Part 2: Seen by Jesus

January 21, 2024 • Taylor Schwab • Luke 19:1–10

Pastor Taylor continues our series looking at Faces of Loneliness in the Bible and how Jesus met them with true Biblical community. He takes us to the story of Zacchaeus and how he and Jesus went deep and shared transparency leading to Zacchaeus' inclusion in the community of Jesus' followers. But what does that look like for us today as we learn to have community with God and each other, and then minister to the lonely out in our surrounding communities?

Part 3: Known by Jesus

January 28, 2024 • Cami Wittwer • John 4:7–42

The Woman at the Well, as she's come to be referenced, was completely outside of community. She was lonely. About as lonely as can be. She had been rejected to the point of coming to her well alone at mid day in unbearable heat. But in the midst of such loneliness and rejection, Jesus saw her, dug past the dirt and met her with a living, life-giving sense of embrace that called her beyond her current station and upward to a life of holiness that led others to know that Jesus was the Messiah. Pastor Cami finishes our series on the Faces of Loneliness with a look at this famous story and how Jesus entered it with true Biblical Community.

Part 1: Close to Jesus

January 14, 2024 • Cami Wittwer, Taylor Schwab • John 21:1–15

In our Discernment season this past Autumn, we collectively came to the issue of loneliness as the thing the Lord was calling us to minister to. Faces of Loneliness seeks to understand the issue of loneliness and how we can be the hands and feet of Jesus as we minister true Biblical community to our city and region. Pastors Cami & Taylor look at the issue of loneliness along with its implications, how Jesus lived out community, and what the Lord is inviting us into in this next season.
