Were you aware that Psalms 120-134 were sung by groups of Jewish worshipers on their way up to Jerusalem for the High Holy Days? In fact, your bible likely subtitles each of them ‘A Song of Ascents’. It is believed that Jewish worshipers would travel in groups, families and sometimes entire villages, singing these Psalms along the way of the Holy City. But even more interesting, these 15 songs span the entire Christian journey from salvation to glorification passing through the ups and downs of sanctification. They take us from the valley of repentance, to the heights of Christian joy. Step by step, we are urged onward and upward in these Songs of Ascents, learning endurance in the face of constant opposition. What we need is a guide and a friend to help us along the way. Both of them will be found in these fifteen Psalms. Come along as we climb the hill together, onward and upward to our eternal joy!
What do you know about the kingdom of God? One interesting and exciting insight is that it was the central teaching of Jesus. “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Matthew 4:17. Despite the kingdom of heaven (or God) being so central, many Christians have no idea of its significance. In this new sermon series called The Shift, we are going to look at the gospel of Matthew, who focused more on this subject than any of the other gospel writers. We will discover that the Kingdom of God is at odds with our world, and one of power, beauty and radical worth, ruled by Jesus Christ the King of all kings. Yet living under the rule of a king, even if it is God, strikes against our instincts. After all, we are Americans, liberated from the English Monarchs. What freedom awaits the Christian who begins to shift their focus and allegiance to live for the kingdom that endures forever. We begin by looking at the birth of the King of this kingdom and learn to sit at His feet as His disciples. Follow us as we follow the disciple Matthew who shows us the majesty of King Jesus and the radical life of living in His kingdom!

Another year, another tax season, holidays, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, anniversaries, etc…these things constantly repeat themselves-things that we celebrate and remember for years; these are things that we never forget, but if we do, we are very disappointed in ourselves. The feeling of guilt and shame overtake us, and we scurry around frantically trying to make things right (missed a birthday, forgot a gift on Christmas,etc.) Or even if we remember we sometimes say, “I could have done that better…” “They deserve better,” “I could have planned better and not have waited until the last minute.” But do we ever worry about forgetting the purpose and call that God has for our lives? Do we ever worry about our prayer life becoming lackadaisical? Are we in a rush to serve the kingdom, are we just as persistent in making sure that we don’t forget the calling and the commission that God laid out for us?

Were the Beatles right when they sang, ‘All You Need Is Love’? ‘It’s easy’, they crooned. We would all likely agree that love is not as easy as the song claims. Yet they were getting at the truth that the bible reached a long time before Lennon and McCartney wrote that song. It all boils down to love. Love God and love each other. Jesus promised, “By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35. Yet in our increasingly divided world, what is most important often seems to be the most lacking. How well will we love as a nation-wide election is upon us? How distinct will our love be as our culture tries to force us to redefine it? Will people know we belong to Jesus by the way we love each other in our church? Come along with us as we sit at the feet of 1 Corinthians 13 and look closely at a diamond called Love with all its brilliant, flawless facets. What we will see is the character of Jesus reflecting back to us. Our aim is to discover what Love Is and how we can have the power to live it out.

What we will see is the character of Jesus reflecting back to us. Our aim is to discover what Love Is and how we can have the power to live it out.
Were the Beatles right when they sang, ‘All You Need Is Love’? ‘It’s easy’, they crooned. We would all likely agree that love is not as easy as the song claims. Yet they were getting at the truth that the bible reached a long time before Lennon and McCartney wrote that song. It all boils down to love. Love God and love each other. Jesus promised, “By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35. Yet in our increasingly divided world, what is most important often seems to be the most lacking. How well will we love as a nation-wide election is upon us?

“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” -John 20:30–31No one on earth had a more intimate relationship with Jesus than the Apostle John and through his gospel, we can know and draw nearer to the One Who loves us more than we could ever hope and imagine. John wrote his gospel with a clear purpose in mind: that we might believe that Jesus is the One Who can save us, and experience the fullness of the life He offers both here and for eternity. Come along with us as we learn how to have that life in the powerful name of Jesus.

