Do you believe in the resurrection?  It's an astounding belief.  Easy to doubt and be skeptical, for we know that 'dead means dead.'  And to believe in the resurrection is to believe that there has only been one exception to the truth, 'dead means dead.'  The claims of Jesus.  

Texts for Sunday: Job 9:33 and John 3:1-26  Hermetic principles.  Been looking into this.  Much information available from quick searches that tie this notion to 'mentalism' or eastern religions.  Yet, there are deep themes around it that resonate with a Biblical Worldview.  After all, 'creation sings, around me rings, the music of the spheres'.  After all, everything was created by God, by God's design, and so, we human beings are always observing God's world leading us to create theories about God's world, sometimes accurate, sometimes not so much.  Again, God's design for us, in His image, to engage such things.

As we continue to understand the love of God for us through what the Bible reveals as justification, atonement, redemption, and reconciliation, and the like, we further understand the purpose of our lives.

This Sunday we celebrate communion, have our fellowship meal post potluck, and welcome Pastor Dave Beelen, friend, mentor, and colleague of Mark and Deone, who will bring the message this Sunday. As we continue in our discipleship message series, the message will focus on our identity in Baptism! 

Atonement: Do you ever wonder about all the animal sacrifices in the Old Testament?  Why all the shedding of blood?  What is the purpose of all the priestly roles of the Levites for God's people?  Many have difficulty seeing the forest through the trees with these things... Let's come together Sunday, seek God together, ask for an epiphany.
