Weekly Update: January 15, 2025
Word from the Pastor:
I pray this weekly Newsletter finds you doing well, and much warmer than I am. When I left the brewery this afternoon we had reached our high temperature of 16 degrees. Let's just say, I'll be ready to be back.
I want to invite you to prepare your heart as we begin this series about Jesus. Here’s the key: the church’s purpose is to point people toward following Jesus. A church doesn’t need a building or the usual trappings to be a church—it just needs to invite people into the life of Jesus. But if an organization has all the outward signs of a church but isn’t discipling people to follow Jesus, it’s missing the mark. Every song, sermon, method, and gathering should do two things: help us, as the Body of Christ, live like the resurrected Jesus in our daily lives, and be a visible reflection of Christ to the world.
We'll see you Sunday!
