Pastor Luke Simmons closes out our “The Blessed Life” series by teaching on the final Beatitude: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake.”In this message, he explains the call to live the way of Jesus, what we should expect when we do (including opposition and persecution), and how to respond by reframing our suffering with eternal perspective and rejoicing. Luke also shares the powerful story of Hakan, a Turkish pastor who has endured real persecution and continues to serve Christ with hope.The Hakan video is available at: https://youtu.be/BP7IKBruZsM00:00 - Introduction04:32 - Call to Action:  Live the Way of Jesus08:16 - What to Expect:  Opposition and Persecution16:11 - How to Handle It:  Reframe with Rejoicing**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Barbara Peters and Patrick Millikinin conversation with Michael Connelly

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series, **“The Blessed Life,”** by unpacking Jesus' words, *“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”* (Matthew 5:9). In a world filled with conflict, gossip, and division, what does it actually mean to resemble our Father in heaven by making peace?Drawing from Scripture and everyday life, Pastor Seth explores how true peacemaking begins with peace with God through Christ and then flows into our relationships—with friends, family, enemies, and even those who have deeply hurt us. He also contrasts real, costly peacemaking with both destructive conflict and a shallow “peace, peace” that ignores reality.Whether you struggle with conflict avoidance, anger, gossip, or just feel overwhelmed by broken relationships, this message will help you see both the hope and the responsibility of living as a peacemaker.---⏱️ **Message Outline****00:00 – Introduction**  Seth opens with a personal story about resembling his earthly father and connects it to how followers of Jesus are called to resemble their Father in heaven. He introduces Matthew 5:9 and frames the sermon around what it means to be a peacemaker in a fractured world.**03:54 – Anti-peace Makers**  Before defining biblical peacemaking, Seth looks at its opposites: gossip, slander, division, faction-building, and false “peace.” He shows how our culture often celebrates these patterns, and how even Christians can justify them. He also explains the danger of saying “peace, peace” when there is no peace, and how Jesus disrupts false peace in order to bring true reconciliation.**25:58 – The Ultimate Peacemaker**  Here Seth turns to Jesus as the model and source of all peacemaking. He walks through how Christ makes peace between God and people through the cross, and how Jesus brings peace to surprising groups: sellouts, outcasts, oppressors, obvious sinners, judgmental religious people, and even close friends who have failed Him. From 2 Corinthians 5, he explains our calling as ambassadors of reconciliation.**34:30 – Wisdom for Peacemaking**  In this final section, Seth offers practical, biblical wisdom for living as peacemakers: seeking first to understand, refusing one-sided narratives, resisting gossip, and doing “as far as it depends on you” to live at peace with others (Romans 12:18). He also addresses why we often struggle to make peace—our insecurity before God—and calls us back to the grace and security we have in Christ as the foundation for real peacemaking.---This message is part of **“The Blessed Life”** series through the Beatitudes, exploring what it truly means to live under the blessing of Jesus in everyday life.00:00 - Introduction03:54 - Anti-peace Makers25:58 - The Ultimate peacemaker34:30 - Wisdom for peacemaking**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons explores what Jesus means when he says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). In this message from our series “A Blessed Life,” Luke unpacks what the Bible means by “heart,” why purity of heart matters, and how it clears or clouds our vision of God. He also shows how we can pursue a pure heart through trusting Christ and guarding what we allow to shape our inner life.BOOKMARKS:00:00 - Introduction: Until Initiative update & breaking ground05:39 - Big Idea: Your vision of God is clarified or clouded by your heart06:46 - Your Heart: What the Bible actually means by “heart”11:14 - Pure in Heart: Internal vs. external and the single-minded heart15:59 - Seeing God: What it means to “see” God now and in eternity24:25 - Pursue Purity of Heart: Put your hope in Jesus and guard your heart**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons continues our series, “The Blessed Life,” by teaching on Jesus' words, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” (Matthew 5:7). In this message, Luke explains what mercy is, why it is central to God's character and to our own experience of salvation, and how followers of Christ are called to live merciful lives.  