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

Confirmation Sunday 2019

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.

He's Back!

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!

In the Pit Again - Lift Me Up!

March 31, 2019 • Peter Mueller

Even as God begins to heal and restore us, it is rare (yet beautiful) that He heals us in a moment. In the process, we inevitably encounter bumps in the road along the way, some of which land us in the pit of despair and discouragement again. From the bottom of that pit, we can join David in crying out to God to lift us up to see the light of day again, to put a new song in our heart, to even be so audacious as to request that God not delay that work.