There is a grand storyline in the bible and it is one which too few Christians understand. It is stunningly beautiful and it snaps the entire scripture into clarity which fuses together every page of its holy writings. Here it is in short: God wants to dwell in the midst of His people and He is on the move to make that happen. In fact, it is God’s mission, and one which is seen in many places of the scriptures. Here is one of those places: “I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.” Leviticus 26:11-12. From Genesis to Revelation, this redemptive highway runs. And once we step onto it, it will take us to the heights of glory as we see exactly what God is doing on this earth! When you understand where He is going and what lies ahead of us, you will experience faith, hope and joy for this journey of life. So come join us as we follow our God who is on the move.

Generosity is so satisfying, yet oddly, so difficult to put into action. Consider that we live in the richest nation in history, yet only 9% of Christians give to charity, and those who do only give 2.5% away. Incredibly, we who have been given so much by our God give only slightly more than non Christians who give on average 1-2% of their income to charity. So why don’t Christians give more? Why do their hands close possessively over possessions and finances? After all, 17 of the 38 parables Jesus gave were about possessions? According to Wes Wilmer, the topic of possessions and giving is mentioned 2,172 times in the bible, 3 times more than the topic of love. How can we become generous with our possessions and finances? It won’t be through guilt and manipulation, which are external pressures. It will be by the internal, transformative power of the gospel which generates a heart desire to open our hands to give generously. We invite you to join us as we learn how to have Generous Hearts, Open Hands and learn the exciting joy of generosity when the gospel changes our lives.

What would it be like to successfully slow down this Advent season, and be able to truly focus on celebrating the birth of Jesus? One of the schemes of the devil in our culture is busyness, and it is a wildly successful one. At Cornerstone, we are aiming to slow down, and approach this Advent season a little differently than the usual way. We are going to discover several obscure passages where the bible foretold the birth of the Savior of the world. We invite you to join us this Advent season as we will be Finding Christmas in Unexpected Places.

Christians have three invisible enemies that the Bible warns about: Satan, this world system, and the flesh. The mastermind of the three is the devil, and he has schemes, strategies, and ploys. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11. Many Christians today are unaware of these schemes. The Apostle Paul taught the early churches and us about the devil’s strategies “So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.” 2 Corinthians 2:11. But here is what we must understand: Satan does not have unlimited strategies and schemes. He is the master recycler, taking the same few and using them over and over against humanity, especially God’s people. In this series, we will look back at the Old Testament to learn about some of these schemes and watch how God overcame them by raising up faithful servants. We may be surprised to see that what this fearsome enemy did thousands of years ago, is the same thing he is doing in our generation today. Rampant materialism, the attacks on gender, abortion of babies, division, and rebellion are all stuck on repeat. Yet we will see again and again that “He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4. Will you be today’s Elijah, Jehu, or Josiah whom God uses to defeat the schemes of the devil? Join us for this explosive series and rediscover that not only is there nothing new under the sun, but our God is faithful and will be victorious!

We may be surprised to see that what this fearsome enemy did thousands of years ago, is the same thing he is doing in our generation today. Rampant materialism, the attacks on gender, abortion of babies, division, and rebellion are all stuck on repeat. Yet we will see again and again that “He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4. Will you be today’s Elijah, Jehu, or Josiah whom God uses to defeat the schemes of the devil? Join us for this explosive series and rediscover that not only is there nothing new under the sun, but our God is faithful and will be victorious!
Christians have three invisible enemies that the Bible warns about: Satan, this world system, and the flesh. The mastermind of the three is the devil, and he has schemes, strategies, and ploys. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11. Many Christians today are unaware of these schemes. The Apostle Paul taught the early churches and us about the devil’s strategies “So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.” 2 Corinthians 2:11. But here is what we must understand: Satan does not have unlimited strategies and schemes. He is the master recycler, taking the same few and using them over and over against humanity, especially God’s people.

