Wisdom for Friendship

Good friendships are one of the greatest blessings in this life. They are sometimes even more meaningful than relationships with family. We know from experience that as iron sharpens iron so friends sharpen us personally and spiritually. Yet we live in a time that struggles deeply with loneliness and isolation. We long for meaningful relationships but we seem to lack the ability to find friends, forge friendships and then hold on to them for the long haul.

Join us on Sunday mornings during the month of May as we consider what the Bible has to say about the importance, value and wisdom of friendship.

Built Up and Sent Out

The book of Acts tells the story of the first Christians — built up in Jesus Christ and sent out by the Spirit. What begins as the eyewitness accounts of a few ordinary Jewish fisherman, launches into a movement that changed the world. Thousands of years later the book still compels us to ask: what gave them courage, purpose, and unity? What about their message changed the course of history? And ultimately, what relevance does this have for us today? 

Join us this summer as we engage with the first nine chapters of Acts as we see how these chapters shape the foundational character of the Christian identity, as the church is both: built up and sent out.

RECENT SERMONS AND TALKS

Rev. Jason Palacio - September 15, 2024

Sermon: Episode 2 - Coincidences

Scripture References: Esther 2:1-23

From Series: "The Hidden Hand of God: The Story of Esther"

There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. Stories are exciting and suspenseful, they captivate the imagination and inspire the will. The book of Esther is no exception. Except that, the story of Esther doesn’t simply exist to entertain its reader or convey truth or even to recall history. No, Esther is a story that recounts God’s surprising preservation of his promise and his people when they are threatened with annihilation by a superpower. Through the story of Esther we discover the hidden hand of God working out deliverance for his people and showing again and again, that he is faithful and powerful to do what he has promised. Although the Lord is never named or mentioned, as the story unfolds his invisible presence is glaringly obvious. The conclusion of the matter can only be that God is always present even when circumstances say otherwise. For the people of God today, the story of Esther provides a confident reassurance and a divine comfort that our God is always present and never absent, even when it isn’t obvious.
