Running While You're Crawling

Give

Thankfully, even in the midst of deep and awful suffering, God will sometimes give us the gift of a positive moment of joy. These moments can be rare, but when they come they are a sweet and soothing balm to the soul. These moments can also become a taste of the healing that is coming - preferably in this life, but if not then for sure in the next. These are the moments that can renew and sustain our hope that one day, we’re going to run again!

Life with the Loving Father, the Good King, and the Wild Goose

April 14, 2019 • Peter Mueller

Have you ever seen and loved a good parade? This Sunday we reflect on two parades - that of Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as coming king, and that of our 2019 Hope Confirmands publicly affirming their faith as their own as they grow towards adulthood. As Jesus was received as a king, so the life of the Christian is about receiving Jesus as king into the deepest parts of hearts, minds and lives and welcoming Him to work in and through us.

Jesus: Even When the Sky is Dark

April 7, 2019 • Peter Mueller

Thankfully, God does come and rescue us in one way or another when we’re suffering. Sometimes it’s through total relief and healing, other times of mix of partial healing and an unmistakable confidence in His presence with using the midst of it. The love and presence of Jesus rises in our lives and our suffering like the morning sun even when skies are still dark. This is a great gift of Jesus, the one who is our strength even and especially when we’re weak, the one who fills our heart even when we’re falling all apart. There is hope in Jesus!
