Jesus' Ministry Begins

The Story

September 20, 2020 • Peter Mueller

Who you are determines what you do. As Jesus began his ministry, the Father articulated Jesus’ identity at his baptism as “my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”. Then Jesus set out on a mission to proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God, and that he had come for the sick, not the healthy, for the sinners, not the righteous. As the Father loves Jesus, so Jesus loves you - and that is good news that can both warm out hearts and shape our actions and every aspect of our lives!

A New Beginning

Sometimes it feels like evil has taken over the world and that evil is winning. Many of the first followers of Jesus also felt that way in the face of persecution from the Roman Empire. In the midst of this context, John receives a beautiful vision or revelation full of figurative imagery that reveals God’s plan for evil to be destroyed, for creation to be renewed, and God to live with His people forever. This last book of the Bible gives us great hope for a bright future!

Paul's Final Days

November 8, 2020 • Peter Mueller

Saul who became Paul had and still has a massive influence on the people of the world as he boldly proclaimed that Jesus of Nazareth was both the Messiah Savior and Lord and King of all that is. Paul vigorously contended that the benefits of Christ’s work on the cross and in His resurrection were available by God’s grace through faith, and that God fills those who believe with His Spirit to empower them to join Jesus in the work of making the world new. Living as we do in an imperfect world with imperfect leaders, Paul invites us to follow the crucified and risen one!

Paul's Mission

November 1, 2020 • Peter Mueller

Can God really change the worst parts of you into the best parts of you? 2000 years ago, Saul found out that the answer is a resounding YES! After God changed Saul from a killer assassin into a gutsy evangelist and changed his name to Paul, he spent his life preaching the good news of Jesus crucified and risen for the freedom of all who believe in Him. Today, Jesus calls you to trust Jesus and join in that same mission wherever God leads you!
