We have Christ in us, the hope of Glory! God wants us to grow in knowing our glorious King and encountering His glory. Could you imagine a life filled with the glory of God – our friendships, our families, our homes and our church all filled with His Glory?

Even though the resurrection is definitely a historical event and factual evidence of the deity of Christ - It is even more. Jesus' resurrection and our lives intersect today and that makes all the difference! In a world of doubt, discouragement and delay – we need fresh assurance of new life! Jesus did not only talk about the reality of resurrection, He actually IS our resurrection and our life

In this talk, we focus on Jesus’ words around Celebrating. When we study the life of Jesus, we often see Him being relational by simply eating with people. Jesus calls His followers into a lifestyle of enjoying Him, celebrating His life, love, grace, presence, forgiveness, etc.

As our Red Letter Challenge continues, we will dive into the parable of The Good Samaritan as we explore what Jesus says about being generous and our call to be kind to the needy.

Mark will also show us how giving is connected to going. 

Our Father in Heaven has asked us to be the light of the world by letting our light shine before humankind.

What does that mean and is it really possible in a world so full of pain and poverty? Can one person really make a difference, and will it be enough? The gospel response to that question is "Yes and Amen!"  

Have you ever heard “The Sound of Grace”? At the center of the good news of Jesus Christ lies the reality of forgiveness. It’s extremely powerful and the Red Letters of Jesus often liberate us around this truth.

To conclude our Experiencing God Weekend, our friend Bruce McAlpine brings us a word from the book of Revelation

Following Jesus hinges on “Being with Him”. Our doing flows from our being – it’s such an important reality in our walk of faith. Before we do amazing things with Him, obey His word or serve others – we have to grow in coming to Him.

As we transition from the Book of Jonah to our Red Letter Challenge, we will see that even though Jonah was used by God, he still was not secure in God. Our lives are fragile and we all wrestle with so many things. This is exactly why we need a firm foundation and to build our lives on Jesus Christ and on who He is and what He has said.

In this week’s message from the book of Jonah we see the beauty of Jonah’s obedient response to God’s invitation. God is about to reveal Himself to Nineveh and Jonah has an opportunity to be part of a powerful move of God. Just like Jonah, each of us have the opportunity to join our Father in His ministry
