Day 4 📸: Nostalgia

My son, Ethan, after hitting a tee shot on the 11th hole at PineView Golf Course in Ypsilanti, MI. I am nostalgic for these days that are coming to an end as he leaves for Law School in 8 weeks.

Good morning! What are you grateful for today? I’m grateful for a community of friends who care deeply for me. #MorningMug

Whispers of Grace - Embracing the Cruciform Life

We’re deep into our “Whispers of Grace” series, and today we’re tackling a powerful, perhaps unsettling, concept: the cross. More specifically, we’re exploring cruciformity – the idea of being formed to the way of the crucifixion. Sounds terrible, right? Jesus himself said, “If you’re going to follow me, every day you have to take up your cross.” This doesn’t exactly align with the “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life” sales pitch many of us heard when we first started walking with Jesus.

How do “wonderful plan” and “take up your cross daily” go together? It’s a tough question, and one we need to wrestle with. Our focus this morning, as we journey through these 15 New Testament words of life, is on First and Second Corinthians.