God demands that all the earth worship Him, and for many, that seems so selfish. Mockers have even asked if God has such a fragile self-esteem that if people don’t worship Him, He gets angry. Yet, think with me a moment on this statement: God has created us to be most full of life when our lives are most full of Him. To worship God is to affirm Him as our greatest priority. When we do that, we don’t worry as much, we don’t give in to temptation as much, and we don’t run after those things we think will make us happy, like fame, security, or beauty, to name a few. If you fall in love with someone, you want to tell people about it, you want to tell that person about it. When you have a great experience at a restaurant, you want others to go eat there, so you talk about it. That incredible vacation has to be told about. It is no different in our relationship with God. To worship Him is to tell Him and others how much we appreciate and love Him. How great He has proven Himself to be! So, how can we learn to do this together as a church? How can we be a church where God is exalted and truly worshiped? Come along with us as we learn to be a place where we can experience our God and return to Him our worship. A place where He is high and lifted up!

The most popular passage from the bible spoken at weddings actually has very little to do with marriage, and that is 1 Corinthians 13:4, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast…” Of course, all these attributes of love will thrive in a marriage when they are in the hearts of husbands and wives, but the Apostle Paul taught us this passage to plant them deeply in the hearts of the redeemed. This is what a church can be! Yet he began with a warning: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1. Cornerstone, it is time to love, urgently! It is getting spiritually darker everywhere, even in the ‘Church’. Division, lawlessness, hatred, bigotry, authoritarianism…and do not be mistaken, it is all aimed at the people of God! Now, more than ever before in our lifetimes, we must speak truth and love, both inside the walls of our church and outside! We are going to need each other for the journey ahead, so join us in our summer series as we look at the ‘one anothers’ from the bible, each of which will help us ‘Love like Jesus’.

Do you remember singing the old hymn, Crown Him with Many Crowns? To refresh your memory, the lyrics go like this: “Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee, and hail Him as thy matchless king through all eternity…” I grew up singing it in the church, and it felt like I was being transported into the courts of heaven with the voices of a great angelic choir all around. Jesus is deserving of all crowns, but did you know that the New Testament talks of 5 crowns that He will give to His faithful followers? We invite you to join us in this new series, The Crowned, as we discover the incredible honor of each of them as well as the powerful motivations they produce in God’s people to live faithfully for His glory.

"This is probably one of the greatest statements in the book of Romans, and that is knowing that we are MORE than Conquerors: More than any circumstance, problem, worry, or doubt. The Bible declares that we are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!" -Pastor Tony Dorsey

There may not be a more exciting book in the bible than Acts. It is like having an embedded reporter there at the birth of the church and all through her rapid expansion. That is in fact, what we have as Luke carefully recorded the history of the church, beginning with the final words of Jesus before He returned to His Father: ‘you will be My witnesses...to the end of the earth.’ (Acts 1:8). It is a world-wide mission that we have, and as we will see, it is a mission that cannot be stopped. But it can be slowed. Not by outside forces so much as internal apathy and complacency within the church. The church must wake up and get on the move and live out the mission we have been given. This hard-hitting series will challenge us to get moving, to be the invincible church all the way to the end of the earth.

There are very few words that carry more emotion and significance than ‘family’. For some it speaks of joy, warmth, safety and love, while for others, the word evokes anything but what is positive. Yet God trumpets family from page after page of His good news to us. Almost nowhere do we see family more gloriously than in the unlikely and often overlooked opening of Galatians 4. This Advent season we are going to look at ‘The Greatest Christmas Family.’ We will see that the Heavenly Father sent, Jesus the Son redeemed, and the Holy Spirit dwells. All that is missing in this incredible family, maybe you! Join us as we follow along with Galatians 4 and look at what many believe is the doctrine that lies at the heart of the gospel…adoption. May we all learn this Christmas season how to cry out from our hearts, ‘Abba! Father!’

