The world is a field from which people are being harvested by Jesus and gathered into the kingdom of God. The church is the harvested people of God who are sent back into the field to gather others. We have been given new eyes to see the world as a field ripe for harvest.  Let us enter this field and join Jesus in the joy of gathering.

This week, Justin and Scott sit down to discuss how Jesus’ discussion about worship in John 4 shapes us as a congregation.

A Worshiping Congregation - Words of Grace Podcast - October 12, 2021

A woman asked Jesus where the proper place of worship is. Jesus answered by telling her who the true worshippers are. True worshippers are those who worship the Father in spirit and truth. Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit and makes us spiritually alive. From Jesus, we receive the fullness of grace and truth. Wherever the gathered people of faith in Jesus are, there is the place where God is worshipped.

Jesus Shapes Our Church - Words of Grace Podcast - October 5, 2021

Jesus offers living water and invites us to ask him for it. The living water metaphor is all through the Bible and prominent in the Gospel of John. From it we understand that Jesus is offering cleansing from sin, spiritual life that begins now and continues on forever, and the very life of God in our souls by the indwelling of his Spirit. What prevents a person from asking Jesus for living water? What moves a person to sincerely ask for living water in faith? Let’s pray that the preventers will be removed, and the motivation will be granted for us and others to ask for and receive this living water that only Jesus can give.

Intergenerational Discipleship - Families at Grace Podcast - September 28, 2021

John brought a word of clarity to a dispute over religious rituals and ministry success. The point of all ritual and the purpose of all ministry is the increase of the glory and grace of Jesus. He must increase. Today we ask the Lord for clarity in our minds, faith in our hearts, and focus in our lives, that we may pursue the increase of Jesus in our congregation and city.

The well known account of Jesus cleansing the Temple is about much more than righteous anger. Jesus’ actions and words in the Temple that day expressed his love and pointed to his redeeming death and resurrection. As we consider what Jesus did and said, may the God of hope fill us with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope (Romans 15:13).
