"We are a sent people, sent by God to others: sent to our families, our co-workers, our neighbors. No matter how inadequate you may feel or how many false prophets stand in your way, God's promise is that he will never send you to do something without giving you the power to do it." — Father Trevor McMaken

Father Trevor and Pastor Bonnie McMaken share about their summer sabbath and how in saying no to many things and feeling so limited, they experienced our limitless God.

"We all have those "until moments"—"everything was going great, until..." So how do we as the church approach those "until moments"? We pray, we pray together, with urgency, and tenacity, knowing that in response to the prayers of the church the power of God overcomes the power of evil, even in the face of setbacks or our fragile faith." — Chad Magnuson

"God's plan has always been to bless all peoples of the earth by giving us his very spirit to live with us and to give us power to live in the way Jesus lives." — Lindsey and David Goetz

"We all need a real, physical encounter with the resurrected Jesus. We don't all get to meet Jesus like Saul did on the road to Damascus, but we can encounter the resurrected Jesus here in the Church through the Sacraments of Baptism, and Holy Communion." — Deacon Casey Solgos

"The call for Philip and the Ethiopian came for them while they were both in transit—the seemingly unimportant time in between destinations. How often do we get impatient with God, wishing he would just take us where we need to go, when in fact he's calling us to something that's right in front of us. God doesn't need you to arrive at some grand destination before he can begin working in you and through you." — Pastor Kevin Sheehan

"Surrender yourself afresh to Jesus who is among us as one who serves and who will stand to welcome you with open arms into that place he is preparing for you." — Deacon Val McIntyre

"A church that is radically oriented to Christ is a church radically oriented to one another. It's the resurrection that gives us hope that what is to come is far greater than anything we could experience on this earth. We have the freedom to give whatever we need to give, sacrifice whatever we need to sacrifice, endure whatever we need to endure, because we are awaiting the return of Jesus."— Father Brett Crull

"How often, when we pray, do we ask for safety or that circumstances would change? We can follow the example of this church in Acts and pray "Lord, see what is happening, give me courage." That he might stretch out his hand, heal, bless, forgive, and restore." — Deacon Margie Fawcett

"All healings on this earth are either partial, or temporary. But they are also a promise, a promise of a complete and permanent healing—called Resurrection." — Deacon Casey Solgos
