Aikamme on eksynyt kauas mailman luomisesta ja Jeesuksen tekemistä ihmeteoista. Uskomme kohdet tulee olla Jeesus ja Hänen tekemänsä sovitustyö meidän elämässä. Emme voi nojata meidän subjektiivisiin kokemuksiin jotka elää omaa elämäänsä ja kokemuksemme meidän uskontilasta voi olla todella värittynyttä…

Lower Than the Elohim Last week we ended with a life-changing thought: we are the children of God, destined to displace the defeated, disloyal sons of God who now rule the nations. Believing followers of Jesus Christ are the fulfillment of God’s plan to have humanity join the divine family-council and…

Who in here wants a full, meaningful life? How does that happen? What does a human look like when they are fully alive, fully formed? Spoiler alert, we’re going to say it’s Jesus. But along the way, our psalm will teach us two practices that will give you an abundant life and form you into the complete…

Announcements Does anyone have any announcements? Saturday, April 16 at 9am Mike Swenson and crew will be grinding the stumps on the side of the church so we can beautify that area.

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and…

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. What if God didn’t speak? A few weeks ago my father in law was visiting us and…

Let us pray…God, may the words of my mouth, the meditations of all of our hearts, and the willingness of our spirits be pleasing unto you this day.