Looking at parables like the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18) and the Good Samaritan (Luke 10), we see that mercy is compassion in action—expressed through forgiveness and practical care for those who are hurting. As people who have received an unpayable debt of mercy from God, we are invited to extend that same mercy to others.00:00 - Introduction07:19 - What does it mean to be merciful?10:37 - Why are Christ's people to be merciful?19:31 - What does it look like to be merciful?**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series, “The Blessed Life,” teaching on Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” In this message, Pastor Seth explores:- Why our deepest desires are often unsatisfied  - The difference between righteousness and self-righteousness  - How our longing for “things to be right” ultimately leads us to God himself  - Practical ways to train our desires through comparison to God, fasting, and feasting on his Word  Discover how Jesus reframes desire, disappointment, and true satisfaction in the Christian life.00:00 - Introduction03:46 - Desire11:53 - Disappointment15:37 - Dikaiosunē23:53 - Discipline**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series, “The Good Life,” by unpacking what Jesus means when he says, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In a world that celebrates aggression, self-promotion, and getting even, meekness can sound like weakness or irrelevance. But Jesus presents meekness as a Spirit-shaped strength: the steadiness of a “heavy bag” that absorbs insult without lashing out, and the yielded power of a “broken and bridled” horse led by its rider.In this message, Pastor Seth:- Explores the nature of biblical meekness (or gentleness)  - Looks at examples of meekness in Moses, Paul, and Jesus  - Talks about how daily, deliberate discipleship forms meekness in us  - Points us to the staggering promise that the meek will inherit not just the land, but the whole earth in Christ  This sermon is part of our Beatitudes study in “The Good Life,” where we learn how Jesus turns the values of the world upside down and invites us into a better way to live.00:00 - Introduction08:30 - The Nature of Meekness14:12 - The Meekness of Moses16:51 - The Meekness of Paul19:25 - The Meekness of Jesus28:16 - How We Become Meek34:10 - What the Meek Inherit**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons continues our series The Blessed Life with a message from Matthew 5:4, exploring what it means to be “those who mourn” and why Jesus calls them blessed. This sermon looks at the kind of sorrow that leads to real comfort, focusing on a right response to sin, both in our own lives and in the world around us.Rather than avoiding grief or numbing it, Jesus invites us to face it honestly. In this message, Pastor Luke explains how a healthy, God-centered sorrow shapes our hearts, draws us closer to Him, and ultimately leads to lasting comfort and restoration.If you've ever wondered how sadness, repentance, and hope fit together in the Christian life, this teaching offers a clear and grounded perspective.00:00 - Introduction13:03 - What Jesus Did19:41 - Who We Are28:16 - How We Now Live**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons begins a new series called “The Blessed Life,” looking at what Jesus says the truly good life is in Matthew 5:1–12, the Beatitudes. In this message, he focuses on the first Beatitude: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Luke explores what “blessed” really means, how being “poor in spirit” is different from just being sad or shy, and why recognizing our spiritual need is the starting point for experiencing God's kingdom. He contrasts self-righteous confidence with humble dependence on God, using Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18. This short sermon was preached when the church celebrated baptisms, highlighting how each story of life change begins with the realization, “I need mercy.”**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

