Welcoming All, Empowered by Christ, Sent Forth to Serve

January 26, 2020 message: “Words to Live By”

Jesus’ first words are “repent” (turn around and go a new way) and “follow me.” He promises transformation for those who follow him – taking the daily, dirty work of their lives and using their gifts to “catch” others in relationship with him. And they go – without hesitation. What happens when we live by Jesus’ bold words?

Pastor Mary’s message is based on Matthew 4: 12-23 and Psalm 27.

But following Jesus is more than this superficial connecting that we hide behind. To follow Jesus is a lifelong journey.
