Many people think of God as being eager to punish them for their sin. This is not true! And yet, in Exodus 34:7, God is clear that He “does not leave the guilty unpunished... laying the sins of the parents on the children... to the third and fourth generation.” So what on earth does that mean?! Is God really going to punish our kids for our sin? Is this to be believed? And how can God still be good and beautiful if this is true?

Scripture Reading: Exodus 34:6-7

This is the second message from our guest Pastor Jeff Jantzi on this passage.

It's not unusual to experience fear in response to God's call in our lives. The Apostle Paul did while in Corinth in Acts. But how did he respond in the face of fear? And how did Jesus encourage him to keep going? What’s all this mean for us today?

Eastertide

Often times, Christians will say that they ‘love God’ or that they ‘love Jesus’ but then refuse to do what he said to do. What’s the connection between a 'love for Jesus' and 'obedience to Jesus’? What makes “doing what Jesus said” so important? Join us as we look at Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 7:24-27 where he calls us to build our lives on his teaching by doing what he said to do.

Epiphanytide

It's been said that God's church doesn't have a mission, but God's mission has a church. In Acts 13:1-12, we see this reality in action as the Holy Spirit expands His mission through Paul & Barnabas as they venture out on their first missionary trip together. But what does this story mean for us today?

Scripture: Acts 13:1-12

Guest Preacher: Pastor Jeff Jantzi

Respond together:

1. Pastor Jeff describes hearing and discerning the voice of the Living God involves “seeking Him” and listening to Him “through people”. How have you understood discernment and hearing God in the past?

2. What are some ways that the enemy may be deceiving people and leading them astray today?

Our songs together:

Proper 28 (Trinitytide)

In Luke 17:11-19 we find the story of the one grateful leper who was healed and returned to thank Jesus while 9 others did not. How are can we sometimes be like the ungrateful 9? How can we become more like the grateful 1? How can we "train our brains" and our hearts and minds for gratitude to God?

Guest Preacher: Pastor Jeff Jantzi

Scripture passage: Luke 17:11-19

Eastertide

The early church’s lifestyle testified to the risen Christ. How? How can we live the same kind of lives today?
