Come alive: Learning to tell time.
Given the current cultural moment, it would be wise for disciples of Jesus not to sleep their life away and, instead, to wake up to the realities surrounding them. We are not the first to be charged with that task!
Paul’s challenge to the church comes with specific advice on how to partner with the Holy Spirit in not only learning to tell time, but to redeem it!

A Fresh Word: God is big enough.
As worship expands our understanding of God, we will discover God is “big enough” for all that happens in our lives – and for us. In fact, worship – having put God in God’s rightful place – puts us in our place, as well – where we discover forgiveness enabling repentance. That leads us to an intimacy with God, enabling us to hear the invitation to mission – and to respond.

Moses: Knowing when to be still and when to act.
We were delighted to welcome guest speaker Bill Dogetrom to speak and continue our series on Moses and the marks of a great leader. Bill brings all his years of experience to help unpack the famous episode of God delivering the Israelites across the Red Sea. Moses learns there are times when we need to be still in prayer, and others when when we need to move forward prayerfully. When we are grounded in God through prayer we can be a non-anxious presence when all around is chaos. And we’ll know when it’s time to stay still, and when it’s time to go.
