PREPARING FOR WORSHIP

Pastor Trudy's Message


Hard sayings of Jesus! Not all parables are easy to hear or process and this weekend we will hear Luke 12:41-56 which includes a message about punishment and division. What if it is not Jesus' teachings that are hard...but it is our expectations and hearts that make it hard to hear what He has to say. These teachings are an opportunity for us to show Jesus that we are with Him, even in the things that are hard for us to receive or understand, up to and including the cross.  


Holy and Mighty God, You are with us through our challenges. Help us to join You in taking on the challenges in the world. Nothing is impossible with You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
