Emmaus Church

Each of us often feel the weight of needing something we don't have. The paralyzed man and his friends experienced the same thing, and when they came to Jesus, not only did he meet their needs, but he showed them an even deeper need.

Ever felt like you were beyond reach? When a man with leprosy approaches Jesus, he finds compassion instead of rejection. Guest preacher, Luke Cassagrande, shows us how Jesus meets us in our brokenness and brings the cleansing and restoration we could never achieve on our own.

Ever felt overwhelmed by all the demands of life? Ever felt like the chaos has created distance between you and God? Jesus understands the chaos and shows us the value of drawing close to God, even in the busyness of life.

Imagine the most powerful person on earth and the most compassionate one. Jesus is both and so much more. Pastor Andrew walks us through Mark 1:21-34 where Jesus puts his power and compassion on display through some incredible miracles.

**How do we respond when Jesus calls?** As we look at the calling of the first disciples, we learn that when Jesus calls, we marvel at His grace, forsake everything else, and join in the mission of God.

Pastor Andrew kicks off our new series in the Gospel of Mark by discussing 4 signs that Jesus is what Mark claims him to be “The Son of God”.

Is self-control just saying “no” to bad things? The biblical vision of self-control is actually something much bigger. Pastor Andrew walks us through 1 Corinthians 9, showing us that self-control is the hard work of ordering our loves rightly—and that without the power of God at work within us, we simply can’t do it.

When was the last time you prayed for God to make you a gentle person? Gentleness is an often-overlooked dimension of the fruit of the Spirit. Pastor Andrew leads us through Matthew 11, looking at the gentle and lowly spirit of Jesus and how gentleness is a supernatural superpower forged through suffering.

What does faithfulness in the Christian life really look like? Sometimes, we can overcomplicate it. Pastor Andrew walks us through Acts 2, reminding us of the gift of faith and showing us what it looks like to practice faithfulness in our everyday lives.
