Pastor Tim's Blog

connecting leadership, community, wellness, and faith
​

conectando el liderazgo, la comunidad, el bienestar y la fe​

May 17th, 2023

This summer, we will listen to and follow Jesus through the Gospel of Matthew.

Here’s a sneak peek at our three upcoming message series.

We kick off our summer in June with Jesus teaching us His way of authority, mercy, and compassion we find in Matthew 9 and 10. Make plans to be sent to live The Forgotten Ways of Jesus on June 25.

We will then move into July with some Story Time with Jesus. Each week, we will discover real-life principles from the stories Matthew records Jesus telling about seeds, weeds, and hidden treasures in Matthew 13.

We will wrap up summer by spending time with Jesus as he feeds people, walks on water, heals a woman, and directly asks us, “Who do you say I am.” I pray we are moved to respond, “This is Jesus.”

Alright - time to pull the curtain back on the fall a little bit…

In January 2023, 22 people spent 10 weeks connecting with God, the church, and their purpose. For those who were exploring faith, their experience revealed who God is and how to live more like Jesus. For believers, it refocused their relationship with God and ignited a new passion to connect and serve.

As a result, today, 15 out of 22 are in a Life Group (9 of them for the first time!). That’s pretty impressive.
But don’t take my word for it… one person shared: “I loved the class and learning everyone’s story. It taught me to listen more, speak less, ask questions, and think about what Jesus is doing in each person’s life”.
True spiritual growth. Real discipleship.

That’s why I want each of us to get Rooted this fall.

Why? Because loving God, loving people, and living like Jesus is about being Rooted in Jesus.

So, kids, youth, and adults… get ready. It will be an inclusive experience for anybody and everybody.

I can’t wait to share more in August.