Over the years, I have studied a great deal about the land of Israel and the biblical events that happened there. Yet I have never been to the land of Israel, and I know there is a massive difference between reading something in a book and experiencing it in person! In the same way, as we read and study the Old Testament, we are constantly being pointed to and given glimpses of Jesus. But when you arrive at the gospels, He is revealed to us in His glory. No more shadows or glimpses, but right there for us to see and to know and be amazed by. This is why I am so excited about our summer sermon series in the gospel of Jesus according to Luke. Luke will clearly show us Jesus, and my hope and expectation is that we will all come away more drawn to the Son of God than ever before! Welcome to the Summer in the Son series, and I encourage you to leave your (Son)block at home and instead bask in the light of Jesus, Who is the ‘radiance of the glory of God’ Hebrews 1:3.

Several years ago, I was on the verge of collapse wondering how on earth I even got to that place. I shouldn’t have been surprised since I was responsible for all Christian Education from nursery to adult, the pastor over student ministries, seeing 26 people in counseling and at the same time trying to finish my graduate degree. Yet I always seemed to have a seemingly endless endurance in ministry so I just kept going. But in March of 2006, God pulled the drain plug of that reserve, and I ran dry…fast! It was a Tuesday morning when I dropped to my knees and began pouring my heart out to God asking Him what was wrong with me. In what has been one of two times in my life, God vividly answered me speaking deeply in my heart. He didn’t tell me to create boundaries, or to get adequate rest, or to deal with my heart’s idols. He gave me purpose. I can still quote what He said to me: Tim, here is why I created you. Here is why you are on this planet. Take My Word and get it to the hearts of people and lead them into transformation. You do this and you will be supremely satisfied. Instantly, the power came back on in my life, life came back into my body, for purpose had come into my soul. I learned to live with a single-minded focus on God’s purpose for my life. This is what Multiply^3 is about…purpose. Specifically, God’s purpose for our church. What is the purpose of God for our church and how can we live that purpose out, together? We are going to embark on a four week sermon series that is intended to help us understand the answers to those questions. If you call Cornerstone your home, then come along with us and live a multiplying life. And if you are just visiting these sermons, you will still be encouraged to see the power of God’s purpose in your own life and in your own church!

Instantly, the power came back on in my life, life came back into my body, for purpose had come into my soul. I learned to live with a single-minded focus on God’s purpose for my life. This is what Multiply3 is about…purpose. Specifically, God’s purpose for our church. What is the purpose of God for our church and how can we live that purpose out, together? We are going to embark on a four week sermon series that is intended to help us understand the answers to those questions. If you call Cornerstone your home, then come along with us and live a multiplying life. And if you are just visiting these sermons, you will still be encouraged to see the power of God’s purpose in your own life and in your own church!
Several years ago, I was on the verge of collapse wondering how on earth I even got to that place. I shouldn’t have been surprised since I was responsible for all Christian Education from nursery to adult, the pastor over student ministries, seeing 26 people in counseling and at the same time trying to finish my graduate degree. Yet I always seemed to have a seemingly endless endurance in ministry so I just kept going. But in March of 2006, God pulled the drain plug of that reserve, and I ran dry…fast! It was a Tuesday morning when I dropped to my knees and began pouring my heart out to God asking Him what was wrong with me. In what has been one of two times in my life, God vividly answered me speaking deeply in my heart. He didn’t tell me to create boundaries, or to get adequate rest, or to deal with my heart’s idols. He gave me purpose. I can still quote what He said to me: Tim, here is why I created you. Here is why you are on this planet.

The family ought to be a safe haven for us in this difficult life, yet it is often anything but a welcome refuge. The same can be true in our church family. What would our families be like-both nuclear and church- if the power and life of the gospel was to be unleashed in us? How would we relate with each other? What would life be like with one another? That is the goal of this series, to experience the transforming power of the life of Jesus Christ in our church family, as we serve our great God together in this increasingly hostile world. Come along on this short journey as we find our hope in the gospel’s power to give us a heart for a family!

