Lets Stay Together

In the light of dark times Jesus modeled what we should all do before a storm. He prayed. Jesus prayer for unity in the church is ultimately the main desire of our hearts and is a guide as we do life together in His name.

In summary, John 15:1-17 invites believers to cultivate a deep, abiding relationship with Jesus, highlighting the necessity of remaining connected to Him for spiritual vitality. It also emphasizes the call to love one another genuinely, demonstrating that true discipleship involves both intimacy with Christ and active engagement in loving relationships within the community. If you only heard that Jesus is all you need, and you don’t need friends, you have gotten only half go the message… I am sorry! Jesus models for us how to be friends. It involved honesty, love and forgiveness.

Faith and Disappointment

October 20, 2024 • Erin Wood • John 11:1–44

In life we face losses, disappointments, and grief. How do we have faith when God doesn’t answer our prayers how we had hoped? What does it look like to trust God in the midst of disappointment? In John chapter 11, Jesus receives word that his friend Lazarus is very sick. When he arrives, he finds that Lazarus has already died. The story ends with one of Jesus’ most incredible miracles recorded in Scripture. But before the dramatic conclusion, this story has much to teach us about faith in God in the midst of disappointment by naming our disappointments, practicing lament, understanding Jesus’ empathy, and clinging to God’s truth.
