“Here I Stand”

Today is Reformation Sunday. Do you know the story? Of how Martin Luther nailed his “voice” to the door of the church to speak out for change? He wasn’t acting in isolation, but following the examples he’d read about in scripture time and time again of people like the Apostles John and Peter, who faced persecution and still could say, “for we cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

“Game Changers”

Numbers 27:1 says, “...Zelophehad was son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the clans of Manasseh, son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah…” 

Are you already lost with boredom? Sometimes we skip passages that include long genealogies like this. They, however, are the Word of God and not to be missed. For, what comes next is an account of a groundbreaking social justice shift that changed the governance and history of Israel! 

Today, we can learn much from the account of these brave and outspoken daughters of Zelophehad as we seek to speak up for what is fair, and just, and right in our world.

“The Prayer of the Martyr”

Our first “voice of change” is Stephen, the first Martyr. He gave his very life to testify to Jesus. What can we learn from both his words and actions? We might be surprised to find that the deeper change that he effected came not through lofty speeches, but through prayer.

Picture this scene on a Sunday morning as two worshippers are rushing into the sanctuary a few minutes late: “Hi John.” “Hi Tom.” “How ya doing?” “Good. You?” “Fine. Good to see ya!” “Yeah, you too. Let’s catch up sometime.” Spoiler alert, they never do catch up sometime. 

Christ centered relationships have got to go deeper than this! Real biblical partnership requires a shift from surface-level small talk to transparent, vulnerable relationships that foster healing and confession. God wants believers to have friendships that are real, deep, and faithful.

“Stepping Up”

Today’s 24Hour Prayer Vigil is a strong reminder to re-prioritize prayer in our daily lives. In prayer we reach up to God for His help and transformative power. In the end, prayer does not change God, it changes us. It is not about us getting everything we want. It is about humbling ourselves before Him, seeking to be transformed by prayer and reshaped, bit by bit, into a more complete image of Christ.

“Stepping In”

Sometimes we are so focused on everything going on around us we fail to stop and reflect on what might be going on inside of our own hearts. How much of a part do self-reflection and self-examination play in our daily lives? 

Stepping In is all about pausing long enough to honestly evaluate our lives in light of God’s word in order to see where sin hides within us. It is time to clean the inside of the cup!

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Today we celebrate The Lord’s Supper. Communion is a forced pause to rest in Christ’s finished work. We come to the banquet table of a victory won by a God who lifts our burdens and brings rest to our souls. 

But slowing down is hard for us. We are busy people: overworked, overcommitted, and overburdented. Is this killing your intimacy with God and your sense of connection with others? Absolutely! 

Today’s scripture, Psalm 23, reminds us that even in this hyper-busy digital world we can find peace and restoration in our Shepherd, Jesus Christ.

Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Today our focus is on the question of where we should worship. Our ultimate act of worship does not end when the closing benediction is spoken and our pastor says, “Go in Peace”. It continues throughout our daily life in obedience, work, and relationships. Everyday can be lived like Sunday, even as Sunday redefines how every day can be lived.
