Jesus is the exact representation of the Father. Healing is an expression of God's heart towards us. John 9:1-11 1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While...

We go through certain seasons that seem insignificant and wonder where God is. God will still use those insignificant seasons to honor His children in His own time. This allows us to hope and dream again of what God can do in our lives. Genesis 29:31-35 31 When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,[ a ] for she said, “It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely ...

Our God has compassion on those who reject God but also on those who try to earn their own way home. Luke 15: 11-32 11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. 13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in ...

Our God loves those who are suffering but He does not enjoy our suffering. When we get closer to God's heart, we get to see how much God cares for those who are hurt and desires to heal us.

Our God is a God who seeks after the lost. When we get closer to His heart, we get to see who He is after. Luke 15:1-10 1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he find...

Ordination Sunday This message is a "charge" to the leaders who are getting ordained and also the congregation about what it means to be the body of Christ and how that is so important to the purpose and mission of not only the individual but the entire church community. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by[ a ] one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, sl...

As we close out the book of Jonah, we'll see that not only has Jonah not changed, but God hasn't either. The mission of God hasn't changed or stopped because the heart of God has been on a mission to restore. The question for us, as was for Jonah, is whether we will join in on God's mission as we know his heart. Bible Verse : Jonah 4 4 But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, and he became angry. 2 He prayed to the Lord, “Isn’t this what I said, Lord, when I was still at home? That is what I tried t...

God's heart is compassionate and missional. But sometimes, we choose to run away from God, because we are afraid of what it truly means to be compassionate and missional. Even then, God runs to us and receives us with grace. VERSE : Jonah 2 1 [ a ]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

As we journey through the book of Jonah, we'll see what the heart of God is all about. In this first sermon, we'll see that our lives are similar to Jonah's life. And how God is calling us to be on mission with Him to join in on the heart of God. VERSE : Jonah 1 1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish.

We need to see the world from God's perspective, which will give us clarity in our lives.
