This week Pastor Dale wraps up our TOV series by summarizing what makes a TOV church and how we as a church can emulate Christ.
This week, Pastor Michelle Kool from Covenant Christian Reformed Church teaches us about how a TOV church nurtures empathy through the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
A shorter episode this week as we gather around the communion table, and break bread with friends and strangers.
This week we're looking at the importance of words, and what it means to speak out God's love into the world.
This week we are putting into practice the habits that we use to follow Jesus, and walk in his footsteps.
What are the things that we do to enhance our relationship with God and live out the teachings that Jesus shared during his time on earth. This week we're learning about hospitality as we eat with friends and strangers.
How has Jesus being the Way been interpreted across time and denominations?
As we venture out into the world with light in our hearts, we are called to welcome others. That light is able to illuminate the darkness. What are ways that we overcome the darkness around us through our actions as a community?Our flashlight activity this week had us reflect light around the room with mirrors!
When we see darkness as an opportunity to build trust with God, our relationship with Him is developed guided by His influence in our lives. How do we place that trust in God as we walk in our valleys of darkness?
We are called to share God's light with the world, and many Christ followers are better than each of us alone. How does community help us spread the light of Christ to illuminate the darkness, and what are some ways that we build that community?
Light does not eliminate the darkness completely, just as there cannot be darkness without light. But light does illuminate what already resides in the darkness and allows us to see it in a new perspective. How do we use light to illuminate truth?
How does Joseph reconcile with his brothers and how is that reflected in the way we are to act with those around us.
Joseph is tasked with interpreting dreams, what does this mean for his relationship with the Pharaoh and with God? How do we bear God's image to the world.
This week we have a guest pastor walking us through the next segment of the Joseph story and what it means that God walks through the valleys with us.
This week we're learning from each other on how we learn and experience hospitality in our every day lives. Thank you to everyone who shared a story with us.