There may not be a more exciting book in the bible than Acts. It is like having an embedded reporter there at the birth of the church and all through her rapid expansion. That is in fact, what we have as Luke carefully recorded the history of the church, beginning with the final words of Jesus before He returned to His Father: ‘you will be My witnesses...to the end of the earth.’ (Acts 1:8). It is a worldwide mission that we have, and as we will see, it is a mission that cannot be stopped. But it can be slowed. Not by outside forces so much as internal apathy and complacency within the church. The church must wake up and get on the move and live out the mission we have been given. This hard-hitting series will challenge us to get moving, to be the invincible church all the way to the end of the earth.
Sermon on Loving the Lord, one and only God, with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

There may not be a more exciting book in the bible than Acts. It is like having an embedded reporter there at the birth of the church and all through her rapid expansion. That is in fact, what we have as Luke carefully recorded the history of the church, beginning with the final words of Jesus before He returned to His Father: ‘you will be My witnesses...to the end of the earth.’ (Acts 1:8). It is a world-wide mission that we have, and as we will see, it is a mission that cannot be stopped. But it can be slowed.

It’s Christmas time again, which for many is the most wonderful time of the year. A time that we celebrate the birth of Jesus, give and receive gifts, and sing. We sing Christmas songs called carols. In fact, many people still go caroling. Have you ever wondered what a ‘Carol’ even is? It is more than a baby’s name, it is a word for a song of praise and joy. Here at Cornerstone, we love to sing. And we will be celebrating with songs of praise and joy, with Christmas carols, many of which have some incredibly wonderful lyrics.
Take for instance this verse from the oddly titled song, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen: “Fear not then, said the Angel Let nothing you affright This day is born a Savior Of a pure Virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's pow'r and might Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
What a powerful, Christ-exalting song of praise and joy...a Christmas Carol. This Advent season, we will be looking at the original Christmas Carols, the ones from the bible. We will learn the carols that were written and sung by Elizabeth, Mary, Zechariah, an angel, Simeon, and a special one you may not be familiar with. Come join us as we learn to sing these songs from our hearts and witness of Jesus Christ to the end of the earth!

It is true in friendship and marriage and it is true with God: To know Him is to love Him! What a wonderful truth that all God’s people have, that our God desires greatly that we know Him. It is in that knowledge that we grow in awe and confidence, what the Bible calls holy fear. And He has done that all through the bible by showing us various attributes, characteristics of Himself that are true yesterday and today and forever. That in itself is one of His great attributes, His unchangeable nature! Loren Cunningham started the ministry, Youth with a Mission, whose stated purpose is to ‘Know God and make Him known’. We are going to have the privilege of taking what we learn of our God and sharing those truths with other people who need to know how great He really is. Come join us for our summer series as we embark on a journey of discovery of our great God.

The church at Colossae was struggling. It was a church started by Epaphras, a fellow missionary with Paul. But a church started is not always a church grounded, and a journey begun is not always a journey finished. The planted seeds of the good news of Jesus Christ had sprouted but they were wind-lashed and choked by the ever-present weeds of worldliness and false teaching. Epaphras visited Paul in prison and shared with him the struggles of this church, and Paul wrote to help these new believers grow and become established in their faith. We will discover how familiar this letter is to our own modern times. The same forces at work against this church are still at work against us. The same instruction that Paul gave them, is the same that we need today. How do believers grow in their faith? How can we help each other continue on this journey and not give up, to endure until the end of our lives? Those answers will be seen in our 7-week series called The Journey. They say ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with the very first step.’
We invite you to join us as we embark together on a journey to grow in our faith and walk more closely with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The same instruction that Paul gave them, is the same that we need today. How do believers grow in their faith? How can we help each other continue on this journey and not give up, to endure until the end of our lives? Those answers will be seen in our 7-week series called The Journey. They say ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with the very first step.’
We invite you to join us April 18-19 as we embark together on a journey to grow in our faith and walk more closely with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
The church at Colossae was struggling. It was a church started by Epaphras, a fellow missionary with Paul. But a church started is not always a church grounded, and a journey begun is not always a journey finished. The planted seeds of the good news of Jesus Christ had sprouted but they were wind-lashed and choked by the ever-present weeds of worldliness and false teaching.