In this episode, Brent Lavin shares how two decades in product and portfolio management at GE Healthcare, C.R. Bard, and BD shaped his mission to help Series A and B medtech startups build commercial logic into every stage of innovation. Brent breaks down what surprised him most moving from strategics to early-stage teams and why large companies often operate like startups when resources must be earned through influence, not authority. The conversation dives into how his engineering training powers a structured, “marketing-as-a-science” approach to product management, the most-missed elements of customer discovery, and a concrete example of winning by simplifying a “Cadillac” product into a segmented solution. Brent also unpacks what strategics look for in acquisitions plus lessons from LSI, leadership, and the discipline of endurance running.Brent Lavin LinkedInIronwood Medtech Partners LinkedInDuane Mancini LinkedInProject Medtech WebsiteProject Medtech LinkedInThank you to our sponsors: Ward Law and JumpStart Inc.

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches from Hebrews 12 on the meaning of Good Friday and the joy that led Jesus to endure the cross. In this Good Friday service, we consider not only what happened at the crucifixion, but why Jesus willingly suffered and died. Seth traces the joy behind Jesus (the eternal love and joy within the Trinity), the joy before Jesus (His delight in redeeming and presenting His people), and the joy He shares with us (the joy of the Lord as our strength in temptation, suffering, and perseverance).  This service invites us to reflect on Christ's death, the love that motivated it, and how His joy now empowers our everyday obedience and endurance.00:00 - Introduction08:22 - Big Idea09:09 - The Joy Behind Jesus14:59 - The Joy Before Jesus24:06 - The Joy He Shares With Us

Pastor Luke Simmons walks through Acts 17 and the Apostle Paul's message in Athens to show how the resurrection of Jesus is the most important truth for every generation. Preaching from Paul's address at the Areopagus, Pastor Luke explains:- The God who needs nothing but wants you  - How God has placed you “when” and “where” you are so that you might seek Him  - Why God commands all people everywhere to repent  - How the resurrection of Jesus is God's proof that He will judge the world and can save anyone who turns to Him  This Easter sermon concludes with three ways people responded then—and still respond today—to the risen Christ: mocking, investigating, or believing.  If you're exploring Christianity, returning to church, or celebrating Easter as a follower of Jesus, this message will help you consider what the resurrection means for you and how you will respond.00:00 - Introduction06:49 - God Needs Nothing08:31 - God Wants You13:34 - God Commands Repentance16:41 - God Gives Assurance

Pastor Luke Simmons delivers the final message in our series, *The Glory of Salvation*, focusing on the powerful hope of glorification found in 1 Corinthians 15:42–58. In this sermon, we explore what it means for believers to be raised imperishable, transformed, and victorious through Jesus Christ.As the series concludes, this message points us to the ultimate fulfillment of our salvation—where death is defeated, and we are fully restored in glory. Pastor Luke unpacks the Apostle Paul's teaching on the resurrection of the body, reminding us that our future is secure and our present lives have eternal purpose.Whether you've followed the entire series or are joining for the first time, this sermon offers encouragement, clarity, and a renewed perspective on the hope we have in Christ.**Scripture:** 1 Corinthians 15:42–58**Series:** The Glory of SalvationBe encouraged, stand firm, and remember—your labor in the Lord is not in vain.00:00 - Introduction05:04 - What Glorification Is07:53 - What Glorification Promises25:51 - What Glorification Changes**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints in this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation." What happens between the moment you're saved and the day you die or Jesus returns? Can a true Christian lose their salvation? Working from Jeremiah 32, John 10, and other key passages, Pastor Seth explains why those who have been truly born again cannot be “unborn again,” how God holds His people fast, and what the Bible says about genuine faith, vain faith, and weak faith. He also helps us think through assurance of salvation, eternal security, and how to respond when people appear to walk away from the faith.This sermon is part of our broader exploration of salvation—its process, its promises, and its hope for this life and the life to come.00:00 - Introduction11:02 - Two types of Faith12:12 - Genuine Faith17:29 - Vain Faith26:45 - Two Sides of Perseverance27:47 - Three Types of People**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt continues our series, “The Glory of Salvation,” by unpacking the often-misunderstood doctrine of sanctification. Many Christians see “saints” as a special class of elite believers, but Scripture teaches that every follower of Jesus is set apart as holy.In this message, Pastor Seth explains the difference between being positionally sanctified (what God declares us to be in Christ) and progressively sanctified (learning to live more and more like who we already are).  Using clear biblical teaching and everyday illustrations, he shows how the Holy Spirit leads us to grow in holiness, not through self-righteous effort, but by living out our true identity as God's treasured people—a kingdom of priests and saints.00:00 - Introduction03:12 - Big Idea13:56 - Sanctification is both positional and progressive22:21 - Progressive Sanctification28:57 - Four ways to grow with the Spirit of holiness**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons unpacks why our physical lives and practices matter so much for our spiritual formation. In this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation," he explains how baptism and the Lord's Supper serve as God-given, physical pictures of the invisible realities of salvation.  Luke contrasts ancient Greek ideas about the body and soul with the Bible's vision of whole-person redemption, then walks through what Scripture teaches about baptism and communion. He also answers common pastoral questions:  - What is baptism, and what does it actually signify?  - What is the Lord's Supper, and how is it different from baptism?  - Does baptism save you?  - Are you baptized into a local church or into Christ?  - Why does our church encourage kids to wait to be baptized?  - How should parents think about kids and communion?  - Should you get baptized again if you were baptized as a child?  - Why do we take the Lord's Supper every week?  Whether you're new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon will help you better understand and appreciate these two key practices and how they point you to Christ's finished work.00:00 - Introduction09:42 - What is Baptism?15:09 - What is the Lord's Supper?**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt teaches on the doctrine of adoption from Romans 8:12–17 in this message from our series, “The Glory of Salvation.” Many Christians think of salvation mainly as a pardon from punishment, but Scripture shows that God does far more: He brings us into His family as loved sons and daughters with full inheritance rights.  In this sermon, Pastor Seth explains what it means to receive “the Spirit of adoption,” why not everyone is automatically a child of God, and how adoption gives believers a new relationship, a new identity, and a new security with God as our Father. He also explores how this truth shapes our battle with sin, our prayers, and our daily confidence before God.00:00 - Introduction13:17 - New Relationship17:45 - New Status28:22 - New Confidence**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Luke Simmons continues our series, “The Glory of Salvation,” by unpacking the doctrine of justification—what he calls being “righteous-ified.” In this message, Luke explains what justification is, how it happens, and what it gives to everyone who has put their faith in Jesus.  Looking at key passages in Romans and Galatians, we see that we are not made right with God by inherent goodness or by righteousness slowly infused through our efforts. Instead, God counts us righteous—fully accepted and at peace with Him—through faith in Christ alone.  If you've ever wondered how God can declare sinners “not guilty” and fully righteous, or if you wrestle with guilt, shame, or feeling like you never measure up spiritually, this sermon will help you see the freeing truth of justification by faith.00:00 - Introduction05:28 - What Justification Is10:33 - How Justification Happens29:39 - What Justification Gives**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

