For many years the people of Israel prayed for a savior who would draw them back towards God, and restore their nation. They studied prophecy about this coming savior so that they would be able to know when he comes, and celebrate his arrival. And yet, Jesus comes into the world without notice, leads three years of ministry, mostly without notice from the very people studying so they would not miss him.
God renews our minds through the hope of salvation and equips us with His living and active Word. As we close the series, we’ll explore how what we believe shapes how we think, and how Scripture works in us and through us in everyday life. Rooted in Him, we are both formed by His truth and sent out to live it.
This week we will look at several passages that help us to understand who we are. To be created in the image of God is a beautiful blessing full of great joy, but it is also a calling. Join us as we work through what it means: to be a steward, to be a servant, to be gracious, and to be hopeful.
Faith doesn’t remove life’s challenges, but it reshapes how we walk through them. When doubts, fears, and hardships come, faith becomes the way we trust God’s character and promises in real time. We will talk about how a growing, active faith can guard our hearts and help us remain rooted no matter what we face.
