✨Sermon Recap ✨

What if Jesus’ invitation to you this week is simply: Come and see?

Pastor Kate reminded us yesterday that in a world full of deadlines, stress, and noise, we need moments that ground us — moments where we don’t just hear about Jesus, but actually experience Him for ourselves.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus gives two curious disciples a simple, life-changing invitation:
“Come and see.”

Not directions. Not an explanation.
An experience — one so powerful that Andrew ran home declaring, “We found the Messiah!”

Pastor Kate shared the story of Sister Annie in Ecuador, serving those with Hansen’s disease (leprosy). In a culture that once labeled them “untouchable,” she found Jesus among the marginalized — through presence, compassion, and the simple gift of human touch.

Jesus is still working in unexpected places today:
• in government, even when the news feels chaotic
• in war zones and places of deep need
• in our neighborhoods, workplaces, homes, and schools
• in the people we’re tempted to overlook

This week Pastor Kate encourages you to ask yourself:
• What assumptions might be blurring my view of others?
• How can I move from hearing about Jesus… to experiencing Him?

Jesus doesn’t just want us to hear about Him —
He wants us to encounter Him.
And when we do, everything changes.

Jesus is with you. Always with you. Even in this moment. How do we know? Matthew 28:20 “…I am always with you…” His promise to you.

Saying Yes to the Impossible Devotional

Standing at the edge of a new year can feel exciting… and overwhelming.

Mary got that.
• She was young.
• She didn’t have a plan.
• What God asked of her made zero sense.

An angel told her she would carry something impossible—and her whole life was about to change.
No guarantees. No timeline. No explanation.

Still, she said yes.

Not because she understood everything…
but because she trusted God.

• Faith isn’t having all the answers
• Faith is taking the next step anyway
• Faith is trusting God more than your fear

So many of us wait until we feel “ready.”
Until the path is clear.
Until we’re sure it won’t fall apart.

Mary showed us another way.

A new year doesn’t need a perfect plan.
It just needs a willing heart.

Scripture
“I am the Lord’s servant… may your word to me be fulfilled.”
— Luke 1:38

Reflection
What feels impossible right now—and what would it look like to say yes anyway?

Prayer
God, as this new year begins, help me trust You even when I don’t see the whole picture. Give me courage to say yes. Amen.

And this doesn't include what you may be dealing with in your own personal life. So, this Thanksgiving week, we're thankful for what?

Most of us want to follow Jesus, but the real challenge is:
What does faith look like at work?
How do I live like a Christian in my relationships?
What about money decisions? Emotions? Culture? Politics?

Romans 12 tells us that worship is not just a Sunday activity—it’s a whole-life calling. In this episode, Kate and Kellie explore six everyday spaces where faith speaks powerfully to all of these areas. Welcome to "Off the Rails!"

There is so much demanding of our time and attention these days - and so many places where our time and presence are demanded of us. But we can't be everywhere all the time - and we can't do it all - even though we may like to think we can. But there is something sacred about drawing boundaries in your life, as difficult as it may be sometimes. In this episode Kate and Kellie talk about boundaries and how they are rooted in scripture beginning with God's example right from creation - and demonstrated all the way through the life of Jesus. If you struggle to say "no," and perhaps feel a sense of guilt when you do, then this episode is for you! Welcome to "Off the Rails!"