How to Increase Land Value Through Habitat Management | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 461 In Part Two of our special Cultivating Value series, powered by Buck Land Funding, we move from the financial side of land ownership to the "boots on the ground" work that actually creates equity. Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with farm managers Wade Robinson and Forrest Bonin to discuss how strategic habitat improvements like prescribed burns and Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) can transform a standard property into a high-value hunting destination. The crew breaks down the "60/40 Rule" for safe fire management, the importance of timing burns to favor warm-season grasses over cool-season chokers, and how to use fire to eliminate invasive species like Ironwood and Cedar. The conversation then dives deep into the world of TSI, debating the merits of hinge cutting versus girdling or hack-and-squirt methods.

Several players have posted a list of everything that they made in 2025. We have some really prolific players in the group! The best thing about the conversation is that no one is competitive about it. Just lots of celebrations!  I find it kind of inspiring to see what others have accomplished. For example, hikesandbikes finished 54 knitted knockers! What a great cause! It inspires me to try knitting some this year.  Come on over and join the chat if you want to get inspired too!  A few players have decided that they want to make sweaters in 2026.

Sadly, she sprained her wrist. The group came through with lots of ideas for what to do when you can't knit and crochet, including needle felting, doing puzzles, watercolors, playing with art supplies, journaling and as MrsQuilt put it, "whining, reading, and actually paying attention to what is on the TV" I am wishing you all health, happiness, and strong crafting mojo in the new year!

