Discover the profound message of grace in Pastor Nate’s reflection on the parable of the workers in the vineyard from Matthew 20. This parable challenges our understanding of God and reveals the nature of God’s kingdom—a kingdom marked by grace. The landowner’s act of paying all workers the same wage, regardless of their hours, reveals God’s grace to be an undeserved gift, freely given. Grace initiates a relationship with God and transforms us, empowering us to live generously and lovingly. Reflect on how you can embrace and extend grace in your life, and reorient your view of God around Jesus.

The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18 challenges our perceptions of righteousness and invites us to experience God’s nearness. The Pharisee’s prayer contrasts with the tax collector’s humble plea for mercy. Jesus declares the tax collector justified, a shocking surprise to his audience. This story encourages us to create communities where it’s okay to not be okay and to seek God’s mercy in our daily lives.

[July 28, 2024] In John 6, Jesus says some wild things: “My flesh is true food and my body is true drink.” He had a following, but some of his followers weren’t so sure they were in anymore. What’s going on? What does it mean for us? When we dig into this story, we find it incredible relevant for our own lives. What Jesus is offering to them (and to us) is the thing we need more than the thing(s) we think we need. Which is? … Be sure to listen.

[July 21, 2024] Rejection. Sometimes this topic gets confusing because Christians can fall into the trap of thinking, “Because I was rejected, I am doing Jesus’ work.” But rejection is not validation that you’re doing the work of Jesus. Luke’s Gospel shares a story of Jesus being rejected. Why did they reject Jesus and his message? This story is key for us in understanding what it means to face rejection because of Jesus (and what it doesn’t). Be sure to listen.
