourage you to lean into the message and reflect as you prepare for Easter! Make sure to check out https://renovationphx.com/ for all things Renovation!
