Full Text of ReadingsThe Baptism of the Lord Lectionary: 21The Saint of the day is Saint Marguerite BourgeoysSaint Marguerite Bourgeoys' Story “God closes a door and then opens a window,” people sometimes say when dealing with their own disappointment or someone else's. That was certainly true in Marguerite's case. Children from European as well as Native American backgrounds in 17th-century Canada benefited from her great zeal and unshakable trust in God's providence. Born the sixth of 12 children in Troyes, France, Marguerite at the age of 20 believed that she was called to religious life. Her applications to the Carmelites and Poor Clares were unsuccessful. A priest friend suggested that perhaps God had other plans for her. In 1654, the governor of the French settlement in Canada visited his sister, an Augustinian canoness in Troyes. Marguerite belonged to a sodality connected to that convent. The governor invited her to come to Canada and start a school in Ville-Marie (eventually the city of Montreal). When she arrived, the colony numbered 200 people with a hospital and a Jesuit mission chapel. Soon after starting a school, she realized her need for coworkers. Returning to Troyes, she recruited a friend, Catherine Crolo, and two other young women. In 1667, they added classes at their school for Indian children. A second trip to France three years later resulted in six more young women and a letter from King Louis XIV, authorizing the school. The Congregation of Notre Dame was established in 1676 but its members did not make formal religious profession until 1698 when their Rule and constitutions were approved. Marguerite established a school for Indian girls in Montreal. At the age of 69, she walked from Montreal to Quebec in response to the bishop's request to establish a community of her sisters in that city. By the time she died, she was referred to as the “Mother of the Colony.” Marguerite was canonized in 1982. Reflection It's easy to become discouraged when plans that we think that God must endorse are frustrated. Marguerite was called not to be a cloistered nun but to be a foundress and an educator. God had not ignored her after all. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In today's Restore7 TV highlight, we are so excited to bring you The Israel Story: The Israel Story tells God's story of hope and redemption for all mankind (the gospel) and the role that the Jewish people and the nation of Israel play in it. God is a communicator, and the Israel Story is the story that He is telling. Many people throughout history, who were able to experience and hear God's story, told it and wrote it down. Others guarded over it, literally letter by letter so that it could be preserved for generations to come, for you and me. This story is found in the Bible. Central characters in the Bible story are the nation of Israel and the Jewish people, not just in the Old Testament, but in the New Testament too, not just in the past, but in the present and the future, as well. To understand The Story — God's story as well as our story — we must understand the Israel story. That's the objective. That's what this study, our journey together, is all about.

In this special Christmas episode, Pastor Derek takes us through the familiar yet profound story of Jesus' birth in Luke 2:1-20, exploring how God’s arrival on earth defied expectations in every way. From the timing—during a chaotic Roman census—to the humble birth in a Bethlehem stable, Pastor Derek highlights the unexpected circumstances, characters, and settings that point to God's surprising plan for salvation. Through the lens of lowly shepherds, an underserved humanity, and a simple, powerful message, we see how God chose the most unlikely places to bring about the most incredible gift the world has ever known. This sermon challenges us to reflect on how God continues to show up in unexpected ways in our own lives, offering grace and salvation where we least expect it. Tune in to hear how the Christmas story is all about a gift sent from God in the form of a baby, but also a radical, all-encompassing love that reaches us in our messiest moments. Don't miss this encouraging and thought-provoking message of hope this Christmas season!

SCRIPTURE: John 9-12 THE MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS WEEK'S SERMON CAN ALSO BE FOUND HERE!REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:What have you been learning in this series on John's gospel? Have you felt challenged by anything in particular?Do you feel afraid? What are your specific fears today? It is okay to acknowledge them… and to share them with God.In what ways do you think our fears about life, like fear of not having enough or fear of death, can limit our ability to experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit?In this section of John's gospel, Jesus is the “Sign”... but how would you describe who or what Jesus is pointing towards?How does the story of “the man who was born blind” in John 9 reveal the limits we put on the Story God might be telling? What do you see in the disbelief of the Pharisees in this story? In the man's faith (v. 35-41)?How do Martha's words to Jesus about her brother Lazarus show both anger and hope? What does this teach us about processing our emotions?What do you think this means: “Sin and Death might bind you, but they cannot keep you”? How does this idea shape your understanding of freedom in faith?Why do you think it's important to be open to seeing the world through a larger story? How can this perspective affect your daily choices?

This message encourages us to share our story of faith, showing how God's grace has changed us. We may have different backgrounds, but each story shows God's love.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 477The Saint of the day is Saint Antnio de SantAnna GalvoSaint Antônio de Sant'Anna Galvão's Story God's plan in a person's life often takes unexpected turns which become life-giving through cooperation with God's grace. Born in Guarantingueta near São Paulo, Antônio attended the Jesuit seminary in Belem, but later decided to become a Franciscan friar. Invested in 1760, he made final profession the following year and was ordained in 1762. In São Paulo, he served as preacher, confessor, and porter. Within a few years, Antônio was appointed confessor to the Recollects of Saint Teresa, a group of nuns in that city. He and Sister Helena Maria of the Holy Spirit founded a new community of sisters under the patronage of Our Lady of the Conception of Divine Providence. Sister Helena Maria's premature death the next year left Father Antônio responsible for the new congregation, especially for building a convent and church adequate for their growing numbers. He served as novice master for the friars in Macacu and as guardian of St. Francis Friary in São Paulo. He founded St. Clare Friary in Sorocaba. With the permission of his provincial and the bishop, Antônio spent his last days at the Recolhimento de Nossa Senhora da Luz, the convent of the sisters' congregation he had helped establish. Antônio de Sant'Anna Galvão was beatified in Rome on October 25, 1998, and canonized in 2007. Reflection Holy women and men cannot help calling our attention to God, to God's creation, and to all the people whom God loves. The lives of holy people are so oriented toward God that this has become their definition of “normal.” Do people see my life or yours as a living sign of God's steadfast love? What might have to change for that to happen? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

When Diana Phelps and Debbie Mais sent their sons to war, they were proud of them. They were also nervous for their boys. Aaron and Doc both came home alive, but not without injuries. Aaron was blown up in an IED attack while Doc suffered TBIs. Both also returned with the mental load that goes with serving our country. Listen to these two moms discuss what it's like to send a son to war and the challenges to remaining "mom" to the men who returned. 

God always keeps his promises, He knows our needs before we even ask, and He is determined to save sinners.

Though our own stories are deeply important to God, we must also walk in the Kingdom calling given to us to see the metanarrative—or greater story—of which we are apart.

April 21, 2024 - Eric Barton - Acts 3:11-26 “Your Story, God's Glory” by Bethel Downtown

During this message, we looked at the story of Samuel anointing David to be the next king. God chose David because of his heart, not his outward appearance. Getting below the surface takes... enduring some rejection and having patience. This weekend Pastor Mark Pope guided us through these two points as we began our new series. This week be challenged to to slow down enough to go deep with God.
