Michelle Paquette, Ebenezer Director of Student Ministries and guest speaker, reminds us that we not only have to have a solid foundation on Christ's teachings, but even more we must build our lives on that foundation. The crowds we're amazing at Christ's teachings. Jesus doesn't want us to stop there. He actually calls us to live it out each and e…

During his earthly ministry, Jesus spent much time preparing his disciples, followers, and listeners for the Kingdom of God that is at hand— calling them repent, to reorient their lives to focus on God, and give them a glimpse of what is ahead. Preparation is not about predicting the future; it is about presence-ing yourself as it unfolds. We are a…

The quadrants of Focus 2023 (Worship, Discipleship, Community, & Service), could not function without Giving and Serving. 1 Timothy 6, challenges us on our priorities and perspectives about Giving.

The Company of Christians makes a difference. We are resident agents of reconciliation who get to tell people about what God is like, how to know God, how God can be experienced, and provide a scriptural and biblical witness to others that is unlike anything the world has seen. This is why we show up as agents of grace, knowing that we don’t work f…

If we follow Jesus, we need to know what matters to Jesus. What is most important to him? Jesus tells us in Mark 12:28-34: full-on loving God and loving our neighbors in the same way that we love ourselves. Romans 12:1-5 helps put hands and feet to living that out. Our new Focus 2030 priorities help us understand how to put that into practice, too.…

The birth of Jesus is evidence of God’s love for us and God’s desire that we not live this life alone. Jesus does not come when things are going smoothly. Jesus comes because they are not. The song Silent Night was not written when things were going smoothly either. Hear the words of Luke 2:1-20 and the words of this Silent Night. Let God bring lig…

Paul uses a farm analogy to invite the Christian community in Corinth to acknowledge the profound impact their gift-giving, investment can make in the lives of many folks. “…whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” As followers of Christ, we are called, challenged, and invited to res…

It may be difficult for us to comprehend who Jesus is, what he does, and what he knows about us when he steps into our world. We can only answer from the context and experience of our own lives. There is no way for us to know all that Jesus would do. Having been immobile for most of his life, a man trusted the waters, believed to contain healing pr…
