Matthew 25:1-13 | Jesus tells a parable about ten bridesmaids and their ability to be prepared for the coming of the Groom. It teaches us about how we are to live our lives as followers of Jesus.

Jesus sends the disciples out into ministry in Matthew 10, but not without first having an honest conversation about the challenges they will face. Still today, Christians are sent into a world that is not always welcoming. How should we respond when we find ourselves in the midst of wolves?

This week Pastor Neyda looks at Matthew 9:35-10:4 where Jesus teaches his disciples that the fields are ready for harvest- but that the workers are few. God is calling us to the fields!

Jesus consistently ministers in the margins, showing dignity and compassion while healing and setting people free. As we seek to follow the example of Jesus, we are called to the margins and must resist the temptation to call this ministry of mercy something evil.

Within the church, we talk about loving God all the time. Just how do we do that? In Mark 12, Jesus teaches the central message of the Scriptures and how we are to live our love for God by loving those around us.

As we continue our RE:JESUS series, Pastor Neyda looks at how Jesus broke down barriers by building bridges. In our polarized world, Christians have a responsibility to do the same.

Pastor Neyda leads us through our text of how we respond to Jesus when we believe we are too busy.

In Luke 5, Jesus helps Peter and the others with a miraculous catch of fish, and commissions Peter to be a "fisher of people." We look at what this means and how God uses our strengths to participate in the Mission of God.

In Luke 4, Jesus teaches in the Synagogue in Nazareth a sermon that would be remembered for a long time. It was controversial enough that the people tried to kill him. What kind of sermon would do that? How does Jesus' message inform our faith and the life of our church today?

This morning, we celebrate our laity who set an example of Christ-like service. We look at what it means to put our faith in Jesus that invites us to leap into service and ministry.
