The next missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to serve them. To serve another person is to put their needs ahead of our own. We see Jesus engage man with leprosy by giving him a double blessing. First he reached out touched him and then healed him. This requires a mindset that prioritizes others and makes a choice to help other with compassion and generosity. It requires us to look beyond just our own needs and cares and to be of tangible BLESSING in the life of another just as the S...

The next missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to make time and space to eat together. Throughout the ministry of Jesus food played a large role in how He would spend time with others. In our culture the heart of hospitality is one that as lessened in its priority but offers a great reward for those who engage it. Very few things communicate a heart that is open like a shared meal around a table, a backyard cookout and the simple, yet profound, gesture of a hand, heart and home open t...

The next missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, happens as we listen and engage others. You have heard the old saying that God has given us two ears and one mouth so we should use them proportionately. In order to BLESS others, we need to listen to understand what the needs, cares and concerns are of this person and engage what they say with compassion, thoughtfulness, and wisdom. The deepest desire of any person is to be understood by another and this week we look at the reality that one...

The first missional rhythm, as we seek to BLESS others, is to begin in prayer. It begins in prayer because this is the mission of God and so we need His guidance, His wisdom and His power to accomplish what He is calling us to do. We see this in the life of Jesus, and the disciples, as they devoted themselves to prayer and seeking God’s will together. We pray that God would open doors, open hearts, open opportunities and align our desires with His through prayer.

Thankfully, at some point, Jesus will return for us! When Jesus returns, the Bible is clear, He will make us new for eternity! We know we are a new creation in and through Him right now, but we also struggle with the effects of this broken world and look forward to that Day when He returns and makes us new forever! Today we remember from God’s Word that we’ve been given “The New Future You” in and through our faith in Jesus!

One of the current hallmarks of our society is centered in answering the question “What’s your passion?” In other words, displaying and living what you are passionate about. What drives you and moves you in this world? While Christians might answer those questions in a variety of ways, there is one central “passion” that every Christian has and will talk about, and that’s bringing Jesus to people and people to Jesus! Today we remember from God’s Word that we’ve been given “The New Passion” in an...

Being a “new creation” in Christ means being different from the rest of the world that does not know Him as their Savior…and…Lord. For us who have been made new in Him and through Him know that we are de facto different, but what that means then, is that we also act differently in this world. Our inward “newness” brings an outward expression of that “newness” to those around us. Today we remember from God’s Word that we have been given in and through Jesus “The New Attitude”!

One of the dearest and clearest marks of our Christian faith is having peace in and through Jesus, even in a broken, frustrating and fear-filled world! Jesus has put us at peace with God! The Bible is clear…broken and busted sinners are at peace with the Holy, Righteous, Pure and Perfect God through Jesus! But once given that peace with God, we are then people of peace, living peacefully ourselves and giving that peace to others as well! Today we remember from God’s Word “The New Peace” that Jes...

This first week we’ll explore the foundation of “newness in Christ” and what it means for us who are hamstrung by the “old Adam” within us. What does it mean that we’re “born again” or “a new creation” in and through Christ? What does it mean for our now…and what does it mean for our future? Today we remember from God’s Word “The New You” given in and through your baptism into Christ!

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia. These words make all the difference in our lives because the Heart of our God is a Heart full of life. The religious leaders thought they had done away with Him, Satan thought he had won, the disciples thought all hope was lost, Jesus’ friends and family are in despair until all of them are shocked, surprised, bewildered to see that the tomb could not keep down the Heart of Life. On this day we gather and celebrate that because Jesus rose from the dead ...

The Heart of God is one that bleeds with forgiveness for His people. A New Covenant had been prophesied in Jeremiah that God would fully forgive the sins of His people and establish a new way of being in relationship with them. This night we set aside to celebrate the gift of the Lord’s Supper that Jesus gave to us. This holy meal is a celebration of the Heart of our God…a Heart of Forgiveness.
