Message: “Engaging in the Cruciform Life – Traditional 9:30 AM” from Rev. Kim Meyers

God is love, and authentically grace-filled, so the desire of his heart is that we would live out that model purely. Of course, that is difficult. Jesus speaks many times in the Gospels about the journey he is on and his warnings of how it will end in a surprising persecution. Lent is a time we remember the reality of Jesus’ suffering. The word cruciform is a fancy word for “cross-shaped”. In God’s Missio Dei, we are all called to live a “cross-shaped” life. That means sacrificially loving and serving our neighbor, fixing our eyes on God, and following the teachings of Jesus. Lent is the perfect season to reorient our life habits so that we can embrace the model set before us. Life isn’t always easy, and the expectations are high, but with God it is possible to grow in purity, love, and graciousness.

From Series: "High Expectations, High Grace"

We started off the year by understanding what the “Missio Dei” (God’s Mission) is. So now, it is essential that we carry this into our own everyday lives! ‘High Expectations, High Grace’ is all about the ways in which we embrace and embody the Missio Dei... otherwise put, how we “walk the talk”! Throughout scripture, it is clear that God calls his people to active, engaged, involved lives on mission. Join us, as we learn the spiritual rhythms and essential parts of our Christian faith that put into practice all we have learned about the Missio Dei – God’s mission for us and the world!
