Discovering our Humanity

As I write this, I'm about to enter our worship center for Ruth Barkey's memorial service. If ever there was a motivation for an encounter with Jesus, this serves as one. Life is a remarkable gift — but it is also a remarkably fragile gift. Ruth was so ready for Jesus when death came because of her life of encountering Christ in a beautiful, joyful, inspiring way.

We usually focus on how we encounter Jesus when we seek him out, but this weekend we'll look at an encounter that had no human search involved: it's the story of a man who suffered from a 38-year-long disability and how Jesus came along and decided to do something amazing. It's just what He does in our lives!

If you need something amazing from Jesus this weekend, this is the place to be! I'm pretty excited to share the platform with my oldest son, Kyle, as we will teach together about how Jesus comes to us and changes us. I so look forward to worshipping with you this weekend!
