Tune in to hear about how God has faithfully been at work in the 8th Street Church and what lies ahead as we seek to be good & useful neighbors that live the way of Jesus.

Jesus is our Divine Healer who not only sets us free from the things that hold us but sets us free for a purpose. He is the source of ultimate healing by his resurrection of the dead, and he reminds us that we too will be raised up. And when we tire from being people who do the work of healing in a broken world, he is the one who replenishes us, the one who restores our soul. Take a deep breath, you are not alone; there is more healing to come.

When you attend church, do you expect to be amazed? Do you anticipate that you will have a healing encounter with the Holy One? Mark 1:21-28 reminds us that Jesus's healing power has final say of the forces that hold us.

The Two Sides

Life during a pandemic feels like one of limitation. And yet, Paul's words to the church in Philippi remind us that it is in our limitations that we may find possibilities of liberation. What might God be inviting us to say "yes" to in this season full of "no's"?

In the midst a global pandemic, we are reminded that we live in a world of fear, disease, hunger, and isolation. And yet we are reminded that it is Lent that proceeds Easter, and that chaos is the material out of which God brings new life.

Sometimes it is the things that we think are the most harmless that can be the most destructive to us. What happens when we let apathy set in and begin to feel like our efforts don't matter? How can God redeem and restore us to people of hope who bring meaningful change in accordance with the kingdom?

Anger often consumes us. When we hold onto anger and allow it to be misused, it causes hurt and destruction in us around us. But, the good news is that God is able to take our anger and redeem it for God's purposes.

Just as Peter and John were witnesses to an incredible mountain experience, we here at the 8th street church have had many mountain top experiences of our own. But, it is on this Sunday that we take time to remember the ordinary as well as the extraordinary ways that God has worked in and among this community.