I stayed with him from December 5-21. Dad and I had a lovely visit from our friend Merry who came with an unexpected gift- a bracelet with beads made from my mom's funeral flowers in red (ruby slipper), yellow (yellow brick road) and white for home. Dan and I had a lovely double date night at the Irish pub with friends. I was able to see my 7 year old niece Hattie as Gretl in Sound of Music (twice!!!) Making Aunt Milly's cookies with Riley and Millie (and having a sleepover with them). Christmas Eve & Christmas Day were both lovely. Definitely different without my Mom and grandmother there but it was still a joy to be together. Our friend Gail joined us as she usually does and brought all sorts of fun games for us to play. The Sunday after Christmas, I was able to spend all afternoon with my grandmother, some of that alone. My friend Megg came over because she wanted to visit and say goodbye. We had dinner together after. My friend Laura came in for NYE. Small get together with friends at my Dad's turned into a real party, though most didn't stay until midnight. Megg wanted it to be a sparkly kind of night so Laura and I got outfits for the three of us at the consignment shop on the way over! Very silly fun. My cousin Mike and his husband Kyle came up from Florida. My grandmother's services were beautiful with contributions from lots of family members. While it was more stressful than mom's, and it was the worst form of deja vu having the same schedule for that exact same Thur/Fri two years in a row- my grandmother would be happy with how it all turned out.  Skiing on Saturday after the funeral. 7 of us, impromptu trip, icy conditions but we still had a blast.   Quote of the Week "Amidst the normal hard stuff is the abnormal hard stuff. You may be doing great, but no one great always had it great. At the end of each day, as you prepare for the next, I hope you take an inventory of your life, your thoughts and where you're headed. The wind can take you some cool places, but so can your paddle."   ― Richie Norton   ------   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

A mushroom on a tree isn't a verdict — but in arboriculture, it's often treated like one.In this episode, Nadina Galle talks with Kyle McLoughlin, a Board Certified Master Arborist and founder of Ironwood Arboricultural, from his two-acre, tree-filled property in St. George, Ontario. Together, they unpack why fungi should be foundational knowledge for anyone caring for trees — and why “there's a mushroom, cut it down” is more often fear than good practice.They explore Armillaria and other misunderstood fungi, how decay actually affects tree risk and failure probability, and why arborists should think more like physicians: diagnosing before treating. The conversation also examines how many urban fungal problems are created not by nature, but by how we design, dig, drain, and pave our cities.Nadina and Kyle discuss the tools that could help shift tree care from reactive removals to proactive preservation — including pneumatic excavation, sonic tomography, and ground-penetrating radar — while returning to a core insight: better growing conditions matter more than any technology.This episode will resonate with arborists, urban foresters, city managers, and anyone involved in tree risk, urban tree preservation, or the future of urban nature. By the end, you'll never look at a mushroom on a tree the same way again.Find Kyle and Ironwood Arboricultural at ironwoodarboricultural.ca and @ironwoodarboricultural on Instagram.

Luke and Seth explore the difference between mission and missions (with an "s") and share about how missions plays out at Ironwood.

Pastor Luke Simmons dives into the parable found in Luke 18, exploring the challenging yet essential role of persistent prayer in the life of a believer.In this sermon, part of the "Jesus Stories" series focusing on parables from the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Luke discusses the misconception that faith should be formulaic and predictable, contrasting it with Jesus's call to constant prayer and trust in God's timing and justice. Through reflections on helplessness, the fight of faith, and the assurance of God's deep concern for us, Pastor Luke encourages believers to embrace prayer as a vital connection to God's kingdom and presence.Join us as we learn how to always pray, strengthening our faith as we wait for His return.**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Pastor Seth Troutt kicks off the new sermon series, "Jesus Stories," with an insightful exploration of the parables from the Gospel of Luke.In this first installment, Pastor Seth shares his personal story of experiencing unexpected generosity, drawing parallels with the parable of the great banquet, where Jesus illustrates the kingdom of God as a feast open to all.Through this message, viewers are invited to reflect on the profound generosity of God and our role in extending hospitality to others.Join us as we delve into the transformative stories Jesus told and discover how they invite us to live out radical generosity and grace in our daily lives.00:00 - Introduction05:00 - Big Idea: Jesus wants his house full of all kinds of people.10:50 - Hospitality doesn't expect short-term returns.15:54 - Humans are “good excuse”  factories.22:16 - Jesus doesn't ask us to do what he hasn't already done himself.27:34 - You must say “Yes” to the invitation to taste the feast.32:18 - Christmas at Ironwood**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

