God used an outsider to deliver the promised land! As we continue our series, looking at the five women in Matthew's geneology of Jesus, we come to Joshua 2. Rahab the prostitute is held up in the Old Testament, Gospel, and New Testament as an example of faith, lived out in works. The outsider is used to deliver God's promise, and to teach us about what faith really looks like!
We're so glad you're worshiping with us today!
Matthew's gospel begins with e geneology of Jesus, which includes five women. Their stories are full of drama, power, intrugue, greed, and family. This Advent, we are learning about them, and how they prefigure the salvation brought about in Jesus.
The first woman is Tamar, whose story is in Genesis 38. It's a mess. The family is a mess. Everyone's choices are a mess. Yet, God uses her to save the family that will be the tribe that rules Israel.
Christ is King! As we close out the church year, Fr. Micah shares a tool for discernment. How do we know what the Lord is saying? In what direction should we grow? Jeremiah the prophet promises that in God's Kingdom, we are fruitful and multiply - and what does that have to do with making decisions?
We're so glad you've joined us today!
What will the resurrection be like? Is there more than this life? The religious leaders of Jesus' day sought to embarrass Him by pressing Him on these questions. We're still asking the same thing today. Jesus' answer helps direct us to netter unerstanding and better living.
You don't have to be short to be small. When Zaccheus went to find out who Jesus was, he found a lot more than a good view from a tree. It turns out that Jesus had been looking for him the whole time.

When Paul was in trouble, what happened to his support system? How did his friends respond? We'll look today at the end of 2 Timothy to find his perspective, and how it can change ours.
We're so glad you are with us today!
Can you win when you wrestle with God? After all of our efforts and intrigues, we come face to face with our own sin. Jacob in Genesis wrestled with God. Paul encouraged Timothy to trust the scriptures. When we wrestle God, we always lose - and are the better for it.
Today, we're finishing up our series on prayer, and thinking about prophetic prayer. All of us can live prophetically, if we live according to the truth of God's word and the reality behind the visible. We'll look at the prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament and Timothy in the New Testament to see how people of faith can respond to a broken world and frustrating circumstances.
We're so glad you're worshiping with us today, as we continue our conversation about prayer in the life of the Christian.
How do you hear from God? Do you hear His voice? Contemplative prayer is intended to help us hear from God. It's incredible, because our relational Creator wants to speak to us. Through the Holy Spirit, He does. We can learn to develop our spiritual ears to hear his voice!
