Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of his glory!
Jesus said that when he was lifted up, he would draw all people to himself. He is a magnetic force in the world. The Gospel draws the human heart back to the God who made us and loves us. The Triune God of Grace is extending the length of his train (Isaiah 6: 1). His glorious robe moment by moment adds the golden stitches of hearts released to him. For, his bride, the church are his glory and his prize. He clothes us with the shimmering garment of his own righteousness.

When Jesus Doesn't Want You
February 7, 2021 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson
We are a collection of liars, adulterers, cheats, fakers, gossips, drunks, idolaters, doubters--sinners every one of us. But we gather in the hope that we can, as a result of Jesus’ call, get off the highway and turn around. Jesus comes to us even when we are years down the wrong road. Jesus finds and warms the long-buried heart, even when we thought it was lost and turned to stone.
Pick Up Your Mat
January 31, 2021 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson
How does forgiveness free paralysis in life and mission? How does Jesus connecting to us at the point of our deepest need loosen up our whole lives to be lived more fully for Christ? How does faith--robust, risky, sold out faith--get us connected to the One who alone forgives and brings to life?
I Am Willing
January 24, 2021 • Rev. Dr. Gerrit Dawson
The question of the willingness of Jesus is urgent for all of us. Especially at the point of our greatest shame and deepest need. We might imagine that Jesus is willing to be with us when we are being good. When we are doing our Bible study or serving in a mission. When we are writing a check or being nice to someone. Sure, I imagine Jesus is willing to bless me when I am on the road of serving him. But is he willing to be with me in those back streets of the soul? YES!
