Deacon and seminary student Joshua Wines shares with us from Jude 17-23. The world will have a message that is contrary to what we believe. We must be aware of this and pray to stand firm in our faith, while also being on the lookout for one another. We must persevere!

What worldly messages are you tempted to believe?

How can you persevere and remain firm in your faith?

Deacon and seminary student Josh Wines shares an encouraging reminder that God has gifted each of us to give from 1 Corinthians 1:4-9. We have been gifted to give glory to God and to enrich one another.

How has God gifted me?
How can I be community-minded, rather than individually-minded?

Josh Wines continues our study of the Gospel of Mark in Mark 6:30-44 by looking at the person of Jesus in the story of the feeding of the five thousand. Here we can see that Jesus is a God of compassion. He shows that compassion by meeting our intimate needs. As disciples of Jesus, we also should look for ways to serve those around us by bringing them to the One who can fully satisfy all of their needs.
As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself: How does Jesus meet my needs? What needs of others can I meet in a way that shows Christ's compassion?
