Psalm 130 reads like a Delta Blues song! A man out in the yard talking about how sorry he is and hopping for forgiveness. However unlike a blues tune we have an assurance in the Lord that the longevity of his goodness will outlast our momentary failings. 

Sr. Pastor Dan Van Horne and Director of Worship & Arts Clayton Winters discuss our fist Psalm in our Summer Series. 

We are still grappling with Justice as a nation and as a church. How does the culture of the Kingdom of God instruct to to engage in issues like these in our day? How should we then interact with others when Kindness, Justice, and Humility are our guides.

After covering Amos 5 on Sunday Dan and Clayton dive into the topic of equipping to the Church to see the issue of Justice and Equality

through the eyes of the Kingdom versus the lens of our culture. Calling for humble repentance and prayer as we seek to bind up the broken and strengthen the helpless. 

This week we give a sneak Peak of the conversations and preparations that take place as we aim towards our new series starting this Sunday.

Crossroads Sr. Pastor Tom Kay joins us as we continue our conversation about what it means to be an awe inspiring community of Jesus followers. We take time to contemplate just how big a miracle it is when some one has a heart change for the Lord, and spend a few moments on the goodness of our God in His unfailing pursuit of those he has chosen!

Using the gifts that have been given to you, for the building up of others and the Kingdom, should be a reflection of the love that you have recieved from Jesus, the great gift giver. The experience of walking in "The Most Excellent Way" is one of being stamped with each trait of God's nature as you exercise the gifts you have been given for the benifit of others!

The Gifts that God has given you are not for you keep, they are for you to give away freely to those you are in community with. It is through this that we see the body of believers built up into the likeness of Jesus. So don't keep your gifts all to yourself. Share them with friends!

A body is made of many parts, and each part has is purpose. That purpose is best acomplished when we, using the unique gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit, use them faithfully to encourage and grow others in the likeness of Jesus. As we trust God in this process we too are built up into his likeness.
