Feelings are misleading. Especially in times of waiting and wondering we are tempted to trust our feelings. God's faithfulness is sure. And the call for the disciples in the "upper room" and the call of our church today is the same ... in our waiting trust the faithfulness of God to fulfill his Word. Here's Sunday's message from Acts 1:15-26

Just a couple of weeks ago we considered the importance of denying self. After all this is what Jesus did in life and on the cross. This is particularly vital for us as we prepare to become Church in the Square and start a new season of the same mission on the near west side of Chicago. And so we trust this message from Matthew 16 will continue to be instructive for us as Jesus builds his church

(CORRECTION: The statue in Emancipation Park is of Robert E. Lee. Please forgive us for the misspoken detail.) This message was a response from Ephesians 2 to the events in Charlottesville, VA on August 12, 2017. We pray that Jesus uses this message for his glory and that it is instructive and encouraging to your heart.
