Love well. Live differently.

Did you know the most frequent command in all of scripture is three simple words: “Be not afraid.” It shows up over 100 times in both the Old and New Testaments. God knew that the greatest obstacle we will face is fear. Fear of change, vulnerability, failure, suffering, you name it!

However, what scripture also illustrates is that many of God’s greatest gifts exist on the other side of our greatest fears. Think about the Israelites having to wander in the desert to reach the Promised Land. Think about the disciples leaving everything behind to encounter Jesus’ Kingdom on earth. Thus, it is safe to say that we are risking something either way. There is a risk to doing something about your fear AND doing nothing. There is a risk to both facing our fears AND leaving them in control.

Have you ever wondered what are we risking by not conquering the things we are afraid of? Have you ever wondered what God has waiting for you on the other side of your greatest fears?

This year, we are going to find out.

All Saints’ Day is when we pause to remember and give thanks for everyone who has gone before us in the faith. At 519, we want to remember your loved ones during our All Saints’ Service during worship on the 16th.

God is with us : in all things.

In all things : God is with us.

...Christ our Hope. The promise of hope does not shield us from the reality of disappointment. Jeremiah speaks of a prophecy that has been fulfilled in Jesus and yet we know that our world is far from perfect. Many people who believed Christ to be the Messiah were disappointed when he eventually died at the hands of the Roman empire. Part of truly experiencing Advent is knowing that God is with us both in our hope and in our disappointment. Jesus is Emmanuel in full, not in part.