One of the themes of human living that the bible addresses over and over is the power of our words. Speech is an awesome and powerful part of our humanity. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). What good our mouths can do, and unfortunately, what bad. Have you ever met anyone who uses their speech perfectly well? Isn’t it true that most of us, maybe all of us are in need of divine help in harnessing our words for good things so that we bring life and healing to people instead of inflicting hurt on even those we love? The Bible tells us that every word we utter comes from one source...the heart. In fact, our speech is a powerfully clear window that can show us our heart health. Jesus said, “For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.” Matthew 12:34 (NLT). So let us learn to speak well for the sake of others. How is that even possible when James tells us,“no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”(3:8)? Welcome to the Heart Talk series, where we will learn to harness the power of our words to bring life to those around us!

Parents the world over think long and hard when they name their children. God our Father did the same. Centuries before Jesus was born, God said through Isaiah, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14. The angelic messenger later came to that virgin, her name was Mary, and told her of this prophecy...His name would be Immanuel and what an amazing name/title that is. Except...Joseph named the baby ‘Jesus’. Were they disobedient? Did they just not like the name Immanuel? Was the name Immanuel a title or a name? Since the angel tells us the meaning of Immanuel-’God with us’-what is its significance for us today? Often people consider these 3 words from the perspective of how comforting they are for us in this dark and uncertain world. And that is true! Yet, have you ever considered them from a different perspective? A perspective that starts with God...that there is something in God Himself that desires greatly, that moves Him powerfully, to be with us? Might it rightly be said that it is the nature of God to be with His creation. That would explain how Moses could say to Israel, “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of [your enemies], for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you” Deuteronomy 31:6. There is a great comfort and confidence that comes into our hearts when we know that not only does God choose to never leave us nor forsake us , He cannot. It is His very nature! He is Immanuel!

The famous atheist, Friedrich Nietzsche, once said, 'He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.' Ironically, Nietzsche who warned that philosophers have killed God, himself died in the demented darkness of insanity at a mental asylum in the year 1900. Yet it is true that the 'why to live', when reconnected to the living God, provides a powerful purpose for the life of each one of us. The same is true for a church. A church on purpose is a powerful entity, helping each of us to ‘bear almost any how’. More than ever, as our nation is fractured and divided by mass shootings, racism, hatred and politics, we need to unite and know why Cornerstone exists. We can understand our purpose that God has given to us, and together live it out in a powerful, effective, and satisfying way.

I suppose someone, somewhere does, but I’ve never really considered feet all that beautiful as far as body parts go. My own are high-arched, gnarly appendages, constantly bearing my weight and often tired and sore. So when I read Isaiah 52:7, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news...”, I struggled with the feet metaphor. That is, until I realized that the focus of the verse is not the feet, but the good news that makes the feet so beautiful. That good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Where would we be if Jesus did not come to this world, live life perfectly, and die on that terrible cross, to rise again three days later? I know where we would be...in bondage to sin, deserving of the wrath of God with a truly terrible eternity ahead of us. How thankful I am that my mother shared the good news with me. I now have the privilege of sharing that same message with others. This series aims to explain the good news so we can proclaim it. Yet not only proclaim it, but live it and experience its powerfully transforming results! I hope you join us as we look at Beautiful Feet that bring the good news of Jesus Christ.

God’s glory, in part, rests on how well we love each other, how together we are. So too does the power of our witness. Isn’t this what Jesus meant when He prayed with His disciples (and us!) just hours before He was crucified: “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” John 17:20-23. ‘Together’ is something the church has to intentionally strive for in the grace the Lord provides us. It does not come naturally, and the moment we lose sight of that, the beginnings of division will slowly come in. We invite you on the journey with us, as we learn how the early church lived ‘together’ in a fractured, divided world, for the glory of God!

There is simply power in a praying woman, whether wife, coworker, friend, or, as we are going to see today, a mother.
Our Wonder Woman for today is no exception, and the bible doesn’t even tell us her name She’s an inspiration for every biological or spiritual mother in our church, and reminds us of the power of a mother in the family, and in the church.
This week, the wonder woman we are looking at is one who had everything in life but a good marriage, yet rose above it to be an extraordinary hero.
Today we get to look at two women in the same story: Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi. There are things we can learn from each woman and it’s my prayer that in the short time we study these women the Spirit will both encourage and convict us as needed.