So cute and easy!   Knitting in Passing A cute preteen girl came over when I was crocheting on the train to ask what kind of hook I was using and then asked if I was making a stocking for Christmas. I asked if she crocheted. She said yes but didn't offer more. When she went back to the grown up she was with, they gave her a big high five. So cute. Then the gentleman across from me who saw me counting rows then asked what happened if I lose count. Told him I could read the stitches. He congratulated me onto who new addition to our family.   In My Travels I shared highlights from a recent trip to New York City. I spent a wonderful morning at the MET Aida Silvestri- artist from Eritrea who had a triptych of pieces on display. Her work is motivated by social concern, but it also explores the camera's ability to connect people to a place. In these portraits of immigrant women, the artist strategically blurs her subjects' faces. This gesture, born of a need for protective anonymity, seems to evoke a greater enigma of the self. Mapping the course of migration to London are lines of thread stitched into the surfaces of the print- permanent, identity-altering interventions. Silvestri regards her series as a documentary project dedicated to those travelers who never reached their destination. Two embroidery samplers from Bostonian women from the late 1700s that were just beautiful. We visited the Chelsea Flea- I got a cool pair of earrings We got cookies from Levain Bakery We made a quick trip to Knitty City and Laura picked out yarn for a hat Musical- Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York We also saw Blue Moon at the movies. Tells the story of Lorenz Hart's struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of "Oklahoma!".   KAL News   Pigskin Party '25 Event Dates: KAL Dates- Thursday September 4, 2025- Monday February 9, 2026 Find everything you need in the Start Here Thread in the Ravelry Group Official Rules Registration Form  (you must be Registered to be eligible for prizes) Enter your projects using the Point Tally Form Find the full list of Sponsors in this Google Doc.

Hats! Many of our early Q2 finishers completed hats.  Neferetri, Hollyelyse and Janknitdun completed beautiful cabled hats...I bet the row counter came in handy for those projects! Kimbuktu7 completed a lovely colorwork hat Adrie9 completed a lovely two colored musselburgh hat  Neckwear is also a popular choice among our early Q2 finishers Mikkaelab completed a lovely crocheted cowl and a knit bandana! Sandyrlevin also completed a cowl in steelers colors (note--she used a pattern by PSP Knitty Natty too)--Way to rack up those points! There's still plenty of time for you to get your projects in for Q2. These finishers have definitely demonstrated that there are plenty of patterns with at least 60 rows that work up in a flash!   PepperRN added in Pigskin Party Tips Thread on Ravelry If you are budgeting but still want to support sponsors buy something re usable. Stitch markers can be used in 1 project and then when finished in the next. I like knitting hats for charity so I bought a hat pattern from a sponsor. I put that pattern with a sponsor bag and sponsor stitch markers and can knit it over and over during the PSP.   On a Happy Note New York City! I took the train this time which was a great option. Laura and I had dinner with two of her pilates clients. We all enjoyed Gabriella and Zachary's first sleepover. We watched the KPOP Demon Hunters movie and after going to bed early and reading the Hot Air Balloon book, wehad fun hunting for the orange eyed monster! Dan made the kids pancakes and we'll put their photos on the collage wall in the guest room. Gabriella asked for a unicorn and a ghost Spiderman. Zach wanted Spiderman. I received a really nice message from my cousin Gayle who was visiting her friend in NH and let me know that Mom's shawl that she chose was keeping her warm. Love you Gayle! My childhood friend Maribeth has shared a few photos of things her family has found when cleaning out her parents' attic- costumes and things my mom made. It was sweet of her to send me those photos so we could reminisce. I finally got to join Beth's Karaoke Night Zoom (part of the Love in Stitches Membership). Dad is recovering from a back injury but doing better. We successfully moved my grandmother into the Memory Care side of the independent living home she's lived at for 5 years. Hope this will be a good fit for her. I got a massage this week!   Quote of the Week   "In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.
