GO Anyway

Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 "When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted." — Matthew 28:17 One of the most comforting verses in all of Scripture is tucked into the middle of the Great Commission. Matthew tells us that when the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus, they worshiped Him—but some doubted. Let me read this again…But some doubted. What would you do differently today if you believed that God's presence was more important than having all the answers?

Together When it Happened

We live in a world that celebrates the solo story. The self-made person. The need for individualism. We have been quietly taught that needing other people is a weakness and that the strongest faith is the one that stands completely alone. Because all we need is us and God, right? But when the Holy Spirit showed up on Pentecost, God didn't send a memo to one person. God filled a space. The detail that anchors everything in Acts 2 is easy to overlook: they were all together. Before there was wind and fire. Before anyone spoke in a language they hadn't learned, they were there in community. Laughing, smiling, telling stories, greeting one another and just waiting.

That Ain't Kind...You Just Know Scripture

Scripture: "And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge... but have not love, I am nothing." — 1 Corinthians 13:2 Beloved, can I sit with you for a minute? I need us to talk about something we don't say out loud, especially not in church. Because we have a habit, and most of us have been on both sides of it at some point. We have learned how to say something that cuts a person deep, wrap it up in a smile and a scripture, and call it kindness. It is not kindness. That's nice-nasty. And it's time we learned the difference.

On the Journey With me!

Remember Jesus will Stay with you. "As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, 'Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.' So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him." — Luke 24:28–31 (NIV) Song: Jordan G.

It is Wednesday of Holy Week and one of the hardest question to ask yourself. during Holy Week is what did you sell out Jesus for? When were the times that you consciously and unconsciously chose to go another way? Song: Pray & Quiet Time by DappyT Keys
